Chicken Latino, a restaurant I’ve mentioned earlier on this blog, is one of the best places to find authentic Latin American food. Known for their Peruvian cuisine, literally anything and everything you order… Read More
Point Brugge’s “Cafe Chicken”
In one of my earlier posts, I referenced a theoretical “Favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh” list that, if obligatory, would be a difficult list to compose. I included the venerable Chicken Latino, and now… Read More
Pizza Bellino’s “Supreme Pesto Chicken Hoagie”
Everybody has a restaurant that they wish they could rename to more accurately reflect what they personally get out of the establishment, and I’ve found mine: it’s a great little do-everything hole in… Read More
Burgh’s “Curtiss”
My uncle has always had a soft spot for this place called Burgh’s Pizza & Wing Pub over in Bridgeville, so I thought a lunch trip out to the great Burgh’s would be… Read More
Piccolo Forno’s “Focaccina Cruda”
Preface to this post: I’d like to apologize for the nearly month-long gap between PittWich posts! That little thing called life caught up with me; being a senior in high school carries baggage… Read More
Carson Street Deli’s “Donnie Brasco”
A while back I hit up the Carson Street Deli for their “Cheesy Beefy”, a delicious sandwich that takes the concept of a cheesesteak-style ‘wich to an entirely new place. Needless to say,… Read More
Union Grill’s “Crabcake Sandwich”
While this blog may be called PittWich, I was actually born in Baltimore, so naturally I’ve got a soft spot for all things crab: crab imprerial, soft shell crab, crab legs… and crab… Read More
Vento’s “Italian Army”
The legendary Vento’s Pizza over in East Liberty has a highly storied background. The small, family-run Italian eatery was nearly closed down due to corporate construction some years back; thankfully, the Ventos and… Read More
Uncle Sam’s “Buffalo Chicken Sub”
One of my favorite foodstuffs in the entire world is the chicken wing, specifically the buffalo wing. Hot sauce and chicken? A genius combination: the fuel of bars, tailgates and Super Bowl parties… Read More
NOLA (on the square)’s “Shrimp Po’ Boy”

The Pretzel Shop’s “Hot Sausage Pretzel Sandwich”
Well, I’m back from that beautiful place called Camp Kon-O-Kwee. It really is a shame; Deer Valley is easily one of my five favorite places on Earth. Luckily for you, though, so is… Read More
EW: Percy Street Barbecue’s “Chopped Brisket Sandwich”
Remember how I said I really really like brisket? Yeah, that wasn’t an exaggeration: I LOVE the stuff. Any time I hit up a barbecue restaurant, I always sample their brisket sandwich. So… Read More
EW: Beck’s Cajun Cafe’s “Trainwreck Po’ Boy”
If you hadn’t noticed from every one of my previous posts, I’m not exactly a vegetarian. In fact, I’m nearly a meat-atarian. I have nothing against vegetarians… I just like my sandwiches to… Read More
EW: Uncle Bill’s Pancake House’s “Taylor Pork Roll Sandwich”
On the third installment of EastWich, we’re going to tackle a part of Pennsylvania cuisine that is unfortunately only available in the eastern half of the state. It’s called a pork roll, but… Read More
EW: Cabanas’ “Shrimp Cutlet”

EW: Chef Alan’s “Grinder Panini”
And thus begins our venture eastward. My father grew up in a little suburban Philadelphia neighborhood called Wyomissing. It’s pretty homey area, a very warm community feel, and there’s a restaurant that my… Read More
Szmidt’s Old World Deli’s “Joe”
Sometimes you find a place and you think, “These people are really doing it the right way.” That’s the way I felt when I walked into Szmidt’s Old World Deli the other day… Read More
Carson Street Deli’s “Cheesy Beefy”
There are some sandwiches that I run into that don’t necessarily wow me with their complexity or knock my socks off with their original combinations: they simply taste good. I encountered one of… Read More
Buffalo Blues’ “Gobbler Impersonation Club”
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “everything except the kitchen sink.” People often overuse the phrase, but recently I found a sandwich that seemed made for it: the “Gobbler Impersonation Club” at Buffalo… Read More
Gullifty’s “Pulled Pork Sandwich”
In case you haven’t gathered, I’m a sucker for good barbecue. And not just brisket; pulled pork is where my fascination with the southern stuff began. In Baltimore, where I was born, there… Read More
Cafe on the Strip’s “Italian Turkey Specialty Sandwich”
I was recently perusing Pittsburgh’s Strip District, the melting pot neighborhood of Pittsburgh cuisine, wondering where to go for lunch. As usual, I had a hankering for a good sandwich, but Primanti Bros.… Read More
