A Duquesne Student's Blog

Pizza Milano on 5th Ave is famous on Duquesne's campus for good pizza and low prices. The pizzeria is open late into the night and delivers to all the dorms and around the city. For less than 10 dollars you can get the "College Special" which is either a hoagie and a 1 liter drink or a large cheese pizza and drink.

The pizza is the best I have tried in the Pittsburgh area and is characterized by thick tasty cheese. The pizza doesn't have too much sauce and has a sweet tasty crust. I have found that the pizza actually tastes better when it is delivered because it takes time for the cheese to set on the pizza. The hoagies are also very good. My favorite is the buffalo chicken hoagie, which is especially hot.

The 5th Ave pizzeria also has a bar that is very popular among Duquesne students. It is also a hot spot before Penguins and Dukes games. A Duquesne student band usually plays on Thursday nights to a packed bar.

Orders do tend to get mixed up at this place due to the sheer volume of orders the recieve every night. Pizza Milano is by far the most popular pizza place near campus and empty Milano's boxes can be seen in trash cans throughout the dorms as weekend nights progress.
