Folks have raved about the fries, but I felt like chips. Homemade, hot out of the fryer! Wow! How cool is that. I had a special hoagie with turkey, pepperoni, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato and a spicy siracha mayo. The hoagie roll was fresh and delicious as was the entire sandwich. I also had a hard time finding the place. Follow the signs to Building 4, which is above Quest Diagnostics. The Post Office is right next door in the same building. read more

This place is super close to me and since I'm working from home I decided to try it for lunch. We got the half size of the italian sub and the buffalo chicken wrap and made both of them a combo with fries and a drink for about $3 more. The food was hot and delicious! There were quite a few people there for lunch today which was nice to see. I will definitely be returning. read more

This place surprises me every time with how good it is. The menu is a perfect mix of a classic bar menu and some variety. The chicken is always good quality. read more

Came in, sat for ten minutes without being acknowledged or given a menu, decided to just order a pizza instead.

My brother and I stopped in for takeout and couldn't be more impressed with our lunches. He had the pesto chicken and said it was one of the best pesto chicken sandwiches he has ever had. I had the veggie sandwich and it was equally as good. I will certainly be back soon. read more

Perfect for a little getaway for lunch. It is located in the parkway center aera in greentree perfect for the offices around it. They have decent amount of options to pick from to satisfy everyone. Prices are a little high if you do add ons but overall price, and food quality match. The staff is always friendly and super nice! Would recommend if you are looking for a fast lunch spot in the Greentree area. read more

The Alcove - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm not one to leave poor reviews, however after trying to get a hold of the restaurant for MONTHS and not being able to get through, I felt a review was needed. My boyfriend and I came in to enjoy a night out with a friend on karaoke night. It was our first time in, and everything was great; until it wasn't. The bartender said she was shutting the place down early (mind you, at LEAST an hour early) since the following day was a holiday. Fine, I understand you want to go home, this however was our only night off to come out and celebrate as my boyfriend and friend had to work the holiday. My burger and his panini were good until we awoke at 2am with food poisoning so bad that we should have gone to the ER. Trouble was, we couldn't hold ourselves together long enough to get there. I called for MONTHS trying to get through to ANYONE regarding our issue but the phone only kept ringing with no answer. I've never experienced a food poising so bad in my life. I'm sad this was our first experience and I understand things happen; I'm always willing to give second chances, but after an experience like this, I just don't know that I could. read more

The Alcove is my favorite lunch spot! I come here a few times a month & never disappointed! The staff is super friendly and always nice! Fast service and always great! You have to make it a meal because the fries are amazing & if you are a green tea lover like me - they have 4 cold tea options! Highly recommend! read more

It took me a while to find the location of this place but with some help I made it. It is part of the Parkway West complex of buildings just above where the former mall sat. The Alcove is located in building number 6 which also houses the main lab of Quest diagnostics. It sits just to the right of the Post Office. Upon entering I was warmly greeted and given a menu which I would assume would be available for take out. With a Yelp check in you are entitled to a free cookie-chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin. He told me that their soup of the day was tomato which he said was excellent. I opted for one of their daily specials - chicken DeVinci on a hoagie roll. It comes with cheese, mushrooms, peppers and a tangy sauce. Since the sauce was a little to hot for me they substituted a marinara sauce in its place. He then told me that if I wanted to make it a combo I would get a fountain drink and a choice of either French fries or potato chips for just $2.00 more! I was amazed at the fact that most of their selections are under $10.00 just to start with! He also told me that breakfast items were available all day if I so chose. After placing my order he gave me my chocolate chip cookie and took my name so they would bring it out to me. This place is small but it fills up fast over the lunch hour. I got my sandwich and fries in about 10 minutes and believe me it was so good, I was blown away! The fries were also delicious and even though I knew this was a probably a standard cookie I was amazed at how fresh it tasted! Basically all you have at your table are napkin dispensers. You get your condiments and utensils over at the fountain area. There is a separate area if you wish to purchase coffee. Among their offerings are various salads, hamburgers, hoagies, paninis, and wraps. They have a listing for snacks and sides which include queso fritters, white cheddar macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, hot dog or a cup of soup. I can't wait to return and try something else on the menu. Good food, great service, and very reasonable prices. A definite must! read more

