Pittsburgh’s earned a pretty solid reputation as a foodie town, boasting a long and storied history. There are no shortage of classic restaurants in Pittsburgh, either, making it easy to find a spot for a good, old-fashioned meal. DeLuca’s Diner, an instantly recognizable name, is just one of those places that keeps you coming back for more.
Billed as having the “best breakfast in town,” DeLuca’s Diner, with its original location in the Strip District, boasts a scrumptious menu of breakfast and lunch dishes, served in an old-school eatery that oozes charm.
DeLuca’s Diner is so popular that if you visit on weekends, you’ll probably have a bit of a wait in line. Chances are, however, that as soon as you take that first bite, you’ll forget all about that wait.
Whether you visit for breakfast or for lunch, come hungry, because portions are generous. DeLuca’s boasts such breakfast favorites as eggs and homefries paired with ham, corned beef hash, or T-bone steak.
If you’re more of an omelet for breakfast type of person, you have more than a dozen from which to choose – from Philly cheesesteak to the seafood omelet.
While you’ll definitely want to try breakfast at DeLuca’s, you can’t go wrong with their delectable lunch dishes either. Classic burgers, subs, wraps, and chicken tenders are just a few of your choices.
