Where's and who's your favorite sub shop.

Potbelly's is the best.

Mike, the Reuben at Tony's looks to die for. I wish Montgomery weren't "such a fur piece."

Palmetto Subs here in SC have great Italian subs. Lettuce and onions sliced like angel hair. Plenty of "juice"and delicious meats. Also, the bread thickness is in the "Goldilocks Zone". Their Kosher half-pickles are to die for.

Sounds good. If Anyone ever visits the Hershey PA (chocolate world, antique car show, etc.) let me know. We have two great places for subs. Both are great yet different on style.

There is the Guido Italian sub and a meatball sub with cheese. The pepperoni pizza is always voted best in Columbus, Ohio by the peoples poll for about 20 years running. The darling media idiots always pick some goat cheese cauliflower crust junk.

+1 for Tony’s, especially the original location

Lots of great places out there. Hope to try one or two of the above. Just had a local sub yesterday. Yum.

No more italian sub fans out there?

Guess not. Thanks gentlemen.

Years back we were at Scottsdale (Arizona) Gun Club, to Rich for me. We went just across the street to a sub shop we saw a sign for.
By the door was a sign saying "Best Sub in Arizona". Made a comment about it and an old guy wiping outside tables pulled out a wad of cash, spoke up saying if it wasn’t the best sub we ever ate he would give us our money back.
As we finished our sandwiches he comes back, "How much do I owe you?"
Nothing, best ever.

Six months later we go back, can’t find it, nobody had heard it. The location we thought it was was a field with old growth mesquite and creosote bushes.
We must of had lunch in Brigadoon.

That reminds me of a place we stopped on I-81 in New York state while en route to my favorite fishing lake in Ontario CA. It was grocerette midway up NY only a mile from the interstate that made the best subs. Then the third time I went there 4 years after the last they were nowhere in sight, gone. Some other business moved in. A very sad day. I asked about them at the huge gas station next to the highway and the young lady had no clue about the place. So, I asked if she knows where I can get a really good italian sub. She pointed to the Subway across the road. I passed on the subway. Their rolls are not a real italian roll. Plus, a bit skimpy on the contents too. Good news is I found a great burger place in a makeshift train depot about 45 minutes north.

Anyone in the area of Harrisburg/Hershey, look up Hoageez sub shop. Great Italian rolls from Philadelphia, sliced to order, etc.

I don't know about subs, but Katz's Deli made a fantastic Reuben. Almost as good as mine.

RANDY,RANDY,RANDY----Guess What----Rubens are NOT Italian!!!

Hip

P.S. My opinion is that if you get away from the New York City area Italian Food goes south rather quickly!

Oh well, neither am I; but then again, I'm not Jewish either.

Years ago while visiting Mystic Seaport in Conn. my wife and I visited a 5 Star rated restaurant nearby.

Much less than 100mi. (as the crow flies) from my home on Long Island.

We both were vary disappointed and felt the food was bland!

Hip

Italian subs should be in their own class. A must (for my taste) is imported capocolla ham from Italy and a vinagrette made special for subs. Basic oil and vinegar just misses the mark. That ham is virtually impossible to find in a grocery store ever since Covid-19.

The chain Jersey Mikes makes a very good Italian sub.

Call me crazy. But, the Wife and I went for a little drive to get a sub at our favorite sub shop yesterday. Made it there in like 3.5 hours. Best subs ever. The only sub I ever scored a perfect ten.
Casapulla's Deli South, just a stone's throw from HWY 1, Rehoboth Delaware.

That's quite a drive for a sub, they must be good. Sounds like a special occasion place to go.

It was supposed to be a foodie trip with an overnight stay. But the near constant rain turned us away.
What put Casapulla's to the top is that their tomatoes are always deep red, sweet, meaty and perfectly ripe.

Custom - Casapulla’s was founded in Elsmere DE near Wilmington. Quite a few other locations around the Newark/Wilmington DE area. All a lot closer to Hershey than Rehoboth Beach. Come down to the very SE corner of PA sometime and I’ll buy you one.

Not too sure it would be considered "Italian" but in the distant past there were a few Nautilus sub shops in Nashville.
They are remembered today for those lucky enough to have enjoyed them back then.
The aroma given off by a nautilus sub would spread over the entire office.

No one today knows the secret sauce recipe.

I still long for another of those smoked Thuringer subs from that little sub shop near the campus in Las Vegas (NM).

Everything around here today is one of the chain run shops and are at best OK.

Thanks WV. Might take you up on that one day. I know there are others including the first one at Wilmington. But my Wife and my first overnight date was in Lewes DE. So, the area has sentimental value. But you got me hungry for one again. I will hop on their websites shortly.

TC. I hear that. Our previous favorite sub shop had their special vinegarette that just filled the car with a special aroma. They closed 20 years ago. Way back was a small sub shop called Billy's on the ocean side of Route one south of Rehoboth (?) with great subs.

WV. Thanks for piquing my interest in the other places. I had no idea we drove within a few miles of the one in Hockessin on 41 near route 7 on our way to Lewes/Rehoboth. Just missed it.

Score! Just got back from Hockessin with Casapulla's subs for dinner tonight. It's going to be a tough wait. The Mrs. won't be home from work until after 6. Hope they aren't soggy after 6+ hours. I turned the open side of the roll down. Fridge is at 36F.

Eh. Not bad. Not as good as the ones near Rehoboth DE. Tomatoes were pale and not premium Q. Happy 4th.
