The Most Scrumptious Delis in Pittsburgh

S&D Polish Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (315) • $$

"Took a walk down the strip and searched for something different. Saw S&D and opted for what was left in their hot box. Polish sausage and kraut and a side of potato perogis looked good. Requested a side of mustard for the sausage and sour cream for the perogis. No compliants and worked well for lunch break!"

Carson Street Deli & Craft Beer Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (209) • $$

"Just got two sandwiches and they were phenomenal. The people or chill , is a good vibe and nice scenery. The food is very good and fresh will recommend the family and friends."

Kravitz Delicatessen

★★★★★ 4.5 (162) • $$

"Great food, friendly service, wonderful music. Loved it! If you have never eaten here try it."

Coffee Etc.

★★★★★ 4.8 (110) • $

"This is a cute little coffee shop and has that small town vibes. It had games, a puzzle while you wait for your order and really yummy drinks. I got the turkey bacon sandwich and it was honestly, one of the best ones I've had. The chai was really good."

Eat Unique

★★★★☆ 3.6 (195) • $

"52 dates in 52 weeks.Our first venture is out to Unique Eats to experience their Vegan food and we were so pleased with how pleasant everyone was and how helpful they were with advising us on the menu. We ordered the Malibu Avocado Burger and the Impossible burger with cheddar cheese, onions and mushrooms. We also ordered a caramel and hazlenut Latte and the food was delicous, the lattes were good and the service was really good."

Deli on Butler Street

★★★★★ 4.6 (119) • $

"It's a Deli, it's on Butler, and more importantly - it's a good lunch.I've been traveling a bit recently and when I came back to town this was the first place I stopped in at! Why? Because for 8-10 bucks and 5 minutes you can be walking out the door with a nice panini, pickle spear, and a bag of chips. Is it going to change your worldview on American cuisine? No it's just a deli on Butler, but it will fill you up - and they got an extensive menu, so I can fully recommend stopping in if you want a sandwich!"

Kevin's Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (98) • $

"A great place for breakfast sandwiches. Friendly, fast service. Reasonably priced. Everything is made fresh the way you want it. And outside the shop, there are tables and chairs if the weather's nice. Bright blue umbrellas at Webster Hall. The best BLT !"

Bagel Factory

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (209) • $

"I have only ever ordered breakfast from here and never went in for fresh food.I went on a huge uber eats delivery binge at the time because I just didn't feel like cooking. The university area is filled with cafes and coffee shops which don't tend to have many *real* options for breakfast. Bagel factory has omelettes and skillets available, in addition to french toast and sandwiches. You also get a bagel for free on the side (at least with the skillets and omelettes you do) which is nice and there's a bit of variety.I was never really blown away but it was decent, and much better than having crepes or something.They also make milkshakes which tend to be good, but that isn't their main thing."

Chicco Baccello

★★★★★ 4.5 (75) • $

"Are you a fan of traditional deli's? Well, here's one you MUST check out. Couple weeks ago, I stopped in during a work trip and I was in love with this absolutely super cute spot. They have some of the BEST meats. From fully loaded salads to wholesome sandwiches/wraps to easily the best cannoli I've had, you will truly enjoy your lunch. They're really a friendly group and I would highly recommend checking out their Washington/Canonsburg location! : Bollywood salad, The Chelsea, The Marco and a chocolate cannoli!"

Food For Thought Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (78) • $

"The Greatest little Gems! I will admit! Not a deli sandwich type of guy! BUT, this really makes you reexamine the Stance - incredibly fresh! Filling! Great service! Extremely neat and clean! You gotta try this place! The Triple Decker did the Job!"

Smallman Street Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (90) • $

"I was in the mood for a rueben and checked both yelp and google and looked for the best.Wow where they all right best rueben I have ever had in my life.Smallman Street Deli is clean and has plenty of seating as well as there own parking.The staff are extremely fast and friendly.I have had many rueben's over my lifetime, But Smallman Street Deli is by far the best I have ever had.You can be sure I will be back again and again.If you are in the mood for a great life changing sandwich then you need to come to Smallman Street Deli right away."

Zuppas Delicatessen- Cranberry

★★★★★ 4.5 (62) • $$

"Excellent food and great service. Both locations are exceptional. We have tried most of the menu now and nothing disappoints."

