About A Slice of New York Squared
A Slice of New York Squared is a Pittsburgh spot focused on Sicilian sourdough pizza rather than formal dining. The draw is specific: 72-hour fermented sourdough pizza, 12x12 Sicilian pies, a fior di latte Sicilian square pizza.
For a first visit, keep the order centered on the sourdough Sicilian square format. Expect a compact, casual Pittsburgh pizza spot with a lively, cozy, industrial feel rather than a restaurant built around ceremony. If the plan is an easy pizza meal before other plans in Pittsburgh, this fits. If the plan calls for a more formal restaurant experience, pick a different format from the Pittsburgh restaurants guide.
The move is square sourdough, not a generic slice run
The kitchen’s clearest point of view is fermentation and format. A 72-hour sourdough base and square Sicilian structure define the visit, while the fior di latte Sicilian square pizza is another reason to focus the order on the venue’s core specialty.
That narrow focus is also the filter for whether to go. This is a good call for pizza people and anyone who wants a satisfying meal without making the plan feel formal. If you need a restaurant with a different style or a more occasion-driven setting, use the full Pittsburgh restaurant guide and compare by occasion rather than craving.
Go early, dress casually, keep the plan flexible

The setting is compact and casual, with neighborhood energy rather than a formal dining-room feel. Dress for a pizza stop. The price tier is $$, so the value makes sense if the priority is sourdough Sicilian pizza in a focused, low-formality setting.
Who should skip it
Skip it for a milestone dinner that needs a formal setting. For a broader day in the city, pair the meal planning with the Pittsburgh hotels guide, the Pittsburgh bars guide, other Pittsburgh planning resources.
The verdict is simple: go when the craving is Sicilian sourdough pizza and the plan can stay casual. A Slice of New York Squared is defined by dough and format, not ceremony.
