The food was fabulous, fantastic and huge! I never saw a gyro so big. It could feed 4 people easily. This was a delivery. The gyro salad was huge as well. We ordered stuffed grape leaves and a spinach/feta cheese in pastry. We were so full after attempting to eat our gyros that we had to put them in the fridge without opening them. We will order or go in person to this restaurant often. Try it you will love it. read more

I've been looking for good Greek food since I came back from my honeymoon, and this is the place! Everything on their menu is flavorful & authentic. The people working here are super friendly & helpful. They made a mistake with one of my orders (forgot the tzatziki on the side & no cucumbers), and they completely made a new one and allowed me to keep the extra! The restaurant is quite small; although, there are some seat by the window. Nevertheless, this spot is perfect for quick takeout, and I love that it's local! Here's what I've tried: [Chicken Gryo]: Flavorful & stuffed full. This can be super messy so ask for the tzatziki on the side. I love that they put fries on their gyros. That's what I saw in Santorini. [Hummus]: Both hummus that I have tried has been super flavorful & authentic. The classic garlic hummus is out of this world, and I really loved the spiciness & mix of feta in the Spicy Hummus. Pro Tip: order extra pita with the hummus. There's not enough! [Baklava Cheesecake]: Although this isn't exactly authentic, it was delicious. I love baklava, and I love cheesecake. This was a winning combination for me. A flaky top with a creamy inside allowed for the perfect dessert! [Rice Pudding]: I didn't take a picture of this dessert, but it was delicious nonetheless. It's creamy and vanilla-y (Is that a word?!?), and the cinnamon on top pairs perfectly for a more than flavorful dessert. They always have a special of 2 for $6. Perfect for eating one now & saving one for lunch tomorrow! [Crab Cake Gyro]: For Lenten, they have specials, and this one did not disappoint. The crab cake was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love the innovation of the seaside tzatziki that paired well with the crab cake. I tasted a hint of Old Bay. Perfection. I will be eating at this place over and over again. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu! read more

So much food. I asked for extra sauce. Didn't need it. Amazing. Only thing I want is the fries cooked extra.

Gyros portions are large- beware! My husband can usually eat 2 gyros and fries but the meal was so big he couldn't finish it. The fries are seasoned and so good too. I went and placed order for takeout (there really isn't space for dine in except a counter and couple stools) so food was hot and fresh when I got home. I also brought home some baklava, baklava cheesecake and grape leaves. There's some items ready made in the case like dessert, grape leaves and hummus. Really friendly service and both phone numbers posted on yelp work (one is old, one is new at their Irwin location). Posting the menu and will be back for sure! read more

Great spot for relatively cheap Greek food! Some of the items are a little overpriced, but most are great! I have tried both the tiropita, spanakopita, and chicken souvlaki. Everything has been tasty, but the portions for the chicken vs pastries are vastly different! Both the tiropita and spanakopita are quite large. There is a special where you can get 2 of the same pastry for $5. They are quite buttery and moist on the inside, which I like. However, there is also a lot of phyllo dough on top, which made it crunchy, but did not add much flavor. On the other hand, the souvlaki is extremely small! It's just a piece of chicken slightly larger than the size of my index finger. It is grilled well, though, and has a nice charred flavor. But for $4.50? Well, you could almost get a while rotisserie chicken for that price! All in all, this is a pretty good Greek spot in Penn Hills. There aren't many other places in the area serving this cuisine, so check it out. It's small and quaint on the inside, but has some pretty decent food. read more

RIP!!!!! You will be missed in Penn Hills! They were mostly grumpy people and the place could of used a cleaning but I was there for the food. Always big portions of fresh meat and perfectly seasoned fries! Never got the order wrong! read more

