The Meatball Company - Pittsburgh

The staff were decent, nice, young people.The food itself was mediocre.I got the 4-meatball sub with marinara, beef meatballs, cheese, and fresh basil. The bread was the best part, it was soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Unfortunately, the marinara was watery and bland, and soaked into the bread, creating a soggy, sour sponge. The meatballs were ok. They were under-spiced and under-salted, just carrying that classic 'cooked ground beef ' flavor, but less appetizing than usual... maybe the meat was a bit old? But definitely under-seasoned.The cheese was nice and stretchy, and the basil was fresh. But overall, the sandwich was not something I 'd return for. I also got a vegetarian meatball to try, and it was just... beany. I know it 's made of white beans, but again, kind of bland, lacking umami.I hate to say this, but I 'd go to Subway instead for the same thing, it has a lot more flavor despite having a lower freshness and quality of ingredients.Nothing wrong with the staff, they were great... the food is not worth coming back for, though.

Just got a meatball sub for lunch. It was very good and also filling. The staff were very nice and recommended what to try. I would definitely eat here again.

We couldn't even try food. Lady working was clueless. Kept telling us to wait while she was on the phone. After 10 minutes we walked out.

Recently, I visited and found out they no longer offer veggie meatballs, even though they are still on the digital menu. When I mentioned that this change would keep me from returning, the staff just laughed and said they probably wouldn't be in business much longer. I really hope they can make the necessary improvements to stay around because if they could become more reliable, they would truly make a great addition to the South Side dining scene.

I just had the vodka sauce, and it was fantastic! The banana peppers were spot on. I faced a little issue with my previous order, but the team was more than willing to resolve it. I highly recommend this place to any meatball enthusiasts!
