Pittsburgh is full of great places to eat! Pittsburgh has been ranked the third-best city in the nation for foodies by Apartment Guide. Its biggest national food lexicon contribution is putting French fries right on a sandwich, as popularized at Pittsburgh's iconic Primanti Brothers. But its Midwest food pedigree emphasizes the city's traditional German, Polish and Eastern European influences, with local favorites leaning heavily on pierogis, cabbage rolls, kielbasa and chipped ham.
