More like "hill" city. I wouldnt call those mountains.
Pittsburgh has one up on many (most?) of the cities listed in this thread though. Most of the "mountain cities" listed are actually in a valley or on a plain by the mountains. In contrast, Pittsburgh has the rugged topography right inside city limits. Where else in the country can you get a view of downtown like this?

That road heading out of Ouray down to Silverton is nuts! No guardrails, no shoulders, deep canyon drops a mere few feet away. I felt like I was on a remote mountain road in the Andes. Stellar scenery around there though. The San Juan range is undoubtedly the most impressive range in Colorado.
Salt Lake City, Utah, and the entire SL valley. The edges of the Wasatch front come right up to the cities backyards. If you want mountains and city close together, IMO this is the place.
You can argue about Seattle, Denver, or even Los Angeles, but that argument will end soon after a trip to the Wasatch Valley.
Of course, I'm a discussing major cities here. The smaller ones will be debated forever.

Definitely. I was surprised nobody mentioned SLC until you did.
I'm one of those people, also. Hills, yes. Mountains, no.
