Stopped for a quick bite while walking around Market Square, and was not disappointed! I got the chicken cheesesteak, small size, which was actually not that small at all. They packed my sammich with legit chicken breast strips (not the usual shredded kind), which was awesome. The bread! It was soft and so chewy! There is a decent size dining room if you want to eat in. They also have options for other hot and cold sammiches. A good option for a quick, cheap and delicious bite. read more

I loved DiBella's! We had the godfather there and it was insane, we topped it with everything we could think of and then some. I liked all their options but if you're a vegetarian they don't offer a huge selection. It is however, worth taking a stop by and checking this place out. I usually don't go to delis so this place really blew me away!! The location isn't the greatest, I love their subs but I wouldn't trek all the way downtown for them. read more

I don't get the appeal that results in lines out the door (or maybe that's just the poor setup where the line starts a few feet after you walk into the door. First off, it is pricey for a sandwich shop. On the upside, there are a lot of choices for you to customize your sub the way that you want it. Lots of meats and accouterments to choose from. The employees taking your order seem to be working at warp-speed, to the point where your head might be spinning after you place your order. The cashiers and managers down at the other end tend to move a lot slower. Yet, despite the frenetic pace of the front-line, I always seem to wait forever for my sandwich- usually about 10 minutes. To be clear, I order my sandwiches very simple. You are given a number then someone is running back and forth from the counter trying to hand out the sandwiches. It is so unorganized and chaotic. The sandwiches are fine, but nothing spectacular. The portions are generous- the small is quite large. The large is ludicrous. I wish they had a bigger assortment of bread- some with seasoning (like a Parmesan oregano, for example). The pasta salad is good, but over dressed. The cookies are tasty. Unless you have a coupon, be prepared to pay twice as much as you would at Subway. read more

I've been here numerous times since they opened. DiBella's is one of the best subs you can get in Pgh, to say nothing of dahntahn. There's a large assortments of subs and meats - capicola, corned beef, chicken philly, genoa salami, ham, etc. I've had everything from the dagwood to the old fashioned, philly cheesesteak to buffalo chicken. All quite delicious and a good balance between meat, cheese and toppings. And you can get them hot! Me does not like cold subs. The wait can be a little long during the lunch rush but I think they do a pretty good job considering the volume. The order takers are pretty friendly. Overall, this is one of my favorites in market square, esp. getting to-go when the weather is nice and you can sit outside and people-watch while eating. read more

For a sub shop, this place has a limited range of ingredients and an even unfriendlier staff. Upon entering, I was treated as if I didn't know what I was doing - which was true - and also annoying because I was asking about vegetarian options. At that point, I'd leave a business, but I had limited time and don't know the downtown area well. So, I ordered something that was overpriced and just filled with olives and roasted red peppers - which wasn't filling so much as just satisfactory. So, if you're a vegetarian or vegan, stay away from this place. Otherwise, I think meat-eaters might like this. Truth be told, the service is what brings this review down. This must be a place where teenagers who don't care go to work. read more

Stopped by on a whim for a sub with my daughter. I ordered the cheesesteak and meatball sub. Both subs were hot which is an A plus in my book. The bread was soft and fresh. The meatballs tasted great. I'm always worried about ordering meatball subs and having the meatballs taste like they were out of the freezer. It did not disappoint. I enjoyed my cheesesteak and would order it again. I didn't give this place five stars because like other yelpers mentioned it is a little confusing when you walk in, and the pasta salad is smothered in Italian dressing. I would also like to see kid options. A simple grilled cheese will do. These subs are way better than Subway! read more

Favorite sub place!!! I love their subs. The first time I came across a DiBella's was in Buffalo New York. I was so EXCITED when they came to Pittsburgh. The subs are the way Gram used to make them: heat the meat and melt the cheese!! The best part of the meal is always dessert and their cookies are to die for. I love to bake and make excellent chocolate chip cookies but I love their cookies. I had to give this place only 3 stars becuase of the setup. The door is always cramped at lunchtime and the line is always out the door. They always seem to have enough staff on hand to make the line go quickly but you are fighting the people coming out of the restaurant. Once you pay for your food you have to fight to fill your drink. Everyone stands by the registers to wait for thier food. 5 stars for the food but 1 one star for the setup! read more

Wow, this is a good sandwich! Everything tasted so fresh, and the sandwiches were expertly assembled. Though I think the bread (which is made there in the store) really makes the sandwich, I am also a fan of the good quality meats they use. The staff was helpful, friendly, and patient with me as an indecisive first timer. Great location on Market Square. Wish I had one of these back home! read more

You need to get a sub here. Lots of meat on the sandwich. Skip Subway you won't regret it. Great fresh sliced meats and bread. For $2.00 more you'll feel so much better that you stopped at DiBella's. read more

