South Hills Pittsburgh
Neapolitan Inspired Dining | Private Events
Wood fire. Unique plating. The table as a small hall. Vince cooks Neapolitan pizza and elevated plates — then brings that craft to your house.
“Simplicity is perfection when it comes to cooking.”
The cook
Head Chef, Founder
Years at the wood oven — mosaic dome, copper, a map of Naples on the wall. Dough, San Marzano, basil, oil. Now that fire comes to South Hills tables.
Plating as if the plate were a small hall. Fellowship first. Ingredients treated with care. The bow is the menu; the arrow is the plate that lands.
Services
The main table
Vince comes to your home or venue — Pittsburgh tables, or fly him out — and builds an evening around the people in the room. Plating, pacing, fellowship. Not catering.
Birthdays, small weddings, holiday tables, client dinners. Guest counts typically 8–24. You host; he cooks. South Hills is home base. The road is open.
Weeknight fire
He arrives, cooks something custom, and you sit down within half an hour. Bring the ingredients he lists and keep the cost down — or he can shop.
Best for 2–8 people. You may provide groceries from his short list, or he brings them. The first option is the quieter bill.
This season
Citrus, late tomatoes, squash, wood fire, a darker oil. A rotating autumn set — not a restaurant menu, a season at the table.
Ask for the fall set as a private evening or as the 30-minute meal. It changes as the market does.
This season
Citrus on fish, late tomatoes, squash, pomegranate, a darker oil. Ask for the fall set on a private evening or as the thirty-minute meal.

Pick from the nights currently offered. Vince is not open every day — the calendar is small on purpose. Pittsburgh kitchen, or fly him to yours. He writes back to confirm.