I decided to try here for lunch today and I was not disappointed. The lady at the front was very sweet and informative helping me pick what to get. I settled on the gyro combo which comes with fries and your choice of a drink. The amount of food i got for $11 was insane!! The gyro is loaded with fresh, hot meat, red onions and the sauce but I got feta with mine too. I waited about 10 minutes from my order (made it there, got my food and made it home before my lunch break was over) and it came out nice and hot. I definitely recommend this place to anyone around the area! read more

Update : 9-2018 I love gyros and I have always liked Old Village Grill ! Today was a disappointment :( Gyro meat was cold, nothing worse than cold meat. They keep it in a chafing dish with a cover lid after shaving from the cone. There was a miss communication with the clerk and the cook, we asked that they separate the meat and the sauce for a gyro to go - we received they gyro built with gyro sauce on the meat :(. We are taking this restaurant off the rotation list for a bit !! read more

Horrible. The meat was burnt. The pita was small. The fries were OK. First and last visit. ​ read more

I have been wanting to write this review for some time.... After my latest exceptional visit this week I had to review. I'm lucky enough to live near by but I must say I would drive a while to get this authentic Greek goodness. The staff are super friendly and helpful the food is the best in the burgh and the prices more than reasonable. I have been here many times and have never been dissapointed. 5 stars all the way! read more

We just moved here from california. Our favorite was to always get a good gyro from somewhere and have lunch with our kiddo. When we walked in we were immediately greeted with smiles. The customer service was amazing and they were so sweet to our 1 year old baby and made conversation. On top of it my husband got the gyro and I got a plate and it was delicious!!!! We definitely found our go to gyro place :) read more

The food was delicious. I had a Gyro and an order of spanakopita. Both were outstanding. There was enough meat on the Gyro make four more gyros. The woman behind the counter could not have been nicer. My only complaint is that it would've been nice to have more seating and possibly outside seating, it is really more of a takeout restaurant. I will definitely be back. read more

Highly recommend! We ordered authentic and chicken gyros. They were well seasoned and filling. Also split a Spanakopita, hummus and cheesecake. Everything was delicious! Needless to say, we have leftovers for later. Fast and friendly service! read more

GROSS. Wish I could give this place zero stars. Was wondering why it was completely empty at 7pm on a Thursday, but then I noticed how filthy dirty the restaurant is, and then I tasted the burnt-yet-soggy food, and now I am wondering how they are still open. Didn't realize it was even possible to screw up a giro. But everything was so gross. read more

This place is seriously amazing. The staff is so friendly and the food is the BEST. You get enough meat on the gyro for two of them. Always so fresh and tender and the prices are great. I'll never go anywhere else in Pittsburgh for a gyro! read more

Outstanding Gyros! I love gyros! My favorite place is Steve's up in Cleveland. When I can't make the 2 hour trip up there I go to Old Village Grill on Saltsburg Road in Penn Hills. The meat portions are large with more than enough meat for two gyros. Their options for gyros include (Authentic) a mixture of lamb and beef, (Souvlaki) marinated skewed pork and Chicken. They also offer greek salads, Hummus, Dolmage (stuffed grape leaves), Spanakopita (Fillo dough stuffed with Spinach and Feta cheese and Tiropita (Fillo dough stuffed with a blend of cheeses. For dessert they offer Baklava and Rice Pudding. They have party trays for your next event as well. There are everyday specials like a gyro, fires and a drink for $7.99 or 2 gyros for $10. They do offer a few tables if you can't make it home and want to eat in. They even offer free wifi and take PayPal. Get here now! read more

