My wife and I went to Proper before seeing Wicked at the Benedum. We were lucky enough to go during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, so they were offering a special of one appetizer,one pizza, and one dessert from a selected menu. The appetizers were delicious. Bacon Candy was great , as well as the Pepperoni Bread (I believe it was called Pepperoni Pagnotta or something to that effect). The pizzas were top-notch as well. I really wanted a Carnivore, but since it was not part of the special, I chose a pie that had , among other toppings, goat cheese and house cured sweet sausage. My wife had a pizza with spinach and bacon, Both were great. The Peanut Butter Cheesecake and the Turtle Brownie sundae for dessert were also very good. The only issue that we had, and through no fault of the restaurant, is that we began to run short on time, since the show was to begin in about 30 minutes, and we had just finished our appetizers...we did have about a 45 minute to one hour wait to be seated...the place is on the small side. We told our waitress of our time constraint, and she actually helped move things along as quickly as possible (brought dessert and check shortly after the pizzas arrived,as we requested, and got our payment processed and leftovers boxed very quickly!) She was even kind enough to label our bag of leftover pizza with our name and hold it until we stopped in to get it after the show! The beer selection looked impressive, although I am not a real craft beer drinker. I just can't enjoy a beer that is $8 or $9 for a 12 oz pour...that said, it appeared that the selection was quite varied and looked tasty. Again, not an indictment of the restaurant, just a personal preference (I'd rather drink three 23 oz domestic drafts at a local bar for the same price!). All in all, I highly recommend this place and would dine here again ay any opportunity!
