My sandwich was alright. The staff didn't really seem to care about making the food. It was pretty sloppily put together

Ordered from DiBellas website from Market Square location. Was able to track delivery on Di Bellas website. Delivery was incorrect. Wrong product that neither of us wanted. Called DiBellas Market Square. They told us to call DoorDash! WTF DoorDash, how do they enter this? Stuck here hungry and given the cold shoulder by DiBellas. ORDER ONLINE AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

This place is awesome. I love the bread and generous amounts of meat. I would recommend the Dogwood hot or the philly. I would definately eat here again read more

Stopped by for a quick and inexpensive lunch. Got exactly what we wanted and expected. The sandwiches were very good - although an extra slice of cheese (for no up-charge) would have been nice, a healthy quantity of meat on each came standard! Oh, and the cookies...yum! read more

Good philly cheese steak, its Saint Patty's day, no beer, 2/5... Cheese steak fit in my pocket for leftovers 2 hours later. 4/5 read more

It is difficult to imagine a better sub--or a more suitable environment in which to eat it. The food is top quality--serious, well-made rolls stuffed with generous quantities of quality fillings. I got the italian, of course, and was impressed by both the volume and quality of the meat and cheeses. I can tell a cheap cold cut from a mile off, and there was no sign of cheap fillings at DiBella's. As far as I'm concerned, this place is the standard against which all future sandwiches will be measured. I'll be back, sooner rather than later. read more

Wonderful food and super friendly people. I ordered on the mobile app and food was ready by the time I got there. I would definitely order from this place again read more

Don't get trapped by the hype of Primanti Bros., go to DiBella's!!!! Standard sub shot with AMAZING bread and the best Chicken Cheese Steak I have ever had! I go out of my way to go to DiBella's whenever i am near Pittsburgh. The place is great and fairly priced for the area! They make the bread at the restaurant and it blows away any other sandwich in the area. Suggestions: - Chicken Cheese Steak - they use real cut up chicken breast, not shaved chicken. - Italian - good oil and quality meats. - Avoid the regular Philly cheese steak if you are used to real Philly cheese steaks. Only sandwich I have ever been disappointed with. read more

DiBella's Subs slays me. I rank the subs higher than subway and, dare I say it, better than Jimmy Johns. The sub variety is large and the quality is excellent. Everything tastes very fresh. Ordering can be a little overwhelming, but the employees realize that there are a lot of questions and are patient with their customers! It's all about the speed, freshness, and value when it comes to DiBella's! read more

DiBella's Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Don't order online. Complete failure. Ordered two subs. They intermixed the ingredients of each. We would have dismantled and rebuilt to match the order, but mama says mayonnaise is the devil. In-house orders are quick and the subs are good. read more

I just walked in at 4 pm - thinking... I walk past here almost every day - I will try this place out. So i walk in. No line. No one there waiting. Guy comes up to me "you picking up or ordering?" I say "ordering. do you have meatball subs?" He says, "Yes...give me a second and I will get your order." Then disappears. I stand there at the counter where it says to place your order. Another guy says, "what would you like to order?" I say "A meat ball hoagie." He replies "did you take a number?" I look back and now there are 2 people behind me who took a number since I walked in. I replied "take an number?" He said "yes that is how we operate." OKAY. I am not waiting behind 2 people who walked in after me! BYE. I will never come back here. TAKE A NUMBER? I was the only guy in there! I was greeted with a "I will be with you in a second". NOT "TAKE A NUMBER." I can't wait to tell this ridiculous story to EVERYONE I KNOW! read more

I love DiBella's Subs! The Sandwich's are huge. I haven't gotten a sub that I didn't like. The bread is amazing. The prices are great and the sandwiches are very big. I highly recommend this place. read more

Can I just say the obvious here? It's Subway, on steroids. Everything is just about as similar as you can get. From how you order to how you pay. However, the most glaring difference here is the price. When I went to pay I about hit the floor. For their "medium" sub meal combo I could have had two foot longs at Subway. The thing that I did fall in love with here was the bread. I know the other place bakes theirs fresh as well, but it does not compare to this. The crust kind of crumbles when you bite into it, and the innards are so soft and great at keeping what's inside, inside. And do they ever load up what's on the inside, I'm not talking about the fillers. I'm talking about the actually meat. I tasted more meat than veggie, which pleased me. The one thing that I didn't really like was not being able to see the toppings. It's great that they interact with you, but it's also hard to hear over everyone else that is in the restaurant. Plus I like to see that what is put on the sub is as fresh as the bread. In summation, even though the price shocked me, the taste out shocked me. Is that a phrase? Oh well if it isn't, I'm using it. read more

