The short version
Pine Township sits at the northern edge of Allegheny County, bordering Cranberry, Seven Fields, Adams Township and Valencia in Butler County1. It was named for its abundance of pine trees1. It covers a total of 16.8 square miles, almost all land1. Our directory lists 54 places to eat and drink inside its 16.97 square miles, 12th among municipalities outside the city23.
The leading categories are close: Coffee and cafes, sandwiches and delis, Mexican and tacos and pizza each have 7 listings2. 44% of listings are independent.
Perry Highway does nearly everything
Perry Highway has 30 of the 54 listings. Village Run Road has 4 and Warrendale Road has 42. If you are eating in Pine, you are almost certainly on Perry Highway (U.S. 19) or just off it.
Growth
Pine grew faster than any of the other suburbs in this series. Pine had 14,691 residents in 2020, up from 11,497 in 2010 (+28%)45. For comparison, it had 7,683 residents in 20001.
The median household income is about $184,591, the highest of the ten towns in this series, and 76% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. Only about 13% of homes are rented, and the median age is 38.36.
Markets, parks and groceries
The county farmers market list includes Wexford Farms and Pine Community Park Farmers Market7. Grocery stores here include Giant Eagle / Market District Pine #438, plus the Pine Library. North Park is listed for Pine as well8.
Pine borders McCandless, Richland, Franklin Park, Bradford Woods and Marshall inside the county1, so the restaurants on Perry Highway in McCandless are a short drive south.
What Pine is missing, and where to find it
Pine is a residential township. Our directory lists 0 places with a patio and 9 with a full bar2, and there is no bus service to get you between them9. In 2000 it was a town built around families: just over half of households then had children under 181.
For more choice, the neighbors are close. McCandless lies directly south on Perry Highway, and Marshall, Richland, Franklin Park and Bradford Woods border Pine inside the county1. Cranberry and Seven Fields are across the Butler County line, outside the scope of this site. Each Allegheny County neighbor has its own guide here.
Then and now
2000 makes a useful baseline. Pine then had 7,683 people, a median age of 37 and a median household income of $85,817; 34.5% of residents were under 181. 82.2% of households were married couples1. Those dollar figures are not adjusted for inflation, so they cannot be compared directly with today's estimates.
Today Pine has 14,691 residents, a median age of 38.3 and a median household income near $184,59146. The town has roughly doubled since 2000 and stayed young. For restaurants, that growth has mostly landed on one road: 30 of the 54 listings are on Perry Highway2.
The category mix reflects a family suburb. Coffee and cafes, sandwiches and delis, Mexican and tacos and pizza are tied at the top, so there is no single thing Pine is known for in our data2. If you are looking for a specific cuisine, the cuisine pages on this site list every matching place across the North Hills.
