Our Beginnings
Founded by Paul Powell, Large Plain Pizza and Pints has deep roots in the heart of McCandless, Pennsylvania. In 2008, Paul opened his first pizza shop, and it was a dream fueled by the unwavering support of his late mother, Wendy Powell. She not only provided the encouragement he needed but also extended a helping hand, giving him a loan that set his pizza journey in motion.
With Wendy’s support, Paul launched what was initially known as “Large Plain Pizza” on Babcock Boulevard. Over the years, Paul’s business grew, and he wanted to create a larger and more inviting space for the community. In 2022, he seized the opportunity to purchase the former Luciano’s Pizza property on Duncan Avenue, marking the start of a new chapter for his pizza shop.
A Touching Tribute
The decision to relocate to Duncan Avenue holds deep personal significance for me—it aligns with my heartfelt desire to honor my mother’s memory. To commemorate her birthday, Large Plain Pizza & Pint celebrated its grand opening on July 22, 2022. On this special day, we donated half of the proceeds to A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting breast cancer research. This cause is deeply personal to me. I lost my mother to breast cancer in 2009, and her unwavering support was pivotal in helping me launch my first pizza shop. Now, by giving back, I not only honor her legacy but also extend a helping hand to those facing similar challenges.

Our commitment to the local community extends to our menu, which proudly features an assortment of local craft beers. We strive to infuse the Pittsburgh spirit into everything we do, from our black and gold decorations to the sports memorabilia adorning our walls.
