All this girl wanted was a chef salad. Do you know how hard it is to find a chef salad in the south hills?? That's what landed me at The Other Place. We pulled up and placed our order and waited in the car--no place to have a seat and wait here--so ordering ahead would have been better. (But we had been engaged in the married "what do you want to eat?" discussion in the ride home in the car, so our planning was not awesome.) The wait was short (shorter than estimated) and the guys inside were friendly. Husband's hoagie was good, but skimpier than my very meaty/cheesy chef salad. Salad was A+, loaded with "stuff" and the dressing was fresh and nice and cold. (Seemed like a T. Marzetti type bleu cheese.) Salad was huge and definitely big enough for two meals, and it was a mix of fresh, crispy greens (not just iceberg), with no surprise rotten pieces under the unhealthier parts of the salad. If I'm having another salad craving, this would be a good place to return. read more

The Other Place - Chef salad - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place is great!! The other place has no sit down dining but rather carry out or delivery. We had ordered pizza from them for our church's VBS. Not only was the delivery on time but they came in foldable insulated bags with oven style racks inside to keep the pizza nice and hot. You definitely don't want to serve cold pizza to a bunch of kids. They had given us so much that there was enough left over for the volunteers. The pizza was the traditional cheese but came in a box of 12 slices. I had one and boy oh boy this was the best pizza I had in a long time!! It was still piping hot from being in the insulated bags. Since we had extra I brought some home to my husband and he truly enjoyed it. This place is great for not only large groups but for catering to individual needs. Complete with appetizers, calzones, hoagies, lasagna, salad, desserts and more there is something for everyone on your list. I plan to utilize their services again in the near future. The Other place is located on Swallow Hill Road across the intersection leading to the Original Pancake house. Do yourself a favor and try it sometime! read more

Wonderful food! I wanted to try a new local business in the area and I came across this restaurant. I heard good things about it and decided to finally give it a try. Needless to say, it was worth the hype! My boyfriend and I ordered an Italian hoagie, a chicken bacon ranch Hoagie, and poutine to split. We VASTLY under estimated the size of the hoagies! They're HUGE! They're so big that we ate them for 3 separate meals. They use homemade bread for their subs and the ingredients are quality! They have a large selection of other Italian themed menu items and also offer catering services. The Other Place DOES NOT offer indoor dining. There are no table or chairs for sit down dining. The parking lot is somewhat small, but since the restaurant is takeout only, it's a non issue. The gentlemen working the restaurant we're very busy when I walked in, but greeted me with a smile and were very friendly! I will 100% be ordering from the restaurant again! The food is excellent! read more

When I worked at XTREME they would order lunch every Friday for employees we stopped Friday food is the best around if you have not tried The Other Place you need to , you will not be disappointed read more

The absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced. A simple procedure of taking a persons address and phone number was too difficult for them and thus I had to sit and wait a hour and half for a pizza that was never coming ... 3 times I gave the girl on the phone my number. I've tried to like them but their arrogant attitudes and piss poor service is just too much . See ya read more

There's potential here but they need to improve their customer service. They need to revisit their pricing. Their pizza (even though over priced) and breadsticks were good. Hit or miss on the zucchini planks- sometimes has too much breading. The seasoning is great on the planks though- definitely homemade. They should reduce the size of their menu, it's overwhelming read more

Good spot if you're looking for something quick & delicious. No inside seating. Pickup & delivery only. I would recommend 10/10. The Hoagie's are seriously huge, I also really liked the dressing. Everything was very good. read more

Favorite go to for take out Italian. Pizza is great, Subs wonderful, generous portions and super nice staff too!

Really enjoy the pizza and wings. Has become one of our places to get our pizza and wings and salads and hoagies and more. First, the lady at the register is a doll. So sweet and friendly. If you are calling in during prime time on Friday or Saturday don't be surprised to get a busy signal, but keep on trying after a short time. We always get thru and the wait time is usually not to bad. It is take out or delivery and we usually do take out. Only a few parking spaces but not a problem. The wings are very good, better than most. The pizza is a medium crust with a good tasting sauce with a little zing and a nice amount of cheese. Sometimes we have a few leftovers and the pizza heats up in the air fryer or oven is just as good. We have used TOP for small parties or to drop off some food to friends and the pasta and lasagna is very good and the garlic knots are to die for. If you are in the neighborhood, give them a call and have a good meal. read more