We happened upon DiBella's while walking around Market Square. OMG, it was the best sub I've ever had! I got The Godfather which had capicola, salami, and spicy ham. I got cheddar cheese, mayo, and oil. I ordered a medium and it was huge; I could only eat half. Their medium is a large where I'm from. The bread was soft and obviously homemade. My husband had The Dagwood which he loved, but he can't remember what meats were on there . We got two huge subs, two bags of chips, and one soda for $20.82, so quite reasonably priced too. The guy that took our order was very kind and helpful. The restroom was clean. I have absolutely zero complaints other than it will be a long time before I get to come back to Pittsburgh for one of these subs! read more

DiBella's is the best sub I have ever had in my life. I'm from New Jorsey and I agree that it is hard to get both a good slice, and a good sub in this State. Why is that????? DiBella's needs to open a place here! This was my forth time in Pittsburgh I do three things: 1-get a garbage plate. 2-go to see theSteelers. 3-get a DiBella's sub!!! The secret is the bread. Baked fresh at DiBella's all throughout the day. This aint no subway roll, bleaacchhh. I don't know if they put an eggwash on the bread but it's got a shiny brown coating on it that is really good. The next secret to a DiBella's sub is the condiments: all kinds of mustard and their oil is tops. I prefer honey mustard and a thin coating of mayonnaise. Secret # 3: peppers!! They have sweet, hot, and banana. you gotta get the bananas! They are those awesome sliced, neon yellow peppers that add just the right amount of kick to any sub. DiBella's does not skimp on the fillings...many layers of top-quality meat and cheese make these subs the best around. Average prices for incredible sandwiches, corny 1950's decor with black and white tiled floor and wooden booths, but nobody comes here for the decor, they are comin' here for SUBS!! read more

Pretty average to poor quality sandwiches... maybe you can consider that a level higher for Pittsburgh standards but I'm using an NYC Deli scale Surprisingly for a place with a multiple POS line and pager system they're incredibly slow and disorganized. You can order and pay quickly but it may take ages for your sandwich to actually be prepared, that is if they haven't completely bollixed it and forgot to even make your sandwich as happened today. Never again. read more

If you are looking to have a lunch catered in Downtown Pittsburgh, you should consider DiBella's. I placed an order this week for the boxed lunches - salads and sandwiches - with some special instructions and they did a FABULOUS job! Everyone was so happy with their orders (cookies were delicious!) and all of the special instructions were followed. The person who delivered the lunches set up the boxes in the conference room in a very neat and orderly fashion. The food and the service were great! read more

It's a sub shop, a typical place where subs are churned out with speed. I wasn't expecting much, but it turned into one of the best Cheesesteaks I've ever had and service was quick. Definately will come back and try the other offerings on the menu. read more

I was a little skeptical when I got my sandwich in a bag that reads, "The Best Sub You've Ever Had!" But you know what? They were right. I had The Godfather hot--and it was excellent. Also affordable and great service. read more

Sometimes I think it's hard to differentiate sub shops - but DiBella's stood out to me! They had so many options and my classic Italian hoagie was EXCELLENT! be warned - a small is 7 inches so be prepared to go big when you order. They also have mediums & larges. It has a very quaint, old-time feel inside and beautiful outdoor seating right in the heart of market square. Match all that with kind & quick service and you have a perfect lunch spot in the burgh! read more

Everyone was great to work with! They delivered to our golf outing right on time with the correct order. The delivery person helped us to set it up! read more

The sandwiches are ginormous, fresh and tasty on delectable buns. Super filling. My office used to cater boxed lunches from here for meetings and what a treat that was. read more

it was fine and dandy. I'm a vegetarian, so I have limited options (not their fault at all!!!! i'm just saying i didn't get the fun meat experience that most of you are able to). they forgot to put on cheese and tomato for my order. which was a little sad because i love cheese.... and i also love tomato. but i've forgotten plenty of things in my life. no biggie! it wasn't my favorite. maybe in the future i'd try again, but for now i'll stick with bob's sub. read more

First time trying Dibellas, man it was sooooo good. The bread was fresh, veggies were good and the meat was of good quality. The bread was definitely my favorite part. Big portions too. I got the chicken philly, service was nice and super quick. Will definitely come back. read more

