The Italian Bread Place & Deli

So I have been here three or four times now and I keep forgetting to take a picture to add because I eat the food so fast I don’t think to give it a review until I’m already done this sandwich is so good. I order the Coliseum on hoagie bun with just ham and provolone it’s so good that it makes you want to slap your grandmother. Its got the right blend of bread and meat some places have too much bread I hate that and the bread doesn’t cut the roof of your mouth when it’s toasted that’s a plus. I can’t say anything bad about the service sandwich takes about 5 minutes. There are always some homemade cookies or something that you can impulse buy. I like the kind of place you pick your own drink. They have parking out front that’s nice sometimes the whole mood is spoiled when I can’t park my truck there’s a lot of places I want to eat but because of lack of parking I don’t go there. now on the deli side I have never used the deli. It looks fantastic though. I think that I would like it but I work such long hours that the food would probably spoil in my refrigerator so I try not to get pounds or half pounds of food me if I wanted to I would go there. If you’re looking for a good hoagie or a sandwich this is the place I made sure I went more than once because sometimes a place to keep a good front but eventually they get exposed I give the Italian bread place 5 stars.

Love the sandwiches & u gotta try the pumpkin roll when it is in season. I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten for lunch!

It took over 25 min to order catering over the phone for 2 days. The lady on the phone kept saying their computer system is very slow and she didn’t know how to use it. It was painful. Food quality and prices were good.

It seems like most of the reviews are for the deli. I go there for the bread any time I’m in the area. I grew up in McKees Rocks, a few blocks from Mancini’s and not far from Jenny Lee’s. I lived in North Side, not far from Breadworks. I lived in Oakmont, in walking distance of the Oakmont Bakery. I tried a bakery in Fox Chapel not long ago, and I was so unimpressed that I forgot the name, and a blueberry pineapple bread for $ 6.75 should have been memorable. Not one of these places compares to The Italian Bread Place.
Any time I’m in the area, and by that I mean anywhere from Carnegie to Sheradon, (and when the mood hits me, I could be an hour away and still make the trip), I stop in. I buy all of my holiday bread there, and I always have to buy an extra loaf, since I’m pulling pieces off before I’m out of the parking lot.
The mini twist salt sticks come plain or with caraway seeds, and the larger twist loaves come in a few different sizes. The bread is perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and light on the inside, and has a flavor I can’t even describe. My nephew eats nothing but bread and butter every time he visits for a holiday, and I cook for a few days to prepare, making a variety of seasonable and new inventive dishes.
People will try my cuisine and I get a lot of complements and requests for plates to take home. (Some of you still need to return my containers, by the way.) If I thought I could make it better, I might try, but I don’t think I could improve on this quality. I’ve tried many of their bread offerings, from pepperoni bread to the homemade, and I’ve never been disappointed. Neither is my nephew.
Just look for him at any of my parties. He’s the one in the corner with his own knife, cutting board and butter dish. Don’t look for the bread. It’s gone.

This place is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and treats you like family (although it does get busy during lunch and they get stressed). This is one of the best places for a sandwich in Pittsburgh.
My wife loves the wedding soup (and they sell it frozen for those cold nights at home when you dont want to cook) but you HAVE to try the Italian Club. The sundried tomato vinaigrette (or «crack sauce») is amazing and addictive.

Their pepperoni rolls are the best around! We always order the Italian club which is delicious. Today I had the steak hoagie and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Staff is always pleasant to deal with also

I love the food at this place, all of it, the deli meats, bread, sandwiches, pizza dough, everything. It’s fantastic.
My issues are the unfortunately common problems among Pittsburgh small businesses: The hours, and the attitude.
They close too early in the day and start closing about 30 minutes before they lock the doors so its a crap shoot if you’ll be able to buy what you want, when you want it.
The service is generally good, but I sometimes get the impression that the staff could care less. They also seem to assume you’re as familiar with the menu as they are and can get snippy if you’re unprepared to answer questions in exactly the way they expect.
All said, I’ll keep visiting because this is the best deli/​bakery /​sandwich joint in the area.

Not many places to get a decent breakfast sandwiches to go in the area do I decided to stop here for one. Great breakfast sandwich here, no need to look further! Haven’t tried anything else but everything looked amazing. Fresh baked bread, top notch deli meat and cheese, homemade pastas and sauces. I fully recommend this place for anyone looking for a deli or fresh baked bread.

Great little deli with pretty darn good Italian breads, baguettes, hard rolls, fresh pizza dough, etc.
Awesome deli, all kinds of imported cheeses, meats, imported charcuterie, salads, and grated cheeses.
Tons of sweets like biscotti, almonetta, and cannoli.
Family owned and operated!
