Fire Heavily Damages Well-Known Pittsburgh-Area Pizzeria

DELMONT, PA — Ianni's, a pizzeria recently profiled by celebrity pie reviewer Dave Portnoy, was heavily damaged in a fire that erupted after the eatery closed Sunday.

"We have no idea what started it or what happened," a post on the pizzeria's Facebook page stated. "We are beyond blessed that none of our employees or neighbors were hurt. That's truly all that matters. We are all safe."

The post stated that the business has been experiencing an increase in sales following a great review from Barstool Sports' Portnoy, whose One Bite Pizza Reveiws' YouTube channel has 1.3 million followers.

"This is the absolute worse time to have such extensive damage to our building," the post stated. "We will do everything we can to get open as soon as possible."

Ianni's also has location in Vandergrift and New Derry and soon will open a pizzeria in Johnstown.
