50 Best Sandwich Shops in Pittsburgh

“It's God's gift on a Mancini bun.

The prices are rare; you can't get better hoagies anywhere else, and the prices put every other fast food/fast casual restaurant to shame. I'd rather get seven cheesesteaks from here than one Ruth's Chris.

It is the pinnacle of locally owned and operated and everyone behind the counter works their butts off to give you the best hoagie in Pittsburgh.“

“EXCELLENT DELI GREAT FOOD VERY CLEAN ANS FRIENDLY SERVICE THE BEST IN PITTSBURGH“

“We love this place; great food! Thank you for NOT supporting MAGA Republican Scumbags.“

“Hampton location/Route8...I got the spicy Italian. It was fantastic. I will be back . service was quick place was clean.Thanks“

“Probably my favorite sub I’ve have in Pittsburgh! And the fries are so good. Nothing fancy but the bread is fresh and they know how to make a good sandwich. Good portions for the price, and lots of options on the menu. Not the cleanest place I’ve ever been to but it adds to the character of the place.“

“It is a great place to be, and the employees have a good attitude.“

“Yesterday early evening order was delivered quickly. The 2 sandwiches were very good. However, we were very disappointed with the french fries that were very soft & greasy. They even made the sandwiches somewhat greasy. We would rather eat crispy french fries, which are way better. Just wanted to let you know that we will still order the sandwiches. Thank you.“

“Love this place. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Food is fresh, tastes great and is absolutely delicious! Staff is exceptional! HIGHLY recommend“

“This is hands down the best fish and chip spot in Pittsburgh. The fish, shrimp and fries were excellent. Perfectly crispy on the outside and the inside just melts in your mouth. The house made donuts are also to die for. Highly recommend checking them out and the owner is super nice too!“

“great food. spicy relish was awesome. meatballs are to die for“

“You absolutely can't miss this place! The food is incredible, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home.“

“My sister and I aren’t from PA and came over for concert, we stopped here for lunch and it was amazing! The lady and guy running the shop (Who I’m assuming are the owners) were so friendly. We waited probably 10 minutes for our food, they were getting a few orders made as we came in and it was worth every minute of a wait. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a solid sandwich. We got the clubs plus a snickerdoodle and a chocolate chunk cookie ( I got panini and my sister just got it cold, both are amazing!) and I’d absolutely get it again coming back to this part of PA“

“The best Sandwich in Pittsburgh“

“best sandwiches in Pittsburgh.“

“This is the best sub joint in Pittsburgh. The meats are top quality compared to most sandwich shops and the bread is the best in the business. Subs are offered in three sizes to please most appetites, and all the sides are good as well. The cookies are a great treat too.“

“I order from here all the time because the sandwiches are delicious! Today, they forgot the mayo and pepper relish on both of our sandwiches so they were very dry and boring. I like to order online to customize my sandwich but what's the point if they skip the ingredients you want to add??“

“Came here after work to order takeout because I wanted a bite to eat. I got the turkey sando and the tots and let me tell you I was impressed! I was skeptical about the hummus being on the sandwich and originally asked for it to be made without but i’m honestly glad that they ended up putting it on there because it took it to a whole new level! The vibe of the place was also a plus, really down to Earth!“

“Love this place. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“A fun setup! Our first time at this location. We were seated upstairs. Was definitely a little snug for our party, but food was amazing as always with Primanti. My only complaint was that we may have been overlooked a little, not being on the main floor. Drinks took a bit to get refilled. Other than that, a nice experience. Would return!“

“Always wonderful experience and recommend everyone absolutely best place to eat .“

“Great food and fair prices“

“I've been to many, many different Jersey Mike's around the entire country - even the original one in Point Pleasant. The staff do a phenomenal job here and make this place the best one out of all the ones I've been to. It's always clean, the food is really good, and service is top notch. Over several visits the last few months it's been consistent too. This is a well deserved 5 stars. Thank you!!!“

“Delivered subs fancy tatse“

“Always wonderful experience and recommend everyone absolutely best place to eat .“

“Best in the Burgh!!! Steak subs 😋 yummy!“

“I'm giving this a 5, because of the excellent way the young lady handled the situation. It was later at night and every other Subway was closed. This location said open. What the site DIDN'T say was that it was for pick up orders only... My phone wouldn't complete the order for some reason. Even though the owner for some reason had this poor girl working by HERSELF AT NIGHT IN OAKLAND at the only open Subway and she was SUPER busy, she took a second to take my order and made sure I was taken care of and did it with a great and positive attitude. I felt so bad that they had her there by herself... She was excellent and courteous. And the food was good as well. I'm appreciative of her.“

“My third time there in 2 months...the steak is a great hometown taste for a franchise or chain restaurant. People are friendly funny and take pride in what they do I haven’t got past the steak yet because it’s that good. I am going to try something next visit (at least try to)“

“It is a great place to be, and the employees have a good attitude.“

“I stopped going to Subway a few years ago because of quality was terrible. A couple of years ago I moved and was very close to this location in Westview plaza. I don't know if it is just this location or all subways have stepped up their game but I have never gotten a bad meal at this place!
Everything is fresh and it fills me up. The best part is I order through the app and they always have at least buy one get a second for 50% off and run a buy one get one free promotion very frequently. Currently they are doing the buy one get one free promotion and I have gone there three times in the last 5 days. All three times the food was delicious and did not take long to get. I highly recommend this place.“

“I travel all around Pittsburgh for my job. Every time I’m over on this side of town, I make sure to stop and get food from here. This is by far the cleanest subway I’ve been to, with the best service. No wait times, and early pick up if you order on the app. I highly recommend going here over any other one.“

“stopped here for lunch when attending a conference. They were short staffed and hit with a rush of people from the event and they handled it so well. The service was amazing and the food was great and totally worth the wait. Shoutout to the two ladies working their butts off today!“

“I had a great experience during my first visit to Firehouse Subs. I was going to work, and stopped by here to get the sandwich. The food was excellent, fresh, and full of flavour. I ordered the Hook & Ladder sandwich, and I would highly recommend trying it — it was delicious and made perfectly.

