Don't waste your money!!! \nWhen I moved to Brookline about 8 years ago, I thought this was a pretty decent restaurant. We always went for wing night, and the wings were very large and quite tasty. My favorite sauce was the honey jalapeno. While the wings were decent and cheap for the size, I had from day one thought t...

I haven't been to the Getaway in a few years, and now I remember why. Aside from my hubby, who got a burger and fries, we were all rather underwhelmed with our dishes. Once upon a time this place used to be really good. Now not so much.

First I must clarify that my rating here is based on my scale of pizza-ratings only.

My fave pizza near the burgh. The sauce is so unique... it's sweet and delicious. I like the wings here too. I don't know why. I just like the combo of hot wing sauce with sweet pizza sauce. Located in a weird spot up a hill, near a feisty local bar.

Fiori's is always at, or near the top of the \"best pizza in Pittsburgh\" argument, and rightly so. \n\nSimply put, the pizza is great.

Very sad to find that donuts are made the day before. I ordered three dozen donuts at about $10 a dozen, and found them to be stale and bordering on disgusting. With all the awesome donuts in this town, why would you sell \"yesterday's donuts at today's prices?\" Won't be returning there for any baked products as I ...

Pita Land has the best pitas in the city, hands down.\n\nThey also have amazing spinach pies and pepperoni rolls - well, technically, they are not pepperoni rolls, but pita pepperoni rolls. Which is even better. \n\nI brought a $8 jar of tahini from Giant Eagle and came in here two days later and saw I could have broug...

Score ethnic food! I will say that I love their hummus. It's very tasty as well as their pitas (which appear to be sold all over the city). The staff is friendly and helpful and they have many things that you can't find anywhere else.

Pitaland is the best run business in Brookline (with las palmas a close second). The caf\u00e9 is well staffed and the food is delicious. I love the breakfast flatbreads and falafel for lunch.

This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. It's beautifully decorated. Our server was attentive. We started out with a hummus platter. It was just ok, the pita was pretty dry. I ordered the chicken Romano it was absolutely delicious. The pasta that came with it was also good. I will be back again soon.