I just got the Muffaletta sandwich. It was huge def worth the $11 the ham cuts are nice and thick too. Not heavily cheesed Do wish there was more olive spread. Even liked the Cesar dressing added it was subtle not drenched. Definitely coming back to try something else. Enjoyed this very much. read more

As always, The Other Place received rave reviews from my big Italian Family for the catering they did for my Daughter's First Holy Communion. Food is amazing, well packaged, hot and ready to eat, and eat we did! Sent all my Aunts and Uncles home with leftovers too! I will only use them to cater big events, best Italian catering in the Burgh! Thanks guys! read more

I think they fed the dinosaurs. Portions are extra! Their salads are sharable... almost everything I have ordered is sharable. Experience with any restaurant begins with the staff... hands down. Convince me otherwise. Every encounter from ordering to delivery has been so pleasant. They are your new neighborhood go-to. Seems that the items are all freshly made; crispy veggies, quality ingredients. You will not be left wanting better service or more food! Satisfies all needs. Order history includes steak hoagie, mediterranean salad, grilled chicken salad, large Italian calzone, large meat pizzas. read more

This place has so many good things on the menu and they are reasonably priced! They are a take out or delivery only. So far everything I've had has been great. The pizza is good. The chicken tenders and batter dipped chicken sandwich are two of my go to items. The garlic buns are the best I've had! read more

Great tasting, huge meatballs... and other great Italian food. Can't go wrong here with their food.

ordered pasta today. never again. sauce was terrible. tasted like plain sauce out of a can, no seasoning at all.

Resembling a fortress of red brick, The Other Place sits on a knob overlooking the suburban bustle of Greentree Road. Takeout and delivery are your only options as the interiors barely contain a counter, some stools, and a cash register, let alone a kitchen full of diligent, skilled cooks. As Kay and I awaited an order to eat at home after a session with our chiropractor, I was in awe of these culinary craftsmen, watching them chop, fry, shuffle pizzas in and out of a foreboding, massive oven as if they were pucks, and quickly assemble salads, the flames and angry, spitting grease barely affecting their concentration. These were short order masters at work, and they made their tasks look to be instinctual. What we drove back to Beechview with were a colossus of bread called The Stallion and a flat box full of zucchini strips. Named after characters from the "Rocky" series of films, The Other Place's "Knock 'Em Out Hoagies" are all served on entire (!) loaves of Mancini's bread. When I saw them on the menu, I immediately felt challenged by the one made with Genoa salami, baked ham, pepperoni, provolone, hot peppers, black olives, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Italian dressing. "Yo," it said to me with a New York accent bristling with belligerence. "I bet you can't take me." "I beat bigger sandwiches than you," I snapped back. "Heh. I ain't no Battleship," it said with a casual disdain. "You sure ain't," I replied eyeballing it up and down, setting off a chorus of "ooohhhs." From there, my living room turned into an arena, and soon the Stallion and I circling each other in a tomato-stained boxing ring. Round 1 saw me dominate the crowd favorite, crunching through the chewy, tough bread, and into the layers of spice, heat, oil, and tang, savory and sweet colliding like dueling rams. Densely packed with delicatessen meats, the grinder began to wear on my jaw muscles. I felt sore, swollen, like I'd taken too many jabs. "He's runnin' outta gas," I heard a grizzled, old voice say after Round 3. I would regain my composure after seeing Kay with tears in her eyes upon the conclusion of Round 8 as I contemplated telling the referee "No mas." Someone sounding like Jim Lampley would exclaim "This is a war!!!" in Round 10 when I and The Stallion had to be separated after the bell sounded. My bodyshots were clearly beginning to pay dividends, frustrating the wily veteran. With 45 seconds left in the 12th and final round, I would connect with a beautiful haymaker worthy of a highlight reel, giving the referee ample time to count to 10, ensuring that a timekeeper would not save The Stallion from defeat. A Michael Buffer figure would appear and announce my win as Kay kissed my cheek. I disregarded a shady Don King-like person who claimed he'd "take me to the top" as well as a typically long-winded Larry Merchant analogue who still refused to take me as a serious contender. We would celebrate victory with crispy, wafer-thin boards of consummately fried zucchini. Topped with slightly sharp parmesan crumbles, they were dunked in a tart marinara for maximum enjoyment. "I've fought better. But not many." I told the defeated hero as we exchanged handshakes. "Hey, you know, that's how it is, you know, in this game," my weary adversary said. "Yo, meet my wife. Adrian, get ovah here." Ya wanna eat a REAL zep? Blow off that dorky Fogle kid and head over to that place on the hill. Y'know, The Other Place? And now a word from *ahem* The Stallion itself. "Yo, Richman. I keep seein' you on TV, you know, callin' out these sandwiches. When you gonna come down here and try me? What? You duckin' me?" read more

