What an idiot, it's worthless now, he's been closed for months and months now he's asking for money so he can re-open.

Visiting Pittsburgh from Chicago. Mother lives a little east on the river and we were searching for…read morea new Italian deli to grab some sandwiches. We came across Patsy's and after reading the reviews on Yelp we were sold. When we arrived the owner met us at the back of the store in the deli section and proudly reviewed the menu with us and discussed our tastes. We wanted to measure Pittsburgh against the delis we've visited in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco so we decided on the Italian Hoagie as a familiar item. Patsy's OVER DELIVERED! The owner gave us his reasoning for each ingredient and why he uses the vendors he does while making the sandwich. It was fun to learn the history of where everything came from and why he sourced those particular items. When we arrived home and opened up the wrapping the bread and ingredients smelled just as fresh as the deli itself. The meats were fresh and each had a distinct flavor, the vegetables were crisp, and the bread was everything you hope for from an Italian deli. If we lived in the area Patsy's would be a regular stop for us! Thank you so much for your kindness!

Stopped into Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville expecting just to grab some meat for the week, and ended…read moreup walking out with lunch too because everything looked too good to pass up! It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

Who knew you could get things like camel, emu, kangaroo, ostrich, python and many other exotic meats right here in Pittsburgh! They even have them in a variety of options like steaks, patties and ground. They also have a nice selection of jerkeys. I have yet to try any of the more unusual meats, but I've purchased beef and chicken products from them. The quality was high and the items were very tasty when prepared. Service was wonderful. We were greeted promptly even though their was a line and the staff moved efficiently while still taking the time each customer needed. Prices are higher than you would pay at a store like Giant Eagle, but the slightly higher prices are absolutely worth it.

A ton of selection here, overwhelming even! Wasn't too busy on a weekday afternoon, and the line…read moremoved pretty fast. I came in for jerky as a friend recommended, and the staff helped me choose some popular options. Apparently the hot one is the coffee beef jerky. I also grabbed some pepper buffalo, and pepper teriyaki beef. Flavor-wise, this stuff is packed with it, so thumbs up there. This is probably personal preference, but my gripe is that the thinner pieces are so tough it takes forever to chew. It's fatiguing! I guess I'm used to thicker, softer jerky. One other knock is that this place smelled...bad inside. Seems like product quality is fine since it's so popular and well-regarded, but I'd recommend addressing the smell. Maybe that's just what happens after decades or storing and selling meat in an enclosed space?

I can't even make this up, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly rude and…read moredismissive. The employee helping us was not helpful at all and seemed annoyed by every question we asked. I was asking about different cuts of meat, and instead of explaining them, he made faces as if I should already know the answers. You're a butcher, helping customers understand the products is literally part of the job. When I asked about ribs and how many I wanted, his response was, "Well, that's going to be $300," delivered with a sarcastic attitude that made us feel unwelcome. Throughout the entire interaction, it felt like we were inconveniencing the staff simply by asking questions. Customer service was extremely disappointing, and the rude treatment completely ruined what should have been a straightforward shopping experience. I won't be returning and would not recommend this business to anyone expecting basic courtesy and professionalism.

It took her no longer than 30 seconds to get all of my groceries in my car- WAY quicker than I could have done!

That was fine; I don't live too far from there. On the day of pickup I was texted by Mary Ann, who identified herself as my 'personal shopper'. She contacted me a few times thereafter to verify items, suggest alternatives when needed, and to make sure I had no issue with filet mignon steaks larger than normal (Larger filets? Bring it!). She also offered the opportunity to add items I might have not thought of earlier. My daughter had to pick up for me as I was in post-covid recovery (hence my online order). That was no issue, and she informed me the pickup process was seamless. The products I got, including produce, were perfect. The bill was actually less than originally totalled, surprisingly. I guess those filets were on sale? LOL Well done, Mary Ann and Verona Giant Eagle. Thank you for getting it right!