Echoing what another reviewer has said about DiBella's, the subs are good, the staff is friendly, but the ordering system is a little disorganized. I went on a slow Sunday afternoon and although there were several people working the counter, I couldn't help but feel a little put-off by the number system used for ordering. Instead of an orderly queue where an order is placed, you pay, etc., people wait in front of the counter where staff are making subs, and seemingly just shout out their orders to them before taking a number and going to wait. I ordered the cowboy which was pretty delicious. The bread and ingredients were fresh and my sub was made to order. The atmosphere is interesting: with big band music spilling through the restaurant sound system and a long row of booths and tables set in a cavernous tiled room resembling a New York City subway station. Cleanliness left something to be desired as it was hard to locate a table that wasn't dirty or covered with crumbs. Overall, you come here for the subs and not the atmosphere obviously, and DiBella's makes a good sub. read more

Just discovered Dibellas Subs. Fresh baked sub rolls are outstanding. Meats & cheeses are excellent. Great toppings. Just a delicious sub. On the down side you pay for this quality. But again they do taste awesome. Also wish they had Coke products. Big ups to Dibellas. read more

This is a very good sub. Fresh hot cheese steak. Great bread. Good outside area and quick service. Loved it. Did not try the cold subs,but they looked great as well and huge. read more

Good Chicken Philly sub with cheese, peppers and onions. 11 inches for about $7. Bread wasn't that great; definitely didn't look like the "everything" one I chose on the counter. It was burnt but not crispy. If they improved the "fat" bread I would give it 4 starts. Beats subway. $2.50 extra for drink and chips or drink and cookie. read more

The Bread. Everything else is the same. I feel like that's all that is needed for this review. But that's the main reason I like DiBella's so much. I go regularly with a co-worker for a cold veggie sub on multigrain and leave extremely satisfied. read more

I think it's an insult to even compare this place to Subway! It is a chain and, therefore, not quite as good as your mom and pop Italian grocery, but it sure as heck beats any national chain. Bread alone makes it worth a try, chewy crust, soft inside, makes me glad for gluten. Meats are fresh tasting as are the toppings. I like the three different sizes--plenty for the larger appetites. I walked in at 10:15 on a Tuesday and was the only one in there so I can't comment on the crowds. Same guy made my sandwich and rang me up, all with a smile. Definitely worth a try if you're Primantied out! read more

Greatest Sub in Pitts so far. It's a lot better than it's neighboring sandwich shop (sorry neighbor). The restaurant is super clean and has a old school feel to it. I had the Godfather with everything on it. Fresh meat, fresh veges, and just an awesome sub. It's definitely a great bang for your buck. I'm headed back soon. read more

Ordered the Uncle Louie. Overall a decent samdwich. The bread was great but there was a lot of it, and the sandwich was pretty dry because of it. Fast service and reasonable prices. read more

DiBella's is my favorite chain sub shop. I have to hand it to the employes, I went to this location on Light-Up Night, and I only had to wait maybe 10 minutes for my sub. Now, on a normal day, 10 minutes might be a bit long of a wait, but this place was PACKED because of all the festivities going on right outside the doors. Every other place we went seemed like an impossibly long wait for anything, so I give this location a lot of credit. Anyway, onto the food (you know, the important stuff). I think they have some of the best quality sub bread at DiBella's, I just wish there was a bit more variety to it. Your options are sesame, multigrain, everything, or plain. Maybe I've been spoiled by other restaurants, but I'd like a more artisan option as well. Everything on the sandwich tastes fresh, unlike some places. I like the Godfather, personally, but the cheesesteak and the tuna salad sub are great options too (tuna salad can be tricky). DiBella's is a favorite of mine because everything tastes fresh and it's definitely worth the money. read more

I've spoken to different employees from this company over the phone on multiple occasions and they are all exceptionally rude and snotty. I'll take my business elsewhere and I recommend you do the same. read more

Love Love Love DiBella's! Now if only we could get a Wegmans Grocery Store down here.... Quality meats, fresh breads, and the sub oil is simply amazing. I'm here atleast once a week! read more

Instead of another trip to Primanti, I decided to try DeBella's, and I was very impressed. I had a medium-sized sub, which was equivilant to a large sub most other places. The bread, sesame in this case, was excellent, and the tuna strong. I wish they had DiBella's outside of the Pittsburgh area. read more

Manager Brenan had lovely customer service! This guy is a team player and will go far in his career! Good job Brennan!

Best bang for your buck type place. The "godfather " sub with spicy toppings on a wheat roll is delicious.

This review is on service only, as the food was good. We were at Market Square location on a beautiful Saturday evening. We entered the restaurant around 20 minutes before closing and were immediately told they didn't have much bread left. When asked what they had, they clearly had enough for our party. When we indicated we'd like to place an order, we were met with a terrible attitude. That should've been our first clue to leave. The whole process of ordering and getting our food was very disorganized. When we placed our order we indicated we would be eating outside. Once we finally received our food we went outside and took a seat at the outdoor tables. At that point, an employee came out and told us we could not sit there as they were closing and going to stack up the tables. I told her that we would have appreciated it if they had told us that when we were placing an order, especially since we indicated we will be eating outdoors. Sadly, Market Square is not set up the same as it was prior to Covid, so there was absolutely no outdoor seating available for public use. We literally had to stand and eat our dinner. I will not be patronizing this business again. read more