Excellent food. This is take out only. Food is ready when we go to pick it up. You get large portions and the meat lovers pizza is outstanding. read more

Food is amazing. Deliveries are quick and hot. New favorite place!! Orders are always correct.

I had an experience yesterday. I was charged $10 extra purposely by one of the guys working there . When questioned he pointed to the notice and walked away. My extra charge for using credit card would have been only 92 cents and he charged me $ 9. They basically took $ 9 as their tip without me authorizing it. When questioned another fellow basically told me to shut up and get the credit. I got my credit, however, they treated me like I am a 'dog". Food was good. I will never order anything from The Other place anymore. Hope they will never treat anyone anymore like this. read more

Always a good choice for great pizza. Their specialty pizzas ( chicken bacon ranch, and Bianco) are real good

I order from them pretty regularly because I work near them. The pizza is always good from them. But I ordered a hoagie and a salad and 2 other ppl had salad none of us liked the salad and the hoagie was bread was hard. U called and spoke with the manager and he got nasty with me saying he's been in business for years. And no one else complains. read more

Amazing food and great price. Super friendly staff and fast service. Definitely ordering again!!

OMG! I just had chicken, feta, spinach white pizza...better than... Se...you get the point. Best pizza place around.

My husband and I order food from this shop very often. The food is always very taste and the portions are huge. Our favorites are the steak hoagie, and the chicken fingers. read more

We live so close to The Other Place, I feel guilty that we only order once or twice per month. Their pizza (and calzone) crust is top-notch and stands up pretty well to the heavy doses of toppings they load onto (or into) them. Their sandwiches, hoagies and pastas are also excellent, and they offer a wide variety of sides, soups and appetizers that allow us to branch out and try something new when we're in the mood. Our seven-year-old would live on a steady diet of TOP's giant meatballs and/or chicken fingers if we allowed it. In case you're starting to think this review is too one-sided ... With so many superior options on the menu, I don't really recommend the French fries. If you're ordering fries from The Other Place, you're probably missing out on something better (seriously, just read the menu). Also, the salads are always crisp and veggies fresh, but the house (Greek, maybe?) dressing is a little too oily for my taste. Luckily, we stock a variety of fine dressings at home anyway, so it's no big deal. If you live in the delivery area, do not hesitate to look them up and enjoy their excellent fare! Even our pickiest eaters can find their favorites on TOP's expansive menu. read more

I love ordering from the other place! It's on my way home and I'm in the delivery area! We always get pizza and it's always good! Their wings weren't my favorite but the pizza never disappoints. Delivery or take out only. read more

Not enough meat for the oversize hoagie buns. Good taste thanks to the delicious Italian dressing. Cheese on pizza was so thick that it didn't cook all the way through. Can still see the cheese strings. Overall just average. read more

We love The Other Place. It's our go-to place for pizza and we've been ordering from here for years. Pizza is consistently awesome and the staff and drivers are so courteous and pleasant. Every time I order, it's usually during dinner rush and I know they're super busy, but no one has EVER been abrupt or rude. All-around great place and I'm happy to keep supporting this local business. read more

The Other Place is my favorite place in the entire county for hoagies. The buns are always fresh and tasty. They use generous amounts of meats, cheeses and veggies on every single hoagie we have tried. My absolute favorite is their Steak and cheese hoagie. Their italian dressing is also the best with just the right tangy sweetness. Their staff from the cooks to the people who answer and take the orders and even the delivery drivers are all exceptionally friendly and professional. If you haven't tried a hoagie from the Other Place on Swallow hill rd. You haven't lived! Thank You for reading my review. Sincerely, Michelle from Carnegie read more

Have ordered outstanding pizza, chicken parm and muffuletta but never the fish sandwich. It was outstanding!! Perfectly breaded and seasoned and can be ordered broiled or fried. We had the fried and it couldn't have been better or BIGGER. This will become our "go to" for fish sandwich in the neighborhood. read more
