Pittsburgh, PASandwiches

Wise County Biscuits & Cafe builds substantial sandwiches on flaky biscuits developed during its years as a farmers market stand.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Magazine both document the cafe's move into a permanent Allegheny West home.

Breadbox PGH pairs sandwiches and hoagies with bread and pastries made in house at its East North Avenue bakery.

Pittsburgh Magazine covered the shop among the city's notable newer restaurant openings.

Squirrel Hill Market is a neighborhood grocery and deli where carefully layered sandwiches share space with pantry staples and prepared foods.

Pittsburgh City Paper's current food package recognizes the market within the city's sandwich category.

Carson Street Deli & Craft Beer Bar serves a long menu of cold and grilled sandwiches from its South Side storefront. Generous fillings, vegetarian choices, and a deep local beer list make it equally useful for lunch or an unhurried evening stop. Pittsburgh City Paper's readers coverage names the deli among the city's sandwich destinations.

Driftwood Oven uses its naturally leavened bread for sandwiches that receive the same attention as its pizza. Crisp crust, open crumb, house condiments, and carefully chosen fillings produce combinations that change with the kitchen's sourcing.
