You might try Gio’s Deli & Cafe in Oxford.

Milanos in Dayton Ohio is very good.

Gio's Deli in Oxford. 301 South just before intersection with 466. You must try it!

Hey Frayed, I grew up
in north central Mass and my brother lives in Ashby. What’s the name of this great deli in Westminster? BTW, the best of anything Italian down here is at Mazzaro’s Italian market in St. Pete. Nothing else locally compares to it.

May I suggest the “White House” in Atlantic City. Or perhaps you could enjoy one of our distinctive southern dishes, like Shrimp & Grits…since you are in the South now. Embrace it. Seems you prefer NJ. Merry Christmas. See ya.

White House subs are the best. I would drive there from Virginia just for their subs. The “Italian special” is amazing!

Mazzaro's in St. Petersburg was mentioned a number of times in the comments. I just wanted to add that you can order from them and they will ship to you; maybe not subs, but you can order meat, bread, etc.

Assume Jersey Mikes is a facetious reply.last visit to TV we each got two for the price of one - our first and last.not just the worst excuse for a sub in 7 decades, but worst excuse for anything we’ve ever consumed.
Appearance, texture, taste, and digestibility - pick a category

I cringed just a little reading this.

Jersey Mike’s is good if you don’t know what good is. If you do, then you know it’s a pale imitation.

If you wrote Subway, you should be disqualified from any further comment on this topic.

Gio’s is ok, but their bread is not up to par. And it’s all about the bread.

The hunt continues for me. At some point I’ll go and try that place in Clermont that was mentioned. And I guess there’s some Italian markets in Tampa that maybe we get to at some point to try.

Oh, for an Amighetti Special!

Publix makes a great sub and you order exactly what you want on it. Their bread is really good. Light crunch on the outside and soft dough.

Agree 100% and last time I went to a Jersey Mikes they cut the meat while I was there. Claim that it is fresher that way. Took too long to make it.
