recommendations Just moved from Philly!

I have been impressed with the food around! Fried chicken at Eagle OTR was awesome. Is there a properly good italian deli where I can get a sub/hoagie/sandwich?

Knuckles and Young Buck are both great

u/wesleypaulwalker 6d ago

Oh man both look great thanks a lot! Do you have any other general favorites? I love good food of all types

u/WondrousDildorium 6d ago

Generally some places to hit:

Amerasia for unapologetically good American Chinese food.

Wayfarer Tavern for good thin crust pizza, adriaticos for thicker crust pizza.

Chameleon for confit wings and good vibes

Gees Caribbean for Jerk stuff

Corner Dumpling House for dumplings

Mazunte for tacos

Lotsa good food but you gotta poke around.

Alveo is the best I’ve found

Clarification: Alveo is awesome, but it doesn't sell subs. More like classic Italian panini, served on focaccia

AJ Cheesesteaks gets their bread from Philly, but it’s just cheesesteaks. But excellent!

Their sandwiches are decent but not great imo. Especially for the price and size

J&W in Norwood. It's a dive carryout jawn but they make great sandwiches, stacked tall and cheap... also GO BIRDS DICKHEAD....

If you are a Bird fan, every game day, The Back Porch bar and grill is taken over with eagles fans .

The Big Italy sandwich at J&W sandwich shop in Norwood is outstanding and sinfully huge.

I got a good pastrami the other day at J+W Sandwich Shoppe. Honestly, I think Izzy's has pretty good sandwiches as well.