Go to DiBella's to instantly be transported back to the 50's!!! Such a great, "old timely" vibe, and such an old fashioned sub shop! The food, however, isn't old fashioned at all, and serves fresh made subs to order. Either hot or cold, the subs are delicious! read more

Was looking for somewhere to eat before a Steelers game. Everywhere else was packed so I stopped in. Quick service and amazing subs. Definitely stop here again! read more

Always great subs! DiBella's started in my hometown of Rochester, NY, so I was excited to see that there was one In Pittsburgh. Something about their bread is just so good and I can't find another place that has bread as good as they do. They have several meat options and you can make your own sub or choose from a menu. They also have amazing chocolate chip cookies! I highly recommend. read more

Kay wanted to treat me the other night, pledging to meet me in Market Square for a cheap dinner to commemorate her new, new job (long story, but it's worked out so far). I'd been wanting to try this somewhat upmarket version of Subway for some time now just to see if the hype was deserved. Yeeeahhhh...I dunno. I was a bit let down by 5 Guys too due to its greasy, sloppy overkill. Yet, with DiBella's, I found most of everything to be merely edible and not much more. The potato salad, however, was a Grandma's-level mockery that tasted as processed as a pop song. The potatoes were akin to tofu with the texture of gnocchi. I did love the bejeezus out of that sour and fat dill pickle, though, but sadly and strangely, it was the highlight of our delicatessen supper. That's not to say that my custom-made, oven-baked (my choice, you can also have it cold) sandwich was an abomination. Comprised of ham, corned beef, roast beef, onion, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, oil, American cheese, mozzarella, and provolone, I opted for the Portuguese-ish, pretzelesque "Everything" roll to contain it. The meat itself lacked in...something. Freshness perhaps? It simply didn't have the flavors I've come to expect from deli meats. I didn't find them at all "greasy" as another reviewer put it, but rather they were bland to me, and overall, there really wasn't much about the sandwich to set it apart from Subway aside from meats that were a little more supple. Also unremarkable were two dozen mini chocolate chip cookies that came off as the mass-produced, vacuum-packed, and readily available sort one would find in a supermarket aisle along with Oreo's and Chips Ahoy. On a positive track, I did appreciate the enthusiasm of the employees along with the almost fun, surprisingly effective, "20-questions" styled ordering system and the clean, period-piece decor. Although, why they wrap the hell out of dine-in sandwiches is beyond my understanding. For takeout, yes. Eat-in, ehhh, why waste the paper? DiBella's was founded humbly in 1918, and I get the sense that a lot was lost in its metamorphosis from mom-n-pop shoppe to national franchise. If I could, I'd time-travel backwards to try the original and would wager that the sandwiches were far more magical. Primanti Brothers has recently made this type of demonic pact as well, and I hope that it doesn't cause them to become as homogenized as DiBella's. P.S. Our tab for 2 medium sandwiches, 2 potato salads, 2 pickles, 2 fountain beverages, and the cookies was over $30! Affordable this wasn't. read more

Awful. Just awful. In this establishment, you order at a counter of shouting service-people, each vying for your attention at their line. You place your order (standard hot subs), and then, while you stand or sit to wait, workers run up and down the long restaurant yelling out order numbers. The atmosphere is chaotic, and yet the wait still managed to be quite long. The price was quite high: a regular-sized sub, a cookie, and a drink for $13. The worst part was the sandwich itself. The first time I went, I found it to be a very run-of-the mill hot sub. I was ambivalent. However, I decided to give it another shot and, though I had a similar experience with the services, the roast beef dip sub on whole grain was *absolutely disgusting.* The bread had an unpleasant, dry, dense flavor and texture, and the meat was highly salted leather akin to beef jerky. Dipping it in the au jus managed only to make it soggy and even saltier. Really, I would eat at any single place downtown before I will be back to this establishment or any of its other locations. read more

How did I not know of this place before?! It's right on market square, next to chipotle. This is another great option if you want a little more homey subs besides Jimmy John's. I usually order the Philly cheesesteak or the meatball sandwich. It doesn't beat other cheesesteaks that I've had but it's pretty decent. Their subs are pretty big and the bread is delicious! There are plenty of seating in the back and the atmosphere is old school. read more

