Pittsburgh Eatery Named One Of Nation's Best Sandwich Shops

PITTSBURGH, PA - It's another honor for one of Pittssburgh's legendary eateries: the Triangle Bar and Grill. Food, drink and travel website Thrillist has named the Swissvale institution one of the nation's 30 best sandwich shops.

Describing the bar as a local legend on par with Fred Rogers and Jerome Bettis, Thrillist heaped as considerable praise on the Triangle and what it called its "sandwich decadence."

"Perhaps no destination this side of the Strip combines two of Pennsylvania's most prized treasures (the dive bar and the giant sub) better than Triangle Bar, " Thrillist raved in its review. "It's is the home of the Battleship: a 27-inch sub loaded with a military-grade assault of provolone, ham, salami, lettuce, tomato and onion -- topped with a heavy pour of oil and vinegar, with more than a few pinches of oregano, salt and pepper.

"For the weak-hearted, the Triangle features a downsized (but still huge) Destroyer and Torpedo, with spins on the original: options like fried chicken, roast beef, meatballs are available in Battleship form."
