Pepperoni rolls

Submitted by storytime-with-lys t3_z6fome in pittsburgh

Hello, during Covid I was in Texas for a year and I came back last year to find out that there is no more CoGos in Pittsburgh. I was wondering if there was any places that had pepperoni rolls like CoGos did? They was cheap, warm, delicious and perfect for on the go and I been searching everywhere for anything like it since to no avail. It’s one of the things I missed the most while I was gone and until this day I regret not getting one last CoGos pepperoni roll. Willing to drive outside the city as well. Thank you!

Mancini’s make the best hoagie rolls and loaves, but their pepperoni rolls are mid

Whoever sells the atomic ones down the street in the strip has way better ones. (I get the standard ones from the guy that sells the atomic I just forget the name of the place)

I agree that the Atomic is amazing however I just want my good old CoGos pepperoni rolls back honestly

Pepperoni rolls up here usually suck- stick pepperoni is the way to go. We make home made ones that come out great.

Wife is from WV- pepperoni rolls are life there.

Best ever, if you have a time machine... the 7-11 in Oakland. Brushed lovingly with garlic butter. Hope you're doing well, Brenda!

Still in Oakland, Fuel And Fuddle's Rollafatty. You will not be disappointed!

Just bought a pack from the bakery section at Costco. They likely won't taste like CoGo's, but thought I'd mention it as a other alternative.

The supplier for pepperoni rolls at a Coen vs. Cogos is 99.9% chance the same vendor. It’s not like they have some in house baking program.

I tried and Coens was horrible that’s like comparing Turners Tea to Schneiders

The cogo’s in the south side by double wide still has its Roll Zone sign up so maybe there is still hope? 👀

I had the ones in the strip growing up however I been on a mission for anything like CoGos. I know the Atomic ones are way better however there’s just something about a cheap crappy pepperonis roll you get everyday before school or work or for lunch that just always was nostalgic to me

Any CoGos is now a Coen Market and there's plenty of them around, the pepperoni rolls still taste the same imo. There's one down the block from me I go to pretty often.

The pepperoni rolls aren't even remotely the same. There is one across the street from work and when Coen took over they changed dramatically. They're now flat and the dough is often uncooked.

I had a Coen pepperoni roll last week. Sure seemed the same as before.

I did a quick search. Apparently CoGo's is now under the Coen brand.

There's a CoGos in Greenfield, but I am pretty sure they stopped baking when COVID hit. There's also a CoGos down at Carson and 10th, but I haven't been in there since the Oliver Bath House closed for COVID and planned renovations.

Sheetz does. Usually in bags not warmed.

I had them at Sheetz and didn’t like them at all they aren’t even close to CoGos in my opinion

Compared to cogos, Sheetz is the wish.com of pepperoni rolls

Marshall's way out in saltsburg is my favorite pepperoni roll. A bit of a trek but Connemaugh dam is a fun place to walk and explore, and the bike trail in saltsburg is super pretty.

Personally I’m a fan of mancini’s, breadworks, and the ones made in Pitaland (honestly everything from pitaland is dope).
