So I was a tourist in Pittsburgh. Even though I had heard that overrated rumors swirling about Primanti Bros, I would be remiss if I didn't at least give it a shot.
I have to say, I actually enjoyed it very much.
We got there a little after noon. I expected it to be wall to wall people with us waiting for forever. Instead, we walked right in and sat down at the counter. Perfect.
I got the capicola and cheese with an egg added on. The first bite was actually surprising because the coleslaw was unlike anything I've had on a sandwich before, but by bite two I couldn't get enough of it. Delicious. The fries and bread are a bit soggy, but it all seems to work.
If and when I go back to Pittsburgh, I'll probably eat here again. Pretty good sandwich. I gave it the extra star because it's a cool experience, even if it is a little touristy.
One thing to be aware of that is incorrect on Yelp as of right now - this place does NOT accept credit cards. Cash only. Be prepared.
