me and my dad and sister love dannys cause of the hogies and has good pizza too and every time we come to pittsburgh we always go to dannys to get hogies
These are very good italian hoagies ... some of the best around, but they are not so good to justify $15. The last time I was there, I ordered two italian hoagies ... it was $30. That's getting a bit out of hand. We've been going to Danny's for years, but I think we'll look around next time.
My First Visit Impression. I drive past this place everyday. Today I was in the mood to try a new place, and get a hoagie from somewhere. I called ahead and ordered a whole Italian hoagie. (I picked this based on the reviews from different sites). Just from the parking lot you get some great smells of pizza and hoagies. I walk in and I can see my hoagie sitting there with melted cheese on it. They waited until I arrived before they start to put the sandwich together. This is GREAT in preventing it from getting soggy. Well worth the 2 minute wait for them to finish. The gentleman was nice and polite, hard to understand, but a nice fellow. The bag was a bit heavy. A good sign that this thing would fill me up. I only live 5 minutes away, so when I got home I wanted to see what the hype was about.
First impressions were good. Easily could tell the bread is homemade. Toasted perfectly, and the bread didn't "crumble" when you bit into it. A little chewy and very, tasty bread. The melted cheese on the bread totally makes it. The cheese melts along the side of the bread, and perfect consistency. The hoagie had a bit of a bite to it. I started to sweat a bit eating it. It's not spicy but the onions and meat flavorings had some kick, which is what an italian hoagie should be.
The hoagie is not drop dead fantastic, but definitely convinced me to visit again and try more of what they have to offer.
I have a big appetite, and tend to eat fast, and I got about 75% done before I had to stop. Waited about 15 minutes and was anxious to finish it.
If you are one of the unlucky people who have to drive on Route 51 for your daily commute, brighten you drive a bit and stop by this place. Word of advice, the hoagie is much better when you eat it as soon as you get it.
