About Primanti Bros.
Primanti Bros. traces its roots to the Great Depression, when Joe Primanti began selling sandwiches from a small cart in Pittsburgh’s Strip District before opening a storefront in 1933 to serve truck drivers and shift workers around the clock.
The brand’s signature sandwich, topped with fries, was born when Joe’s nephew, John DiPriter, fried potatoes to see if they were frozen and started adding them to sandwiches, creating a one-handed meal that quickly became a hit.