Best subs in Pittsburgh. Fantastic cookies. About the subs: Heavy on meat and cheese. Light on the veggies. Homemade bread. Delicious Dibellas exclusive oil based dressing. Reasonable prices. How can you go wrong here? read more

Great service​, great food. When we got there the line was long but by the time we left it was our the door! The service was very friendly and helpful, both the godfather (slightly spicy Italian) and the steak were recommended (and both amazing) with the addition of a huge kids meal (3" sub, applesauce, cookie and apple juice) and some of those chocolate chip cookies. The bread was fresh, soft and flavorful (sesame all around), the portions we're generous and the small was more than adequate (6", I believe). Two adults and 2 very littles were more than pleased. Highly recommend stopping by and nomming on one while you enjoy market square. read more

I didn't actually eat the subs myself, but I ordered a party tray for another office in Pittsburgh last minute and these guys executed - I even received a followup call from them a few days later asking how everything went. Very high level. read more

DiBella's is a great place to stop if you need a quick lunch downtown. While it does get pretty packed for the lunch rush, the line is usually better than it looks and it moves quickly. I've had hot and cold sandwiches here and have always enjoyed them. I usually get a small or medium, occasionally going for a large if I will need lunch leftovers for the next day. It's a little overwhelming with ordering if you've never been there before, so make sure you peruse the menu and know what you want before you step up to the counter! read more

Not bad. Salty. Employees miserable. Large portions. Right on Market Square. I like the one in Cranberry better. There the employees were just weird, not miserable and depressing. read more

Great subs... Love the godfather sub always get it... Love the variety of oils that they use... There's mostly a line but it seems to go by very quickly... Better than all the other sub places in my eyes... read more

Yeah it's lunch time but it shouldn't take 30 min to get a sandwich. I enjoy their food but this is ridiculous. I have an order to have it on the app. And I have been in the store waiting for half an hour read more

Talk about a great find! Stumbled in by chance and found the inside of the subway shop to be extremely charming and clean... and the bread + cheesesteak did NOT disappoint. It wasn't greasy and overbearing. Very very good! Will be back. read more

A company came to my school and catered these for lunch and it was honestly one of the best subs I've had in my life! I feel like you're probably thinking it's just some bread and meat and fillings, so how good can it get? But the ingredients tasted so fresh. The bread had a unique grain-y texture that wasn't too firm and relatively healthy. I got a turkey sandwich and finished it so fast! Definitely want to stop by and check out the brick-and-mortar location, but I can attest to their simple yet great tastes and ingredients! read more

Great bread and fresh meats. You'll never go to subway again. The roast beef is awesome. And they have a spicy horseradish to go with it. The bread is definitely the draw though. Sesame, muktigrain and everything. read more

You get your money's worth. The meat on the sub is also really fresh and so are all the other ingredients. If you need something to eat and don't mind spending a bit extra for superior quality, then you should go here. The place has ample seating and the people that work there are pretty nice. read more

If this review were based solely on service, they would have gotten 1 star. I am totally unimpressed with the staff at the Robinson location. The teen who waited on me mumbled and I couldn't understand him as he asked me what type of cheese I wanted. He seemed annoyed that I couldn't hear him. SPEAK-UP KID! While I was ordering a young lady came in to pick up a sandwich tray that had been pre-ordered. They could not find the tray and it took 5 out of the 7 people working to look for it and resolve the issue. That means that everyone else had to wait longer. The manager should have been able to handle that request alone, but they all turned it into social hour-laughing about how the tray wasn't made. I was beyond annoyed. But this isn't just about service...it's also about the quality of the food. The food is delicious. The subs are so yummy . The bread is perfect...not hard bread but not mushy either. Just perfect. They are a little bit pricy, but totally worth it. The house dressing is an oil dressing and it is perfect. So DiBella's...love the food, but hire some more competent people with some manners, PLEASE! read more

This was a very good place that we happened into for lunch. Many places are closed on Sundays in Pittsburgh, so we were very happy to find this place open. We both got subs and really enjoyed them. They are reasonably priced. I would definitely go here again. read more

Can't go wrong with DiBella's, but you can do better. Not going to go into detail with this review. The place is what you'd expect from a chain sub shop that is definitely better than Subway. You'll be filled up with greasy cold cuts for around 10 bucks, the staff will give you the impression that they'd rather be anywhere else, and you'll be in and out in a jiff. The subs are good, but there are better downtown. read more

I really like DiBella's. The service and ordering system are both great. The sandwiches are very good and very fresh. I love their cookies too. DiBella's beats Subway hands down. read more

While on vacation and spending my last day in Pittsburgh I was in the mood for a sandwich and one that I could not find in Cincinnati. While walking around market square someone recommended DiBella's so I stopped in. It like your typical sandwich shop, go to the counter order your sandwich, watch them make it, tell them what you want on it, then pay. The sandwich was much tastier than a typical sandwich shop though. They highlight for me was the freshly baked bread. I had an Italian sandwich and enjoyed the meats that were used. Even though it was a chain, it didn't feel too chain like and it was higher quality than a typical chain shop. I hope someday DiBella's makes it way to my hometown of Cincinnati. read more
