Another great addition to the North Hills Block area and another blast from my past in Columbus! That's right! Another one of my favorites found it's way to Pittsburgh soon after I moved here. I'm not saying it's me, but I'm happy for whatever the reason may be. Jason's Deli is a quick and fast eat in or take out joint that offers a number of delicious deli sandwiches ranging from traditional Paninis, Clubs, and Wraps to more specialized Muffalettas (Olive based spreads). You can even build your own sandwich if you like. They also have a number of salads and an extensive salad bar with plenty of options and a few Pasta dishes. And don't forget the soup. Then there is everyone's favorite...free ice cream!!!
They option I typically go for is the Manager's Special which is any half sandwich with your choice of chips along with either soup or one trip to the salad bar for about $10 after tax. You can really load up on the salad bar and the sandwich portions are fairly large so a half will be fine for a nice lunch. I'm a fan of the Pastrami with Swiss and Spicy Mustard and the Ham/Salami Muffaletta. It's all been good so pick what fits your fancy!
The staff is very helpful and attentive. Almost too attentive though. I was greeted as I entered and the menu was explained in detail even though I had been there before. Once I sat and my food was brought out, I was asked by 3 different people if I was doing okay or needed anything. While I appreciate it, I also just wanted to eat. All in all, I'd say the trade off was worth it. Oh, and if you don't want to go in, there is a drive-thru and you can order online.
