    Fish panini
    Anatoli L.

    A professional restaurant critic would probably stay at 4 stars at the most, but as I'm not the one, and I'm simply rating the experience, I'm happy with my rating. We stopped by for an early lunch. The menu is substantial, offering lots of options (no meat in any of the dishes, fish is the only type of "meat" available). I took a fish panini, and it was actually humongous. It can be easily shared between two people for a highly satisfying lunch. But overall, very tasty dish - crispy fish, crunchy bread - excellent. I also got spicy French fries, and again, they were delicious, crispy and well seasoned. Excellent lunch all in all. Good friendly service. Recommended.

    Took my daughter and future son in law to Milky Way for lunch as they are both Kosher. I have to say i am not a big fan of kosher restaurants at all. I find that the food is overpriced and not as good as a regular restaurant in general. You go into restaurant and order at counter then they call you to pick up food when ready. I had a tuna sandwich with french fries and a Snapple iced tea. The food was just ok nothing special at all. The food is also very over priced. There where 4 of us total and the bill was $78 for lunch???????? I would not go back to Milky Way unless I absolutely had too. Definitely not a fan of overpriced just ok food.

    Went to lunch with my hubby, niece and her friend after going to Natural History Museum in Pittsburgh. My niece keeps kosher so eating out is only at a kosher restaurant for her. The place was packed with families! I ordered a veggie pizza slice and hubby had tuna fish on their homemade bun. Pizza piece was delicious and huge! Hubby really enjoyed his tuna sandwich! He said it was very moist and tasty. I recommend this restaurant because they have a new assortment of meals to choose from! There's also a salad bar which you tell them what you want and they put it all together for you.

    How can do many people take so long to serve such mediocre food and still not find time to clean the tables in between diners? The pizza is passable, considering it is Pittsburgh's only kosher pizza joint. However, the food is mediocre overall and the service is lacking.

    This place is a somewhat small kosher restaurant. Counter service. The people are friendly and the service was fast. I had a tuna salad sandwich on a homemade bun. It was delicious

    There are very few kosher spots around Pittsburgh and Milky Way happens to be one. Kosher dairy: Cholov Yisroel Pizzas, sandwiches/wraps, pasta, salads, soups, assorted fried items, pretzels etc. it's a pretty large menu with lots and lots of options. I always just come in for takeout, never stayed there. Always greeted with a friendly smile. Slice of cheese pizza $2.50 not any more expensive then other pizza joints. Pizza is pretty good, it's no NY pizza but it is the closest one I've had in Pittsburgh to it. Big salad bar. That's for sure my favorite part. $9.50 per salad. 30 or so different toppings and lots of dressings to pick from. You can pick as many and as much toppings as you want for your tossed salad. I load mine up with hearts of palm, olives, broccoli, tomatoes, crispy onions, chickpeas, and cucumbers. Big satisfying tasty salad. Spicy French fries delicious and crispy. Soups always rotate. My fav is the French onion. I mean overall I like the place. I don't think it's that expensive at all and they give big portions!

    Cheddar ranch pizza, family size cheese fries leftovers after my family devoured.

    I got a Chicken Parmesan Roll (5/5), Garlic Pretzel (3/5), Tomato Basil Pretzel (4/5), and six…read morenormal pretzels (3/5). The Parmesan roll was great and a good amount of food, especially for just $4. However, the pretzels themselves were pretty disappointing but ok; I couldn't tell the difference between them and microwave pretzels (e.g., super pretzel from when I was a kid). The tomato basil pretzel was a big better with the toppings. Overall, I would get rolls and topped pretzels but pass on the plain or lightly seasoned ones. The service was good and quick (4/5), but they are cash only. They do have an ATM if needed. The interior has a small standing area and is reasonably nice.

    The Pretzel Shop is a Pittsburgh staple…read more My company ordered catering from them (5 large trays of pretzels/hot dog pretzels and 2 large trays of the cinnamon sugar pretzels with plenty of dips). Everything was amazing. The pretzels were all well salted, cooked, and presented. The delivery was smooth. I would definitely recommend them for catering. I then went downtown that weekend with friends to grab some other items fresh from the store. DON'T SLEEP ON THEM... no but literally.... If you come down in the afternoon, there will not be any choices. We got there at 3:30 and there were only five pretzels (not five types, but only five pretzels). They make it fresh and it sells. Only issue is that their store is not a place to eat. They only have two small counters against the front windows, and when people are entering and exiting, the door is almost a weapon to people trying to eat inside. But honestly, just get it to go and eat it at home.

    We popped in on a rainy day and got two drinks and pretzels. What a delightful little place! I got…read morethe raspberry mocha and I have no other way to describe it than graeter's berry chocolate chip ice cream. I think we came at a kind of off time of day because the pretzels were cold and kind of hard, but they still tasted good and the dips were what we expected. I'd suggest making a trip towards the beginning of the day!

    Amazing pretzels!!!…read more Super friendly and polite customer service with warm, comforting pretzels and the most amazing dips ever. In addition to being organic and vegan I also appreciate the fact that they aren't too salty like many other soft pretzels are. These pretzels also reheat well in the toaster oven which is great when you are already stuffed but want to take a pretzel to go. I especially recommend the cinnamon butter dip which has a very unique flavor. I've never had anything like it. It is reminiscent of cinnamon ice cream in texture and flavor without actually being cold or too sweet. You also don't mind using a lot of it as it is light and fluffy in mouthfeel.  They must never take the tasty cinnamon butter away!!! They also have a tasty mustard dip which is a condiment I often recommend to people as a Dietitian due to its many health benefits. As the only local pretzel place in Pittsburgh to serve both organic and vegan pretzels this is the *perfect* vendor to any local party you are having - particularly events that have the need to be vegan and/or organic as people become increasingly concerned with their health and the environment. I highly recommend contacting Connor today or ordering a pretzel from him if you see his pretzels at an event! :)