The Bridgeside Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (52)

"We visited The Bridgeside market for the first time and were pleasantly surprised at all the fresh authentic Italian foods available. Their pizza, arancini and fresh mozzarella are excellent. They have tons of other fresh-prepared and packaged Italian products too! If you haven't tried thhese guys, you need to."

Parma Sausage Products

★★★★★ 4.8 (49) • $$

"Absolutely amazing sausage! In Pittsburgh visiting family and came down to the Strip district. They don't have a whole lot of selection, but that's probably a good thing because what they do do, they do it well.I got the hot, mild and spicy sausage as well as the breakfast sausage. TBD on the breakfast (that's for tomorrow morning) but the others were amazing. Cooked it according to the guy behind the counter's recommendation in the style of Italian peppers and onions (and used the handy-dandy instructions he gave me) and it came out amazing!My favorite was definitely the mild. It had a slight sweetness I was super digging. The hot and spicy were great too...but the mild hit the spot for me.Next time I'm in town, I'll be back! Heard they even ship, too!"

The Country Store

★★★★★ 4.9 (43) • $

"Delicious food, especially the bacon and French toast! great service even though it was insanely busy."

New York Super Subs - Squirrel Hill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (54)

"New York Super Subs was good. The quality of the pastrami doesn't compare to the kosher cuts you can get in the New York area, but I still really enjoyed my sandwich. The pickle was good, and the coleslaw was a generic, mayonnaise based slaw.I will eat at New York Super Subs again! Head over for solid sandwich options."

Fredos Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (49) • $

"Oh my goodness! A hidden gem in Pittsburgh! If you like Balkan foods-- you will love this place! Fresh bread, the grilled cevapi is to die for. Plenty of food, couldn't finish it all. Their meats are filled with flavorful spices. The owner cooks by herself and everything is homemade! This place also has a few grocery shelves with European chocolates, coffee, soups and seasonings. This place is a must go if you're in the area!"

Rizz's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51) • $$

"Joined my wife and her seven work colleagues for dinner. We had quite a variety of entrees and appetizers. From the hot cheese balls to the pizza logs to sandwiches and pizzas - everything was delicious. Drinks and beers were cold and good. Prices were very reasonable. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich with onion rings along with dipping sauce and I ordered the cold Italian hoagie with french fries. Everything was exactly as it should be, served quickly and could not be better. Services was quick, attentive and spot on. We will definitely return when in the area."

Don's Deli - Eatery & Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (42) • $$

"The best option for good deli I've found in Beaver! Super fresh sandwiches made on breadworks with boarshead meats. Lots of options, all really good. Totally clean interior and I like the owner- she's clearly a nice woman and made me feel like I was right at home! She made the Italian dressing to order which gets 1,000,000 bonus points. Great sandwiches have homemade Italian on them!!! They apparently make a breakfast sandwich on Oram's cinnamon rolls for brunch. WOWZAH! Delicious I'm sure! I'll definitely be back!"

Silva's Lebanese Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (32) • $

"Excellent homemade Lebanese food. These ladies make everything from scratch. It's a great place to pick up a variety of Lebanese food to take home and have several meals. I don't cook much ethnic food at home because I usually don't have all the ingredients needed. If you're tired of the same old thing, this place offers a lot of different things to try."

Brother Tom's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (40) • $

"This is an amazing little deli/breakfast nook in Sharpsburg. Do yourself a favor stop in for breakfast or lunch. Leave with a box of donuts and homemade soup to go. The people are wonderful the food is delicious we love it every time we go"

Ida’s Sandwich Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (32)

"Really good food with a bunch of different options. Everything is made from scratch after you order but it is well worth the wait. Good place for breakfast or lunch. The service is good and portions are very generous."

Nellie's Sandwiches & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (46) • $

"This is a really nice hole-in-the-wall type of place that serves really good Mediterranean food at a reasonable price, and with friendly service to boot. I came here for lunch and got a falafel sandwich. It was very tasty with a lot of a very tangy sauce, a touch of mint and some kind of pickle in addition to the falafel, lettuce and tomato. It was a good deal for a $7.50 sandwich. The menu is large with a good selection of different sandwiches and platters. The place is very small with a few tables. Not fancy at all, but just fine for a quick lunch. You order at a counter and then your food will be delivered out to you. The gentlemen taking orders is very friendly in an old world type of way. I'd definitely come here again."

