my favorite hoagies are the ones that either me or my mama makes.

Any corner sub shop in Revere, Massachusetts knows how to make the perfect Italian sub. NO MAYO -- NO LETTUCE -- extra "hots", and only the best mortadella, hot cappy, salami, provolone, tomatoes, pickles, onions and oregano with that oil they drizzle over top in an Italian roll....God, I miss Massachusetts.

I live in a small town of about 2400 folks in southeastern Pa. and we have 4 deli type places and the next town has two, but the one I like the best is the one that is run by an italian family and they use the best italian meats, oil, oregano, provolone and hot peppers that are minced and the freshest roll.

@janaatwg what are they?
The best hoagie I ever had was of course made by my grandma.
I have had real good hoagies all over and the thing that makes them great is the bread and the meat/cheese.
I love hot pepper mash on my hoagie its what makes it authentic.

The best subs are here in Western NY. 99.9% of places use Costanzo's sub rolls and nothing beats them. Whenever I travel, I notice that most places use regular bread which makes them just big sandwiches.
If you ever come to the Buffalo area get a chicken finger sub (since chicken fingers like ours can't be found elsewhere or at least I have yet to find) tossed in butter and hot sauce on a Costanzo roll or the regular turkey, ham, assorted, etc. Either way they are delicious!

My vote is for the Italian market down the street from me. They make a meatball grinder and a sausage and pepper one that will bring you to tears.

In regard to the question of good hoagies in NYC, I really enjoy the Italian special sandwich they have at Faicco's. It's 10 dollars last time I checked (I know that's a bit steep but it's a HUGE sandwich) and it has a good selection of meats (prosciutto, cappy, and hot or sweet soppressata) as well as fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers or sun dried tomato, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. Faicco's is at 260 Bleecker Street (between 6th and 7th avenues). Hope this helps!

Bahn mi. Num Pang on 11th, Baoguette, Nicky's Vietnamese, and Sau Voi Corp are all good.

I have a deep and abiding love for a hot salami, mortadella and provolone sub, toasted on a soft Italian roll, with sport peppers and tomatoes, and just a hint of oil, vinegar and pepper. Just don't try and skimp on the provolone.

I grew up eating subs at Mike's Subs in NJ. I refuse to eat at a place that has the oil and vinegar pre mixed since I like extra vin and light oil. Also, oregano is important, but fresh bread is the most important aspect to me.

Up here in Connecticut land we call them Grinders...and I still long for an egg&pepper grinder but never see them anymore. Ya gotta taste just one before you die.

@Jerzee It is Marrone's in West Grove. Cappriotti's is a big time chain (with it's start in this area), but Pat and his mom and sis have it hands down. We are heavily Italian in this area due to the stone quarries that they immigrated here for decades ago and their delis are quite an influence here. You speak of hot pepper mash-maybe that is what they use. Hot and tasty. Most hoagies are made with the larger cut rings-not the same.