Growing up in Buffalo, every diner was a greek diner. You could always gt souvlaki and gyros. When I moved to Pittsburgh I was shocked to learn this was a regional thing. I had no idea good greek food would be so hard to find in Pittsburgh! There are gyros everywhere but not as many options for souvlaki, grape leaves or other treats. I learned of Old Village Grill when I had their baklava at a party I was at. The hostess mentioned it was from a new(ish) greek place in Penn Hills. I was intrigued so I went to check it out the next day. The menu is fairly small, but that is fine because everything they do they do extremely well. You can get entrees (which include Gyro, grilled chicken or souvlaki) on their own or as part of a combo with fries and a salad. They also have sides like grape leaves, spanakopita and hummus. Gyro portions are extremely large and the meat is very tasty and tender. But whatever you order, you won't be disappointed. Everything is fresh and flavored and spiced wonderfully. Inside there are a few tables for dine in, but it is mostly a take out venture. Your best bet is to call ahead to avoid a wait, but even walking in the wait time isn't that bad. Check for coupons as there have been some in the Clipper Magazine. They also have a loyalty card which is punched every time you buy a Gyro. A great way to save if you intend to be a frequent visitor. I'm glad I discovered this gem fairly close to home. read more

If you can't go to Greece for gyros, go here instead. If you can go to Greece for your gyro fix, consider going here first. They're that good. The gyros are huge, the sauce is tasty, the meat; zesty. The service is friendly, and, Bob, the price is right. I keep coming back to this place because of the outstanding food and value, you really shouldn't miss out. read more

This is my favorite place to get a gyro. Huge portions - Buy an extra pita and you will have lunch for tomorrow! I love love love the fries. Seasoned and always put into the fryer fresh when you order. I dip them in an extra tzatziki sauce! read more

The have a sign on the door asking you to wear a mask. I went back to the car and got one to respect it and no one inside was wearing one. Worse, they treated me like I should no be in there. The Gyro was not even close to what we have gotten before. I am not sure it it is due to a decline in quality or the preparation of the rude lady who prepared it. I wish I had left when I entered and was treated so rudely. read more

Huge, tasty gyros and quality fries at respectable prices. The place to go if you need gyros outside of Greek Food Festival season!

After reading several of these reviews, the poor reviews all mentioned the meat being cold, one even speculated the meat temp was below health department allowable temp which is 135-140 F. Let me tell you this...they are right. I've eaten there about once or twice a month since they opened, food was great. In the past year it has gone down hill. We ate there in early January then about six weeks later. This most recent time, we had Gyro's...about 16-24 hours later, I was up several times during the night with the skids. She had the same issues about the same time frame. I started to think and that time in January, the same thing happened, middle of the night skids and ill feeling. So I did some looking into OVG on the health department web site and found they have been found in violation several times for the meat being below temp.....this is the meat on the skewer......seems they shut the gas off when slow which allows the meat to go from 135-140 down to room temp which just happens to be the prime temp for food poisoning bacteria to form. The report said this is a regular issue. I'm done with OVG....Hope you do better. *HIGH RISK*** -Tiropita (feta and ricotta) held in the hot holding cabinet measured 109F.

Awesome! Food's always great and served fast. One of our regular go to spots. Pay them a visit if you want a great gyro!

Whenever you're talking "gyros," some mouth-breathing yinzer will undoubtedly mention the South Side's Mike & Tony's. Mike & Tony this. Mike & Tony that. Mike & Tony hit me with a wiffle ball bat. I spent two whole years after college living in the slums of Pittsburgh's South Side, doing my post-graduate work in hard liquor and fatty foods. Mike and Tony know what they're doing; their gyros are good. Old Village Grill's are perfect, though. Everything's seasoned to perfection. The toppings are fresh. The sauce is great. Old Village is, in my opinion, far superior; maybe the best gyro place in the area. Aside from their gyros, the other food they offer is great, too. Their chicken gyros are - and I never thought I'd say this - just as good as their traditional ones. They also have several vegetarian options that are great. It's a family-owned business. The old guy running the joint is as nice as they come. If I had ONE bone to pick with the place (and I'm really searching here) it's that the gyro is arguably too big. I'll sometimes have to pick a quarter of the meat off of it before I even attempt my first bite. Still, that's not a terrible problem to have. Anywho... go spend some of your money there so it stays open, please. read more

