10 best Italian subs in the DC area

I recently chose the 10 best Italian subs on the DC area on my eponymous blog. I divided them by type of bread grouping in order, Mangialardos , A
Liter I, and Vace among the hard, heavy bread OG group Among lighter hard crust subs, I ranked Gemelli’s and The Italian Store Westover at the top followed by Bub and POP’s, and then Capo Tyson’s and grazie Grazie downtown. And I added Stachowski as a soft roll. I since have heard they now use a crusty roll which would be a big improvement. I hope they’ve made it smaller.

I welcome, as always, comments on my choices and rationale(s). And suggestions for other sub shops

Coming soon. Pastrami sandwiches. And Barbecue. I’ve been asked to turn my. Attention to banh mi and I suppose that would be less fattening than most of my surveys.

Our little town in northern Westchester had a deli cited for making one of the best fresh mozzarellas in the tri-state area. As you might imagine, their Italian heroes, made on arthur ave bread, were otherworldly. Since then, a good homemade mozz has become a major factor in what separates good from great for me.

you are doing God’s work!

best,

ps I think you may have a typo in this line “Old School Italian market. aches high quality meats and cheese.”

pps I don’t want to start a holy war, but is that mayo on your sub?
