18 Best Delis in Pittsburgh

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“Discovered this place by chance, and it was such a pleasant surprise. I was working out of a nearby cafe, but unfortunately they did not have any food and I was extremely hungry, so I looked up any food places nearby. This Deli was only a couple minutes away, and people were raving about the corned beef sandwich so that is what I got. The deli is pretty simple and has some selection of drinks and snacks, but the sandwich corner is very prominent with neatly stacked ingredients and very sweet ladies who are making the sandwiches. The lady who took my order was extremely sweet and nice, and she asked me for my choice of bread, cheese, and toppings. For $13, the sandwich was massive and an absolute steal. I haven’t had any corned beef sandwiches in my life, but for what it was, it was extremely tasty. it came with two thinly sliced pickles, which added a nice acidity to the fatty meat. I was so hungry. I literally ate it while waiting for my bus. Absolutely 10/10.“

“Best chicken salad in the world and the chicken soup is to die for as well as all the sandwiches.“

“Amazing sandwiches!!!! Outstanding lox!!!!“

“A really nice spot in Northside to get a huge and affordable sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich is wildly delicious, was my favorite thing to order when I wanted a pick-me-up- but especially if you get the owners house-made seasoning on top. The staff there is always incredibly friendly. Unfortunately the Islays logo is painted over now. Its an essential Northside location you may not think to visit if you're just passing through or know nothing about the neighborhood you live in (I didn't because I barely left the house!) unless you realize by some miracle that it has the most amazing sandwiches... My friend told me about it on a walk once, and I went back several times to treat myself to a good meal while living in a bad situation. Seriously, get the owners house made seasoning on top, and buy a whole sandwich/give half to someone outside if you feel like it! The half and the whole are pretty much the same price, and who wouldn't want half an Islays. I never gave half away because I was embarrassed I ordered chicken salad, and often would trade half to my exboyfriend as a peace offering so that he wouldn't yell at me until I had to leave for work. I love you Northside Islays 💜“

“Great pizza for the price, especially if you enjoy New York style pizza. Love their idea of a monthly specialty pizza. October is a French onion soup and it is one of my favorite specialty pizzas I have had in the past couple years. This place is definitely a hidden gem and worth a try. Staff is very friendly and you can tell they are excited to share their cool pizza and dough ball flavors!“
