Hey ladies and gents, haven't eaten at the Triangle @Swissvale in years and I've never visited the Anchor bar in North Versailles. Understanding they are both very similar...which one has the better hoagie? Any recommendations? Maybe some tips on what to order that only locals know about?
Triangle is so overrated. It's a bar version of a high school band fundraiser hoagie. The texture of the meat is just wrong.
A solid Italian hoagie in that area can be found at Shelly's Pie in Turtle Creek, or Rudy's or Carhops in Monroeville.

I love fundraiser hoagies. But you can't compare the two unless it comes with a teeny tiny bag of lettuce that turns brown in one day, two tomato slices, and 1 maybe 2 packets of dressing for a >12" hoagie. Topping/condiment scarcity is part of the experience.
carhops steak hoagie, the z-28, is fire. I like the super sport for their italian. that pepper relish is delicious.
the owner and his daughter are always so nice as well. I wish I wanted hoagies more because i only go there a few times a year, but its always great and its nice talking with such nice people.
I used to eat at the Carhops in Monroeville a lot when I worked in the area. The guy at the grill was so nice and the burger was great.
Same. Don't know why people love that place. Probably just because they have that big battleship sandwich. It's the same sandwich that we got in a high school cafeteria in 1992 for lunch.
Triangle.
I do love Triangle. I'll have to check out Anchor sometime soon. North Versailles?
As a Former North Versailles resident Anchor hoagies is great. Big Ross is also good for hot sandwiches. They’re both on 30 but Big Ross is in East McKeesport.

Lol Triangle is a little dirty. Tasty, but very uh... selectively hygenic. Anchor is squeaky clean and run by the guy who owns triangles nephew (they had a huge fight).
I've eaten at both multiple times as I'm super close to someone who has worked both places.
if I’m just responding to the original post, I would have to pick the triangle. But I saw another commenter mention car hops. That hoagie is fantastic.
Triangle and Anchor are the same sandwich, Anchor is run by former Triangle people
Yup!
Frankstown woodfire in Penn Hills.
The deluxe Italian with the sweet red peppers…. Damn.
They will do all capicola hoagie if you ask them.
Triangle
Where’s anchors?
Allegheny sandwich shoppe has a good Italian hoagie
Try their woodfired roastbeef, it is the best roastbeef i have ever had.

Well triangle bar blows so not there
My recommendation is to just get the Sheetz Italian hoagie. It's pretty good.

The triangle hogie... In reality it shouldn't be anything special just by looking at it. But damn is it good. I don't know what it is. I would cross multiple bridges to go get one.
