New York Super Subs — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Good place to get a quality satisfying sandwich. I believe there was a location in Fox Chapel, but when I visited, it was closed. The Squirrel Hill location has many of the classic sandwiches, like Ruebens, Cheese, chicken Florentine, meatball, among others. I decided to try their cheesesteak sandwich (not the sub), their eclair, and the cannoli.

I thought the sandwich was good, but a bit pricy. Their cheesesteak sub is probably a better deal, and you can get in a 1 ft or 2 ft (super) size. The meat was a good texture, but I would have liked a bit more cheese. The bun was nice and fluffy, soaked with steak juice on the bottom. Good amount of tasty mushrooms. You can also get the sandwich on a croissant. It was served with a tiny portion of coleslaw, which was tasty but way too minuscule. I also ordered a pickle wedge as one of my sides, but did not receive it.

They have an in-house bakery from what I am aware of. They pride themselves on their cannolis, but I found the vanilla to be very average. It was not a very crispy shell. The filling was bland and just vaguely sweet. It tasted almost like whipped cream. Nothing special.

The eclair was similarly only okay. The filling on the inside (custard) was very good. But, the chocolate topping was not thick enough. And, the eclair dough was standard, almost cakey. Probably not worth $4; I've had better at the Oakmont Bakery. This place also makes cookies, brownies, shortcakes, and other desserts.

All in all, New York Super Subs probably can't compare to the New York delis. They make fairly good sandwiches, and they may be a good food stop if you like big sandwich (and are willing to pay the price). Their baked goods aren't anything special but are...

I ordered a few times before. Cooks make lower east side burger differently each time. No consistency. But it's Ok. But the last time I ordered they never offered me choices of side salad, I saw them put pickles. Only when I asked them they changed to what I wanted (coleslaw and potato salad). That's done and I went to my car and opened it up. The burgers didn't have lettuce and onion that supposed to come with it. It was just bun, burger and cheese. So I went back and asked for lettuce and tomato. The 1st guy asked the 2nd guy something (I could't hear). The 2nd guy just shook his head. I assume he said "I didn't put lettuce and tomato in his burger). If that's true, why? I can only think that he was careless/lazy/or...I do not want to say the last possibility. The 1st guy then gave me some lettuce and tomato in separate container. So am I the cook now? I suppose to put the lettuce and tomato by myself? I took it anyway. He did apologize. The second guy didn't (He was the one who "refused" to serve me when I ordered too - he was at the counter and I was there, could have taken my order but chose not to..I wonder why? Oh well, I leave it up to...

I've only ordered there once and I can confidently say that if I'm going to eat out while in Squirrel Hill, I'll be ordering exclusively from New York Super Subs. No I'm not a friend of the owner. No I don't know anyone there. I have no stake in writing such a positive review. I've worked in the area for a while now and order out way more than I should. Of all the places I've eaten this one really stands out. The ingredients are top notch, the food wasn't hastily thrown in the container, the owner was friendly, and to top it off my order was made on time. To sum it up...I just like good food that's priced really well and that was obviously made with care. This place has a great menu with great prices and the food is excellent. So stop reading and...
