Campiti’s Don Pizzeria

I grew up in Dormont and thus grew up on Campiti’s pizza. This is the greatest pizza shop in the world and I can’t wait to get back… until then my frozen mini camps will have to hold me over.

everything you could want from a pizzeria. I recommend the pizza boats, i get them about once a week and they are always cooked to perfection.

First, I must preface this review by saying that I moved out of the area 3 years ago.
That said, I still have dreams about Campiti’s pizza.
The perfect amount of crust to sauce to cheese ratio, generous toppings, and all around greasy and gooey in every way a pizza should be. Very no fuss pizza, and absolutely delicious. If only they shipped to the west coast!

If it wasn’t for Fiori’s, this would be the best pizza in Pittsburgh
The crust is super super thin, so if you’re not into that it might not be the pizza for you. But the sauce is great and so is the cheese.
Hoagies are awesome too. I like the steak which comes with Italian dressing. The Italian hoagie is pretty good too, but I prefer the steak.
This is a take out pizza place. Don’t waste your time dining in and expect to have five star waiters and service. This isn’t the place for that.

I usually find it difficult to commit to Campiti’s with Fiori’s right down the road, but I love the fact that they are inexpensive and from my experience, always friendly.
Sauce and cheese are both great but their dough is a little bit thinner which can sometimes result in a crispier dough that isn’t my preferred style, but still good.

Quality has taken a nosedive since changing hands. Nothing is as good as it was. Now it’s just crap.

I really like their pizza, very very good.
We stopped and had a pizza and Italian hoagie. The pizza was awesome, I would definitly recommend their pizza.
The environment was very loud, not comfortable for my family because of the loud volume of everything.

New ownership is a joke. Has manager fire a 40 year employee over the phone. No balls to handle the situation himself or in person. Nice way to operate a business. Idiot

This place is some of my favorite pizza anywhere in the US. This place is delicious and the pizza is top notch! Love the smaller pepperonies and the crumbled sausage. The hoagies are delicious too, but I’d suggest getting it with out lettuce or on the side, nothing nastier than warm lettuce!

Good pizza, very nice folks, and good service
I am new to the area and saw this place on Unilocal.Took the family and we ate in. Had a very good experience.
The pizza itself is a strong, basic, pizza. The crust is fairly thin, but not really New York style. It’s slightly doughier than New York, and has a nice «snap» of crispness on the very bottom. The sauce is very traditional red tomato sauce. It’s is not overly spicy, nor is it too sweet. They were pretty generous with the toppings and the pizza was backed just right — cheese slightly golden.
I will go back to try their hoagies. I saw one being completed as I was leaving and it looked incredible. I’ll have to go back!

Compared to the original Don Campiti Pizza of the 60’s and 70’s this is not even close. The legacy of a superior pizza in Dormont has lost it. No longer up there with Beto’s and area best. Sad to say this pizza was so bad. I have been a diehard customer of the 60’s and 70’s. Crust was like cardboard. Toppings were worse. What happened to the legacy Don Campitis Pizza ?
Update: Under new ownership, making great progress
Rating considerably improved. Give them a shot. :-)

Disappointed after hearing so many good things. Pizza crust is like a cracker. Hoagie is pretty good, but does not remove the disappointment over the pizza. I think Molly’s Pizza next door is a lot better… I won’t order from here again.

This is the pizza I cut my first tooth on as a kid. It will always be my standard measure for greatness in pizza. Come enjoy and explore Dormont.

Consistent and quality. Although it might be a love it or hate it thing. I love it, so there ya go.

Pizza was absolutely great. We enjoyed the smell and taste was good. The crust is hard but taste good. I really enjoy this pizza I would really recommend this pizza place, if you are not a fan of high end pizza joints. Thanks guys.

The Hype surrounding this place will probably lead to your great disappointment. We moved in to the neighborhood, and all we heard was Campiti’s this Campiti’s that, and how it is without a doubt, the best pizza in the Burgh.
So, of course we tried it, and were pretty excited to do so. Now I have lived in several different Pittsburgh neighborhoods, and you always find the pizza you like where you live. Campiti’s pizza is not the pizza I like. I wouldn’t order a pizza from them again.
Honestly, it was about up to a frozen pizza standard. Now, I’m not saying they are making frozen pizzas, they aren’t but, I have even had better frozen pizzas than the pizza we got from Campiti’s.
Another reviewer hit the nail on the head saying people who say this is the best pizza around probably have some long running emotional attachment to this place That can be he only logical reason that people actually say it.

People really are nuts about their pizza in the ‘burgh — this I’m learning.
I ordered a pizza from here because it’s in my hood (walking distance, even) and because someone told me it’s been their favorite pizza since they were wee little. I think a lot of places in Pit have false-​yum status because people are just emotionally attached to things they’ve eaten for so many years… I don’t fault them for that, but this just isn’t great pizza, in my opinion.

Looking for cozy décor, a fun atmosphere, and friendly service? Don’t come here.
Looking for a fantastic pizza served fast and for relative cheap? Look nowhere else.
Campiti’s is a hole-​in-​the-​wall, formica countered, 70’s-paneled, Pepsi menu board behind the cash register kind of place. There’s not much seating, the t.v. is a tiny tube job from the 80’s, and your pie comes on a piece of cardboard wrapped in a paper bag.
And the service? Well, they’re efficient. They don’t care if you like them, they just want to get you your food, and fast.
But who cares? The reason I make it a personal mission to go to Camps every time I return to Pittsburgh is the pie. It’s thin and crisp, yet solid. Nice browning all over. The sauce is a well-​seasoned red gravy that provides a tasty base for the copious amounts of mozzarella and whatever other toppings you want. Me, I go for the pepperoni — which is the type that cups up in the oven, forming little pools of fat — and anchovies.
It’s spectacular, and reasonably priced. It is, honest-​to-​god, my favorite pizza place.
Worth the trip to the South Hills, wherever you start in Allegheny County.

I First Met Don in 1973 when I ordered my first Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza.
Don use to work the counter himself and was always a very customer service kinda guy.
I really miss him, but I’ll never miss this Pizza cause I’ll ALWAYS be a customer.
As far as rateing, this place will be on my TOP 5 till I die.

Camp’s has a cult following. As soon as you walk in you can smell the melting mozzarella. Love that smell. W grew up on Camp’s and is almost in the cult, so we go to Camp’s from time to time. It has been a real long time since our last visit so it was fun to stop back in.
The crust is a medium thickness, not to thin and not to thick, and somewhat crunchy. One friend calls it almost like a biscuit, I really don’t get that, but it is a little chewy and just a little brown around the edge. One thing that I notice is they do not overload the pizza with sauce and toppings like some places. Enjoyed our pizza and will be back. Have had the hoagie in the past and if I remember correctly, it is very good.
