Nova Cafe

Their hours are listed incorrectly on this app. They are not open on Saturdays, which was super frustrating because I tried to grab some food on a Saturday and wasn't able to.

If you want a really good Pittsburgh salad then this is the place to get it. The steak version is piled high with all the heathy stuff aka fries, cheese, etc.They have deli and specialty sandwiches as well. The triple club is really good.

Great breakfast food, great atmosphere, and great coffee options. Fast service. No negatives about Nova

Nova Cafe is a cozy little hole in the wall located in Millvale. There are seats inside for diners and during the summer they put chairs outside. If you are looking for a quick, tasty meal that doesn't break the bank, Nova is the place to go. Plenty of options on the menu and breakfast is served all day. It's even BYOB and they have different specials every day. They also have a deli counter with options like fresh cut deli meats/cheeses and various side dishes like pasta salad, coleslaw, and deviled crabs. I ordered the Steel City Burger with a side of fries and my husband got the Reuben with a side of pasta salad. The food came out really quickly despite there only being a cook and cashier who also served as our waiter. After our waiter took care of us, he chatted with another customer about a catering order filled with fried chicken, coleslaw, and pierogis. YUM! The cook even came to check on us as we were eating. This place truly has that right at home feel to it. We will definitely be back!

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.

I ordered stuffed pork chops with green bean almondine and mashed potatoes. This was the best dinner party that I had. Extremely reasonably priced, in fact, cheapThen I ordered the same meal and delivered it to my daughter, huge success!!!!Sherry

This used to be in Lawrenceville and it was a hit over there. Their food is terrific and their staff is very nice too!Love their broccoli bacon salad..

Nice food and service at this little deli. The menu is mainly sandwiches and breakfast. Mismatched plates were charming. Patio tables indoors and plastic cups were pushing it. The food took a little while to come out, but we weren't in a hurry so no big deal. The important things- the food and service- were good.

My favorite lunch in Pittsburgh always stop when working in the area never had anything bad here love everything about it

When you walk in, you can tell that this café is going to be fantastic! Makes me think about the deli I used to go to all the time when I lived outside of the city. Great service, even better food, and reasonably priced! Cozy, no frills, great food. Def. felt at home while I worked on some school work before I went to teach my class. I'll be stopping back for the potato soup that the chef was talking about! Thank you for such a fantastic experience, making me feel welcome, and a delicious meal before class!