This chain location is a solid option if you're not down for a wait at Primanti's. Actually I think it's better than Primanti's, but I am not a member of the Yinz nation. The bread quality here is very good - imagine the freshness of Subway but with real bread. Great texture, and I learned an "everything" works better with deli meats than it does with cream cheese or smoked fish. The meats themselves were solid - I liked the horseradish mayonnaise on my Uncle Louie, a combo of roast beef, ham and turkey. Salad items were fresh as well. My partner's Old Fashioned (turkey, ham, Genoa salami) was also savory. A medium feeds one large appetite. If you plan on having dinner, share your large with a friend. Not on the level of a Gaucho or even a Thin Man, but it's a crime that there are ten thousand Subways and maybe two dozen of these. None where I live. read more

This is by far my favorite sub place in Pittsburgh. Their bread is amazing. My go to is always the old fashioned grilled on plain bread. It comes with turkey, ham, and salami. If you haven't tried dibellas yet you need to get there ASAP! read more

So I went in here cuz almost everything I wanted was closed on a Sunday. Saw this place and figured why not. After going in I noticed the old school look. It felt comfy, so I look over the menu and see the cowboy a BBQ bacon chicken sub. I noticed all the food is cooked on the grill after ordering. After a short wait I bit in and taste what have to be one of the best subs I have had in my life. The price was good also and a med sub was more then enough. Would make this a reg spot I have to visit when I come to pitt along side the likes of primanti bro. read more

We stopped in today for lunch. We began at Grant Street and walked down Forbes turning our nose at every place since we have ate there 100x in the last 4 years. We get to Market Sq and decide on DiBella's since neither of us have been there. I ordered "The Cowboy".. which is cubed chicken, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese and thick, smoked bacon. I enjoyed the sanwich and was surprised on the size of it. Bobby ordered "DiBella's Dip" shredded roast beef with the side of au jus sauce. You can order it cold or hot. He ordered it hot and added sauteed mushrooms, onions and peppers. He gave the sandwich two thumbs up and again the sandwich was huge. I have no intentions on heading back to Subway, Quiznos, Penn Station Subs (yuck) or Jimmy Johns. They know how to make a sub! Also, their bread was perfect! Prices are pretty steep though.. we each ordered the medium sized sub and made them both combos (medium drink + a cookie or bag of chips) Our total came to $25. Can't really eat Dibella's everyday but it will be a nice treat and I'm glad to have changed up my lunch routine. read more

This was a first time visit and well worth the walk. I went with the medium Godfather combo. Huge size, awesome bread and meat/veggie's made this a keeper. You always have to compare a hoagie to others and this dominates. I will be heading back down the road. I was scoping out the other subs at the table and I need to keep trying them out. read more

I went there today with my nephew for the first time for us both. I should say first and last time. It was disgusting. Bread was super bland. I wanted my sub cold it was cooked. Which isn't too bad if the bread actually got toasted which it didn't. I do not recommend this place read more

My new favorite chain sub place in the Burgh! I was in the area one night and had my heart set on finally trying a burger from Winghart's. They were closed for remodeling due to a fire. So I walk into DiBella's and boy am I glad I did! When I walked in I noticed how clean the space was and that it had a old school feel to it. DiBella's not only offers subs but, salads, macaroni, potato and pasta salads, deli pickles and cookies as well. Think of Five Guy's but, with hoagies as you pick your bread, size of hoagie, cheese and toppings you want. I went up to the counter, looked over the menu and was ready to order. I went with a cheesesteak on their white bread, (similar to pretzel bread) provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, banana and sweet peppers, mayo, BBQ sauce and steak sauce. I got my sub toasted so the provolone could melt a little more. I added a combo of chips and a drink also. I grabbed my bag of chips, went over and filled my cup and went down to the cash register to pay. The smell of my sub being made was absolutely intoxicating! A few minutes I sat down to enjoy my hoagie. Let me tell you, it was EPIC! From the fresh bread to the tender steak to the fresh condiments, it was truly one of the best chain store subs I've ever had! It was so good that a few days later I took my wife and daughter to get a sub as well. They also have a kids menu. Service was excellent as well as it was a little crowded but I got my sub fast! All in all a great place that is a defiant must try! read more

Dibella's has the best cheesesteak hoagies in town. Their salads are very good and a good value. Their Market Square location had some issues in the past but they seemed to have worked them out. I go out of my way to go downtown just to go to DiBella's even though I live 30 minutes away. read more

This is not my favorite sub restaurant, but it is OK. I visited in the evening after dinner when it was not busy. I still had to wait a little while for my sub. I did have a table and chair to sit at, which I appreciated. My tastebuds were satisfied but not thrilled with the taste. read more
