We all know about a classic New York slice, a hearty Chicago deep dish and even a crispy Detroit pan pizza. But here's betting you've never heard of "Pittsburgh style," and you definitely would not expect to find it in Los Angeles, which notoriously lacks its own variety of signature pizza. Even so, Jamie Yuccas reports on a spot called Gorilla Pies, bringing some unlikely Pittsburgh flair to the City of Angels.

Best Pizza in Los Angeles, IMO, and I have lived here since the 70s, after growing up back east and having great NYC pizza as the standard.

I prefer East Coast & Italian pizza. However, L.A. neither lacks a signature pizza nor "notoriously" so. CALIFORNIA Pizza Kitchen, Spago? Hello, is this brain on?🎤🎤🎤

Lactose intolerance and CKD, not conducive to “Pizza”. Maybe the Purple Cabbage rendition would work? All sound amazing.

I'm another born and raised Pittsburgher here and this stuff doesnt look bad, but there isnt really anything here that i can see that makes it "Pittsburgh Style" whatsoever. Why did they slap that name on it?

Oh my goodness, I hoped that this Pittsburgh Pizza Style Gorilla Pie Pizza 🍕 will be exciting!

Went to a pizza joint in Pittsburgh 30 years ago, they cooked the pie then threw on some extra cheese uncooked, peperroni too. They told me that was a Pittsbugh pizza.

👎👎 I was born and raised just North of Pittsburgh Pa. Nothing about this guy's style of Pizza says Pittsburgh. They didnt even mention if he does an "ohio river valley" style Pizza. ORV Style pizza has recently been catching attention on social media as "Pittsburgh Style" due to Betos in Pittsburgh, even though it all started at DiCarlos in Steubenville Ohio.
