I just paid for a sandwich with a f***ing plastic bag in it. Called to let them know and they said they'd make me a new one. This was the new one... with only 1 piece of meat, the onions appear to have been on the grill for 5 seconds or less, and clearly just a much smaller portion size. One of the worst experiences in customer service I've seen/dealt with. Only positive about this was the #7 was good. read more

A great group of guys who truly enjoy what they do. Always friendly, personable, and efficient. Great food.

First time trying a basic cheese steak and was very disappointed. If I wanted to just eat a bun, I woulda bought one at Breadworks for 1.00 instead of spending 8.50 for lightly seasoned bread. read more

Just ate at the Peppis location in the north shore. Food tastes great and the wait time wasn't long at all! We ordered the pepper cheesesteak and Italian sub - both were great options. Definitely try it out if you like old time ambiance and good food! read more

I don't know I hadn't discovered this place earlier. But I love it so much. The Mancinis bread really does bring it all together. It's so wonderful! I've ordered catering from there mostly and they do a great job and I never knew a cold cut sandwich could be so good!!! Service always great.don't forget cash only!!! read more

Visiting Pittsburgh last weekend, this is the first place I had to try. Mainly because of The 7 aka "The Roethlisburger". I may not live in Pittsburgh or anywhere near it, but being a Steelers fan, Pittsburgh is definitely a part of me. Walking in this place, you're greeted by at least 4-5 employees while you check out the big board/menu. When you're ready to order, you order, take a seat, and they bring out your food not long after. I ordered The Roethlisburger along with an order of Onion Rings. The sandwich came with american cheese, sausage/burger, and egg as the primary ingredients. I told them to put everything on it so it came with tomatoes, lettuce, and I believe a few other things. I wish we had sandwiches like this in Louisville. From the bread all the way down to the smallest ingredient... the sandwich radiated freshness. The onion rings were fresh as well. Definitely the type of onion rings that have started disappearing over the years... the kind you bite into and with the bite you sometimes pull the onion out with your bite. I could easily make this place a regular stop if I lived in the area. My only complaint & I won't take off a star is they only take cash. Luckily they have an ATM inside, but keep in mind that it's cash only. I understand why businesses do this, but if I was going to open a business... I'd take card, cash, bitcoin, whatever payment that someone wanted to give me. Since I don't live in the area, I can't become a regular, but I will make it a point to visit everytime I'm in Pittsburgh. read more

Wow , If your in Pittsburgh not to be missed, Very friendly owner and great sandwiches. I had the Heath and it was off the chart. The rest of our group had a variety of different sandwiches and all said they were great. PS They served us even though we were all decked out in Raiders gear !!!! Appreciate it guys. See you next time read more

Literally no other reason to go anywhere else for a hoagie. Other places can't even compete with Peppi's

I love the Joey Porter sandwich which is steak portables mushrooms and cheese on a fresh soft hoagie bun and it's under $10 plus you can watch them make it. Seating is alright but parking can be tricky but it's worth it If your in Pitt it's a must try read more

Good sandwiches, okay price, plenty of outdoor seating. Wife had beef/fried onions/mushroom/provolone which she liked, wanted the bread toasted, but oh well....I had the beef, peppers, fried onions, provolone which was good...cash only, ATM inside...parking on street in front. read more

Peppi's - Not as much meat as sandwiches in Philly. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Peppis .. well known sandwich shop in the burg. I just started a new job in the North Side so couldn't wait to go back to Peppis. I remember visiting the strip district location often many years ago. I stopped in and ordered a steak hoagie. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Cash only - no credit cards. There is an ATM in the restaurant just in case you don have any cash handy. I was surprised at the very little meat on my hoagie especially by the price $6.75. I might just order double meat next time. Another surprise was that there is a burger called "#7 Roethlis Burger" which I love the idea although I have never had .. but ketchup brand offered is not "Heinz" brand. I love the menu .. so many different types of sandwiches, salads etc. there is something for everyone. These were just observances.. my steak hoagie was good and satisfied with the great customer service. I just visited recently during lunch time at Noon. As soon as I got there I regretted it but soon realized "it was all good". The staff was so cool and calm and on the ball.. it was a zoo and the line was out the door. read more

I've been to Peppi's dozens of times, and I can say it's been a rare occasion that I haven't ordered the #7. Soft, delicious sub roll, spicy sausage, fresh lettuce and tomato - can't go wrong. I always load mine with a healthy dose of hot sauce as well. North side location stands out on service alone, friendly group of guys working behind the counter. read more

Better than anything Philly has to offer. Try the Big Wheeler. And get the Cajun fries.

