Pizza Walk With Me

Mun’s Pizza is operated by Dan, one of the newer pizza popups getting started in the city. His HQ is primarily the Northside, spending time slinging pizzas outside Government Record Center and soon to be coming to Allegheny City Brewing most Monday’s.

Dan has been toying with pizza dough for years. He’s spent time working at Badamo’s and Driftwood Oven, learning to appreciate the attention to detail and honing his craft to deliver a superior pizza product. Right now he’s working in the Neapolitan realm, but has plans to open up a pizza shop within Government Records to better serve the clientele and, hopefully, provide some light night food.

In this episode of the podcast, I don’t get close enough to the mic so I’m a tad quiet, but we talk about his history with pizza, what Pittsburgh pizza is and how the pizza scene has changed over the years.

I hope you're into Detroit Style Pizza because it is slowly taking over Pittsburgh. The latest entrant in that arena is Michigan & Trumbull. They're a Detroit Style Pizza shop that was shocked to find a lack of that good, thick, crunchy pizza here in Pittsburgh. In Nate Peck's (chef/owner of Michigan & Trumbull) own words, "Then we moved to Pittsburgh and were like wait, nobody has anything close to pizza like home? which is why I started playing around with the dough and ordered a few pans."

I'll have a more thorough interview with them on the site later, but today is the day you can sample their pizza. They'll be setting up shop at The Vandal tonight in Lawrenceville from 5pm - Whenever-we-run-out-o-clock.

Here's the menu of pizza they'll have at The Vandal this evening:

And here's a sample of what the pizza may look like right before you take a chomp!