I would also like to shoutout to the girl working there who helped me choose and customize the best sandwich. She was very kind and happily added extra toppings to make it exactly how I wanted. She provided amazing customer service and made my visit even better.

I was very satisfied with both the food and the service, and I will definitely be visiting this store again. Highly recommend giving Firehouse Subs a try!“

“Great happy hour specials!“

“Everyone who works at this location makes DELICIOUS sandwiches. I’ve been here 4 times in the past week because of how good my sandwich was. It was not only good but fulfilling not stingy with toppings at all. Probably the best location in Pittsburgh! Thank you all!“

“You can order curbside or go in. I drive 3 miles out of the way to order from this Subway. Very clean, servers friendly and consciousness in making each order. Food is fresh, neatly made, wrapped and tasty. Consistent in your order and expectations every time. Great job guys!“

“good philly cheesesteak.“

“Almost a hour to get food, others seated after us waited and served. Another table close by also complained of wait time. we were given the excuse that a large party came in ( not true) and large number of take outs (?). Not sure what type of meat tge burger was but was totally tasteless, took home and threw away. Most disappointing meal ever!! Jefferson Hills/Pleasant Hills“

“Amazing subs and love the chips!!!! George is awesome!!!!!!!“

“If you don’t eat the prime rib on Tuesday and Thursday, you have yet to find your inner peace.... After every sandwich, my life feels complete. For at least an hour and a 1/2.“

“The best sandwich/food shop PERIOD! Very tasty, big portions and a great price! You cant ask for more! Don't cheat yourself, you gotta try it! I GUARANTEE you'll spread the word because you can't keep all that goodness to yourself! #HIGHLYRECOMMENDED“

“I live close to this subway and the two women who are working here are awesome. I know I will get consistent and methodically well made sub.Because the store is clean and the workers are friendly and welcoming I recommend this particular location.

Parking: The parking lot is in a plaza so there is plenty of parking.“

“This is probably the best Jimmy John's I've been to. My order is always correct and tasty. And I don't know what they're feeding the staff but they are always very kind and considerate. The employee at front counter with a frog crocheted bandana was incredibly sweet when I came to pick up dinner for my wife and I. Always happy when I pick up food here“

“Every time we stop by Ross Park Mall, this is the only place we go to. We’ve been coming here for the past two years, and it never disappoints. I usually don’t like eating out, but I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious, always fresh, and the service is extremely fast — honestly one of the fastest I’ve ever seen. The staff and servers are super friendly, polite, and always welcoming. On top of that, the prices are very affordable for how good everything is. Easy 5 stars from me. Definitely my favorite spot.“

“I lived just up the road from this subway for the first 10 years of my life, the man behind the counter who I believe is the one you guys now call lucky is the most amazing person I’ve ever met in a subway and quite possibly any restaurant I’ve ever been to. I went in at least twice a week for 6-7 years and every time he knew my order, sometimes even giving double meat or cheese without asking. Love that man with all my heart and want him to know I’ll be back someday for my tuna sub!“

“Here is a polished, warm, and Google-appropriate version of your review (clear, heartfelt, but concise enough that people will actually read it):

⸻

My grandmother is 95 years old and lives in Green Tree. She receives Meals on Wheels and occasionally cooks for herself, but she doesn’t get to eat out often. When family visits, she loves to treat us to something simple that we can all share together.

A few weeks ago, I visited with my parents and my one-year-old daughter. My grandmother had a coupon for Jersey Mike’s (buy two giant subs, get one free) and was excited to use it so she could treat all of us to lunch. When I brought the coupon in, it didn’t list the Green Tree location, and initially I was told it likely couldn’t be honored.

Manager Chris stepped in, reviewed the coupon, and although this location typically wouldn’t accept it, he chose to honor it so we could enjoy lunch together. He took the time to ask about my grandmother and genuinely cared about making it a positive experience. I overheard him coaching his team about creating great customer moments in instances like this. That level of leadership and kindness is rare.

My grandmother — who was born during the Great Depression and loves a good deal — was absolutely over the moon. We had a wonderful lunch together, and it meant more than just sandwiches.

This location is always clean, the sandwiches are consistently fantastic, and service is quick. We will absolutely continue coming back. Thank you, Chris, for going above and beyond. It truly made our day.“

“I love me some Jimmy Johns!“

“One of my favorite Jersey Mike location, staff is always friendly and inviting and they take gluten allergies very seriously which is very much appreciated. Food is always fresh and delicious and the drinks are ice cold. Keep up the good work! You guys are awesome“

“Always wonderful experience and recommend everyone absolutely best place to eat .“
