Best Donut Shops In Pittsburgh

Who cares about getting summer-ready, it's time to eat some donuts. Today is National Donut Day.

So, to celebrate, here's a little list of some yummy donut spots in the city:

Peace, Love and Little Donuts: This place has funky and delicious mini specialty donuts. You can find donuts here with just about any topping you can think of, including M&Ms, coconut, apple pie, raspberry lemonade and of course, bacon. But they're little, so don't feel so slovenly for eating half a dozen. You can find them on Smallman St. in the Strip District.

Bella Christie's & Lil Z's Sweet Boutique: This Lawrenceville bakery also has lots of specialty donuts. Here you can find Nutella, maple-bacon, Boston crème and Samoa donuts.

Oakmont Bakery: Everyone in Pittsburgh has heard of Oakmont bakery and it's for a reason. This bakery makes just about every kind of delicious treat, including donuts. They also make the doughsant -- their version of the croissant meets donut. The donut dough is layered like a croissant and each one is filled and topped with delicious icing!

Paddy Cake: This well-known Bloomfield bakery makes every kind of amazing treat, which also includes donuts. They also have your typical flavors, made well and sell out quickly too.

Grandview Bakery: Another bakery that makes tons of delicious sweets, but also has some unique donuts. Most of the donuts here are really big and hefty. As a typical two-donut per-serving eater, one is enough to satisfy me here. My favorite is the giant glazed donut covered in Fruity Pebbles.

And Bonus -- Dunkin' Donuts is giving out a free donut with every beverage purchase.

Go find some donuts and have a delicious National Donut Day!
