South Side · $ · No. 76 of 157 overall
A proper deli hiding behind one of the best bottle shops on Carson. Sandwiches are stacked stupidly high and you can drink something obscure while you wait.
Order: A pastrami sandwich and a rare can

North Side · $ · No. 80 of 157 overall
A sandwich shop that named its best seller after a quarterback and never looked back. Enormous, greasy, exactly right after a game or before a shift.
Order: The Roethlisburger

Strip District · $$ · No. 81 of 157 overall
Try it once for the history, not the food. The fries-and-slaw-inside is a novelty that's more fun to have done than to eat. Iconic, sure. Great, no.
Order: The Almost-Famous sandwich (fries & slaw inside)
- 4
Millvale · $ · No. 115 of 157 overall
Millvale sandwich counter with a rotating board and a genuine point of view about bread. Small operation, big ambitions between two slices.
Order: Whatever the special sandwich is

Squirrel Hill · $ · No. 148 of 157 overall
Cheap, fast, enormous subs, made without a single concession to fashion. Feeds Pitt students and cab drivers at the same counter.
Order: A steak sub with everything
