 In North Oaklan (Pitt/CMU area) Pizza Pronto on Centre Avenue seems to
 be run by Greeks or Arabs.  I like them a lot, but have yet to try their
 pizza because I like their hoagies so much.  The Mediterrean (sp) pizza
 place on N. Craig is also very good and is also run by people from the
 middle east.  Eatza Pizza on Millvale Avenue is also very good, and
 offers thin, New York, regular and Chicago style pizza--one of their
 crusts is likely to please you.

 Personnally, I wouldn't eat Mineos pizza if it was fed to me by Pierce
 Brosdan and covered with twenty dollar bills.  It is beyond greasy and
 causes severe gastric distress for me.

 Growing up in Michigan, we also had "submarines" rather than hoagies--I
 considered hoagies so strange when I moved here 15 years ago.  The
 Primanti's sandwiches are highly to be recommended, especially if you go
 when they are fairly busy so that the fries on the sandwich are really
 hot and the cole slaw is really cold.
