Pittsburgh food menu?

billiburrows

we are having out of town guests visit us and i am going to host one evening.  I'm trying to plan a 'pittsburgh menu' for dinner.  what are some options???

some ideas i've had so far:

-food on mancini's bread (meatballs hoagies?) or order hoagies from Triangle Bar

-fried fish from Wholey's (not sure how that will be re-heated though...)

-Pgh steak or chicken salad (fries on top)

-local beers

-local dessert (Prantils and or Jean Marcs)

 

any other ideas?

You could make a "Primanti" style sandwich.  Or pierogies?  There are some really awesome places around town that make fresh from scratch pierogies for take out.

I was thinking pierogies too. I was going to suggest the Polish Pierogi food truck, but apparently they're on vacation until February, so that won't help unless they're coming in after February 3rd.

Klondike's for dessert?  The salted caramel pretzel ones are surprisingly delicious.

You can't go wrong with the ideas already listed so I'm just trying to think of things not mentioned yet.

You could get a pierogi pizza from a local pizza shop.  I know Michaels in the South Side and Aiello's both do them.

Penn Brewery Nut Roll is out right now and it is so good.  Especially served with a brown sugar and cinnamon rim.

Pizza from fiori's?

I would get the lobster soup at Wholey's, versus the fish sandwiches - they would be hard to reheat. Lobster rolls from Roland's are very good, too.

Yummm!!
