Peppi's

Take out only ☹️ but all good. Staff very friendly, food excellent as always

By far Pittsburghs best hoagie shop, cheesesteak and hot Italian are by far best I’ve had. Fries are fresh cut n super crispy , prices reasonable, best in the burg!!!

For years I had longed to take on the RoethlisBurger, but Peppi's hours aren't the most convenient for me. That is until a Saturday evening at Altar Bar with Icarus Witch and Kamelot caused Kay and I to track down dinner in the Strip District. And there it was, Peppi's. And they were...open? "Yeah, 'til 8PM," a guy behind the counter said. "But the sign says..." "Oh, ignore that. What'll it be, man?" Kay was frightened of the RoethlisBurger, so when I ordered it, she ran to The Clown across the street. After the fellow took my order, I was given a ticket, and was told to sit down and relax. As I waited, I took in the surroundings, gazing at the sports memorabilia and photos of patrons both ordinary and famous. Just as hunger pangs assailed my belly, there it was, enveloped in a paper plate in front of me: A homonculous of loose meat a la Maid-Rite gone malevolent. Ground beef, hot sausage, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, scrambled eggs, and 'Merican cheese were all packed into a bread that was as flaxen as a Valkyrie and as airy as the morning mist. Upon doing some research I've found that it is called a Portuguese Roll, and it is pulchritudinous. This behemoth of a breakfast sandwich dazzled my tongue with its spice, filled my stomach amply with its bulky, chunky proteins, and soothed me with its fresh, fundamental vegetables, all of it held together with that amazing roll of rolls that threatens to make Italian bread passe via its sublime texture alone. 'Tis the greatest sloppy joe to ever emerge from a steaming flattop. P.S. I found nothing "shabby" or "greasy" or "dirty" or "loud" about Peppi's. The service was friendly, the restaurant itself was clean, the atmosphere was quiet, and the sandwich was triumphant. If Primanti Brothers has a true parallel, it is Peppi's. One half of a Roethlis-Burger. I ate the first half and realized I didn't snap a pic.

Ordered 3 different cheesesteaks, everybody loved them. Better than anything I can get back home! There is no eating at the restaurant due to COVID and the restrooms are out of order. Everything was very straightforward: come in, order food, get out. Last order goes in at 7:30 PM. Normally I would knock off a point for the interior but the food was so good it doesn't matter.

I have ordered 4 times in the past 2 months from the Point Breeze location. My favorite sandwich so far is the mushroom cheesesteak, with grilled onions and mayo. The bread is fresh everyday, no day old bread from Mancini’s. They tell me 15 minutes every time I call and I have not had to wait a single minute for my food. The customer service is top notch and seems like they’re doing a good job keeping it clean. Thank you for the good experience, I’ll will be a returning customer.
