All I ever get is the steak with American cheese with onions and mushrooms. They ask if you want tomatoes mayo and lettuce. Have no idea why, that stuff should never be on a cheese steak sandwhich. Anyways, much better than Primanti's for a cheese steak. primanti's you go to if you want say a steak hoagie (which is not steak but actually one of those rectangular seasoned beef patties on a hoagies roll. Get that at Primantis with a fried egg, and fries and slaw, and you got a good sammy). For a cheese steak, this is the only place in Pittsburgh to go. Peppi's.

Why do I say that you ask? Let me explain.. I was walking down Smithfield during my Friday lunch, which is later than my lunch during the rest of the week I 'm realllllly hungry! I head down to Peppi 's after hearing so many people rave about it. While walking into Peppi 's I think I took a step back in time because every worker is literally jamming to Funky Town I 'm at a dive sandwich shop. All of the workers were extremely friendly happy (what 's your secret?! I need to know! The cheese steak was delish I 'm pretty excited that I can get grilled onions without an awkward up charge. A cheese steak, fresh cut fries a drink comes to around $8-9.. extremely reasonable. I ended up only eating half of the hoagie enjoyed the rest later in the day. The staff were chatting joking with me again as I was leaving. I must say for a lunch by myself I laughed a great deal during that hour. I 'll be back!

Thanks to Peppi's, I won't be eating anything that isn't ready-to-eat as is (like fruit) for the next few days. Not only does the shop LOOK grimey, it IS grimey... Completely disgusted.

Stopped in for the lunch combo of the cheese steak (melted provolone and onions, and I added lettuce tomato and mayo no charge) with fresh cut fries and a medium drink for under $10. Delicious and filling! As soon as I walked in the guy said he 'd be right with me. Good attitudes and good vibes. The cooks and employees were in a great mood (the music def helps) and they were kind. Service was great. Food is great. The inside is what you 'd expect in your local downtown Pittsburgh sub joint. If you want to listen to good jams and fill up on good eats stop in Peppi 's.

The staff is super friendly. They are helpful and patient. The Italian Regular is great. I usually get it grilled and their dressing is awesome. They have a great deal for lunch during the week. 6 inch sub with a soda for about $8. Yum.
