Fun question. I am a Pittsburgher myself.
This reminds me, there is a town in PA called Mars. I always wonder if its residents are called Martians!

Technically if you are from Minneapolis you are a Minneapolitan and if you are from Saint Paul you are a Saint Paulite. But, both tems are so awkward that no one ever uses them. Instead we just say "He's from Minneapolis"