J&M Export Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (24) • $

"For a little dumpy, hole in the wall, dive of a deli, they serve tasty quality sammies. Located close to work, Export Deli uses only Boars Head meats. I am a bit of a snob anymore about nitrates and Boars head has many preservative and nitrate free meats and cheeses including the kind in my Cajun Turkey sandwich today. This place is not fancy, but they have a lot of choices from their deli sandwiches to salads and sides. I think I saw they make burgers too. Not sure. The menu is written on the wall. My sandwich had some cute name like the Cajunator or something. I really don't recall, but I got it on wheat and they can serve it hot or cold. Hot is more my speed, so after a short wait, out came my sandwich.The bread was nicely toasted, and fresh tasting. There was plenty of meat stacked high and the right amount of veggies to compliment the sandwich. I thought I would only eat half, but nope I found room. Very good. Would definitely make a return visit. I really wish they served their sandwiches with a dill pickle on the side like many other delis. Missed that sour crunch."

Oakmont Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (34) • $

"Great sandwich, I had the Chuck Butt which is a corned beef on rye with coleslaw! Excellent! Lots of flavor, and the slaw was tasty. They have quite the selection of sandwiches and build your own, also. Then there's the gelato - wish I had taken some for the road, but not today .I'd recommend giving this place a try to anyone in the area!"

Eazer's Restaurant & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (29) • $

"Decent coffee & a good little breakfast, had the veggie omelette & !rye toast, made my Italian heart happy"

The Isaly Company

★★★★☆ 3.6 (41) • $

"Best place for breakfast. Very nostalgic and good greasy spoon kinda place. Gives you a feel for the west view community and fun atmosphere."

B & Z Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (23) • $

"So far everything I have ordered has been great. Spicy Italian, regular Italian, cheesesteak. But the rueben was by far, one of the best I've ever had. The sauerkraut had a bit of sweetness to it that was perfect. I would buy just that! A ton of meat. Just so good! I'm going there for Italian hoagies and Rueben's when I get a craving. And this is probably a thirty - forty minute drive for me. It's not close. Yes. I would travel for a good sandwich. Everyone is very friendly. I picked up some frozen soups for a future dinner. They look delicious. Grease variety of breadworks bread and rolls is always a bonus."

Pizza-Deli Six Pack

★★★☆☆ 3 (40) • $

"This was interesting. I read reviews thinking the Pizza might be ok so I ordered Delivery. I stick to the script and order a plain Cheese Pizza... the Menu even calls number 1 "the plain" so I'm thinking these folks serious bout there Pizza. I don't know WTF just happened but it was not the move. the pizza delivery man must of got my Pizza from Sheetz ! I fell like they have better Pizza at Gas Stations. It was really bad. Ellios Frozen Pizza type of Pizza. Nah, TombStone!!! Lol I'm wondering how this place makes the other more Specialty Pizza's if this is there Cheese Pizza. I try to not slam too hard so I am giving 3 Stars because the Fish Sandwich with Fries was good Money!"

Shop-n-Go Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (20) • $

"Great staff and great food for an affordable price. Fresh cut fries, bacon burgers, super subs with fresh cold cuts."

Frenchi's Deli & Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (19) • $

"An Oakland classic. I have always heard about their amazing wraps and how they put a bag of chips in them and I was finally able to try one this weekend. I had the Frenchi classic #1, which was piled high with lettuce, tomato, meat, chipotle sauce, cheese, onion, whatever other toppings you want, and of course I had to get a bag of chips in it. I had the spicy Doritos put in. It ended up being $9, but the wrap was huge. The wrap was super delicious and tasty. Also, their hospitality is excellent. They remembered my friend and even offered us free drinks on the house. They are open pretty late, so whenever you are craving a sub or wrap, you can get it. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back!"

