Vegan Pizza in Downtown Pittsburgh

Elliott Edwards

I hosted a pizza-tasting championship on Fridays at my office over several months, featuring a bracket of the various pizza restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh. Each week, over 30 people would participate in a head-to-head showdown between 2 establishments, where the winner would move on. Pizzas were ranked on cheese, ... sauce, crust, and toppings. I’m pleased to announce that Ephesus is the champion of the 2026 season of the Pizza Working Group. Let all who eat here know: you are tasting the product of champions. Read More

Exceptional service and delicious pizza; even gluten and dairy free options.

By far the best Gluten Free Crust we have had anywhere! And some great conversation with Tim!

We stopped at Ephesus Pizza after a Pirates game, and it was the perfect call. The pizza was excellent, lots of topping choices, and honestly, a steal for the price. The wings? My 13-year-old wing critic declared them perfect. High praise. The owner was welcoming and genuinely kind, which made the whole visit feel ... even better. Great food, great value, great people. Not much character to the restaurant itself, but who needs that when the food is that good? Read More

Okay let me say this I’ve been coming here for YEARS. I never knew they sold SLICES. Today I just so happen to go to ninja. While I waited I walked next door because I seen a sign outside. Walked in greeted by the cashier Tim super cool and great sense of humor. That’s hard to come past these days. Any who, I got 2 ... NICE SIZE slices and a soda for 7 bucks!!!! HOT pull apart cheese I kid you not I went to Pizza Parma earlier today and paid $5.50 for ONE slice and it was warm, no cheese pull ☹️. Read More

Excellent cheesy pizza, pide and subs. We came back to Ephesus after many years and were happy to see that the food was as excellent as we remembered. It’s fast food style, but there’s plenty of indoor seating. Must stop for Turkish pizza and just pizza in general when you’re downtown

The pizza here is excellent! The crust and the sauce were so good. Just writing this review is making me hungry. Their falafel and grape leaves are some of my favorites. What I really love about the sauce is it’s not very acidic nor salty. My friends and I stopped in on June 6th and ordered food. The pizza was ready ... in 10 minutes. I told them this will be an awesome meal and they were very happy with the food. I will be stopping in more often. Right now my friend just ordered a pizza from here on DoorDash so now I’ll be having some for dinner. Read More

I ordered a 9-inch ham and cheese hoagie. It was very good. Grab a plain slice. It is also very good.

They pizza was so good🔥🔥

SURE, Not E.

Priced right. I really like the pizza, wife likes it. They have a toilet, too! And they'll let you use it The guy that has the Milwaukee charger up front is a good conversationalist and has good observational skills. 5 stars! Yinz win! And the bathroom!?! Because secrets keep us sick, here's one: They will ... let you use the bathroom if you ask nicely WITHOUT buying anything. Of course, we always buy. Heck, I may steal to get money to buy their pizza. It's that good and priced very fairly. I don't steal anymore. When I was a child I stole. But if I had to steal to eat, I'd spend my stolen dollhairs here. Nice people, original ethnic food. Clean bathroom. Let's keep it that way, eh? 🐸😺🐢🦆♻️🍄🐖🌎❤️⚓😘🐸 Read More
