Just want to say thanks to Darren the owner for making amends. The Emily came out great! Again pleasant staff. Jeff had me sat and my sandwiches came out quickly. It had a heaping amount of turkey and coleslaw. I thoroughly enjoyed my new experience. It was delicious and I am more than full now. I appreciate the time the staff took to make my 2nd visit more palatable. Thanks!

Went there twice during my stay. Ordered the keege and the zack. Both sandwiches are enormous with a pile of meat. Very friendly and attentive staff. If your staying in pitt would highly recommend going here at least once.

Exceptional food, exceptional service, good prices. Try to root beer from a barrel. Great stuff!. The sandwiches excellent as well as the sides (cucumber salad and potato salad. The service was quick and the service was attentive and they actually cared if we enjoyed our lunch. A staple for sure on any visit to Pittsburgh in the future. My husband and I highly recommend this lunch restaurant.

***** UPDATE ***** I went back to Szmidt's both yesterday and today hoping that the first sandwich that I got at the new location was a fluke. Just like my first visit, I found the service to be excellent. I got a seated right away and was greeted by the waiter within minutes. On yesterday's visit I went with the "Greg"; a grilled roast beef sandwich, with onions, peppers, portabella mushrooms and provolone cheese. It was served rather quickly and this time the sandwich was every bit of the quality I've taken for granted at the Greenfield location. The fresh bun held up well to the heaping serving of roast beef. It was truly delicious. Today I had the "Szmidt"; a grilled pastrami sandwich on rye, with sliced caramelized onion, provolone, mustard and pickle. Just like the Greg it was piled high with meat... almost too much! The pastrami was very tasty and the onion and provolone compliment it perfectly. As I suspected, the sandwich that I got on my first visit must have been an anomaly. I can see myself coming back here often.

Today's visit was great as usual! I had the roasted turkey salad and of course it was amazing! Jessica S was first class all the way! If you're downtown, you MUST visit this establishment!

Great place with great food at a good price. They make everything on-site and you can definitely tell the difference. Staff is very polite and keep the place very clean and tidy. They also have options to buy some of their meats to being home as well. They're reopening their old location in Greenfield soon as well. Great sandwiches that has a much more Pittsburgh vibe than a certain scummy and overrated "we put French fries on lunch meat sandwiches" restaurant chain. Overall great prices staff and food, for a real taste of Pittsburgh and old world foods, there's not much better than Szmidt's.

Best sandwich in Pittsburgh. Hands down. Fresh everything. Not 'deli meat' but chef roasted beef, pastrami, corned beef, turkey& chicken. Love their homemade rye. Their mustard. The spicy buffalo chicken pierogis with blue cheese are amazing and available in a 'side portion'. Take out salads and deli. Beverages are not what everyone has - there is no 'soda on the gun' here. Craft stuff all the way around. Lunch hour downtown can be tight so I try to come a hair early or late.

Everything is made in house and you can tell. We had a corned beef, a pastrami, and a roast beef sandwich. A large argument ensued over who had the best sandwich. Generous portions, reasonable prices, and simple amazing food makes this a place I will come back to as soon as possible.

Came here at lunchtime on a Thursday during a conference, got seated right away, and everyone we interacted with was extremely pleasant and attentive. We had great turkey and pastrami sandwiches, and great root beer. Can't wait to come back and try the homemade pierogies!

I tried this place with a few friends over our lunch break when it first opened. They may have made a few changes by now, but for starters, we walked right past it without realizing that was it. Where is the sign? When we finally found it, we loved the decor. The inside is truly awesome. Very well done. And awesome drink options (old sodas and teas - "old world"). We were seated right away as the place was fairly empty, which we found odd for a new restaurant with a very old fan base. And then we ordered, I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. My friend hated his sandwich, but he's insanely picky and they kept putting condiments and toppings on that he specifically requested be left off (multiple times). But like I said, he's extra picky, so it was just a combination of server incompetence and picky customer. Our meals came decently fast and were yummy. But I think they are overpriced. $13+ for an okay standard sandwich with a tiny bit of gross coleslaw side, ehhhhh. And the worst thing was that as we were paying, they use iPads to handle your payment right in front of you, which I guess they think is cool (?), but it's actually insanely annoying. And then it doesn't work half the time, and then you're forced to make awkward conversation with the waitress while you impatiently wait to get back to your life. It's much better when your waitress just takes your check and card away and comes back with everything handled, no bother. Newer isn't always better. I would try it again here, but just have lower expectations.

