We stopped here to get some takeout while touring around. The sandwich was alright. I can't remember the name, but it was a kind of turkey melt with mushrooms. The turkey was the disappointing part of the sandwich - weird flavor. The rest was good!

Oh how I wanted to order the Mazeroski way. (Hubby once asked me if I knew anything about the 1960 world series and I gave him the entire play by play). There are so many good sandwiches on the menu, my mouth was watering. But alas there is covid. Customer base is unreliable as restrictions tighten and loosen. Worse, the food supply costs also go up and down and how can anyone run a small business. Solution..in front of the business a small cart grilling hot sausages, kielbasa and I think hotdogs. OK not my Mazeroski Way but gotta support our small businesses. Hot sausage please. Perfect, the onions and peppers just greasy enough with a little crispness. One of the better hot sausages I have had. He is hoping to be back to normal sometime in October but even if he isnt, stop by for a hot sausage. It's good and your patronage helps our small businesses. I will return to eat around the menu. Unfortunately I dont live in the burgh but I visit, often.

Let it be known only hot sausage & hotdogs ?

Sandwiches are delicious no doubt about it. The service is garbage. Who wants to wait an hour for a sandwich? They rarely pick up the phone too

Don't get me wrong the North Shore Deli use to be my weekly go too! The quality of the sandwiches is what made me get thru my lunch break and the rest of my shift. But it has only gone downhill. RING RING RING half the time I cannot get a response when ordering, from what I thought would be because of how popular and busy the deli is but, that is not the case. Rude customer service & Rude owner! Waiting almost 2 hours for a few sandwiches is UNACCEPTABLE. Being a former manager, I understand the difference between being busy and not give a care in the world. This is where the problems begin with the food quality going down and when there is notably no heart in the once-loved North Shore Deli! Only having an hour lunch break and called prior. I spent MY HARD EARN MONEY today. When questioning the owner, a shrug of "if you can't wait then, don't order" and getting my change thrown in my face is a place that should not get anyone's business. This is not how a business should be run. Busy or not treat your customers with respect for coming to support your business rather than losing them over poor bad service. I use to recommend the deli all the time. NEVER AGAIN!

The food is good, I will give them that. It's cheap too. (Everything but the tuna salad which was deplorable and I don't think I ate tuna for another year after biting into theirs) The service is where they fall completely short. In the past, they have been very slow, half the time they won't even answer the phone if you try and place an order. Someone in my office will usually say, "Going to TRY and order the deli today, if anyone's interested". About 25% of the time they will not answer and everyone gets really sad since they had their hearts set on it. Today though, was the straw that broke the camel's back and we will not be ordering again. We ordered 4 sandwiches over the phone around 11 AM, and they told us it would be an hour. Yes, an hour for 4 sandwiches. Okay, fine, we want the sandwiches, we will wait an hour for them. When we go to pick them up an hour later, we were forced to wait over another 30 minutes for them. When we eventually asked where our order was, they were extremely rude about it, saying we shouldn't have ordered if we didn't want to wait for them. Um excuse me? How about an apology for the hour and a half wait? Nope, nothing. Apparently, the woman who used to work here was the owner's wife and she left him. We're not surprised.

I recently visited family in Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh a lot and have found some very good restaurants there. I heard that the North Shore Deli had good sandwiches, so I went there to try it out. I waited in line like everybody else and placed my order; two Sandusky Street #8 ham and cheese sandwiches. All the people in front of me got their orders before me, which was to be expected and was fine. Then all the people behind me in line got their sandwiches before I did and even all the people who came into the store after I placed my order got their sandwiches before me. It was quite a number of people, most or all of whom were local and seeme3d to know the owner. I then observed the owner telling the guy making sandwiches which orders to fill next and mine was not acted on even though the ticket was prominently displayed. I was respectful and I never complained. After waiting for more than one hour, I decided to leave. I do not know why I was not served in a timely fashion, but I suspect it was because I was identified as a non-local; an outsider. I do not appreciate such intentional bad customer service and I will not be returning.

Great as usual. Been rocking with them since 1999

Get your order in early there is a good reason why they are busy. People are great. The food is amazing the portions are large.
They make the best sandwiches. Stacks of meet. Their anti - pasta salad is delicious.

Great sandwich, # 7, and I like the coleslaw too

Best sandwich anywhere hands down ,

Absolutely ? the best sandwich place in town for the price!! Brings back plenty of great memories growing up on the Northside with all the sandwiches named after streets in local neighborhoods. Everything from hot to cold sandwiches. In a rush, try the quick hot sausage right off the grill with peppers and onions. OMG!
