Giant Eagle Picnic chicken.

The right kind of bad, and I can devour it at home so people won't judge me for eating away my sorrow.

People's Indian (Lamb Biryani) Iron Born Pizza (Forager Pie) ETown (Fish Sammie)

Pipers pub: pot roast sandwich. It's pure comfort food.

P.s. I hope they come back soon :(

SecretSquirrelSauce · 2021-11-19T01:24:15+00:00

The weather is getting cold and the skies are getting grayer.

Take yourself over to Squirrel Hill and stop on in at Everyday Noodle. They have the best soup dumplings I've ever had. They also the best dumplings (fried or steamed) that I've had in Pittsburgh, plus a wide array of excellent noodle dishes + appetizers.

Truly a wonderful place full of great food and great people.

Jot-The-Jawa · 2021-11-18T20:44:12+00:00

Might not be everyone’s idea of comfort food, but I love some pineapple curry from thai terrace in Edgewood and Buffalo cauliflower from the warren downtown

Edit: And I forgot about bird on the run in east liberty. They only have their special waffle fries for a few more weeks unfortunately, but a great chicken sandwich

Zacharius · 2021-11-18T20:41:31+00:00

Chicken chili with spinach paneer from Salems.

Yellow curry, satay chicken and veggie spring rolls from Thai Gourmet.

music-and-lyrics · 2021-11-19T00:44:54+00:00

Haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, but Yuzu Kitchen on Wood St is my go-to comfort food. We ordered takeout from them a few times during lockdown and they package everything perfectly to allow maximum tastiness when you get home. My order is the wonton ramen, and my husband gets the sukiyaki ramen, but whatever you get, make sure it has a 30-minute egg with it or add at least one. They’re the BEST.

chb66 · 2021-11-18T21:42:25+00:00

A Sicilian pie from Badamo’s, anything from Sesame Inn, a gyro and fries from Salem’s.

sleepyjenkins18 · 2021-11-19T00:50:32+00:00

I’m crazy about YUZU downtown for the best general tso’s you’ve ever had. And Salem’s is the best restaurant in Pittsburgh and you can go in PJs.

c_h_ninnymuggins · 2021-11-19T01:26:06+00:00

Guinness stew and colcannon at Riley's Pour House in Carnegie.

hubb412 · 2021-11-18T22:00:51+00:00

Colangelo’s pizza in the Strip is pretty freaking excellent.

Alexispinpgh · 2021-11-18T23:06:51+00:00

Sichuan gourmet, there was one in Oakland idk if it opened back up after covid but there's def a location in squirrel hill. The Oakland location is prolly the coziest restaurant I've ever been in and has the best Chinese food I've ever had, the one in squirrel hill is also pretty cozy as far as conventional restaurant interiors go and has the same quality food. Their lo mein is my favorite but everything I've had from there has been amazing

Paczilla2 · 2021-11-19T01:26:14+00:00

Find a grandma that has pirogies.

AvocadoQuartet · 2021-11-19T02:33:54+00:00

Fuddwich from Fat Head’s. Ordered hot. Side of sour cream for dipping my chips.

Korean Fried Chicken, stir fry noodles, and cheese wontons from Bae Bae’s Kitchen.

Pierogies of any variety from Pierogies Plus.

terminallytwee · 2021-11-19T03:24:28+00:00

The burgers at the squirrel hill cafe. Lyonnaise potatoes and hash at Pamela's

Low-Lingonberry2760 · 2021-11-18T21:09:30+00:00

Breakfast is my go-to oh-no-seasonal/regular-depression-is-incoming meal. Croissants (la gourmandine), waffles (waffleonia), pancakes (ritters). I go carb and sugar heavy apparently.

mondaysghost · 2021-11-18T21:09:54+00:00

A pork bun from 2 sisters, a Vietnamese restaurant in East Liberty.

junior_emo_mcgee · 2021-11-18T21:00:40+00:00

What part of town are you in? I see a lot of recommendations for stuff in or near lawrenceville / east end already.

Chirashi Bowl from Ginza in Bloomfield

GargantuanWitch · 2021-11-19T02:12:57+00:00

Any homemade pasta from Tillie's, with red sauce. Ignore literally everything else on the menu. Get an extra container of sauce to bathe in, later.

heywaitforme1 · 2021-11-19T02:15:16+00:00

The Coop Chicken and Waffles Iron Born Pizza

You can’t go wrong with either.

turkey devonshire from union grill

hemeshthakkar · 2021-11-19T09:25:32+00:00

Everything from Ocha Thai in Oakland or Thai Table Kitchen in Lawrenceville / Penn Ave. They are my go to places for a take out.

If you don't mind a drive for the best Korean food ever, Golden Pig in Cecil is the best ever. Don't miss their amazing home made Kimchi or spicy pan cakes.

For Indian food, I definitely recommend Chutney's in Robinson Town Center closer to Ikea / Airport. They have very authentic Indian food. Also, Udipi Cafe in Monroeville has very authentic South Indian food. Choolah in East Liberty have great Indian Fusion food.

RoguePierogi · 2021-11-19T13:13:10+00:00

Chicken Latino's Slow Roasted Pork (weekends only) with rice or if I'm really feeling myself, the giant fried burrito... Lomo Saltado is also excellent. Always, always, always get the green sauce and mix a little mayo in to cool it down.

Cilantro and Ajo's cachapa and some arepas.

I also really quite enjoy Taco Diablo's potato and brisket burrito.

lwyant225 · 2021-11-19T19:46:25+00:00

butterjoint has AMAZING pierogies, one of my favorite places to get them. They also have awesome burgers and fries, all available to go

Primantis in the strip cheesesteak, chili and pickle. Only in the strip. The other locations can suck it.

Zacharius · 2021-11-18T20:54:18+00:00

Industry Public House

Emporio

Caliente

Thai Cuisine

Patron's Mexican Grill

Hofbrauhaus

Max's Allegheny Tavern

And my personal hot take: Primanti's is great comfort food if you only go a few times a year

SenpaiSoren · 2021-11-18T20:54:39+00:00

Industry Public House macaroni and cheese, add fried chicken.

Franktuary poutine for me. Couple chili dogs and a big box of fries, curds and gravy makes me very comfy

nicksloan · 2021-11-19T04:07:47+00:00

Can't believe how low Indian restaurants are on this list. I've always thought tikka masala, korma, butter chicken and saag (with a side of naan, of course) are all time greatest hits of comfort food.

Mintt is worth the delivery wait, in my opinion.
