As I do whenever I review a sub shop, I must state that I'm from DE, and have high standards for subs. After trying a battleship sub this weekend, I can say without reservation that the subs here are the best in PGH, without a doubt. If you haven't tried one, you need to ASAP! Given that I've been wanting to try a battleship for a long while, a friend and I decided to pick one up and have a picnic in nearby Frick Park. We called in our order, and they gave us an estimate of about 45 min., which worked well given that we had other errands to run. By the time we arrived at Triangle, our battleship was ready, so we were able to cut in line, pay ($14.75), and be off to have our picnic. Unwrapping the sub, it was immediately apparent that it encompassed 26" of goodness. Since it wasn't pre-cut, I tore it in half crosswise, which gave each of us 14" to chow down on. The sub was generously filled with meats and cheeses, with a sufficient but not overwhelming amount of vegetables. The bread was substantial and of good quality, and didn't tear or crumble as we ate our portions of the sub, as lesser quality bread does. I ate half of my portion, and my friend was unable to finish his, despite intending to do so. I ate the other half for lunch the next day, and it was almost just as good as it was upon receipt. Both my friend and I were very impressed with the quality of the battleship, and it kept us full for a subsequent long-ish walk in the park. I'd highly recommend it as an ideal picnic item. Whether you live near Swissvale or not, be sure to try a battleship, since it's without a doubt the best sub in PGH! read more

Triangle Bar & Grill - Battleship hoagie--cross section - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

So many people have told me how amazing the hoagies are here and I can't believe it took me this long to finally give it a try! Triangle is not a fancy establishment but I totally appreciate that. Their specialty is hoagies and they have a number of sizes and meats. They're famous for the battleship but since we were only feeding two people, I got the torpedo and the hubby got the destroyer size of the cheese steak. The sandwiches were loaded with meat and the oil and vinegar dressing added such a nice flavor. I can definitely see why the hoagies here are famous and literally everyone I know knows about this diamond in the rough. Next time you're looking to feed a crowd, skip the sandwich ring and get a battleship or even super battleship. read more

My daughter & I stopped in on Monday evening to pick up battleships to take to a gathering. I waited in the car with our dog while she ran in. As she was leaving your bar to come back to the car your ignorant staff member behind the counter making hoagies laughed when one of your customer asked his friend if he wanted to pull a train on my kid. Since your staff thinks that type of disrespect is funny and didn't say anything to either ignoramuses I can assure you I will never be back. Also the food was awful. It's gone down hill. The deli meats were low grade - boiled ham & cooked salami. You can shove the destroy-ed battleship up your torpedo. Lastly, could it be that you refuse to get a card reader because you're avoiding the Allegheny County drink tax? read more

**** BEST SANDWICH ***** My friend's and I go out in San Francisco looking for great sandwiches and nothing compares to this place.

This place gets so much hype. The sandwiches are huge and they make a good ass Italian hoagie. Workers are friendly and fast. Entire bar reeks of onions. My husband and I had ti wait outside because our eyes were burning Sandwich was great. Overall a 3.5 read more

Exceptional...no other way to say it. These guys make hogies the way they're supposed to be made. Best in the 'burgh, bar none!

Grab a battle ship there as long as quarantine has been. But leave a way better taste in your mouth.

Husband born in Pittsburgh and we moved back recently. He could not wait to get a Triangle Bar sandwich. Called earlier today to order as we were close running errands. Was told it would be an hour and a half wait!?!? For two sandwiches....really? Sounds like mismanagement at its finest! Huge disappointment! read more

Great Subs and my all time favorite since growing up as a child is getting the Battleship or the Destroyer. read more

I just do take out. Subs are great. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long bcse they are busy and they make them fresh while you wait.

Nice place to visit. Sandwiches are awesome. People are cool. Parking everywhere. Different size sandwiches. Price is right. Atm on-premises. Rapid sandwich makers. read more

The place has great sandwiches, but the service and efficiency is just awful! Staff also wear their masks below their noses, no one ever answers the phone etc. Takes literally hours to get your sandwich. One time called ahead and went to go pick it up and they had no record of my order. read more

Don't be put off by the exterior, which makes the place look like the venue for an after hours mafia-run poker game: inside you'll find the stuff of local sandwich lore. The Triangle still makes subs like they used to make them: giant, fresh bread, stuffed full of delicious and perfectly layered meat, with all the appropriate accoutrement. This is classic Pittsburgh fare. I've been eating these sandwiches for decades; they're a staple at any sports viewing I have, from football Sunday to March Madness. When I still played softball, we'd come here after games and sit at the little sports bar inside and split a few Battleships. One is enough to feed a family! You can't miss with the Italian, but I've grown quite fond of the cheese steak and grilled chicken as the years have gone by. Just remember, even a small sandwich is plenty for one person. This is a sub shop for both the ambitious eater and the sandwich connoisseur. read more

Fantastic Italian Sub - Battleship. Great local spot, one battle ship feeds about 4 people!

