Come for the food & stay for the good vibes! The atmosphere is cozy & trendy, and the food is a blend of upscale & approachable. The beer and wine list is respectable, but the cocktails prepared by the lovely staff are even better.

I went around 8:30 and unfortunately learned that the kitchen closes at 8, though they make pizza up until the bar closes. Thankfully, the owner was extremely hospitable and made baba, hummus, and the vegan cheeseboard even though the kitchen was closed. Everything was extremely good, with the cheeseboard being a real standout. I also ordered the vegan Fun Guy pizza, and wasn’t disappointed with my choice.

Oh my goodness, the entire experience was like a dream! From the staff (so friendly/attentive/accommodating) to the atmosphere (high-end loungey that just encourages you to sit back, relax, and enjoy an entire leisurely evening with friends) to the food (OUTSTANDING), I was blown away. Despite being packed, the place felt roomy and spacious. Such a cool vibe. 10/10 absolutely recommend and cannot wait to go back!!

We came here for my boyfriend’s birthday and had a phenomenal time. The drinks were creative and well crafted, the ambiance is super cool, and food was delicious (the crispy golden mushrooms were genuinely amazing). It’s an excellent spot for date night, special celebration, or just a chill evening. Highly recommend.

We’re just in town for the day and had the luck to stumble upon The Forge. The food is great for a vegan/vegetarian, and the waitress

If you’re looking for a cultural culinary experience this is the SPOT. As an Israeli I can tell you that I probably had the best falafel I ever tasted in my life at The Forge. Also, after a long excruciating journey of a worthy Pita in Pittsburgh I finally found peace. The secret? They ship them from Israel daily! If you like trying different kitchens of different cultures, do yourself a favor and try The Forge for some of Israel’s best.

I visited the Forge for the first time, to celebrate my birthday with my friends. From start to finish, it was an absolute wonderful experience. The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful, cozy, bright, and fun. The food was incredible. I’ve never had better falafel, pita, or vegan pizza. When it comes to alcohol, I am very picky and don’t enjoy most drinks. I asked our waitress to have the bartender make me a surprise drink and the only instructions I gave were to make it spicy and use tequila. What I received was honestly one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. I loved it so much I ordered a second, which for me is saying something because I don’t typically enjoy alcohol. The service was impeccable. Every server was so polite, helpful, and enthusiastic. It seems like they really enjoy working there and that’s a testament to the awesome chef/manager who came around to check on us multiple times. He was so very kind. I cannot wait to visit again.

My friend and I had a delicious vegan small plate meal at The Forge this evening. I am NOT vegan and still found everything delicious. I started with a beet infused vodka cocktail (which was interesting and very good) and finished with a really delicious “Bartender’s Choice” cocktail (I had asked for vodka and citrus and/or floral). I would absolutely return here next time I’m In Pittsburgh!
