Pitch is located in the historic Dundee neighborhood. Our establishment is unique in decor, drinks, menu, and staff!

Keeping up with the traditional way the first pizzas in Italy were made, our pizzas are cooked in a coal-fired oven. The menu also features seafood, hand-cut steak, housemade pastas, and a burger full of flavor! Our goal is to provide you with local, housemade, and imported ingredients. We offer a Happy Hour menu through the week. And, our bar provides an array of in-house concoctions as well as your traditional libation! Our wine selection is well-thought and most impressive!! You will enjoy Pitch!

Since everything we’ve ever had here is consistently excellent, we did the filet special and the pizza special (Syd). Never an issue here and tonight was another example of an exceptional experience. I gotta say, for a city with incredible steakhouses, Pitch Dundee blew them out of the water with this filet over risotto special. The Syd (pizza special) could likely be the slice that quiets the ‘pineapple on pizza’ naysayers. Spicy. Just sweet enough. Salty. (Oh man. I’m glad I can heat up a couple of leftover slices of that after writing this I’m craving it again!) Jack, our server, was on it as usual and was a great guy to work with.This place is a can’t-miss! Make a reservation even during the week for dinner. You won’t regret it. Check out the house label red wines - outstanding stuff!

We love going to the Blatt for a nice, laid back meal. Food is always high quality. The fish and chips is my facorite, but the chicken and waffles and the schnitzel and spatzle is also amazing.
