About Primanti Brothers (Strip District)

The original Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh's Strip District — open since 1933 — is the birthplace of the iconic Pittsburgh sandwich stuffed with coleslaw, french fries, tomato, and meat between two thick slices of Italian bread, and remains the mandatory pre-game meal for Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates fans. The 2 am closing time and the tradition of feeding steel workers, truck drivers, and sports fans alike without distinction makes it one of America's most democratic sports food institutions. Out-of-town fans who experience their first Primanti's are invariably converted into Pittsburgh believers.

Located in Pittsburgh.
