I was encouraged to try “red top pizza “ after reading an article in Pittsburgh Magazine about pizza culture in and around our area. I made it a point to try one of the suggested places and wasn’t disappointed. It was well worth the ride from Washington PA. Anthony and his wife were so very kind and welcoming. They appreciated our business but especially so after learning we traveled 30 minutes to try their specialty. You wont be disappointed in this sauce-rich style pizza with a double cheese stuffed (yet thin) crust. Best of luck and continued success. What a valley treasure.

Oh my. A 16 inch pie easily weighs 5 pounds. Get the classic pie with only cheese as the filling. You don't need anything else. Anthony and his wife are charming people.

Red Top Heaven- we traveled as a birthday adventure to try our first ever Monongahela Red Top Pizza. It was even better than I hoped! First of all it takes 25 minutes at least for this baby to cook. Oh the anticipation. It smelled divine and was piping hot coming out of the oven. It’s especially important to let this pizza cool so there was 5 more minutes of patiently waiting. From the very first bite I knew that I was tasting something special. The sauce was delicious, great tomato and garlic flavor. Just outstanding! The crust! The cheese so so good. This pizza is a must have. I love finding a pizza shop like this. A mom and pop that is an essential part of the community. A classic that still has the magic. The owners were so kind and friendly, it was a great way to spend an afternoon. So many more things to try. Can’t wait to go back!

My husband loved their Red Top Pizza, said it's definitely the best he's had so far. And the owners are so kind and friendly and you can tell they want to connect with their customers. :). They also had this chocolate cake (which I'm not sure is a normal part of their menu) but it was absolutely delicious. Shame I mentioned it around my kids and I had to share.

My husband and I loved it. They were so nice, and the food was amazing. We absolutely loved eating there it just gave you a sense of welcome. It screamed family owned. Can't wait to go again. The pizza was amazing. It had the perfect crunch on the crust. The garlic bread loaf was a hit as well. The homemade ranch was great.

If you haven’t gotten food from here you need to stop what you’re doing and order some right now. We just moved to the area and decided to try it for the first time. We ordered a pan pizza with all kinds of toppings and it was absolutely delicious, the crust was just the right kind of crispy and absolutely no grease like most pizza places will serve you. We also got a steak and cheese hoagie and a jumbo fish sandwich which were just as amazing as the pizza, the bread is sooo good. But not only is the food great but the staff is so nice and friendly. They talked to me as if I’ve been a regular for years. My only regret is not ordering one of their desserts that they told me about. Will definitely be going back!

I stopped in after a trip to Round Hill Park w/ my daughter and had a memorably excellent meal and experience. The red top pizza was unique and delicious. The owners were wonderfully friendly and accommodating by opening up the dining room for us even though they are currently take out and delivery only. For pizza afficianados (which is most everyone right?), Anthony's is well worth a trip.
