About Danny’s Pizza and Hoagies

Danny’s Pizza and Hoagies, originally opened as Danny’s Park View Pizza in 1960, has been a staple of the South Hills community for over six decades. Founded by Daniel “Danny” Rowsick Sr., the establishment earned its name for the beautiful view of South Park that guests could enjoy while dining. Located on Route 88, Danny’s Pizza is one of the longest-standing businesses in the area, still operating from the original building that once stood beside the iconic South Park Drive-In.

After 59 years, Danny passed the traditions and recipes off to his nephew, Alexander Hvizdos. At 24 years old he took the reins of the family business to continue the legacy and tradition that his uncle had so carefully cultivated. Now in 2025, the 65th year for Danny’s Pizza and Hoagies we look back and remember the past as we push on to the future and continue to always be the home of Pittsburgh’s Original Oven Baked Hoagie. We look forward to being a pillar of the south hills area for years to come.
