| - Pirmanti's is excellent if you acknowledge what it is going in. Cheap, plentiful food and cheap beer. If you expect anything more from it--good service or creative menu, you might find yourself being disappointed.
There is something about eating a huge sandwich that can suffice for an entire meal (or two) that is kind of fun. Plus, no one looks elegant while eating one of these sandwiches. Consider them your own personal equalizer. Plus, their beer is pretty cheap and the salt and grease in the sandwiches can make you pretty thirsty. However, the service, at all of the locations I have visited, leaves a little something to be desired. Ranging from slightly bad to willfully rude.
Downton location only takes cash, so beware! The Market Square location is great for people watching, but truly horrendous service. The more suburban locations pretty much feel like your average sports bar, so you're really only going for the sandwich at this point, not the experience.
If you do go to Pittsburgh, it's totally a must. Just don't expect it to be anything it isn't.
