Well, here they are, so get a little adventurous and go take apart one or all of these great Pittsburgh sandwiches. This epic sandwich adventure will definitely put a punch in your Pittsburgher card.
Steel City Samiches Bar & Grille
Indiana, PA
Meet the Stuffaluffagus, a giant sandwich made up of over 5-pounds of meat, cheese, fries and coleslaw on an entire loaf of Italian bread. It was recently featured by Casey Webb of Food Network's Man vs. Food.
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.
Check out some of these crazy sandwiches fatheads has to offer:
Southside Slopes

Wedding Crasher
House-smoked meatloaf glazed in chipotle ketchup, onion crisps, American cheese, pickles and chipotle mayo.
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
Oakland (Pitt Campus)
South Side
Market Square
Try the Kielbasa and Cheese Primanti Sandwich with a Basket of Smallman Street Fries.
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.
Eat up, Pittsburgh!

Thrival Innovation
"Thrival Innovation addresses key challenges and opportunities relevant to our local, national, and international ecosystems. It is part platform and part convening power. As a platform, Thrival Innovation offers unique, accessible, and thought-provoking programming that draws inspiration from Pittsburgh's fast-evolving startup landscape. It celebrates new ideas and examines pressing trends and developments. As a convening power, Thrival Innovation brings together industry experts, creatives, entrepreneurs, and the generally curious from around the world to explore pressing issues that affect us all."
Thrival Music
"Music is a universal language that brings us together. As one of two key components of the Thrival Innovation + Music Festival, Thrival Music follows two days of innovation-focused programming (Thrival Innovation) and welcomes tens of thousands of festival goers for a unique live music experience. An extension of the pioneering ideas and creativity celebrated during Thrival Innovation, the festival's live music experience brings festival goers to a gritty, authentic, and one-of-a-kind Pittsburgh venue who then come together as a community. Thrival Music features a stark contrast of new sound and a rustic industrial setting with a penchant for creative placemaking, and dedicates itself to fostering a new sense of identity that respects the past and embraces the future. As a result, our community turned a mill back on, but instead of producing steel, we produce culture."
