Primanti Bros. restaurant in Niles carries on legacy started in Pittsburgh
After the closure of Primanti Bros. in Boardman, Niles is home to the only Primanti Bros.’ restaurant in the state of Ohio.
Primanti Bros. at 5555 Youngstown Warren Road in Niles is one of the featured stops on Truly Trumbull’s taste of Italy tour.
Launched in March, the first Italian Food Trail is active through the end of the year and features 50 stops for food enthusiasts in Trumbull County.
Primanti Bros.’ roots date back to 1933, when sales from Joe Primanti’s small sandwich cart first started booming in the Strip district, turning into a full family business.
Primanti Bros. is best known for popularizing a Pittsburgh staple sandwich with fresh-cut French fries, grilled meat like pastrami, provolone cheese, coleslaw and Italian bread.
Customers continued to love the sandwich for its convenience and freshness, prompting the company to expand across Pennsylvania and into the Mahoning Valley and Wes Virginia.
Primanti Bros. first opened in 2016 in Niles, according to news reports.
Each restaurant uses house-made ingredients and Primanti Bros. is still headquartered in Pittsburgh.
Authentic Restaurant Brands acquired the restaurant chain in 2022, and Gerald Pulsinelli is the CEO for Primanti Bros.
