    Perhaps the best sandwich I've eaten in Pittsburgh! Make your way to Peppi's and bring cash. A fairly simple menu with sandwich options for everyone. I had the cheesesteak and it was delicious with peppers, onions, steak, cheese, lettuce and tomato - the bread is excellent, too! They have indoor and outdoor seating so be sure to ask for directions to the back patio. Don't let the line deter you, it's worth the wait!

    cash only reliable staple I have to give it to this place! Reliable, affordable, with warm and fast service. The sub itself was quite simple. My friend and I agreed it could use seasoning, but with some heavy addition of malt vinegar I thought it was a quick remedy. I would recommend giving this place a try for a tasty bite and wonderful service. I personally find that a lot of subs are even better as leftovers, which was definitely the case here!

    Peppi's is such a nostalgic place and rarely disappoints! Stepping straight into 1985 pittsburgh, with wooden bench seating and pics of pittsburgh and sports celebrities. Much cleaner than Primanti's!! We decided to go ahead of a pirates game since we were parking in the northside anyway. Everyone working the counter was super kind and friendly and for one of the most casual places ever, they have great service. We got the cajun fries, the big Nate and the New Yorker! Everything was hot fresh and ready fast. Remember it's CASH ONLY!!!

    Great food and even greater service. Everyone working seemed to be so happy and enjoyed being there which somehow made the sandwich taste even better? Sandwiches were huge and hearty. Spicy Cajun fries weren't too spicy but definitely had the Cajun flair going on. Highly recommend stopping in and just chatting it up at the service counter. They are a delight!

    We came here on Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and helpful in ordering. I got the Italian regular with LTO peppers and banana peppers served hot and with mayo and the oil blend. I also got the combo with the drink and fries. I don't particularly love fresh cut fries but for what they were they were good. The sub was soooooo good. I would get it again for sure. The atmosphere was very old-timey and minimal. We loved it.

    Pittsburgh staple. Delicious sandwiches. Best fries in town with the cheese. Friendly staff. Good environment. Nothing says Pittsburgh more than this restaurant. Will leave you stuffed leaving the establishment. If you are going remember cash only.

    Nice to actually go to where the sandwiches is has before are made fresh. All our sandwiches were delicious and the fries and chicken fingers a friend ordered were also good. Service was friendly. It was very hot, but not unbearable. The atmosphere is super casual/cafeteria. They also only accepted cash, which was very strange.

    Have to do Peppi's if you're ever in Pittsburgh. Food is insanely delicious in a prototypical Pittsburgh setting.

    Wow! What a great sandwich!…read more My wife and I visited Pittsburgh for the first time on July 30th, 2026. This is gonna sound crazy, but we stopped in for a sandwich at 9:00 a.m.!!! They've been around since 1933 and when you walk in you can feel the history. The walls are covered with painted caricatures of famous locals. This place is an institution. My wife and I sat at the counter and ordered a roast beef sandwich. All sandwiches come topped with tomatoes, coleslaw, and french fries. Yes, you read that correctly, they pile fresh cut fries onto all their sandwiches! The sandwich was massive and delicious! We are so happy we sought this place out and you will be too! Seek it out!

    Sigh, man this place was underwhelming. It's famous, it has a name, it has a reputation. But that…read moreseems to far outpace the quality of the food and service. One employee was VERY nice to my father who has mobility issues and let him sit inside in a chair while we stood in the line to get in, which did move relatively quick. I think 20 people ahead of us, and we were at a table in under 15 min. 5 of us ordered 5 different things, and only one person had an actually 'good' meal. That is not a high % of quality food. The rest were super bland and off the mark flavor wise. Our waitress was also nowhere to be found half the time, we often needed drink refills and she only came over to take our order and that was really it. We had to ask another employee for water and napkins. I just don't 'get' it. The hype is not worth it.

    Hey friends! I wanted something with a Pittsburgh stamp on it before I headed home. A Yelp search…read moreled me here to this eclectic spot with delicious food. Pittsburgh Sandwich Society runs a kitchen out of Strange Roots Experiential Ale which is a small locally-owned distillery. Once you enter, you'll scan a QR code to order online. Don't waste time like me waiting for a server lol. I ordered the In-An-Aht burger which features spring mix, their society sauce, American cheese and tomato. The burger was SO GOOD. All the ingredients had the perfect portions and came together beautifully. It was a perfect medium-well cook. The fries are hand cut and delicious. My only distaste was that fries were veryyyyy salty. +Customer service was amazing! +Limited Free Parking out front and in a nearby alley. +Plenty of tables for dine-in +Free boardgames to play +Beautiful patio with plenty seating I'm excited to return for the patio in the summer when I return to PA. I hope you enjoy!

    Been a while since I've been to Pittsburgh sandwich Society due to me moving. Ive always enjoyed…read moretheir burgers and chicken sandwiches. However I had to come down for the fish sandwich. They don't open until 4, but you can place orders online hours before then. Picked up food around 4:20. By time we got home, the fish maintained its crispness. I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.