Jo Jo is fantastic! Great service and the best food I ever had for a very good price. You need to try it and please give Jo Jo a good tip! He deserves it! read more

This is a great little lunch spot near where I live. I don't work in Parkway Center but I live nearby and work from home, so on my "treat yo self" days I will order lunch from here. The thing about The Alcove is that pretty much everything on the menu sounds good. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Turkey Caesar Wrap, Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap, Turkey Club Wrap, and Chicken Pesto Panini. AND YOU GUYS. The fries are life changing. I'm not sure what's happening there but they're SO good. When you see it, you think, oh. This is probably the standard little cafe/deli in every office building. But it's so much better than that! Their food is cafe/deli food kicked up about a hundred notches, so much so that I go out of my way to visit. I really recommend if you're ever in the area! read more

We went for karaoke on a Friday night. We had so much funny. The food was really good and our party of 5 were very happy with the service. Low key and the music wasn't so loud that we couldn't have conversation amongst ourselves. Check it out. read more

My office is located within walking distance of this gem. I end up coming back to my office raving about the delicious lunch I just ate. Today was no exception. I ordered the oriental chicken salad on special, and it was delicious: Mixed greens with super fresh veggies, and the crispiest, most amazing wonton strips I've ever had. The dressing was perfection, sweet and creamy. I definitely envied the fries I saw coming out on other plates, but I went for a healthier lunch today. read more

This discreet lunch place is phenomenal...you won't drive by and see it, but you should make it a point to stop by! Highly recommend the Reuben or Buffalo chicken wrap paired with the Cajun fries, but I've not heard of a bad meal here. Keep it up! read more

Great food!! All their sandwiches are amazing. The only thing is that is closes at 3pm. So it's only a lunch place but what a great lunch it is. Love this place read more

Judy was more than amazing! So beyond friendly. She made us feel so welcome, and even sung a little to and from the table!! Definitely will be back, and will always stop in just to say hi from now on. The food was sooo good. Recommend the animal fries!! Again thank you judy for making my year, truly such a sweet soul! read more

Food is amazing I went here a bunch but also had some issues. It's not super clear when they are and aren't open for food service. I've come in when they say they are open like mid day but the kitchen was closed and they were only serving drinks. A couple other times when they should have been open they just weren't. I took to calling to see if they were open or not and 1/8 days I tried calling they picked up the phone so just wish they would be clear kitchen operating hours up and maybe set up a website because as far as I can tell they don't have one. read more

Small, out of the way place with excellent fresh food and great service. We are not from the area and it took us a minute to figure out that they are in a corporate center. Well worth finding! read more

Yelp says good for kids. The staff said they have no high chairs. Maybe fix that. Or get some high chairs. read more

Placed a takeout order on Grub Hub. An item that I ordered was not delivered. I had to go to the store to pick up the order. When I arrived I was a bit irritated. I asked for my grub hub fee and tip back. The owner said there was nothing he could do he would need to call grub hub. When I left he said I was a miserable fucking asshole and have a nice miserable fucking life. Place is all class! read more

They don't deliver till after 1:30 so this is a no go for me my lunch time is over. Why would you deliver so late when most people go on lunch at 12. I work close but not close enough to leave my building and pic up. I know they do grub hub but you pay an additional fee for this so it just doesn't make senses to start delivering so late when your suppose to be a lunch place so you deserve the one star sorry read more

Truly need to order from here more often. It's never disappointing. It's really not just the quality food, menu choices, value for the dollar, and all the obviousness that makes this place worth repeat visits, it's the consistent super service! I've called in small orders and complicated long orders. They are so accommodating and patient and never miss a beat. read more

I was in the area for work and heard good things. Service was pleasant and quick. Food was good. Simple! With the number of employees in the area I am sure there is a rush during lunch or morning. read more

This place is snuck into a plaza in Greentree, but is worth the time to seek it out, if your in the mood for a good sandwich, burger, or especially a panini, this is your spot. Give it a shot when your in the area. read more

Great wraps and house fries! Very friendly staff and we got a free cookie for checking in on Yelp!

