Dibella’s Old Fashioned Submarines

Hands down best wing place in the city Matt does a great job and all three places been verified I’ve been here all three of them great places

I had DiBella’s catering boxed lunches, and they were amazing! I can’t say enough about the bread as it was so flavorful and most importantly fresh! I tried an old-​fashioned sub with their oil dressing, and that in itself was fantastic. As if all of that weren’t enough, I topped everything off with their chocolate chip cookie! I highly recommend this place and will look for DiBella’s wherever I travel.

One of the best subs I’ve ever had! Not the first time I’ve been here, and it’s always great. Friendly people, fresh ingredients, and just a great experience start to finish! I know a couple reviewers complained about price, but the bread is fresh, the quality is exceptional, and the portions are huge, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s an exceptional value.

I finally had a chance to stop in here over the weekend to find out what their subs were all about and to see what makes them old-​fashioned.
The old-​fashioned connection for me was the vintage décor of the dining room and the huge high counter where your order is taken. Other than that I am not sure if it has anything to do with the subs. Curious to know differently.
I thought the sub was decent in size and tasted OK but it didn’t stand out as anything different or unique. The bun was good-​tasting but it was very oversized in comparison to the ingredients inside. I couldn’t even see if there was any cheese on the sandwich and I barely could taste any of the steak because it was all overpowered by the bread.
I am not sure if it is worth another visit or not.

Not perfect and a little pricey depending on what you get but the quality is there. There bread is delicious. The meats and veggies are fresh. All around rather go here for a hoagie than anywhere else. Yummy!

Dibella’s has quite possibly the best subs in the area. When you walk in their ordering is streamlined. Their staff asks direct questions and gives you a number for your order and shuffles you along. My cheesesteak was the best cheesesteak I have had in a long time. Their bread is soft and fresh and the entire sandwich was awesome. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back. I live about 20 minutes away but it’s worth the drive.

For a cheap, quick and REALLY good meal go here. Their subs are delicious. I read a review that said DiBella’s is a step above your standard Subway chain. I HIGHLY disagree with this. I think this place is leaps and bounds above Subway. It’s apples and oranges. They make very very good submarines.

Best sub in Pittsburgh, hands down. I like their turkey sub and let me tell you, their mayonnaise is the best I have ever had and I love mayonnaise. One more thing, their homemade cookies are amazing! Best sub shop in town!

When fresh, their sub rolls can’t be beat. I’ve gone on a couple of occasions where the bread was either overcooked or day-​old, but for the most part I’ve not had many problems here. I typically order the cheesesteak with all the fixings or get a turkey and bacon sub — and love the fact it’s thick cut bacon.
One thing to ALWAYS order here: the chocolate chip cookie. Honestly, it’s one of the best recipes I’ve ever had. Glad there are a bunch of convenient locations including Market Square, North Hills and Cranberry as we go here fairly frequently.

I came here a few years ago with a friend for the first time and tried to recreate my favorite subway sandwich. I substituted roast beef for subways steak and had all the same toppings. sadly, dibellas didn’t compare to subway, and I never went back until recently.
about a month ago my boyfriend finally convinced me to go with him and try half of his sandwich, and he swore I’d love it. normally, I’m very stubborn and difficult and SUPER picky on new foods, but I went and ultimately ate half of his large turkey sandwich with lettuce and extra mayo on plain bread. (same as what he gets at subway, our former go-​to dinner place.) since that amazing day, I’ve gone to dibellas at LEAST 6 times per week. no exaggeration. I’m a senior in high school juggling multiple jobs and I’m never home to eat food so I’m always grabbing fast food. (disclaimer: I only weigh 107 so my metabolism is pretty sweet). I absolutely LOVE. THIS. PLACE. im literally pulling into the parking lot as I finish this review. I honestly wish I tried this sandwich years ago. it’s amazing.

Best sandwich chain around. This location is fast and delicious. Just ignore the terrible IHOP next to it.

Bread is good when it’s FRESH! They try hard to have a local neighborhood non-​chain feel but failed. Maybe it’s my bias and believing chain hoagie joints are a disgrace. If you enjoy hoagies from a local deli then this is not the place for you. Sandwiches are all bread with no meat or veggies. Very disappointing when I paid 12 bucks for a sandwich that could’ve been better constructed by a 6 year old.

It was pretty awesome

First time at dibella’s and I am a huge fan! Customer service was good, the wait wasn’t long and the sub was fantastic.
Definitely will be back. Loved it.

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday and this place is busy! Holy cow! Lots of tables to sit at if you would like to eat in, but I was weary from class and for it to go.
I ordered the godfather grilled with peppers and onions on the everything bread. I’m a huge fan of everything bagels and this bread was fantastic. I was a huge fan and would definitely order it again!
The meat was generous, service was friendly, sub was delicious! I will say I think they forgot my peppers and onions but it’s on cause it was just that good.
Not to mention that they carry those delicious jalapeño chips that are just the best thing to have ever happened to chips! I would definitely return!

These are the best subs in the area!!! They offer a ton of food for the price. Their rolls are baked in house daily and are always amazingly fresh. They offer plenty full amounts of meat and toppings on just a regular sandwich. They offer cold and grilled options. They even offer catering that makes feeding many people at any office lunch meeting or just a party at your home very easy. And I can not overstate THE AMAZINGNESS Of these subs.

Love their meatball hoagies. Be aware that these things are BIG. A large will probably feed three adults. Their bread is delicious and the right balance between crusty and soft. I’ve only tried one of their sides, the potato salad, and it didn’t knock my socks off. However, every sandwich I’ve had has been consistently delicious!
The restaurant is counter service and then if you are eating in, they will bring your food to you. Very pleasant employees and always very clean inside. Love the feel of the old school tiled floors and big booths. Will definitely be coming back again and again!

Ughhh. The 3.5 star review dilemma. Guess I’ll round up today.
Dibella’s subs is a step above your standard Subway chain. Pittsburgh doesn’t really have delis or other sub shops, like Potbelly’s, everywhere so I think this location should do really well. If there was some actual competition, I think I’d go somewhere else.
The bread is fresh and delicious, and it’s pretty much the highlight of the sandwich. I ordered the Godfather sub, which seemed like a safe bet. The meat is fried, which makes it SO greasy. So when they lather on the mayo and oil, despite asking for light, it’s a little revolting. It’s not that I watch what I eat, but I actually don’t like the feeling of my arteries clogging while I eat. My acid reflux was so annoyed, and I had no desire to finish my whole sub. But you just can’t lie, it still tasted really good.
Only other complaint was that it feels a little grimy.

Great place for families and people on the go.
You stand at the counter and order your sub. The prices are good. For 6 dollars I got a small sub a cookies and a drink. The sub was enough to feed two people (if your into portion control). After ordering you can sit down with your assigned number and an employee will bring your food to your table.
I got the steak and cheese sub that day. The bread was baked fresh and delicious. There was a ton of steak and the cookies were delicious. There is plenty of seating here too. The service is very quick.
They also cater here too.

Dibella’s is a great sandwich place. The subs are delicious. Lots of options when it comes to bread, cheese and condiments. But more importantly, everyone here is friendly and helpful. Even when things get busy the employees don’t lose their cool.
I’ve tried a few of their sandwiches, but I always come back to the Godfather. It’s what they are famous for and after eating one you understand why. Those cookies aren’t bad either.
I was happy to see this location open in the North Hills and even happier that it is staffed with pleasant people offering outstanding customer service with a solid product. I’m pleased to have this Dibella’s close to home.
