I would have recommended Rhoda's in Squirrel Hill but they are now Kazansky's and I haven't tried them yet. I hear the quality is the same if not better. Are you looking for a sandwich to eat there or just to buy some corned beef to take home and make your own sandwich? Rhoda's had the best corned beef I ever ate but their restaurant sucked. Kazansky's may be better. Anyway, they are on Murray in Sq. Hill. I don't know the address but you can find that out when you get here. Speaking of good places that aren't there anymore - do you remember the Gazebo in Shadyside? I really mourned its passing - they had the best Reuben's and Rachel's. :-( Kate Kate Connally " If I were as old as I feel, I 'd be dead already."

Pittsburgh, PA
deli's in Pittsburgh
Primanti Bros. restaurants are a Pittsburgh institution. Their sandwiches have been reviewed in the NY Times, on TV, radio and a few magazines. They have a handful of restaurants scattered throughout the city. The one in the Strip District is open 24 hrs. (which comes in handy, since I have out of town friends who insist on making this their first stop after picking them up at the airport). Another, located in South Side is called Primanti Bros. Blues Cafe and features some of the best bands in the area (it's not real big and the crowds some bands draw can make it feel claustrophobic). They now have 2 web sites: Primanti Brothers Home Page and Primanti Bros Blues Cafe Home Page . Keep one thing in mind: your arteries are on their own. No one will ever confuse this place with a health food store. The sandwiches are pretty much made one way and Primanti's is not a deli.

Primanti's in the strip is on 18th St. between Penn Ave. & Smallman St. It's just around the corner from Wholey's Fish Market and Roland's.
