Top 13 Kid Friendly locations in Allison Park

I recently ordered a gluten free cake from A Sweet Morsel for my birthday. I was delighted that this bakery offered gluten free, custom decorated cakes at a very reasonable price point. Not many places in Pittsburgh do! TLDR: the few design elements I wanted were poorly executed, and the cake itself was rubbery and did not taste good. The customer service I received through the ordering process was (mostly) good. The ordering process: I sent the bakery an email with my desired design- a single tier cake with black frosting and decorated with sage green leaves/vines and dark red roses placed sporadically an the top and sides of the cake. I also requested “XXV” be written on top of the cake in gold frosting in a small font (about 0.75” tall). Casey promptly called me back to discuss options that would make this possible. Chocolate frosting could be dyed black, they could do the vines, but the roses would probably fall off due to the consistency of the frosting this bakery uses. Additionally, they did not have any way to make the golden frosting, and it would have to be yellow. I really appreciated Casey’s transparency with what was achievable, though I was a little disappointed by the limitations of this bakery since they do so many custom cakes. Regardless, I was able to easily place my order on their website after consulting with Casey, who offered to take the order over the phone as well. Scheduling Pickup: I had originally scheduled the pickup for 2 PM. The morning of pickup, I called them and asked if, by any chance, the cake could be ready at noon, if not, it would be no big deal and 2 would be fine since that was what was originally agreed upon and it was late notice. They said it could be ready a bit after noon, so I really appreciated their flexibility on the matter. A few minutes later, they called me to say that they had forgotten to bake half my cake, and that it would be ready at 2. This was a little disappointing, but hey, at least I was getting a very fresh cake! The pickup: I had a family member pick up the cake so I can’t comment on this. The decorations: I was very disappointed with the look of the cake. The green leaves were more of a mint color rather than dark green, and the writing in yellow on top was much larger than I requested. I was able to add the fresh roses and gold luster dust to fix it up, but with so few elements, I was disappointed with the look. The taste of the cake: if all of this had happened but the cake was delicious, I would not be writing this review. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst gluten free cakes I’ve ever had. The chocolate frosting was nearly flavorless, there was hardly any of the raspberry filling in it at all, and the cake itself was rubbery and tasteless. If you would have told me the cake was stale, I would have believed you. Considering that (at least half of) this cake was freshly made just hours before, this is likely attributed to a poor recipe and/or incorrect baking times. While I can’t attest to the quality of their gluten-containing baked goods, I would not recommend a gluten free cake from this bakery.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Gluten free pizza is EXCELLENT.

Easily the pizza in North hills, pan pizza has the best crust I've probably ever had. Also the gluten free is surprisingly good, which is rare.

Stopped in after visiting Deer Lakes Park - the Italian Sub hit the spot! They also offered us a free scoop of ice cream - so kind! Gluten Free bread options 👍

Kristin

The young girl at the counter was kind and enthusiastic, I got my food quickly, and the gluten-free crust is great! She made my day by decorating my lid with a nice message too:)

Kanlaya has gone downhill! I used to think this was the best Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. Sadly, I don't feel that way anymore! I ate there this evening and my experience was awful! Food was terrible, service was SO rude, all the tables were dirty! I don't think the staff can handle getting busy and they take it out on the customers! i've experienced this type of attitude before from wait staff and i kept going back. I don't know why cause the food never gets better, they have changed the noodles in the meals probably to cut costs but in Thai food it changes everything!! Also when they get busy they always skip making fresh rolls and claim they don't have them which it's just laziness! This was my last time going here it won't be missed for sure! If they keep this up this restaurant won't be around for much longer! RESPONSE TO OWNER!!! Your job as owner is to apologize for your rude staff and not make excuses for them! Anytime i come to that restaurant im told to seat myself! As a matter of fact I watched another customer do it and the same waitress that waited on me and my son treated him so nicely! Secondly, you were not that busy when i arrived but once again your staff cannot handle it! MAYBE HIRE MORE PEOPLE!!! You should never as a business owner make excuses or respond to a review in the way that i see in your reviews! It comes off as DEFENSIVE and makes you look like you are in THE WRONG! Your waitress was out of line with the way she treated me and my son and they other waitress noticed! If you don't want people seating themselves you shouldn't let it happen on a non busy day! Or put a sign up! NOT MY FAULT!!! P.S. I don't go to Thai restaurants looking for gluten free noodles hahaha! That's great if it's an option.. but gluten free noodles are horrible especially in Thai food! It's like why bother???

First time I have been to a Jersey Mike's and I loved it! My Scouts chose it and I'm glad they did. Very impressed with the management for cleaning the grill to ensure a safe experience for my gluten-free Scouts.

JJ Panda is our go-to in the area for Asian takeout. The food is always tasty and warm when we pick it up. The service is spot-on with the food always being ready when we pick it up. The prices are very reasonable. I am gluten free and there are many options to choose from. My husband, son and I all get different meals and there are no complaints. What we order that we recommend: 1) chicken fried rice 2) beef sticks 3) wonton soup 4) beef mei fun 5) shrimp mei fun 6) fried donuts (this one is for my son) 7) cream cheese wonton

Gluten free pizza is very good. Good priced beers. They have a lunch buffet listed about $10.99. Medium sized traditional pizza is good for 2 people.