This place has been a staple forever, battleships are good. My only concern is the quality of the meat. Hopefully, as time goes on, they will have more choices. read more

The triangle bar sandwiches I think they fell off but people still love it but doesn't like it was back in the days I'm giving them 3 stars

I absolutely love this place. Sandwiches are fresh and delicious! Would give 5-Stars, but the parking blows, it's CASH ONLY (there's an ATM on location) and it can be pretty busy at times, so there's often some wait time. Will continue to visit and would highly recommend. read more

Hoagiessssss!!!!!!!! Truly the best in the city!! I'm absolutely in love with their hoagies here which they have a nice selection on which kinds that you can choose from. I visit this place once in awhile and I've always been satisfied with my order. I don't know the staff here that well because they are always extremely busy but one day my phone died and the guy was super cool and let me use his phone to get in touch with a friend which was really nice of him to help me. If you like hoagies this will definitely be your go to place in Pittsburgh. This place was also on a tv show so that speaks volumes within itself. So if you are in the Swissvale area make sure you that you come here to get your hoagie read more

I absolutely love this place! It makes the best subs in Pittsburgh. They always have a line but the employees work hard. read more

I live out of town and I dream about these hoagies! It is the perfect combination of meat, cheese and lettuce tomatoes and onion!!! The spices and dressing are homemade and the perfect accent. Oh the bread.... I am dreaming with my mouth watering! read more

Gotta get the battleship, it's the best!! When I visit from North Carolina it's a must stop!!

Great place, not what you initially expect from the outside I must admit. Talked to the guy at the counter. Things done in house and well the subs are as long as an arm. They arent all bread like some places. I would like to see French fries pop up on the menu but that's me. read more

Big, great quality subs for a good price. Only downside is that the parking is a little bad and you have to pay with cash. Great takeout experience overall. read more

This place has been around forever and is a staple in the Pittsburgh area. If you've never had one of their Battleship Sandwiches or a Destroyer, you haven't lived...they are AWESOME! read more

The whole hoagies are really 3' long seriously and the best I've eaten anywhere! It's an experience going there but the food and staff are great. There prices are unbelievably fair also, fantastic! read more

The Battleship hoagie is a long-time favorite in my family... by far my favorite cold Italian sub in the area! These subs are great for parties, a game day feast, or eating alone on your couch. No one said you had to share! :) Their bread is perfectly soft, meats are well portioned and evenly distributed, and the tomatoes and lettuce are always fresh. I've never personally been to the brick & mortar location, but my family has always remarked how quick and pleasant the service is. The Triangle hoagies are a must if you're looking for something quick, easy, delicious, and reasonably priced to tote along to your next family get together. read more

Best sub in the Burgh!!! I highly recommend the fried bologna!! Clean and inviting The Best bread!! And Rick Sebak Love it here too! read more

Triangle hoagies are second to none. When I think about them when I'm hungry, my mouth starts watering immediately. This can be torture because I live thousands of miles away right now. But when I get into town my first meal is always from here. The hot sandwiches are very good but, for me the way to go is the turkey battleship. With that high quality meat and cheese, the veg and sauces on those soft italian rolls, it's sandwich perfection for me. Best yet, the Triangle is a bar, so you can sit down for a drink or grab a big bottle of beer to go, and some Turner tea to wash it all down. Bring cash and an empty tummy. read more

Best subs in the 'Burgh no doubt. Sandwiches are giant and always filling. Simple fresh ingredients, nothing overly fancy.

