I hadn't even fully ordered yet and the staff was already assembling our sandwiches. It seemed they were listening pretty carefully while I was placing the order with the very unenthusiastic guy at the counter.We had the proscuitto, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers and added broccoli rabe. I lived in Italy for almost a year and this reminded me of something I would get there almost until I got it. The mozzarella tasted distinctively like cream cheese-- it had a seriously funny taste to it and the consistency of cream cheese as well. I would not get it again because we both ended up picking it off of our sandwiches. The broccoli rabe had absolutely no salt whatsoever on it. We ended up picking this off as well. Vegetables are the kind of things that are really important to salt well while cooking. They are like pasta in the sense that if not salted while cooking, no amount of salt added after will help. You can look at this like maybe they left the salt out to be health conscious, but when you think you are eating a Primo's hoagie, that idea is quickly squashed. The second reason I thought this could be is because lunch meat, especially proscuitto, is so naturally salty. If this is the reason, in this case, I don't think it works. The plus side is the great quality of proscuitto they use. It has very little fat on it. They shave it thin, and pile it up. Try the potato salad! It's great. Red onions, a little hint of sour cream and some red potatoes! Love it!!

I wish there was a selection of stars for location, service, product, taste, etc. But there isn't so the 3 stars are for the sandwiches. I frequent this place 3-4X/month and always spend more than $25. I go here, in spite of the lack of enthusiasm in the help and their inability to get orders right, because eventhough there are myriad places to get a hoagie in this neighborhood, most of them stink. For some reason these guys refuse to cut their hoagies, even when requested. I got 2 to go last night, asked for hots on the side and the sandwiches cut in half. I picked them up, with extras, and, again, specifically asked if they were cut and the manager assured me they were. MY FAULT, I was running late and trusted him. There I was, at the Philles game, ripping an otherwise beautiful creation in half...with no hot peppers. These aren't major screw ups but you would think, especially in this economy, small businesses would be on top of their game all the time. I guess my $100 or so per month isn't valued enough to listen and complete my order accurately. I guess I'll be spending some of that money on new hoagie research. It's a shame because it's a great sandwich.

A buddy was stopping over my place and said he'd pick us up a Deoblo (sp?) hoagie. It cost $20.xx, but you have it for 2 days, the thing's huge with excellent roll. The hoagie was superior. I called to get one delivered an other time and was told the delivery stops at 3PM. (Scratching my head) Thanks, Danielle for your "head's up." Certainly will keep it in mind.

the hoagie is sub-par. the service is weak. the food is overpriced. walk a block and go to fanshawe.

Let me say first, I love the Primo Hoagies!! We always get hoagies from here, especially when we have company over. They are always a big hit. The two times I have been there, the customer service was horrible. I called an order in and a "young" girl had quite the attitude when taking my order. The next time i walked in and placed an order, and another young girl walked up to the counter looking at her cell phone saying...can i help you. Ah yeah you can get off your phone. She never made eye contact, never smiled...nothing. During this same visit.....I overheard a lot of conversation about a tv show, but no one was making my sandwich. It was near closing, and it wasn't crowded at all. Oh and one more thing....they close at 8, i called at 745 pm and they wouldn't take my one sandwich order. They said they were cleaning up. Uh last time i checked, you take orders until closing unless it is stated elsewhere. Again, I love Primo Hoagies!! Just not this location. I wouldn't recommend it all. I will be going to the one on Welsh, or somewhere else. Horrible!
