I was also raised in Pittsburgh. Having lived in Ohio and Michigan later in life with vacations to the coastal cities on the east, Pittsburgh feels much more midwestern than east coast to me.
Boston, Philadelphia, NY, or NJ, the actual near-coastal cities, felt as "foreign" as when I moved to CA. (not sure if foreign is a good word, I don't mean it to be negative as I loved my move to CA)
I'm sure you are technically correct based on some google map searches, but I had never thought of Pittsburgh as east coast growing up or visiting later in life for Steeler games

Too East Coast to be Midwest, too Appalachian to be East Coast, too Midwest to be Appalachian. I always just think of us as being a bit region-less, which I think suits the city and its people just fine.