OMG... drove through Pittsburgh recently and decided to have lunch at Peppi's and was glad we did! This place has some awesome sandwiches!! I myself ordered the New Yorkers which had steak, cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and lettuce. It seemed basic but the taste of the sandwich was phenomenal. The portion was huge and I also ordered the fries which were fresh and even though they were a little greasy they were great with the sandwich. All of my other friends ordered different sandwiches and everyone devoured their food. There was a moment of silence when we were all eating/enjoying our food so there was minimal talk at our table (lol) I am seriously considering another roadtrip to New York next year so I can drive through Pittsburgh and stop there for another sandwich!! Def recommend this sandwich icon if you are ever in Pittsburgh area. read more

If you want a great sub or cheeses steak, I came to a popular Pittsburgh eatery that is weLl worth the visit. The cheese steaks are very good and some of the best outside of Philly. Recommend this place and will be back! read more

What can I say? Simply amazing! Don't miss out on this treat when you're in the Strip District.

So unique and delicious!! Friendly workers and brought our food over to the table. Cajun fries are good and you get tons! Got the Wiz and it was so good. read more

By far my favorite location. I always order the cheesesteak and while it's not Philly it's still pretty damn good. Love the back courtyard for eating sandwich ok a nice day. Service is fast, accurate and friendly. Reasonable prices. read more

A staple in PGH- our go-to's are Mother-Clucker ( not on the legit menu, but posted in the shop), #7, and Ultra Cheese Steak! Extra onions on all! While the food never disappoints, we continue to return because of the wonderful customer service at the Strip location. Everyone there is light hearted, friendly and is a nice reminder of what customer service should be like. Note this spot is cash only and has a smaller eat-in section. read more

Saw The Rolling Stones here last night. Great concert and stopped into Peppis for a Mushroom Cheese steak before the show. The parking lot guy reccomend didn't it and he was right. Cool place cheese steak was very good I did have better in Philly and Buffalo but it was right up there as a close second. The price was fantastic like under 10 bucks. And service was super friendly people. Next time I go to Heinz field definitely stopping there again read more

The Peppi's crew is always friendly and always make you feel like they're happy to make something delicious for you! And that's what they do, make delicious food, fresh and fast! Every time I eat a Peppi's I don't know what I'm going to enjoy until last minute... and no matter what the sandwich I choose is delicious! I recommend looking over the menu, discover a new favorite every time, unless you're have a craving of course. read more

We have been looking for a premium hoagie spot since we moved her and finally not only did we find the best but the people were the friendliest!! Cant wait to go back! read more

Big disappointment. We got the cheesesteak. There was so little meat in the sandwich and it lacked flavor. The hoagie roll was very doughy and I felt like I was just eating bun. I only ate half and tossed the other half. read more

I just don't understand the good reviews. I had the Ultra Cheesesteak and it was absolutely flavorless. The beef had no flavor, the bun had no flavor, the provolone had no flavor. If there were any grilled onions at all, there were too few to be seen or tasted. The mayonnaise was the dominant flavor (and that's not a joke--one bite really did taste like eating a spoonful of mayonnaise). Oh, and the onion rings come in crazy small portions. They charged me $5 for four medium-sized rings. Seriously? They cost them maybe 10 cents apiece; they can afford to give me a real portion for $5. I have no idea whether this is authentic cheesesteak or not, but it was far and away the worst cheesesteak I've ever had. read more

First time to Peppi's. Hard to believe after all these years that I have never been to a Peppi's. Read the menu on the counter because the chalkboard is confusing; even the staff said so! You order at the counter and they delivered to your table. It did take a little longer than we expected but not to long. Enjoyed looking at all the photos while we were waiting. Ordered the Franco, an Italian with a little extra salami. Probably did not need the extra but the sub was very tasty and to large to finish, so I have lunch for today too. While not the best Italian sub/hoagie that I have had, it was very good and better than most sub shops that have popped up everywhere. The staff was super friendly and thought busy did stop by our table. If you are in the area and looking for a pretty good sub or sandwich, Peppi's is a good stop. read more

Don't yinz native Picksburghers hate me nah, but I have to admit that I didn't find Peppi's that impressive. I'm from DE, where we have Capriotti's (can you say fresh turkey and all the fixins on a bun?!?) and are near Philly (a sub mecca), so I have high standards for subs. Also, I pride myself on being an exacting--yet fair--reviewer. In light of these facts, I'm afraid that Peppi's failed to deliver the sub nirvana I was hoping for. I visited on Sat. for lunch with a friend while cycling. Our original plan was to hit up the food trucks at South Side Works, but she was tired due to some grueling rowing practices the previous couple days, so the North Shore is as far as we made it. She suggested Peppi's, and I agreed, given that I'd heard good things and that I hadn't been yet. Since I don't eat beef, I was limited to two options: the amazing Sigfried or the turkey supreme. Both were very similar, consisting of their respective meats plus grilled mushrooms and onions and LT. I opted for the turkey, probably because I'm so used to the turkey awesomeness on a bun that Capriotti's delivers. My friend ordered the roast beef, and both of us had drinks. Although my friend told me the fries were good, we decided to forego them because we thought it'd be too much. When I bit into my sub, I was underwhelmed by the amount and quality of meat, which was a thin layer of deli-style turkey slices. To me, the sub seemed to be more then 50% veggies, most of which was lettuce. I also found the bun too light for my taste, since I'm used to thick, bready buns. While the taste was decent, it didn't blow me away, and texture-wise, it wasn't super-interesting, given its composition. While you get a lot of sub for your money and it's better than Subway, if Peppi's is the best PGH has to offer sub-wise, they have a ways to go. At least Primanti's has a unique product! I know yinz'll hate me for saying this, but perhaps you should go to Philly--or even DE--for some sub-inspiration, n'at. read more