So this place was featured on a past food network show called Cheap Eats and naturally when we watched a re-run of it on Sunday morning before the Steeler game, we knew where we were headed for dinner at halftime later that day. Around 630 that evening we headed over to Swissvale. Without knowing about the place or checking the hours they are open, you may not even realize its there. We went in and it was exactly what we expected - a sub shop. No frills, no fancy décor. It's a neighborhood bar that whips up huge, delicious sandwiches. There were 2 or 3 televisions with the game blaring through, some bottles of liquor on the back bar and coolers full of 40s, pounders and 12 ounce bottles. This place does not have anything except sandwiches and a few sides - no wings, no chicken tenders, no fries, no salads, and no appetizers. That was perfectly fine with us. I was fully prepared for a Sunday cheat meal (as I don't often eat sandwiches anyway). We ordered the 26 inch (destroyer? .. $20) steak & cheese sandwich to split. It came with shaved steak, provolone, lettuce, tomato, vinegar, mayonnaise and fried onions & mushrooms. We also got a side of potato salad that was in a medium sized Styrofoam container and was more than enough to share ($3). It all was EXCELLENT. It reminded me of my absolute favorite sandwich place at IUP when I went there except Triangle's bread was MUCH better and extremelyyyy fresh. Bobby went to order a captain and coke and we were told "we are more of a shot and beer bar..we don't have any ice right now" LOL which was funny and perfectly fine - we both settled for beers. Please note that they are cash only. There is an ATM, but it wasn't working while we were there so Bobby had to run down the street and withdraw money while I waited for the food. Once we were finished, the guy behind the bar came over to check on us. He was shocked that we had both finished our 13" halves (please......we didn't come here to mess around). It was honestly more than enough to take home for another meal, but I couldn't stop!!!!!!! It was so good! Triangle is a great local little spot to stop and get a really delicious, filling meal at a cheap price. It seems they do a good takeout business. We'll be back! Huge fans. read more

I had seen this on two shows and finally said ok I'm gonna make the drive. I ordered by phone so the two times I've been there both where phone orders for pick up. I know everyone raves about the the Battleship Italian they have but the Butcher Boy is where it is at! So much fried jumbo that I actually couldn't eat the normal amount of a sub I do. I recommend this place is you like fresh subs that are really good. They make their bread in house also. read more

Amazing subs. The Battleship is a Must have for any big gathering. Love this little nugget of Pittsburgh culture. Bring Cash.

Best sandwiches ever. Go here for the the best known sandwich in Pittsburgh but don't just stop at the Italian try the steak and cheese, hot sausage and meet ball. All are AMAZING. I've been eating these sandwiches for over 30 years and travel 40 mins when I get the craving for one. read more

Prior to taking in the Amon Amarth concert at Mr. Smalls Theater, I met up with friends for a pre-show apartment party in Millvale. Food was to be provided by Frank's Pizza and Chicken, but when I arrived, the pie had vanished. "Wait, Darren," a friend I'll call The Wizard said. "I got a Battleship!" "From Triangle Bar?" I asked. "Yeah. And it was barely touched!" A chant began, long-haired hellraisers representing both genders in tattoos and black shirts began to shout my name in unison. A Triangle Bar Battleship -- a hoagie 26 inches long that is blessed with an Italian vinaigrette so magically pungent, has the capacity for making standard iceberg lettuce, garden tomatoes, and plain white onions dazzle -- was waiting for me. The deli meat is piled as thick as 2X4's, the fresh-baked bread is akin to a Portuguese roll, and 2 foot plus submarine can feed a brigade of hungry metallions. Except it wasn't a mere grinder... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1NIC_xKLBo It was a manifestation of Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent... http://www.facetasm.com/bundles/bilderundworte/uploads/catalog/product/11001/item11265.1.jpg http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/OneDumbG0/Thor%20Fights/ThorvsJormungand.jpg Being deemed temporarily worthy of Mjolnir I had channeled the mighty god of thunder... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=twilight%20of%20the%20thunder%20god%20amon%20amarth%20&sm=1 Would this be...? http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/Leescomics/May%202012/thor157.jpg The sandwich snake's juicy proteins, lead-heavy grains, and vegetables squished when bitten into, lashing out, thrashing, whipping its enormous tail at me. Nonetheless, Jormungand would fall, Earth's demise would be averted, and loud, guitar-driven merriment ensued. After not having had a Battleship in 7 or so years, I found that its quality had not wavered. It is truly a zep for all time, one that offers to its competitors... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJm8fZ6WS5Y read more

I can't believe I'm the first to review! My husband and I saw something about the Triangle Bar and Grill on an old WQED rerun about good places to eat in PA. We stopped by yesterday and are VERY glad we did. The Battleship hoagie fed us for 2 meals (3 feet of sandwich with 2 lbs of meat!), and that's saying a lot, we like our food!... and it was only 12.95! It was one of the best sandwiches I've had, hands down. We are definitely going back! read more