Surprised! I wouldn't have eaten gyros from a place in Penn Hills but my friends dragged me in. I would be missing out on the best gyros in the city! Let me just say I left stuffed. Their basic gyro and fries meal is more than enough to fill you up and it's only $8! It was delicious and the gyro sauce was fresh and clean tasting. Grape leaves were good and the fries had a great seasoning. My only regret is I didn't buy the hummus, which I was told is homemade. I'll be back and I'll recommend it easily. Keep the menu simple and fresh please! read more

Best gyros I have had in a few years! They do not skimp on the food, the gyro was so stuffed I could barely finish it. We did the 2 gyros for $10 everyday special and it was very much worth it. Tried the spanokopita as well, it only hit ok for us; it was definitely freshly made, we are not huge fans of spinach to start, so it wasn't a huge surprise. Only real wish, a bigger menu! read more

Best gyros in the city. Mike and Tony whoooo? They're big and delicious, don't forget the baklava!

This is my first time eating here :) I heard around town that this place had awesome gyros so decided to give it a try! Literally I usually eat a gyro once a year mainly at the Oakmont Greek Food Festival due to I could never find a good gyro else where. Well now I have! I ordered the Hercules Gyro which is huge the thing can easily feed 2 maybe 3 people it's loaded with big slices of meat along with fries that have a nice seasoned zing to them (not hot at all). Trust me I'm not dainty girl when it comes to digging in with my hands and getting messy to eat but I had to eat this with a fork and knife bc it was so loaded I couldn't even pick it up! The flavoring was very distinct it has the same ole "gyro" fast but there is something more to it that makes it unique and you can tell it's home made from a family recipe. I also ordered a spanicopita ( hope I spelled it right ) it had a nice flaky crust along with a strong spinach flavor. Cooked very good but nothing to lnow me away. I also notice do they have other goodies there that I will most defined to be trying in the future! Only thing somewhat negative I have to say is I wish I had more sauce on my gyro but you can buy extra if you want, which I should of read more

The customer service is lovely. They always smile and are very welcoming to everyone who comes in. The gyros are as close to Greece as you can get without getting on a plane. There's occasions where you get meat chunks instead of the shaved meat from the gyro cone but I understand that it's what you get when you reach the end of the cone and can't shave anymore. I wish I saw the owner more but I like the staff he has! I also wish there were frappes and soup more often, but as for the food itself it's quite delicious. My favorite is the chocolate baklava cheesecake. The fries are great when they're crispy but you have to say so when you order because different cooks working cook them differently. It's kind of like implementing their own style on the food. Another to note Is that they are very accommodating to your preferences. However it is a small establishment so if you have allergies to something specific that's in the restaurant I doubt they can guarantee that there isn't some MINOR cross contamination. Otherwise I LOVE it! The gyro stamp card is also a nice perk! Buy 6 regular gyros and get a 7th one free is awesome! read more

Everything we tried (gyros, spanakopita, hummus, rice pudding) was delicious and the portions were generous. Equally outstanding was the service where the staff was friendly and attentive to every detail. When in Pittsburgh, you must try. read more

You better have a big appetite for this big boy! Very generous portions and very tasty! There was a lot of gyro meat hiding the yogurt sauce, tomatoes, onions and pita bread! Plus the fries were done just right - light and crispy, the way I like them! My tummy said yummy! :))) read more

When i first came to this little place, the food tasted fresh and pretty good. But my last visit there, a man brought out food that looked like it had been frozen and then stuck it into the display/fridge in the front. Food did not taste as fresh as several months before that. The reason for the one star is that i got sick on the grape leaves, i believe it was,, as they seemed half frozen and they must be adding preservatives now to the food to preserve it longer, as i got very ill, with a sore throat and very upset stomach. This didnt happen before, this must be a new thing now to keep the food longer. I liked the place before when i thought the food was made,fresh but will stay away now, as i dont want to take the chance of getting sick again. read more