Peppi's - Turkey supreme (foreground) and cheesesteak (background) - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Peppi's 3, Pep Boys 0. Zak Morris may have been "Preppy" but this place is Peppi and that's better. A salt with a deadly Peppi. This place has some of the best subs in Western PA, especially the delicious and appropriately named Roethlisburger, my favourite! Yum! This place rocks, and it rocks the Roethlisberger. It's somewhere between 4 and 5, but they gave me free fries, and the RB is kind of addictive, so this Pitt institution gets a 5/5 read more

I survived off of Peppi's on Western Ave, for years as a student at CCAC Allegheny campus. After my morning classes had ended this was my go to lunch/dinner spot. Any college kid on tight budge can assure you that there are days when only one meal is all you can afford. Peppi's portions are huge and they don't skimp on either meats, veggies or cheese. One sub can easily be eaten for lunch with plenty leftovers that can be eaten as dinner. Typically for me I get the Cajun fries which are delicious cheap and you get a ton. They are dusted with a spicy Cajun seasoning and served with a side of house made ranch. Since transferring to college in Oakland I don't get to frequent Peppi's as much but I have nothing but fond memories. Of all the Peppi locations this is by far my favorite. read more

Easily my favorite lunch spot in the neighborhood. The subs are large and delicious. The fries are pretty good too. I cannot personally eat a whole sub and an order of fries without regretting it. So bring your appetite. The Blazin' Saddle is my go too sub. read more

Cheese Fries are a must! Also as a Steelers fan you have to try the Roethlis"burger". I don't eat burgers often but this one was awesome. I also loved the bread that it was on. My mom got a Chef Salad and it was huge. We shared it. Workers are very friendly. read more

I ordered a New Yorker for delivery today. There were no grilled onions on the sandwich. I believe that the menu says that these are part of the sandwich. These would have made the sandwich much better. Just thought I would share this with you, so that you make sure that they are included when others order it. Jeff King read more

Peppi's is a must if you're in the area. Don't forget your cash though! I live down the street so I try not to go as often as I want to because it is so good and you'll want to have lunch there every day! A great lunch spot or early afternoon quick bite. I always get the bbq chicken cheesesteak. The photo may look messy and it sure was but the taste is fabulous. Never a bad meal here. read more

Peppi's - Mmmmm so good!! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food from here can not be beat. Every sandwich i've had is amazing, and their fries are always great. The one downside is that this location is cash only so if you come without cash, make sure you hit up the ATM first! Highly recommend the Siegfried sub! read more

The cheese steaks here are amazing. I went with the phantom because i love eggs and peppers. Also paired it with the Cajun fries and a side of cheese. They offer free refills on drinks aswell. Im not one who usually goes for cheese steaks but i was fairly impressed with the quality of that sandwich. read more

Peppi's has excellent customer service and feels like a vibrant local restaurant in the City of Pittsburgh. When I went there, the food was spectacular and the fries were perfect; crispy, salty, and cooked until medium-golden brown. To describe the sandwiches, I would use the word "slopilicious" because I had a heaping-sized sandwich, and it was really messy. When I say messy, I mean it in that the sandwich was almost too big to pick up with one hand, but that was the beauty of the sandwich. Not being able to eat it in one hand but yet still having an incredible taste epitomizes the kind of restaurant Peppi's is. read more

First time experiencing Peppi's and it did not disappoint. I love the whole feel and set up of this place. After ordering our sandwiches at the counter, we took a seat in the dining room and I immediately became caught up with looking at all of the people photos lining the walls and with reading some of the various business cards patrons have placed under the wooden strips along an area inside the dining area. Perhaps I will decide to give Good Fellas Remodeling a call...or maybe not! The Phantom Steak hoagie was very enjoyable and filling. I am looking forward to another go at Peppi's! read more

Delicious subs and sandwiches. I wish I lived closer because I'd be there all the time!

A true Pittbsurgh tradition! One of the best sandwiches / hoagies in town! There are a ton of different choices and they are all good! The bread is always fresh from Mancini's Bakery, another Pittsburgh tradition! You can't go wrong when a sandwich is on Mancini's! read more

A large portion of food for a good price. I got the santucci and loved it, just enough spice & very filling!
