Fat Heads Saloon
Fat Heads Saloon on the South Side of Pittsburgh is sandwich paradise. Here is a place where the sandwiches are called Headwiches because they are almost the size of your head. There are over 20 Headwiches on the menu along with 15 other sandwiches to choose from. Another bonus about Fatheads Saloon is that it has a huge tap wall full of craft beer to choose from including its own brewed beer. With so many beer choices to compliment your feast, you can't really go wrong.

Primanti Brothers
If you are looking for a really crazy sandwich experience, then head to Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh. The sandwich is pretty much royalty in Pittsburgh and to those who first set their eyes on it can't believe what they are seeing. The sandwich is stacked high with meats, eggs and cheeses and topped with slaw cabbage, tomatoes and french fries! History tells us that the sandwich was originally created for overnight truckers that were delivering their goods to Pittsburgh's Strip District. The fast and hearty meal was once wrapped in newspaper as a take away dinner. The Primanti Brothers sandwich has been featured on Bizarre Foods America with Andrew Zimmern and on Man vs. Food with Adam Richman. Can you handle the challenge?
There are four Primanti Brothers locations within Pittsburgh to choose from:
The Original - Strip District

Robert Wholey's & Co. Fish Market
If you are looking for one of the best fish sandwiches in Pittsburgh then you need to visit Wholeys in the Strip District. In Pittsburgh, Wholeys is renowned for fresh fish and for over 100 years the wholesaler has been doing it right. There is always a line for the kitchen at Wholeys and most folks are eye-balling the huge deep fryers where their 1/2 pound batter dipped Icelandic cod sandwiches are cooked. If you are up for an adventure order the Wholey Whaler, which is 1 pound of batter dipped wild caught whiting on a Mancini bun. Wholeys has appeared on Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods America with Andrew Zimmern.
