If you fancy a slice of pizza, odds are good you are familiar with Badamo’s in Dormont and the North Side. Their two pizza shops have been serving up some of the best slices and pies in all of Pittsburgh for years and have been a go-to of ours as well.
In 2026, Badamo’s opened a new store immediately next to their Dormont location, Badamo Family Grocery and Sandwich Shop, and is a welcomed addition for Italian goods, prepared foods, and scratch-made sandwiches.
MoonLit Burger is one of those restaurant concepts that has taken Pittsburgh by storm starting from their very first event. In just one year the concept went from having somewhat infrequent popups around the city to opening a dedicated restaurant to sling their popular LA-style smash burgers in Dormont.
While we, unfortunately, never made it to a pop-up event, we made sure to be one of the first people in the door when the restaurant opened in November 2021.
It was worth the wait, but admittedly with some kinks that we couldn’t completely overlook as well.
