Best Pittsburgh breakfast?
I need some recommendations for a breakfast in Pittsburgh, PA. It will be Saturday morning, so many of the quality brunch locations won't apply.

If you're open to "greasy spoon diners" rather than "quality brunch locations", then earlier this year I had an excellent Saturday morning breakfast at a place in the Strip called DeLuca's. Very crowded, however the lines moved pretty quickly.

If you're in the burbs, the Eat and Park's have a decent breakfast. You can get off the menu or they have a breakfast buffet.
DeLuca's is good... isn't there a Peppi's in the strip, too?
For that matter, you could roam around the strip on a Saturday morning and get coffee in several vendors, some baked goods in others... just walk around and create your own brunch. I've done that before... many times.
If you have decent weather, it's a huge bonus!

Pittsburgh? Bwha. This place is a dump.
Regarding Eat 'n Park that the other poster recommended, expect Denny's quality, atmosphere, and ambience. Nothing more.
Anyways, perhaps the OP can help us out a bit better by letting us know roughly where's he/she's staying. Downtown? Northern 'burbs?

Pamela's is noted in another thread about top places for pancakes. But I'm not a big pancake eater. Good, not sure if worth a trip out of the way. I never remember which location is the original, I think Shadyside, although they're also in Oakland and the Strip. I like DeLuca's as well, will be packed on Saturday as that's when everyone goes to the Strip to shop, but typically not long to wait even then.
Breakfast doesn't seem to me to be a time when fancy food is in order, so these are really typical sort of place. Heading to the Strip on a Saturday morning is a typical Pittsburgh outing, just wander through the shops which are mostly about food anyway.
These work if you are staying somewhere central. If not, there may be other more convenient suggestions.

The one in the Strip is open 24/7, I think, but the menu doesn't have any dedicated breakfast, nor does the suburban menu, at least according to the web site http://www.primantibros.com/
