The City Cast Pittsburgh team loves treats, but eating out can get expensive — so we set our sights on the best bites that won’t break the bank with a $10 budget, not including tax and tip. And we’re not talking about a single slice of pizza — we’ve got breakfast biscuits, sit-down dinners, and even sushi!

Wise County Cafe

📍Allegheny West

Their breakfast biscuits come in under $10, and newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco’s favorite is the Your Way Sandwich with a mushroom and oat patty. But if you prefer a simple biscuit, order one à la carte with your choice of spread.

No. 1 Sushi Sushi

📍Downtown

Thought you couldn’t get raw fish on a budget? Think again! The menu is extensive, and you can even order some of the chef’s specialty rolls for under $10. We love the Futo Maki, or consider a two-roll combo and the veggie lover’s roll.

Chicken Latino

📍Beechview

It’s hard to pass up fried plantains or a cup of horchata, but if you’re minding your wallet, the best deals are the enormous soft chicken burrito and the one-quarter chicken meal combo, which comes with two sides like fries, coleslaw, rice, or beans.
