“No it's usually pretty good. The one girl he's been there for years is awesome. Very friendly and helpful I should know her name but I am horrible with names so forgive me. And there's other people employees who've been there for years that are good also.”
“I had to switch to CVS Pharmacy after my health insurance started charging extra for Rite Aid prescriptions. I was a little bit reluctant but a year later, I have to say this CVS has exceeded all of my expectations and saved the day on several occasions! I am traveling out of the country and needed to get my flu shot as well as Hep A vaccine. I traveled all over the South Hills at several different urgent care centers and called around to PCPs to try to get an ASAP appointment. I had no luck. I found one place that was going to charge me an arm and a leg & didn't take insurance, and I was about to give in to that ripoff. I basically gave up on trying, then on my way home I stopped by CVS at almost 8:00 in the evening to pick up my prescription and get a quick flu shot, and there on the counter was a flyer for Hep A vaccine. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT! They ran my insurance and I was able to get both the flu shot and Hep A at no cost. I cannot thank them enough (though I thanked them a hundred times while I was there) because they truly came through for me when I had no hope!!! [just an FYI - I do not know if they always carry this vaccine or not, so don't quote me on that. they just happened to have it available when I went! They do however have the flu shot and it is done right there at the pharmacy. Quick and easy]. Because they truly saved the day for me, I had to go on Yelp and write a review. This location is top notch and they make everything so easy. I will continue to give them my business because they have earned it. I also signed up for text messages, so they let me know my prescription is ready. If I forget for a couple of days, they'll send another with an expiration on when they will be returning my prescription to the shelf. I can appreciate this extra step because sometimes life just gets so busy you forget to do little (but very important) things like this! I love the pharmacy drive thru- they are open late and I am able to swing by and pick up the prescription in seconds. When I venture into the store for prescription pick up and/or browsing, I'm always able to snag a few things on sale or clearance that saves me a trip to the grocery store! I don't care about the other reviews, or that this is a huge corporation, they have earned my business and my trust! Thank you CVS West Liberty Ave for making my life just a little bit easier!”
“Gotta be one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been too. So much history and kindness when you step through the doors, everyone was so warm and welcoming. Worth the detour by a mile. Truly a special spot. EDIT: Right after I posted this, the owner (Dave) heard I was visiting from out of town and showed me the Mac memorial and Knick knacks above the shop. Gave me a full rundown on the history too and thanked me for stopping by. So grateful to have made it. Thank you FPM and Mac!!!”
“This place has great hoagies. They have good customer service also. Ive always been an italian hoagie person and this has to be the best one ive had in a long time its packed with meat. I also like the fact they make it fresh right in front of you and its not premade.”
“Dude...I just got a cheese steak from there and it was the best cheese steak I have had in the city of Pittsburgh. I am originally from Philly and have not been able to find a good steak since moving out here. Until now. He told me it was legit, and he was right. It's legit. Bread that would be competitive even in Philly, and the meat and cheese (cooper sharp sauce) mixture is stupid good. I give it a 9 out of 10, man. I have only ever rated 1 place a 10 out of 10, and this is only the 3rd 9 I've given out. It may even be a 9.5. Pretty damn good. Found this place by accident, but I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
“This shop is well stocked and has friendly knowledgeable staff members, which has been consistent for years. Excellent selection of premium quality loose leaf tobacco and rolling supplies in general.”
“Finally got to stop in today after eyeing it for a while (walk dogs in the neighborhood). It is such a a cute little corner store and really reminds me of places from my childhood. I originally went there for a hot dog or nachos, as I have heard great things about their quick fix foods. Unfortunately, they didn't have any since they are just coming out of the slower, winter season. Completely understandable, especially considering it's just a corner store. It awesome they have a place like this so close to schools and they park. Can't wait to stop back in to grab some summer food goodies when they are ready. Deff won't be frequenting the gas station anymore when I have my hot dog cravings!”
“Food is great here. Have never gotten a bad meal. I will say I loved there hot sausage ate here almost every other day there hot sausage is different and I don't care for it but all of there other food is great. Service is great owner is a good guy. Please go back to the Hot sausage you had”
“Today Katie the pharmacist went above and beyond to help with a prescription my insurance would not cover. She personally called to let me know of a steep discount. The entire staff is kind, caring and efficient. I no longer shop at target, but I will continue to do business with this amazing pharmacy.”
“Love this store. Used to work here about 10 years ago when it was just cigarettes but now they sell everything for smoking .. no matter what your smoking. They sell of course tobacco but also vapes now (throw away) CBD (vapes, gummies, etc) pipes of all kind, and even have a small section of juices including reg and Nic salts! Considering there's basically no shops around this way that sell juice, I'm sure most vapers will appreciate this. Also carries a small amount of necessities like milk and whatnot. Check it out if around that way!”
