Applied To TV
The Walking Dead comics are far ahead of the AMC TV series. Averaging less than 20 issues adapted per season, the live action adaptation of Robert Kirkman's comics would arrive in Pittsburgh (assuming it continues to follow the source material) around Season 11.
Though The Walking Dead is currently set in Alexandria, Virginia, the series films in Senoia, Georgia. The set is south of Atlanta, Georgia, and is walking distance from many other locations, including the Woodbury set which was set in Georgia in terms of the story. It is unlikely the production would ship their cast and crew up to Pennsylvania to create the sequence.
In Season Seven, The Walking Dead managed to introduce a Richmond, Virginia skyline in several scenes without leaving Georgia. Of course, exploring a city and crossing an iconic bridge are much more detailed requirements, but this is the series which managed to adapt a tiger from the comics into live action. Portraying Pittsburgh might be a breeze.

As Ohio potentially becomes a factor in the comics, the locations being introduced in the current run are among several cities to be explored in The Walking Dead.
While the TV series has only ventured through Atlanta, teased a distant Richmond, and introduced small communities such as Woodbury, Terminus, and various neighborhoods, the comic book has not shied away from major locations.
Just like Pittsburgh, the comic thoroughly explored Washington D.C., though much earlier. The TV series elected not to journey into the Washington D.C. storyline, only showing the skyline from a distance on the journey to Alexandria. However, like the TV series, the comics have stay rooted in Alexandria, Virginia since the Safe-Zone was introduced.
