Who doesn’t like a good chicken sandwich? This one is sure to impress with sweet tea-brined chicken on a toasted roll, topped with ketchup-braised onion, ranch, and shredded lettuce.

Chipped Ham Fries

A Pittsburgher’s dream is a good, chipped ham sandwich. This is a culinary take on a local favorite with chipped ham, sauce, cheddar sauce, and garlic butter on top of French fries.

Cold Pierogi Salad

Pierogies and Pittsburgh just go together. This salad is a Pittsburgh-inspired delicacy with sour cream dressing, green onion, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, onion powder, shredded cheddar, and diced bacon.

Empanadas, the popular stuffed pastry treat, are available at PNC Park this season in chicken or a special vegan offering, both served with ajo crema.

A full footlong hot dog with cornbread coating, yellow mustard, and pico de gallo, served in a special baseball bat boat.

Kettle Nacho

These nachos are definitely from the Burgh, topped with kettle-cooked chips with kielbasa, caramelized onion, pico de gallo, and sriracha ketchup.

Nutella Beignets

A New Orleans favorite with a twist comes to PNC Park in the form of fresh beignets with caramel and whipped cream.

Smoked Turkey Leg with Mac & Cheese

This mammoth is a must-have and served with smoked Gouda mac and cheese, BBQ sauce, and coleslaw.

PNC PARK FAVORITES

In addition to the new food offerings, there are also updated concession features and specialty souvenir items for the 2026 season at PNC Park.

Tenders Love & Chicken

This fan-favorite stand has added two additional locations throughout the ballpark in Sections 127 and 322.

The Pirates Treasure Map

A fan favorite with an updated design and new hidden features for guests to explore around PNC Park.

Miller Lite Beer Bat

The Miller Lite Beer Bat returns this season and will be available at select stands throughout PNC Park.

The iconic ice cream helmets are back, and this year, fans can try to collect all three Pirates logo helmet cups

Manny's BBQ

Left Field

This newly remodeled barbecue stand is named after former Pirates catcher Manny Sanguillen, who has been known to hang around and sign autographs for fans. Eagle-eyed snack connoisseurs will note the new addition of the topped Mrs. T's mini pierogies, which you can get with either BBQ pork or chicken.

On The Menu: house-smoked BBQ pork and chicken, mac n cheese, topped mini pierogis, and slaw

Chicken on the Hill & Cannonball Burger

Right Field

Two local Pittsburgh restaurants (Coop De Ville and Station) helped inspire the menus at these spots, and both are located right near seats and tables along the outfield wall, where you can sit and enjoy your meal.

On The Menu: Nashville hot chicken sandwich, double ranch burgers, big mozzarella cheese sticks, plant burgers

Pop's Plaza

Section 132

Be sure to take advantage of all the new improvements in this section of the ballpark. The tech here lets you get everything delicious in one place, with kiosks to order from a central location and get your crab fries, ballpark burgers, and more.

On The Menu: Chickie's & Pete's Crabfries (get extra cheese, dipping these things gets addictive), burgers

Primanti Bros.

Section 108

You can't go wrong with a Primanti's sandwich, piled high with fresh deli meats and cheeses and topped off with French fries and coleslaw. A true Pittsburgh classic. Just around the corner from this booth is Wings & Things by Caliente, another regional favorite selling buckets of fresh wings and boneless wings.

First-Timers Read This: The Pitts-Burger is the go-to order here: a ground beef patty, coleslaw, and fries, all piled on freshly baked white bread.

Fat Head's Bullpen Bar

Center Field

It's easy to find good beer throughout the park (North Country's Fireman's Red is my go-to during game day), but the Bullpen Bar specifically features the flavors brewed right here in the city, including rotating favorites from Threadbare, Cinderlands, Aslin, and other top-notch pours.

The Market

Section 118 (Home Plate)

Try something healthier at this grab-and-go space. The quinoa salad is a filling, delicious alternative to hot dogs, loaded with peppers, tomatoes, and a balsamic dressing.

On The Menu: Grab-n-go salads, vegan bruschetta wrap

Deli Dogs & Nachoritas

Sections 135 and 137

Hot dogs are the quintessential ballpark food. Find the best in the park as you head to the bottom of the rotunda in left field and head towards center field.

On The Menu: chili, classic, and Chicago-style dogs inspired by the local Smallman Street Deli

Sweet Spot

Behind Section 106

Treat yourself to a helmet cookie sundae, served just as it says, with a fresh-baked cookie on top of ice cream in a souvenir helmet sundae bowl. No Pittsburgh home is complete without a few of these on hand.

Caliente Pizza

Sections 113-114, 123, 313, 304

Already a fan favorite at other Pittsburgh stadiums, Caliente Pizza & Draft House is serving up giant slices of Sicilian, pepperoni, and cheese pizza to fans at PNC Park. They also run the Wings & Things stand next to Primantis for your fix of giant buckets of mouthwatering wings.

Cinderlands Corner Bar

Bottom of the Left Field Rotunda

Easily the best-kept secret in the park right now, but one I'm happy to share. Head to the bottom of the left field rotunda, keep walking around to the back of the structure, and grab the best beer in the park direct from Cinderlands.

Cans Available: Raise It, Squish, Lil Cinder Lime, Full Squish
