    Good subs, friendly staff, and easy parking. Looking forward to trying the donuts in the future.

    Bob's Sub is a casual restaurant that has several locations throughout the Pittsburgh area and has been in business since the 1970s. Their menu lists several types of submarine sandwiches, some salads, and some sides. Prices are roughly several dollars per sub and a couple of dollars per side. I sent my husband to this location to order food. He said that the employees did a good job. We ate the food at home. Here are my reviews for the foods: Totally Turkey sub - 5 stars - The bread was perfectly toasted. My ingredients were simple (I could have added more ingredients if I had wanted to do so), but I greatly enjoyed the flavor of the turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Bob's Delight sub - 3 stars - My husband ate this sub. He seemed to think that it was OK but not as good as Dibella's Subs. The ingredients were capicola, ham, and turkey. Macaroni salad - 4 stars - The noodles were cooked well, and my husband liked that not an excessive amount of mayo was included. Potato salad - 3.5 stars - The potatoes were cooked well and were cut into a good size, but I thought that a little too much mayo was included.

    Excellent value and super friendly staff. It's a convenient spot for a quick sandwich higher in quality than your standard subway. Overall quality of ingredients and options are solid, and I appreciate how you can essentially build your own large for just over $10. Dining area has a diner/yinzer vibe...super casual

    You always know you're going to get a solid sub when you go to Bob's. The portion for the senior subs is huge and awesome for the price of around $10.25. I enjoyed the spicy Italian, it was fresh and delicious. I felt it could've been a little more toasted, just my preference. And never time I would probably get a sandwich with the legendary mayo like the chicken salad. One of my friends got that and it looked phenomenal. Overall a great time, casual atmosphere and great staff.

    Not so good cheesesteak.

    I wanted to like this place as it had its own charm, and the two young guys were working hard. But alas, the subs just weren't good. I ordered a cheesesteak all the way but it was so dry I would be surprised to find out if there was any mayo or oil on it and it was supposed to have both. It was pretty packed on a Saturday afternoon and with only the two employees hustling, the tables were a bit of a mess and they were completely out of ice (not sure how that happens). We made the mistake of also trying some donuts, and they are even more fake tasting than what Dunkin offers up.

    My son and I got Bob's Subs by North Allegheny High School after watching a state playoff soccer game there. I have been to the original in Slippery Rock several times. I got the Super and my son got the Turkey. Everything was pretty good, but not nearly as good as the original.

    I love bobs subs!! My husband and I went to slippery rock and fell in love with this sandwich's there. This is always a treat for us to have. We do like to ask for light mayo because they do lay it on pretty heavily. The spicy Italian with banana peppers and light mayo is our go to. If you're looking for a quick sandwich and something new to try, I high recommend bobs!

    I ordered a Buffalo chicken sub on 2/5/22 and it's inedible. Horrible. Asked for light ranch, they didn't put any ranch on. Gave me way too much dry shredded chicken that was definitely Not made today. Tasted more like spicy taco meat dog Food chicken meat. Waste of 9 dollars. Not coming back.

    Ever since moving to Pittsburgh I've been told to check out Bob's Sub downtown but haven't gotten around to it. When I saw one went in near me in North Hills I had to go! It is in the same space as Delicious Donuts (which I'll also have to try). I stopped one evening to grab a sandwich to go and settled on a Senior size Spicy Italian and Potato Salad Combo Bob's way which includes mayo and in-house Italian dressing. The sub was huge for the $7.95 price tag and all the meats, cheeses and veggies tasted great and fresh! I really liked the dressing which brought it all together. The Potato Salad was also very good and a decent portion size. Think your standard "Grandma Style" Potato Salad. There ordering system is pretty neat and I've seen it done before at another sub shop in Akron whose name escapes me but I digress...they give you a playing card and when your order is ready, they call it out. King of Clubs! Your order is ready! The only real draw back I saw at all was no one was at the counter when I walked in and I had to shout a little to get someone's attention. Granted it was later on a Sunday night and it was a very young staff. And when my order was called I had to remind them of my Potato Salad because they forgot in the span of 3 minutes...like I said, young staff. But it's ok Bob! Your Sub was worth it! Try for yourself!

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

It's on a dilapidated brick road that you essentially have to drive up at a crawl speed to prevent your car from rattling a part, and there's rarely parking. HOWEVER, somehow, this adds to the charm. The journey makes the reward that much better, I suppose. When you enter the pizzeria, it feels like how a pizzeria should. It's small and noisy, and the smells are overpowering. The staff is too busy for small talk. They're making dough (see what I did there?). I love it. The sauce is sweet, which isn't how I typically want a pizza sauce to taste, but it's also what makes their pizza so unique. You won't find another pizza that tastes like this. A plain cheese pizza from here is worth its weight in gold. I cannot recommend them enough.

We were told there would be a wait, but our pizza was ready right when they said it would be. The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was a little tricky because of the location, but it was definitely worth it! The standout feature of this pizza for me was the flavor of the cheese (especially when paired with onions) that combination was easily my favorite part. They use a very generous, thick layer of cheese, which creates a rich and indulgent pizza. The cheese is quite oily and can slide off the crust, so personally the amount of cheese and oil was a little heavier than my usual preference. However, the chewy crust holds up well to the toppings, and there was still something really addictive about the overall flavor and texture of that cheese. One thing that surprised me was how good it was the next day when eaten cold. I actually prefer this pizza cold. The cheese and onions complemented each other even more, and the pizza felt a little less oily while allowing the flavors to shine even more. Overall, this is definitely a top-tier pizza place in the area. If you enjoy a flavorful, cheesy pizza with a great chewy crust, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try!

It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.
