Founded in 1933 by Joe Primanti, Primanti Bros began as a humble sandwich cart selling substantially sized sandwiches to hungry workers in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, an area that remained busy even during the Great Depression. In fact, sales were so good that Joe partnered with his brothers to create the first Primanti Brothers storefront and their “Almost Famous” sandwich was born. The Pitts-Burger and Cheese - their “number two best seller”, which is really the most popular item on their menu, is a Pittsburgh classic and a must try. A seasoned beef patty served Primanti-style, this sandwich will start your torrid love affair with this restaurant. Truth be told you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and one of the hardest decisions Elite Sports Tours has to face when we head to Pittsburgh is “what sandwich do we try this time”?
