PITTSBURG, CALIFORNIA
is one of the larger cities in our San Francisco service area, with a population of close to 57,000. This city is located within Contra Costa County, and it was actually formerly known as New York of the Pacific and Black Diamond. Los Medanos College is one of the schools that the area is known for, and it's also one of Pittsburg's top employers. The downtown area is currently being revamped and redeveloped, along with major reconstruction on the waterfront areas and an extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District transit system. As a visitor, you may want to take advantage of the Pittsburg Delta View Golf Course. While you're here, you've got to eat, and maybe even stop for a drink or two, so there are our favorite choices for bars and restaurants in the 94565 zip code.
♦ New Mecca Restaurant ♦
New Mecca Restaurant is one of the better places to dine in the Pittsburg area, with some of the most wonderful service that you will encounter in the entire Bay Area. This is Mexican food at its best. It's true that it's just a small restaurant, and it's very retro inside, but there's a reason that they are always packed with happy customers. It's just that good. And the prices are low too! It's not the most authentic Mexican food around, more Americanized, but it's Americanized in the good way. Just trust us. You'll love it. You can find New Mecca on Railroad Avenue near the intersection with East 3rd Street.
♦ Mehran Restaurant ♦
Mehran Restaurant focuses on delicious Indian and Pakistani food, and we really have fallen in love with all of their delicious dishes. The chicken kabobs are one of our favorite items here, and we also love their paneer and pakoras. The lunch buffet is just wonderful, perhaps a bit more expensive than most other lunch buffets, but then again look at the fabulous food that you get here! Much better than those other buffets for certain. The staff is just wonderful here, very nice and so accommodating. The location of Mehran Restaurant is on Railroad Avenue near the intersection with El Camino Drive.
♦ IHOP Restaurant ♦
You may not expect to find IHOP, International House of Pancakes, on this list, but we love this particular location! They have some of the very best breakfasts around including delectable pancakes and waffles, and they also have lots of lunch and dinner favorites that you may not even be aware of, including delicious hamburgers, steaks, soups, salads, and wraps. You may not realize that IHOP began right here in our own Los Angeles back in the late fifties, and that's why we love it so much. It's a true Californian tradition. The location of IHOP Restaurant is on Loveridge Road near the intersection with East Leland Road.
♦ La Veranda Ristorante Italiano ♦
La Veranda Ristorante Italiano is one of those restaurants that is both romantic for those special evenings with the one you love, and perfect for get togethers with family and friends too. It's certainly very classy and elegant, and we love the bar area here too. This is one of the restaurants that is helping to bring about the revitalization of our city, and between the amazing ambiance and the sensational food, you can see why this would bring more people into the area! It's just so good. The pastas are our favorite things here, but you can't go wrong with any of the poultry or steak enrtrees either. The location of La Veranda Ristorante Italiano is on Railroad Avenue near East 4th Street.
