Japanese, Sushi · $$ · 636 Washington Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15228
A Mt. Lebanon sleeper turning out some of the better sushi south of the city. Fresh fish, fair prices, zero pretense. Worth the trip over the hill.

Italian, Pizza · $$$ · 703 Washington Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15228
A South Hills Italian that's been doing proper Neapolitan pizza since before it was trendy. The margherita comes out of the wood oven with the right leopard-spot char and a soupy center the purists demand. Worth the trip to Washington Road.
Order: Margherita from the wood-fired oven
