| - When I'm in New York City, I love the delis for sandwiches, but I don't know of too many places like that in Pittsburgh, until I found Oakmont Deli by accident after stopping in Oakmont to visit a clothing store my wife heard about. When we saw the sign that they had hot soup, we thought it would be a fun place to warm up. I was pleasantly surprised by the great food and old school style of this fun deli.
The lunch meat selections are expansive, and are either Boars Head brand, or made in house. They had some cool stuff like sliced ribeye, pulled pork, slabs of meatloaf, and lots of turkey flavors, roast beef pastrami, hams, and other deli standards. They have lots of cheeses, different sliced breads, and many toppings like fresh tomato slices, lettuce, red onions, roasted red peppers, and more. I had a roast beef sandwich on wheat with cheddar cheese, mayo, and lettuce and tomato, and the sandwich was thick, the roast beef was flavorful, and the tomato slices were cut thick. The sandwich was wrapped in white paper with a thick pickle spear (yay pickles!). I paired it with their homemade tomato basil soup, which had big chunks of tomatoes and a tasty sauce like texture. My wife also had roast beef on sour dough bread, and she had French onion soup, which was had a rich beef broth, tasty onions, and thick bread with oozing cheese on top. It was some of the best French onion soup I've had.
Other sides available included coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salads, and more, plus a selection of chips and snacks, and lots of drinks.
Oakmont Deli also sells lunch meat by the pound, as well as specialty sandwiches with lots of meats, cheeses, and toppings. There's lots of other sides, daily soups, and for dessert, gelato. They even have specialty premium steaks, catering services, and select groceries.
Oakmont is always a fun place to visit, and now I have a great place to eat when I'm there.
