“They were the only place for miles around that we could find cat litter at 10:30 on a Monday night... and for that, my kitty ? and I will be eternally grateful! Kudos to a helpful clerk who went back to check for us when we called on the phone... If only all the people we called tonight were so friendly! ???”
“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.”
“I stopped by Little Tony Mini Mart on Ross Street in downtown Pittsburgh and tried their cheesesteak hoagie—definitely a solid choice! The bread was fresh, soft, and held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. The meat was well-seasoned and flavorful, with just the right amount of juiciness. You can tell it was made with care. The cheese tied everything together nicely and gave it that classic, satisfying cheesesteak taste. Overall, a great quick bite if you’re downtown and craving something hot, fresh, and filling. I’d definitely come back again!”
“Extremely friendly staff with an EXTREMELY robust selection of beer. The varieties and selections were color-coded and well-organized. They had a ton of regional and local brews - even carrying a rotating, varied craft 4 pack. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this store. I'll be back!”
“Stopped here late on Christmas Eve prior to picking our son up at the Pittsburgh Airport. Even for it being a holiday, the staff were pleasant & got our order correct.”
“We were given great customer service. The owner is very friendly. Today on 7- Eleven day, the cups were put together to just grab and fill. The store was very clean. It is a place where I go t get all my needs.”
“Food and staff are awesome! I got a super Italian hoagie, ham sandwich, 3 cheese pizzas and 3 pepperoni pizzas. The bread and crust is so light and fluffy and delicious!”
“I stumble on this place by accident. The staff is freindly and very helpful. What a selection--I love slushies and they have like 15 flavors + 5 differnt gourmet coffees and I seen angie make a special pot for a customer, angie said they have over 50 differnt kinds of coffee from around the world, I love the chocolate rasberry.

“Ravi’s Everything You Need Convenience Store really came through for me while I was visiting Downtown Pittsburgh. I picked up a pack of L. Ducat Menthol 100s, a sour apple ice Nexa nicotine disposable vape, a Bic lighter, a Delta one-hitter, and a Cereal Labs Delta disposable. All of the devices worked perfectly and tasted great — no issues at all. The cigarettes were fresh, the lighter worked as expected, and everything felt like it had been stored properly. I also grabbed two Pepsi Cherry Cola cans which were cold and priced really fairly — definitely a good value for the area. The gentleman behind the counter was a bit impatient, but he still helped me get everything I needed. I really appreciated that he was willing to take a photo of my ID since I was traveling and had accidentally left it at home in another state — that saved me a huge hassle. There was actually a fight while I was there, but the staff handled it calmly and professionally, which says a lot about how they manage the store. Overall, while I do wish the employees were a bit more friendly, the store itself is reliable and convenient. The prices are fair, the location is great — especially if you’re staying at one of the nearby hotels — and they have a solid selection of products that work as expected. I’d definitely come back if I needed anything while in the area.”
“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.”
“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”

The Brookline office the lady is Rude argumentiive hostile SMH NEVER GO . BEECHVIEW WELL WORTH YOUR SERVIC3,”
“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!”
“CVS in Target (next to Giant Eagle and Planet Fitness) is a hidden gem! The pharmacists (Brittany and her colleague - I forgot her name, I think it starts with the letter K?) are experts and informative. They are both so helpful and provide great customer service. Today, I got my Covid Vaccine (they have Moderna!) and pharmacist Brittany made it painless! Her technique was legit?. Thanks for promoting vaccines and believing in science!”
“The pharmacists here are so helpful, efficient, and kind (special shout out to Katie and Danielle). I continue to come here even though it’s no longer the most convenient location for me, just because I trust the staff that much. Give them all a raise immediately please and thank you!”
“I love this shop! The workers are nice and the variety of snacks is up there with 7-Eleven, honestly makes it hard to choose what you want in a good way, keep going!”
“The guys running this place and the guys working are awesome guys. Everytime I go in they're always nice and friendly. They usually have everything I need all in one shop and the cigarette prices aren't bad at all.”
“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!”
“These guys are great! I found myself with a flat tire in the parking lot of a nearby business. I called Ray Platts Auto and Jake immediately drove down to where I was stranded to put a donut on my car for me. Then he ordered a new tire for me and put it on as soon as it came in. Really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable - excellent service!!!”
“I recently moved to Michigan, however, Uni-mart was hands down my favorite place to shop for some quick goods. I already miss it, the employees are very kind, prices are on the cheaper side. I hope they get much more business.”
“This location is close to our home so we go constantly, and it’s easily the best Sheetz we’ve been to. The store is always clean and the employees are so friendly. Highly recommend!”
“I love coming here because they have friendly staff and cheap products. They usually always have the zyn MG and flavor I like, and their prices are comparable to other places in the area. The only thing I've never purchased here is gas. They do have a car wash next door which I believe will give you a discount with had if you buy together.”
“I go to this store frequently. They people who own this store are kind and there are two sides. A grocery side with snacks, drink, cigarettes and cigars. The other side has accessories such as jewelry, sunglasses, weaves, hats, lots and lots of different nice items. I highly recommend supporting this store if you live on sheraden or if your visiting the neighborhood. It's important to support our local business owners because without this store we wouldn't have a convenient and easy place to stop for small items. When a lot of us ride the bus over here.”
“This is my favorite 7/11, it's always clean, well organized and has a great atmosphere. The employees want to be there. Shout out to Cinnamon & Deja they are amazing!!”
“Ellie is the best! She is friendly and a hard worker. She always takes care of her customers. Glad to have store nearby like this thank you. She deserves a raise and a promotion.”
“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.”
