Stuntpig Features an Interesting Array of Sandwiches (Wed., 6/11/25)

Stuntpig: No Helmet Needed

Stuntpig’s logo is a cartoon pig wearing a helmet. You won’t need protective gear to dine there, just bring your appetite. Stuntpig is situated next to Coldstone Creamery in the cozy storeroom that Bull River Tacos formerly occupied. On my visit I ordered the Italian beef and the Madonia’s Muffuletta sandwiches for takeout. The Italian beef sandwich was a hot sandwich with juicy, lean roast beef piled high and topped with spicy giardiniera. Also served heated was the muffuletta which sported smoked ham, hot sopressatta, pepperoni, mortadella, sharp provolone and olive salad pressed on a Big Marty’s sesame bun. Both were very flavorful. Other items of interest are Mr. Orange (smoked and pulled chicken with spicy piri piri sauce, briny cucumbers, chimichurri aioli), Lil Jawn (Italian roast pork marinated in sicilian oregano, fennel and orange, grilled broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, hot pepper mayo, pressed), pig wings, perogies, and jerk chicken wings). Sandwich offerings change occasionally. While waiting for your order one can sip a free chilled hibiscus water from a dispenser. Stuntpig is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. The business also operates a food truck of the same name. 1707 Murray Ave., Squirrel Hill. (R.H.)
