I did make it to the Italian market and it was much closer than I had anticipated. I decided on a yinzer sandwich. If you're not aware, 'yinz' is a totally Pittsburgh thing akin to y'all in the south. We also love our chipped ham, known as chipped chopped ham in other areas. Our hometown Isley's stores, which were very popular years ago, had their own branding of ice cream and other treats. The chipped ham thing is well known and appreciated in these parts. The 'Yinzer' was piled high with chipped ham on a hoagie roll, (also available as a smaller sandwich on a round sandwich bun), and I was given several options. I had mine dressed with some American cheese, lettuce, tomato and peppers. I couldn't wait and scarfed down half of it at the local farmer's market, where I was working. I got mayo on the side, but never used it. It was great as it was. When I say 'piled high', I'm not exaggerating. The meat to bun to cheese to vegetables wasn't even close. The meat dominated the sandwich and I have to say that I was loving it. It is the way I would make my own at home. I would have slathered it with mayo, and I intend to do just that on my next trip, but I was nice and gave my other half to David. He also loved it. It was the taste of my past. A lot of people don't get it and probably never will. First, the local store compresses the meat, as in squeezes the air out and jams the meat into a lump. You can't do chipped ham that way. It has to be fresh sliced very thin and picked up by hand or with tongs to avoid squeezing the air out. When done right, there is a huge difference in flavor and texture. This one was done right. I want to go back right now and get another one. They also had their own homemade pasta sauce and Mancini's bread, which gives you enough of a reason to shop there. The only downside is that hot sandwiches are only listed as specials on certain days of the week. On weekends the menu is strictly cold sandwiches, but there is a decent variety. Still, I'd like to try the sausage and meatballs, so I can only wish they were available on the weekends. If I recall correctly, some of these items are available to be reheated at home. There is also a full deli. The place is very clean, the staff friendly and welcoming, and the prices are average. In some specialty convenience stores, things get marked up beyond reason. That isn't the case here. They even have spice mixes at better prices than the grocery stores. A large container of Italian seasoning was just $3.50. I'll be back soon. I only wish I could give this place more than 5 stars.

Adorable little grocery store. The owners are so friendly and appreciative to customers. My favorite product is the Bloomfield Groceria brand of marinara sauce. The owner told me the recipe has been in his family for generations. It is perfectly sweet and wonderful quality. Also a great place to stop in for a simple but great quality Italian hoagie. Props to them for accepting credit cards; many businesses here don't!

I stopped in while walking around the neighborhood on a recent trip to Pittsburgh. It is as described an attractive specialty grocery store that has freshly made large sandwiches. I ordered a hoagie and it was excellent.
