I just moved to the city last Saturday, and so far everything has been absolutely wonderful. My partner and I can't seem to stop smiling, and we become downright giddy over the tiniest of things -- the quaint charm, the close proximity of everything, the hometown feel. We've just spent a year living in NYC (so maybe we've just been on-edge for 13

2. I've never even heard of First National, but I'm very, very happy with Citizens. I see a couple of people here use National City; I had an account with them, and I personally think they can burn in hell.
3. How can you want Western PA pizza instead of New York pizza?!?! (Asks the woman who was born and raised in NYC.) Where in Pittsburgh is Giovanni's, though? I've never head of it before.
Welcome to the 'Burgh!

Thanks for the advice and the welcome!

(Folding it in half is the best part! A slice of pizza isn't really a slice of pizza unless you fold it in half to eat it!)

I hope you didn't move here expecting to rely upon public transit without having investigated the situation first.
Not trying to be mean, but the parts of PAT that do work don't work well and there is what seems to be a near-yearly cut/reduction in services to areas that don't have high ridership rates. If you need to rely upon public transit and you need to live in Pittsburgh, you might end up moving in a few months depending on where it is you need to go and when you need to go there.

2. PNC is great. I don't know about those, but I like PNC because the customer service is superior to any bank I've ever done business with in the past, the banks are lovely to go to (there's something about a bank that looks nice!), and I've never had to pay any fees that didn't make sense...in fact I've never had to pay any fees period. Also, their online banking is fantastic and easy to use.
3. I haven't had bad pizza anywhere in Pittsburgh yet...and I've had a lot of it. I'm sure there's gotta be something bad, but damned if I could tell you where. I usually get mine about two doors down from my house at Giorgio's Place, but unless you're on the North Side, that probably wouldn't do for you.

FYI, they only take cash which is the shitty part of the deal because I NEVER have cash, so I always end up at the ATM first. They also don't deliver...for me no biggy because they're so close, but I don't know where you're located, so it could be an inconvenience for you.
I've also had good luck with Pizza Fiesta which is located downtown, but they deliver to the North Side. I've heard mixed reviews about them, but they have AMAZING subs and I think their pizza is pretty good, but a little more expensive than Giorgio's.
