Filled with a baffling array of merchandise in a deceptively small space, the store places a heavy emphasis on Pittsburgh sporting apparel.. The Scene
Deli, meaning "variety," not deli meaning "cold cuts on rye," apparently. A smallish circular-shaped room packed to bursting with everything from Steelers T-shirts to tennis shoes to ceramic ape and dog heads. Ascend the spiral staircase and visit their upstairs storeroom/sales floor, where overstock and additional merchandise is kept.

The Goods
Many, many Pittsburgh sports-related T-shirts, from NFL-licensed items to very homemade-looking merchandise. If someone has yelled something at a player in Three Rivers stadium, there's probably a T-shirt that repeats the slogan/curse somewhere in town, and this would probably be the place to find it. The small shoes section contains a few pairs that are hard to find (like low-cut Chuck Taylors) elsewhere in town. The Deli is next door to a more conventional sporting apparel store, and they tend to stock complementary merchandise, rather than the same things as each other.
