We love peppi's. Fresh and made to order, we had the steak egg and cheese. Reasonably priced and has an old school vibe. Reminds us of places on the board walk.
Coming from a Clevelander.....WOW. If I could just leave a review at just saying WOW... Very solid place to grab lunch. All I can recommend is the #7 Rothlesburger. Place is almost like a diner and has a ton of personality and history. Any sub I've had here has been great but I keep going back to the #7. I usually eat one there and take one for the road back to Cleveland. Guys behind the counter giving and taking shots at Cleveland and that's what makes it fun. This place will always be my go to when I leave the Burg and head home.
I would describe Peppi's sandwiches as subway just cheaper, much better, and more options. The employees are all incredibly friendly, and despite being alone made it feel like I was out to lunch with some friends. When it comes to the food itself the sandwich was awesome too. Everything from the bread to the meat and toppings was all delicious with balanced amounts(I find a lot of places just load it up with things like lettuce). The cheese was perfectly melted too and just an overall great experience for a quick lunch stop. I'll definitely be back to try some more of their signature items like their cheesesteaks.
Very unique Roethlisberger sandwich... The BREAD amazing!!! ... soooo chewy and crunchy it's perfect ... the sandwich gives a cheeseburger vibe but with sausage in it !!! Very unique.. also got the fries with the Cajun seasoning .. and NO the Cajun seasoning is not salty which I absolutely loved!! Service is fast and friendly !!... will definitely be back if I make it back to Pittsburgh in the near future!!
Always awesome! Thanks Lou, great visit, as always good seeing you ant the Peppi's Team in the Strip.
Peppi's is a classic institution in Pittsburgh. You want a true hogie...go to Peppi's. This location is small and it's constantly busy. You can dine in or order to go and they also offer pick-up. Go with a classic like the "cathedral" - ham, turkey, bacon and provolone cheese (get it warm for an extra kick). They also serve the classic Pittsburgh salad, with shaved beef and french fries on lettuce. I had more than one person eyeing my salad! Located in the heart of the strip district - there is only street parking available and it can be a challenge.
Great sandwiches. The prices are super fair and the sandwiches themselves are great. Loved the cheese steak and the joey porta bella was great. It mutt seem like an odd combination having horseradish in a cheese steak but it works so well. The staff was also super nice and welcoming, cracking jokes the whole time. Fair warning if you don't finish your sandwich they'll wrap it up for you but they'll also ring a bell announcing to everyone that "we've got a quitter!" Haha so best to finish that sandwich!
A strip district staple and a classic place to get a sub. Food (3/5): It is hard to beat a loaded up sub on a Mancini's bun. With Mancini's right next door, the buns are always fresh. That is probably the best part of the sub these days. The loaded up part falls short, however, which is a shame. I ordered the #7 Roethlis"burger. The sausage and beef combination is a blend of flavor and textures. The egg and American cheese are nice complements. Service (5/5): The guys working the counter and the grill are engaging and funny. It seems they enjoy being there and it adds to the environment. There is not service once you sit down but they will bring your food out and ask if you need anything else. Price (4/5): Most subs are around the $10-$12 range which is a good deal. You will pay that at Subway these days and these are much better than that.
Stopped here on NYE for lunch. Located in the strip district, unless you have a proper plan for parking, finding a spot may be tricky. We stay in the strip district so we walked. No real frills to this place - obviously a strictly focused attention to the food - outdated decor and discolored walls and decor means the food is going to be gas. Ordered a Pittsburgher and shared fries. It has been maybe 10 years? since I've ordered a cheeseburger sub? Worth the wait bc this one was great. Ordered mine with grilled onions, LT, and chipotle mayo for an extra kick. They had a line but still only took 10 minutes to come out. Fries are boardwalk style - peanut oil with that trust cut look. Would recommend here every time. Very good.
This was on the list of things to try and so we did. I think the sub I chose was my first mistake and really wish I would've gotten the pittsburgher instead got the classic cheese steak figuring I couldn't go wrong any way. Nothing too much to report negatively, all went smooth - ordered, drinks, etc. and ate and left. I think my steak sub was good - almost though like it was missing something for this condiment queen. I would've put mayo on this like a comforter on a bed. Fries were good and I always like little places that have so much reputation. Will recommend. Although, I think people already know.
Casual dive sandwich spot. Service is great here, very energized. Definitely grimy in there, but if you can get past that the sandwiches are great. Ordered a steak sandwich with blazin sauce and cajun seasoning with hot peppers. Flavor was fantastic. Will come back.
The food tastes good but they should be called Breadgie. They are dominated by the bun with barely any meat. The shrinkflation that has taken place here is a shame. Last time for me.

