    Great Experience!! The smells were delightful. My daughter and were on the strip and wanted to buy some spices. I was amazed at the variety. I have used the jalapeño pepper spice several times. I bought bay leaves, minced onion, dill weed, pumpkin spice, and vanilla sugar. The last two are great in coffee. The Prices were reasonable. Staff were helpful and friendly. I liked the multiple spice gift packs!! Parking is off site on the street or in a parking garage.

    I discovered, thanks to my daughter, a really nice spice shop in Pittsburgh. I knew I was going to like it when my foodie nose went into high gear because this store simply smells really amazing. I don't know how I hadn't found a cool spice like this since there's a lot of them out, including here in Alabama. Matter of fact as of 2012 they had 67 retail locations in 29 states. However in 2020 Penzeys announced closures, due to the COVID , and by June 2021, the number of had contracted to 53. The Penzey family opened a business, The Spice House, in Milwaukee, WS in 1957 and their son Bill started a spice catalog biz in 1986 that grew into a retail outlet by 1994. Today you can also order from them online, or on Amazon as well but the store is a fun experience. Then one I shopped at is a cool space with everything from oregano to saffron with house blended specialty spices and blends and also individual spices not available in a lot of grocery store including a nice selection of sodium free spice blends as well. You can even buy bulk bags of their premium spices that can cost less than you might pay for lower quality spices at the grocery store, so also cool. Some of my purchases were Sunny Paris and Filet Gumbo and several others, so far they're all top notch and met my expectations. But, okay big BUT, I can't ignore what I consider a really dumb business practice that I caught on their website. I was trying to resist but I cannot possibly finish the review without mentioning something truly unique, in my experience, to this business. On their website "Bill" dedicates a full page with an unhinged diatribe about Republicans. Seriously it's right here and it's nuts: https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/ "Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we're done pretending the Republican Party's embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I'm sad to say you might be happier elsewhere." And if that's not enough, in Jan 2022, CEO Bill Penzey sent out an email newsletter announcing that he would be renaming the extended Martin Luther King Jr. Day sale weekend to "Republicans are racist weekend". Seriously?! Okay, I fully support and will defend individual freedom of speech, and everyone's entitled to their opinions, however I believe that any business that disparages any person, or group of people for political, religious, ethnic, or sexual reasons is just plain stupid. Bottom line: This spice shop is a great place to shop for great spices, just don't wear your MAGA hat LOL But here's my unsolicited opinion, which I am also entitled to, Bill you're a certified nitwit. (But I'd still shop here :-)

    You want a spice, they got it. Along with some blends. Try their Chili spices.

    I can't remember the first time I bought products from Steel City Salt, but it goes back a good…read morefive years or more and I can't imagine my kitchen without them. I also frequently give them as gifts because I am so passionate about the difference these seasonings make in food, which is what inspires this review. Last year I sent a package as a gift and that friend has become a regular mail order customer. This year, for my sister-in-law's birthday, I recalled her saying how she has enjoyed several varieties at my house and hoped to get to the shop sometime when she was in town from Morgantown. So I sent her a box, and over the past few days she has been so enthusiastic I am getting constant reports on everything she is using the seasonings on. Dill Pickle salt on fries. Bagel on Grant seasoning (which is the best bagel seasoning you have ever tried, I promise you) on avocado toast, at my recommendation. She was trying them straight out of the jar the first evening she received them. They are honestly that good. I love the Black and Gold blend on corn or eggs, and during a time I was dropping a lot of weight a few years ago the Steeltown Garlic and Herb was my go-to, as it still is, when roasting trays of potatoes, veggies and tofu for meal prep. An unsung hero in the line is the relatively new Unsalted Shallot and Chive, which is a great addition to so many things and a nice option if you are trying to watch your salt intake. Customer service is super quick and helpful, if you are ordering online the orders arrive in a blink, but if you have a chance to stop out at the shop definitely do. Millvale is a great part of town and the shop is fun to browse.

On our recent Food Tour of the Strip District, our first stop was at Parma Sausage Products. We tried the Lon Zetta, Rustico, and Hot Sopressata. You could taste the subtle flavorings and the meat was such a smooth bite! Hearing the history of this family owned business was the best - with photos across the walls celebrating the rich traditions! The meats are still made on site with the small quality and heritage of the past generations! The current owner was happy to share his stories and ready to answer any questions we had. We all walked out with additional purchases to level up our charcuteries and sandwiches. I purchased the Bourbon Salami for $8. The prices are ridiculously good - especially because you are buying it right from the source! Make sure to stop in to Parma during your next visit to the Strip District!

The menu lists many types of sausage: hot Italian, mild Italian, spicy Sicilian, garlic, breakfast, meatball, chorizo, bangers, veal, chipotle cheddar, linguica, Greek, kolbassi, and andouille. Other menu items include salamis, capicollo, prosciutto, hams, pancetta, and much more. I purchased one Polish kolbassi. It was a large size, so it was enough for my husband and me for two meals. This kolbassi had a decent price and tasted pretty good.
