Pittsburgh Barbecue Company

? Pittsburgh Barbecue Company

These barbecue experts have been serving authentic North Carolina BBQ to the Pittsburgh area for over ten seasons. These guys are so good that they were voted number one barbecue in Pittsburgh by Pittsburgh Magazine. Their North Carolina-style BBQ is a very slow cooked pork, generally smoked for a minimum of 16-18 hours at a very low temperature. By slow smoking at a low temperature, the meat is allowed to “age” without drying out. It is no wonder the Pittsburgh Barbeque Company is a hit-yinz mouth is probably watering just hearing about it. Let them serve you up some delicious smoked brisket or ribs that falls right off the bone!
