Pittsburgh police said the 15-year-old driver was arrested following the chase, which began when officers saw a vehicle without its headlights on run a red light at the intersection of Penn and North Negley Avenue.
Four other juveniles inside the car were not hurt. The driver faces charges of receiving stolen property, possession of firearm by a minor and fleeing and eluding a police officer.
The owner of the pizza shop tells Channel 11 News damages are estimated at $50,000.
"This is what we rely on to take care of our family, so we have to get the place back open as quick as possible," Kevin told Channel 11's Steven Fisher. He did not want to use his last name.
There were no reports of injuries. Rita Sims was waiting for a bus near the scene.
"I'm just thankful that nobody was sitting here at the bus stop, because this is a crowded bus stop," she said.
