Third on the list is the Cheese Combo, another sandwich that defies the "double meat" option, because it is meatless. Thankfully, it is the last meatless sandwich on the menu.
Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for it on the heel cut in half...I got too complacent, put too much trust in my favorite server, and it's true, I didn't order what I should have. Oh well. There are worse things.
This presentation, uncut and stabbed in the back, is not accepted by the Reformed Primantiists.
Once again, there's no meat in there. But there is quite a bit of Swiss, American, and Provolone cheese in there. It's nice and stringy and thick, but it's just not the same as meat in there.
See how that bottom piece of bread is almost nonexistent? That's why you get it on the heel.
Honestly, there was a lot of flavor there. I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. After the "Deluxe" Double Egg and Cheese, which was incredibly bland, this was pretty decent.
It's the Primantis version of a grilled cheese sandwich. It's gooey, it's thick, it has that perfect amount of chewiness...but it lacks the punch of protein. When you'd get bites that didn't have much coleslaw, it actually tasted like cheese fries in sandwich form. Like, french fries, slathered in cheese, on bread. That's a good flavor. It was quite tasty. But it just wasn't better than anything with meat or a protein on it.
Look, if it's a Friday in Lent and you can't have meat, and you don't like fish, this would be a good choice. It's probably the best vegetarian option, in my opinion (but, full disclosure, I haven't had the colossal fish sandwich yet), but otherwise, there's no reason to get this.
This was a good sandwich...but I'd still never order it again.
Taste: 6 Good...but not great. No real wow factor, and it isn't going to overtake much.
Satisfaction: 2 No meat, not much body...it's just cheese. That's not enough.
Flavor: 7 It actually packs a good flavor, and in some bites, it was fantastic.
Enjoyable: 5 Only because of those moments where it tasted like cheese fries
Pittsburghness: 1 Cheese is good, but cheese is a Wisconsin thing, not a Pittsburgh thing. We're a meat-and-potatoes (usually wrapped in pasta dough) kind of city...this is not a sammich.
Should I get this sandwich? No. Unless you really want cheese or you're in a vegetarian non-fish situation, there's no reason to do this when so many other good things are on the menu.
