Pittsburgh Pizza Happy Hour
Isn't any hour you're surrounded by pizza a pizza happy hour. Let's look at some good pizza happy hours!
Pizza greetings to you!
As the days grow longer and the sun warms this little corner of Pennsylvania, we’re finding more and more excuses to leave the house. Often the best reason to leave the house is for pizza - maybe there’s a new shop you need to try or your doctor prescribed you a steady dose of pizza and you need your medicine. We’ve all been there.
For me, there’s nothing better than a hot pizza and a cold one. Oddly enough it’s hard to find that pairing in this city. Perhaps the one situation I would drink a huge pitcher of Yuengling is with a Sloppy Pizza Pie.
There’s a few spots offering up a cold beer and hot pizza at a sweet price that I thought I’d highlight as we all sneak out of work early on Fridays to get the weekend started. I looked at a ton of pizza shops, but very few offer beer and even fewer offer a happy hour. If I missed your fave let us know in the comments!
Driftwood Oven Pizza Happy Hour
This post was inspired by a Driftwood Oven post announcing they are starting a happy hour on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Looks like drafts of wine and beer are $5 and a $1 off a slice. A beer and a slice will run you about $10, which is the sweet spot for a happy hour.
Driftwood Oven also says they’ll be something weird on TV which is the main Happy Hour attraction.
Spirit Pizza Party Happy Hour
$9 round pies? Half off drafts and cocktails? Is Spirit trying to go out of business?
This honestly might be the best deal in pizza. While I am disappointed to see that the square pies are not in the Happy Hour zone I get it. Those are a national treasure and to offer a discount on such a majestic pie would devalue them. An artist knows their worth and it’s only fair to pay market value for some of the greatest pizza in existence.
Everyone else in my family prefers the round pies so this is an astonishing deal. My dad, Tommy T, has even said the round pies at Spirit are “The most delightful pizza I ever had.” Wow!
Caliente Pizza Happy Hour
Caliente has a very solid happy hour that offers up a personal pizza (plus one topping!!) for 46. $2 off a draft means you can probably have a great meal for $10. Tossing a $10 on the bar, asking for your usual happy hour special. Is there anything cooler? No, that’s the pizza life.
Mineo’s Happy Hour
There’s no pizza special at Mineo’s, but if you visit their bar you can get $2 off all beer, wine and cocktails every day between 5:00pm and 6:30pm. It’s something, and you’ll definitely need liquid to wash down the gallons of cheese that tops every Mineo’s pizza.
Pretty paltry. I swear I did a bunch of research for this! Let me know what I missed or where you go for your pizza happy hour.
Okay, enjoy your Friday. Pizza ya later!
