The fact that they are opening chain businesses that are competition for locally owned stores in the strip is bullshit. Go to Peppis instead of primo hoagies and Edgar's instead of chipotle. Heard there's a chain coffee shop opening soon too.

“….We have 11 local businesses today”. Proceeds to name Floyd Mayweather boxing as a local business 😂😂

This is their first location outside of the DMV. Voodoo is more of a chain than them IMO.

Aslin? Wouldn't really call them a chain. Also, they make some of the best beers I've had

Pittsburgh has a great beer scene. I’d rather a local place be able to open a second location then a DC beer company come in.

Still, compared to Chipotle and other actual chains, this is probably the best place they're adding.

Ok well, what did you get? Their overall ratings would disagree with you because they are, in fact, impressive..

I disagree. I like their diablos. Little too much bread, but otherwise delicious.

Thank you for saving me from my own curiosity. Looked like a decent setup walking past but hadn’t tried yet.

While I agree that we should support local businesses I have to confess that I've tried Peppis a few times now and have never enjoyed it, but I thought Primo was okay for the price.
