I was in Pittsburgh for a few days ... and I heard Pittsburgh actually rivals Philly for the best cheesesteak; so I came to Yelp to find a little gem to grab one from that was in walking distance from my hotel (Omni).
This little bodega was only a 6 minute walk ... but make it 20 minutes if you're like me and want to stop and enjoy the beautiful architecture! There is no seating so expect to grab and go :)
I shared a menu of the hot foods available that will be cooked right there on the spot. In fact, Tony himself cooked up my cheesesteak. He was very friendly, introducing himself, as well as the gentleman on register.
After enjoying some good music and friendly banter, my food was done. They placed it in a bag for me and went back to my hotel.
Tony's cheesesteak was awesome! It comes with the meat and cheese, peppers and onions ... and also mushrooms which I asked to hold off on. It was still nice and warm when I got back to my hotel. All of the ingredients were perfectly blended together so you got a little bit of each ingredient in every bite! It was gooey and filling and not a single dry bite! I was stuffed for the remainder of the day and that was only lunch time!
Great little spot I would gladly stop in again if I were local. read more
