Sabastino’s Pizza and Deli

Had the most delicious sub for an amazing price.
It was a weekday and I had no clue what to get during my lunch break. I had heard some coworkers mention this place before and figured it was the time to try it since it was right around the corner. Being in a small plaza near Casa Di Caponi, it’s hard to tell there is even a pizza/​sub shop there. My boyfriend and I pulled up in this deserted plaza wondering if the place was even open. Walking into the place, it was very small and seemed like a hole in the wall (isn’t it ironic that these kind of places have the best food?). Taking the advice of my coworkers, I came in to order a buffalo chicken sandwich, but, looking on the menu, the only thing listed was a chicken finger sandwich. I asked the guy worker and he said it was no problem and he would make me one anyone at no extra charge. He was very friendly and wasn’t put off by our questioning what so ever. I decided to get the large sub considering my boyfriend and I were splitting. The price of the sub was around $ 8 or $ 9. As I was waiting for the sub, I noticed signs in the shop stating that they make their own ciabatta sub rolls in house. This intrigued me. As I watched the guy assemble my sub with freshly cooked chicken tenders, I was in awe by the size of the sub. It was basically the length of a baguette! I think he put a total of 5 or 6 decent sized tenders on it along with the requested toppings of tomatoes, hot peppers, lettuce and provolone.
We ended up leaving and eating elsewhere, but as I was eating, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The bread was super fresh: soft and absorbent in the middle and slightly hard on the outside. It was the kind of bread one dreams about for subs. The chicken was crispy, yet juicy, and melded perfectly with the hot sauce, mayo and toppings. On top of the quality of the sub, once again, I was surprised the quantity. I would have been full with half of my half! I could have easily made three meals out of the entire thing if I wasn’t splitting. The amount for the price blew me away. We also took a cannoli to go which had a disappointing soggy shell, but we were so pleased by the sub that we would still come back here. I’m sure a plain deli meat sub would be equally as delicious with the bread that they have.
Overall, I was very pleased with the food, service and price. Considering they are also a pizza joint, and I am a pizza fanatic, I look forward to coming back here for it. Although, it will be hard to choose anything over their subs at this point.
