Pittsburgh Rick’s Ribbon Cutting on
Thursday, November 6, 2014
Leesburg, VA (November 4, 2014) – Pittsburgh Rick’s will celebrate their
grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony, officiated by Leesburg
Mayor Kristen Umstattd, at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2014.
Pittsburgh Rick’s is located at 116 E. Market Street.
Rick Allison, former owner of The Dock in Lansdowne, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park, NY. He’s also a Pittsburgh native, and has combined those two interests
in his latest Leesburg restaurant.
Allison’s sandwich-concept follows the Pittsburgh style, with fresh-cut french fries and coleslaw
on top of the sandwiches. As the creator of every item on the menu, Allison hopes to attract
the same following he had at his former restaurant. Sandwiches range in the area of $6 to $8,
and there are also breakfast options for around $4, including a bananas foster French toast and
pineapple upside-down pancakes.
The two-level restaurant has an upstairs bar with a beer and wine selection that seats 30 to 40
and has five televisions complete with NFL Sunday Ticket. Allison expects to have acoustic
music on weekends.
The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m., Monday – Thursday and Sunday. 7:00 a.m. –
11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information visit Pittsburgh Rick’s facebook page.