“Fuzzys has been around for so long! Amazing hoagies!! They have a wide variety of items. Fresh lunch meats cheeses fruits and veggies!! They even still got penny candy (altho now it's like 2 or 3 cent candy!) Def a close family/community store!! 100% recommended!!! 💯 💯”
“Best store i have ever dealt buisness with. Their products are very useful and very nice and helpful. The staff are very friendly buy at this store i recommend this store”
“Lived in the area 2015-2017 and I'm happy to see the place is still open. Numan is an Oakland legend, please visit and buy some Trolli octopus and a rip-it ?”
“Super happy to see this place has a 5 star rating ! They deserve it. Man down there is a retired navy veteran and thats the place I prefer to spend my money, rather than at some chain business.”
“Very friendly & knowledgable staff. Young guy came by my house to tow my jeep to the shop. He was kind enough to lend his knowledge into diagnosing what was potentially wrong with the jeep. As someone not too versed in the realm, his insight was appreciated. We also discussed another vehicle I own, and once he was done with the jeep (the only vehicle he came by for the job), he even went above and beyond to jump my other car! Thanks!”
“Good selection of snacks and drinks. Unique things- Hispanic and snacks from other countries. Only negative thing I have to say is that it bothers me that not everything is priced! I don't like when I am picking things up and I don't know how much things cost.”
“Very good corner store, they always have stuff that I need on top of having a large variety of other stuff as well. The owner is very nice, as well as employees he hires. I've never had a bad experience going here, sometimes I go out of my way and walk the extra mile literally, to go to this store instead of the one closest to me.”
“This store has everything! And everyone that works their is super friendly! They always have fresh food and a great alcohol selection. Plus, the manager is really cute.”
“I’ve been coming here since the very first day the new owner took over, and the transformation has been absolutely incredible. The difference is night and day. The previous store was dark, dank, depressing, and extremely overpriced, with shelves that were rarely stocked. Now? It is beautiful, bright, clean, fully updated with great machines, and the shelves are always fully stocked. The prices have been greatly reduced, and they have an excellent selection of products, including a fantastic tobacco variety for all types of smokers. More than anything, the new owner is just a beloved, honest, and truly joyful person who has brought so much light into our community. He is always polite, incredibly welcoming, and will literally bend over backwards to accommodate his customers. He genuinely wants to do good work for this neighborhood, and for regulars he’s known for a while, he even goes out of his way to do kind favors. I’ve come to consider him a true friend. I often encourage him to have a grand reopening with balloons so the whole neighborhood knows he’s here, but until then, writing this is the best way I can spread the truth about this hidden gem. If you want to support an honest, kind, local business run by someone who truly cares about the people he serves, please stop by and see for yourself!”
“Expensive but in a “semi-good part of” downtown Pittsburgh convenience store way. Lowkey around here you definitely pay for the convenience of safety and it’s safer than the 7/11 down this same ave. They still honor deals that not all corner stores showcase (2/$6 12 oz redbull for ex… some stores upcharge every size of redbull). Plus the main ppl that work here recognize regulars like me and that means more than $ savings in today’s world not gonna lie. I enjoy seeing them as part of my routine and they’re always helpful even if it’s right before payday and I’m struggling lol! So I’ll spend like $20-$25 dollars here everyday, I put it in my budget though because I’d rather give places that care about their customers … even if they get a million customers …being a downtown pgh convenience store and all…. Because they still make me feel like a normal person just trying to survive a long and stressful work day. And one of my fave clerks works like 80 hrs a week no lie but he still treats me with kindness first thing in the morning. Including days where I’m late, stressed, and quickly buying redbull then bouncing to work…… regardless of upcharged prices for some items… they still deserve stars for being human in a small big city. Thanks yall ❤”
“I liked Rossi's because they didn't have a machine for the scratch off lottery tix, someone handed them to you. I consider this to be lucky ( not that I win). But they redid the inside and now have 2 machines, although you can still get some at the counter. It's a good place for snacks and drinks. The people are very nice. Parking is only a few feet from the door. Sometimes the lot is full though. It's a popular place and I like it.”
“Decent prices, good spot to grab something without having to go to the grocery store Edit: Wanted to add that the employees are always kind and considerate, build rapport, and look out for their patrons. I really appreciate having this place in the neighborhood!”
“The tall cashier with longish dark hair was so nice. He had customer service which is so hard to find anymore. He greeted me so politely and Thanked me afterwards. He carded me like he was supposed to do even though im...well lets just say im well over the legal age. But i loved being carded for the first time in 20 years.He is a good employee...”
“I drive this way for a week, at least once a month, for work. The good - People there are friendly and great. Coffee is always full and hot. You can order breakfast/lunch via calling but if u choose to order and wait there, it does not take a long time.”
“I made an appt online and it was actually very easy. I was able to upload my insurance card prior to the visit and was happy to see that it was in network. There was no one in the wait room when I arrived so I didn't wait long at all. I was greeted by the nurse practitioner, Kate. She was so friendly, attentive, and caring while listening to my concern. She made sure my needs were met and her care was outstanding. I am very pleased with the treatment and I got exactly what I needed out of this visit. Thank you, Kate.”
“In and out in under 10 minutes for a late evening prescription before closing. Team was fast and kind compared to other CVS pharmacies that I’ve been to!”
