We ordered matzo ball soup, corned beef, knishes, and latkes--everything was fresh, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also spoke with the owner, and it's clear he genuinely cares and knows his stuff. Being from NY and Philly, we know a good deli--and this one delivers. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, I highly recommend Squirrel Hill Market.

When I go to your business' instagram page and find a parade of postings of pinup girls with pastrami sandwiches crudely shopped in - you have my curiosity. When I show up and discover a charming, thoughtful person cooking up the best pastrami on rye I've had in over a decade? You have my heart. This is as a straightforward as it gets: a pound of deliciously aged, brined, and smoked pastrami on toasted (or not) bread. Accoutrements are minimal: mustard, swiss cheese, coleslaw, sauerkraut. I went with only mustard, and the flavor of the meat still carried the sandwich to elite flavor. There's also corned beef, hot dogs, latkes, and knishes (my fwb got two and said they were delicious). I'll be back to try it all. So far I've had 5 pastrami sandwiches and each has been praiseworthy. Truly pinup worthy.

Such generous portions. I was only able to eat half of my sandwich. Was not charged extra for toppings. We ate like "kings" for $20 plus tax. Make your drink selection from the store before ordering. The servers were very helpful in making our selection. Very cheerful, and brought the food to our table. We had a lovely discussion about popular foods on the menu. The locals seated in the dining area were friendly and engaged us in conversation about the area. The tables are few, and a tight squeeze, but clean and in a brightly lit area. The server let me know that the entire menu is available all day. Bring your appetite, and a cash tip for the jar. You will enjoy the local flavors of the food and ambiance. We will be back often, and with friends.

As far as Italian sandwich's go it was just ok nothing special. I did not care for the bread that much and the meat was just ok. I probably would not go again at least not for an Italian hero. The food would get 2 stars in my opinion but the service was 5 stars all the way. Overall I have to give it 3 stars as the food itself was just ok.

And a very reasonable sized menu with solid (but not huge) portions. I got to try their caprese with pesto panini. It was absolutely delicious. I believe they make most of the sauces in house (like the pesto and artichoke sauce). The bread is crispy on the edges and soft in the middle, the cheese is fresh, the vegetables are super fresh, and the pesto is delicious. It's just a great sandwich. And, it even comes with a nice pickle spear! All in all, definitely recommend this spot for lunch. The caprese is so good!

The lady at the register was telling me how busy it was, but I would've never guessed! The service was amazing! The 2 subs I ordered were done in the short time I took to look around the store. They have a huge selection of deli sandwiches, pizza, grab & go pastas, bakery, as well as pantry staples imported from Italy. I grabbed a tube of garlic paste, some tomato pasta, and hot sausage while I waited. I ordered an Italian combo sub and a pastrami sub they had on the menu. Both had a ton of flavor and were packed with toppings. We saved half of each for the next day, and they honestly tasted even better after marinating in the fridge. I'll definitely be back!!

I also agree with a lot of reviews that the price is steep for the amount of food you get (I got the lunch special because it included fries, which are normally a $2 add on to a $12-14 sandwich).