Anytime I am craving a great sandwich, my go to is Peppi's! I love the Italian and Steak sub varieties. You can get mostly any sandwich custom made. Peppi's is quick, affordable, and has that old school charm that keeps bringing me back. Love the fries and friendliness here. Bonus points is to get a sub to go and bring it in to a Pirate game or Steelers Tailgate read more
Peppis is quintessential Pittsburgh. It's been years since I've been to this location. My family arrived around 4:30 on a Tuesday (they close at 5). Everyone at the counter was extremely friendly and inviting. I had a steak and eggs hoagie, both of my sons had a cheesesteak, and my wife had a cold Italian sub. All of us had fries. Food came out pretty quickly and was very tasty. Nothing better than the sandwiches being served on a Mancinis roll. If you want a true taste of Pittsburgh, Peppis is definitely a significant part of it. There are no frills here but a solid sandwich experience! read more

This place feels like your small hole-in-the-wall neighborhood sandwich joint, but it's a chain! Kind of a narrow entryway when you walk in, they prepare the subs on the other side of the counter. Further in, there's seating and they have TVs playing. The staff are super welcoming and friendly. They have tons of options on their menu. We tried the #7 ("Roethlisburger") - a sausage and burger juggernaut topped with an egg. We also tried the Santucci (#27) - Italian meats with peppers, mushrooms and onions. We ordered both without cheese. Both subs were super delicious! If I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably go with the Santucci. Just overall delicious sub. Both were great though. Big portions too, a full sub will definitely leave you feeling full! read more
Ummm I might be Peppi's number one fan? Every where else we were trying to go in the Strip was PACKED, so we stumbled into Peppi's as kinda a last resort. Booyyyyy am I glad we did. Classic Pittsburgh sandwich shop with lots of classic options and some other unique options to choose from! We settled on a classic steak sandwich and a chicken bacon mushroom sub- both were perfect. From the bread, to the quality of the meat, to the toppings, everything was so spot on. The workers were friendly and delightful- fun vibe from them all as you order at the counter and then deliver your food. Everything about this place makes you feel like your in the heart of the Strip District in Pittsburgh, and I just can't explain it any other way. Everything about our experience was phenomenal and I can't wait to be back! read more

originally planning to dine nearby, based on a recommendation for sandwiches, we pulled an audible when I considered getting myself a sandwich without bread would basically just be a salad, so I should opt for a place famous for their salads instead....& so I discovered the famous 'Pittsburg Salad' inside & outside both gave a delightful neighborhood vibe- waiting to order we were entertained by the friendly banter the staff had with their customers, so much fun in fact we decided to eat in instead of taking to-go Hubby opted for the famous No.7 sandwich & I got my Pittsburg Salad (requesting the house special blazin'sauce from another sandwich as my dressing-highly recommend) church bench seating, deli ticket counter number system with food brought to the table- the food was absolutely delicious- both loaded with ingredients, well-seasoned, so much juicy flavor- the fries were perfectly crispy- I felt like I inhaled the massive portions-just could not stop eating would recommend, would frequent if we lived closer read more

Who doesn't like a Sub, lol. My partner and I stumbled on this place and it was pretty tasty! It was very busy when we went so the wait was a bit long but we both had the Sicilian and it was good. Had we known how huge they were we could have shared! The menu is huge though so it was very hard to choose and we'll have to try some more. read more

Food: Probably the best sandwiches in the strip in my opinion. I'm partial to the #7 with the addition of cherry pepper relish to it. They've got a deep menu that has something for everybody Service: Always treated well there, and they always get my take out orders correct Ambiance: It's not fancy, but that's part of the charm to it. Overall: My favorite sandwich spot in the strip which has a lot of great food. A place my out of town friends ask to go to when they come to town because they love to visit! read more

The Food and the service were fantastic! For a small storefront, they had plenty of seating for singles and groups! I would definitely go there again! read more
One of the few opened lunch spots on the strip that didn't have a tremendous wait. I ordered a sausage provolone sandwich and my husband a pizza steak sub, We asked for some of the inside bread to be torn out. The inside bread was not torn out, I removed some of the excess bread & didn't have much meat inside; it was mostly bread. Sandwiches weren't very tasty, not much flavor. My hands & feet swelled up terribly afterwards from all the salt! There's a soda fountain and we enjoy some ice cold water and comfortable seats. Very reasonable prices all of this subs for under $10 and most that were in the fall of fame as well. There are two other Pepsi's in Pittsburgh, one another on the Northside and the third on Point Breeze. read more
I'm a semi-regular at peppi's on the north side, but surprisingly, first time at this location in the strip district. Pretty equally efficient. Sandwich was consistent to what I often get at the other location. The santucci is a great take on an Italian and you have to say "of course" when asked if you want the hot pepper relish on it. Friendly staff. Delicious subs. In my personal internal struggle against uncle Sam's subs, I give them a tie on their take on steak subs but Peppi's wins on the Italian side of things. read more

Santucci. Loved it. Very flavorful and the right amount. So happy I came here instead of primanti brothers. Staff was super nice. I got some chipotle Mayo on the side that really set it off! read more

I was in Pittsburgh for a conference and wanted something quick but filling and Peppi's was the best. The employees were extremely friendly and created a welcoming environment. They wrapped up the other half of my sub so I could take it with me and checked in to make sure we were enjoying. Prices are super fair and I would definitely come back if i'm in the area read more