My goodness! A break from the fast food joints in the area. A little pricier than an extra value meal but great quality! The sandwiches are delicious, freshly made and come out fast. The chips and fries are house-made, which makes them tastier! The menu is consistent and they have unique house specials every day. I've tried a couple different things (specials and regular menu) and have not been disappointed. read more

Great deli with plenty of option. Highly recommend the Cordon Bleu and the Reuben. Super nice ppl. Kind of hard to find. In Building #4 right next to the bank. read more

Delicious, scratch made food. Veggie hoagie - yum! Housemade chips served still warm. Staff friendly, very helpful. Is located in kinda odd location when looking for it/ but is a goldmine within parkway center office complex . Make any sandwich-wrap-hoagie a combo 2.00 more- gets you beverage (free refills ) and those tasty chips or fries. Upgrade to the Poutine! read more

Food was great and service was friendly! Highly recommend the Buffalo chicken wrap. Family had a great experience. Thanks!

I have been taking a class in a nearby location for the past two weeks. I've eaten lunch at the Alcove every day since the class began. I really can't say enough about how great this little gem is. Everything is made with fresh, quality ingredients, but on top of the food being way above average for a small cafe, the staff is just unbelievable. They referred to me by my first name after my first purchase every day. That's just amazing and refreshing beyond measure! I highly recommend everything that I tried, listed below. The Cajun blackened salmon salad-so awesome. Chicken pot pie soup-as good as it sounds. Reuben with fries-like no other I've ever tasted. Pizza panini- totally hit the spot. Chef Salad-protein packed, guilt free salad with green leafy lettuce. Chicken salad with cranberries served with pita and cucumber slices-life changing. My only hope is that these folks consider opening up a second shop in my neighborhood, they are that good. read more

Just found out this place was here. Had the poutine on my first trip . A little risky, but well played. Tasty and right amount of gravy and cheese. Looking forward to trying a Rachel. Everyone's food looks great. read more

Other than the birth of my child, I can honestly say that finding the Alcove is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I travelled to Pittsburgh for a few weeks and was working in Greentree. My life changed forever the first time I stepped foot in the corporate office park building. I never knew that sandwiches could be so delicious and fries so crispy. I ate there for 12 straight days. Normally eating greasy diner food at such a pace would leave me feeling sluggish and my blood sludgy, but the Alcove is the exception to this rule. I felt stronger than I ever have. I swear I could have lifted a car after eating the Chicken Parm Toasted Hoagie. The Lord Stanley gave me a sense of peace usually reserved for Buddhist monks. I literally cried tears of joy as I devoured the Honey Mustard Chicken wrap. The only downside is I had to eventually move on from my two week training and away from the Pittsburgh area. Everyday is a struggle with some days being harder than others, but I think I'm going to make it. In some ways it's a relief knowing that my life peaked on a rainy Wednesday afternoon; I know it'll never get better than having Red Hot Chili Peppers blasted into my ear drums as I enjoy a perfectly constructed Patty Melt. But everyday at lunch I get a craving that I know nothing can fully satisfy. I'm lucky to have had the Alcove fill my stomach, but without it I know nothing will ever truly fill the empty space it left. read more

Went back and had their buffalo chicken wrap and fresh chips. I'd suggest adding some more hot sauce but the wrap was big and filling. Chips were just as good as the fries. read more

I brought a client here for a quick lunch and I was very pleasantly surprised! I was confused about the location because I work right down the road but never knew this was here. There's seating in the place for about 25-30 people, but It seemed like most people get takeout. I ordered the chicken pesto panini and It was delicious! The basil pesto mayo they use is incredible, and the sandwich was very well constructed. I also got a side of slaw (It was the creamy kind) and it was some of the best slaw I've had in Pittsburgh. This is my new favorite local lunch spot. I'll be back for sure. read more

Best veggie hoagie I've ever had! Way better than going to subway and getting something bland and run of the mill :)
