Pittsburgh is famous for a lot of things, but food in Pittsburgh is one of the biggest. Henry John Heinz (as you can guess from his name) created the famous Heinz ketchup in Pittsburgh. If you were born after 1886, you may or may not be familiar with the famous Clark Bar as well, which was sold to NECCO in 1999 and is not commonly seen on shelves anymore. However, Pittsburgh movers take a special liking to the famous Primanti Bros. sandwiches. In fact, you cannot have a conversation about local food with any Pittsburgh native without the name Primanti being included.

During the Great Depression, laborers needed a way to eat their entire meal with only one hand, so that they could still work with the other. The solution to this problem: a sandwich topped with French fries and coleslaw – wrapping your cheese, meat, bread, fries, and coleslaw together in one. For the true taste of Pittsburgh after moving to town, Primanti Bros. is the answer.

Despite the overwhelming popularity of Primanti Bros. creative sandwiches in Pittsburgh, the city is known as a melting pot and it can be seen through the variety of famous foods. Some other food traditions include pierogis and Italian wedding soup.

Your Pittsburgh movers will also be pleasantly surprised if you supply them with the local Pittsburgh sweet, cold treat of Klondike Bars.