Hanini's Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (18) • $

"A Bodega with great take out sandwiches.For those who don't know Hanini's Market is a Cleveland based market. I had seen them throughout Cleveland during our many trips there, but never tried them. I was happy to see a location pop up in Wilkinsburg and had to check them out. Hanini's is a corner store that has just about every snack you could ever want like candy, chips, pop and a few grocery staples like milk, bread and eggs. You can also buy t shirts, hats and other clothing, play the lottery and get "smoking supplies" as well, but the REAL reason to come here is for the sandwiches! It's more convenience store than restaurant so to go is the only option.The sandwich counter set up is very similar to Subway's in which you tell them which sandwich you and what bread you want it on and if you want it heated or not and them what veges you want. What i like about Hanini's is that their meats and vegetables are of much better quality than what I have typically find at Subway.What really sets Hanini's over the top is the fact that they offer so many different types of sandwiches like paninis, reubens, gyros, wraps, burgers, hot dogs, quesadillas and Polish Boys just to name a few. They also offer different salads and loaded tater tots.My families go to sandwich is always a cold corned beef sub on white bread. They are HUGE and come packed with a couple big handfuls of meat. We all get our own sandwiches as we are not about to share with each other. The sandwich is definitely big enough to have half for lunch the next day. The corned beef is very tender and melts in your mouth. Cleveland is known for great corned beef sandwiches with places like Slyman's so I'm thankful to get a taste of Cleveland here in Pittsburgh thanks to Hanini's Market."

Lampert's Fine Meats and Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (23)

"Drove by this more then a few times. Decided on a day off to stop by. Place was pretty busy but it was lunch time. They have the deli and you can order food to eat. I got the hot capicola sandwich which was really good. Also picked up a fish taco while I was there. Looked over the meat area and picked up a few things. They wrap it up and take it to the front. I found that kinda easy to work with since well I did more shopping. The meat was really fresh and flavorful. Smaller selection but I was happy with what I got. Not the cheapest place to buy from. I'd say maybe a little over priced but still better then getting from a grocery. The hot food prices were pretty reasonable overall. For what I got I felt I received a really good value for what it was and flavor. 4 stars just because it's a little costly to some places but well there aren't many places like this that are good left."

Nova Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16) • $

"You know this place. It doesn't matter if you've been here before or not, as soon as you walk through the doors of Nova Cafe in Millvale, you know where you are. It is familiar, but not too familiar, but not too not familiar. It is, in the best sense of that word, a deli.I love sandwiches. The sheer variety that comes with the word is breathtaking so, it follows, that I love delis. There is a balance to be struck with a good deli. Accessible, but not chain. Clean, but not spotless. Inexpensive but not cheap. Well lit, but not an operating theater. Lots of options, but not too many. welcoming, but not the kind of place you would spend your whole day in. This balance is extremely rare, especially with the influx of artisan eateries popping up on every corner. (Sidenote: I throw no shade at artisan eateries. Food service is a rich tapestry with room for all varietals.)Nova Cafe strikes this mythical balance. I could eat every meal from here, and not only because they have both breakfast and dinner service. The food is of fantastic quality and they hit the high notes beautifully. They don't skimp on the meat when you order a sandwich. There is no filler. Each sandwich comes with a pickle spear and a bag of chips. I like to pair the whole deal with a small container of pasta salad, you know, the kind that's red for some reason and has both olives AND cucumbers in it? I told you, you knew this place.On my first visit, I tried out their Chicken Tortilini soup. Despite it being swelteringly hot that day, the soup was a wonderful decision. I also went with the club sandwich and the aformentioned reddish pasta salad, assuming these items were a baseline for whatever else they had to offer.I returned the next day.The staff is friendly, the service remarkably fast and the food, as mentioned, tremendous. Nova Cafe is there in Millvale, just waiting for your return."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (21)

"This was my first visit to Jersey Mike's Subs, and I have to say the whole ordering process was a bit unclear. When an employee asked what we wanted, I told him it was my first time at Jersey Mike's, but he didn't take it as his cue to explain anything to me. I ended up ordering a Philly sub, but also wanted to add cold toppings. He told me that I was supposed to tell him at the beginning, which again, I would have no way of knowing. I ended up getting my sub the way I wanted, and it was pretty delicious; the "Regular" size was definitely filling! The subs were a bit pricey... it was about $9 for a regular sub, and I believe around $15 for a giant size. Ultimately, my boyfriend and I both enjoyed our subs, but we thought the customer service could use some improvement."