The BF and I met up for lunch here last week. Now, I had never been in the Greenfield location, so this place was brand new to me, and I liked it. But for people who had been in the old location, take this Yelp with a grain of salt....there are mixed reviews on the new verses the old. We split a Hoya (your basic Ruben) and 6 pierogi. The sandwiches are pretty darn big, as well as balls to the wall good. Piled with corned beef and sauerkraut (which I LOVE). I suggest you ask for extra napkins up front. I made a sloppy mess eating mine, but there was no way I could have eaten that sandwich as you should eat a sandwich- with two hands and a mouth; it was just too big. The pierogi were decent, however I will openly admit I make my own piergi, so I have become a bit of a piergi snob. To the layperson, they might be great. The prices of the sandwiches seemed reasonable because if the sandwich you get. The pierogi- the basic potato and cheddar- though are 6 for $7.59 which I found....let's just say not as reasonable. Our waiter was nice and our food came in a timely fashion, so, overall I was happy. If you take away anything from this review, it's Get. Extra. Napkins!

The old place was a 5/5. Loved just going to the place and eating a great sand which was a decent price. Was a little overpriced but worth it.now 3/4 of the menu is gone and the prices have jumped up. Ohh and now I get gauged for parking. To many other spots in PGH to grab lunch at. If the owners read this please re open your old greenfield location. Was such a gem.

I thought I would try this new deli for lunch. Great atmosphere to start. The steak salad was very fresh and all of the dressings are made on the premises. The service was quick and efficient. I would definitely return. Love the iPads for ordering and paying for your meal.

Went there for lunch and was intrigued by the buffalo chicken pierogi, so I ordered 2 of them! They are full of a chicken and cheese combo, then smothered in buffalo sauce with a side of blue cheese. I have never had anything like it, they were awesome! I got the Hoya Corned Beef sandwich (Reuben) and was impressed. They make their bread, cure their meat and do pretty much everything in house. You can taste the difference. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. Typically I find with Reuben's, the bread is either hard and crunchy or too soft and soggy. This was not the case, a little crunch on the outside, with a soft center. Perfect. Great spot for lunch downtown. Update - went back again today for their Cassidy sandwich - Pastrami with coleslaw. Again, the sandwich was great and the pastrami was full of flavor. I had the mac and cheese as a side dish, but wasn't impressed at all by that. I will stick to sandwiches and pierogies.

Excellent service - great sandwiches! Ordered the Irene and it was great. We will be back!

I could become a "regular" at a place like this. They're still adding onto their menu, so the hyped up pierogies are only available in 2 flavors so far. I got the Buffalo Chicken pierogies and a side of coleslaw. They were boiled and not fried, like traditional pierogies. These were great... covered in buffalo sauce. I'm a big fan of restaurants making everything from scratch and in house, and this place certainly delivers in that respect. And service? One of the friendliest bunch of servers/hosts I've ever seen. I will ABSOLUTELY be going back once the Sweet Potato & Pumpkin pierogies are on the dine-in menu!

I miss the coziness (and parking!) of their old location. They also seem to have raised their prices from when they were a tiny 2-4 person operation. Having said all that, they're still the best deli in Pittsburgh. The sandwiches are amazing, the place was packed, the owners and all the new staff were hustling with smiles on their faces and I'm looking forward to more people getting the opportunity to experience Szmidt's.

Food and service are outstanding. Highly recommend! Honestly nothing to complain about and you will feel the same when you come here.

I ate here with a coworker today and felt the need to post this review. We decided on the Emily sandwich & side of cucumbers. This was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! The sandwich was fresh thinly sliced warm turkey, homemade pile of coleslaw, cheese, and fresh warm bread. The bread was not toasted, which I loved because it was able to soak up the coleslaw without getting too messy. We were able to split the sandwich due to its size. The cucumbers were also absolutely delicious - I would eat these as a stand-alone snack! Diners, Drive ins and Dives or someone needs to come here - the food is absolutely outstanding. It is great to find places like this that stick to making everything homemade and fresh every day! I will DEFINITELY be back; SOON.

$13 for a sandwich. Good flavor on potato salad. Day 1 half of Reuben was OK, day 2 hit the trash. Somehow just not a lot of flavor. The grilled rye was mostly burnt.

Any place that goes to the effort to brine and roast their own meats gets kudos from me. I got their corned beef - essentially a reuben, and it had great flavor. I also tried their rage - a very large pierogie sandwich - interesting concept, and it was not my favorite, but it was flavorful and rich. The breads that came with the sandwiches were also very good, but it is the meats that will bring me back to this place. I went to this place when it was in Greenfield, and really miss it.
