Man, this address sure knows how to make some killer sandwiches! Back in the day, this used to be Chickie's, and I had a hoagie here maybe 12 years ago which may have the single best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Fast forward 12 years, and now its Antonio's Deli...let me tell you something......still AMAZING! My Brother and I came here for a breakfast hoagie. We got an Olde Italian to split since we were going to Reading Terminal Market right after. How was the hoagie? Delicious! The Olde Italian comes on the best bread in the land IMO (Sarcones...seeded roll...you just cant beat it!). So crusty and great texture. This sandwich had all the goodies on it including proscuitto, capicola and sopressata. They use a crumbled sharp provolone cheese here (think blue cheese crumbles, but sharp provolone!) that is so freaking good! The veggies include roasted red peppers, lettuce tomato and onion. They top it with some olive oil and seasonings. Hoagie perfection! This was my favorite sandwich that I ate in Philadelphia and my favorite sandwich on my 1 week trip back East! I LOVED IT. If you are in Philadelphia and want the best hoagie around, come here! I can't wait to go back to Philadelphia one of these years and try out some more of their sandwiches. Just perfect! Thanks, Antonio's! read more

I wandered into this small Italian deli/specialty shop the other day not aware of anything about this place . And to say I was impressed was an understatement ! The chicken cutlet sandwich and meatball sandwich (I don't eat meatballs from many places) I got were outstanding ! The cutlets were seasoned and cooked perfectly not too thick . And the meatballs were tender and absolutely delicious ! They use Sarcones bread which everyone knows is the best ! This place has some of the best sandwiches in the city ! read more

Hoagie menu looks phenomenal and they cut/prepare everything fresh. Imported Italian items on shelves as well. This place has a very homey, vibe to it and I think the food is great as well. The salad was very big and their cutlets are very tasty. I'd try this spot again 100%, and think I should try the hoagie or meatballs next! Large portions, fantastic service, and they have a really quick takeout turnaround. read more

Steps away from Pat's and Geno's in the Italian Market--but a million times better. One of the best chicken cutlets in the city. The perfect addition to their caprese sandwich. read more

This is my favorite kind of little deli/hoagie spot. Hoagie was on point and the place seemed to be run by a family, which means they care. I'll definitely be back and I would highly recommend the fried tomato hoagie read more

Had a great experience at Antonio's recently on a quick visit to Philly. We met the man himself and he was so kind making conversation with us as he crafted our sandwiches. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The deli had tons of options for both meat eaters and vegetarians, and lots of chips and side options as well. Classic deli vibes! I had the famous Eggplant sub which was very good if you enjoy broccolini and tomato! My boyfriend had the chicken pesto sub which he said was wonderful. Would recommend for a quick deli option with flavorful food and great company! read more

Antonio's Deli - Eggplant Sandwich and Chicken Cutlet Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great fresh food. The service was quick and on time. Small place just grab and go. Online ordering was easy. Just remember to 'cut in half' as an option. The bread is made in store and delicious. I like bread but truly couldn't get the hoagie in my mouth for a bite! Next time, I would ask for them to scoop/gut the roll. Everyone enjoyed their sandwich, great stop before the game. read more

Antonio's Deli - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Prices are outrageous. Hoagies are double what an expensive deli charges. I don't know how they get away with this

Their buffalo chicken cutlet has gone down hill very fast. You expect there to be at least a drop of buffalo sauce on it but each time I order it comes with less and less sauce. Dry ass sandwich that I do not recommend ordering, unless they can locate the buffalo sauce in their store and start using it. A shame how terrible it got. read more

We order from Antonio's at least once a month (okay maybe twice a month), and we have utilized them for catering as well. Our orders are never wrong and are always done when promised. They don't force you to leave a tip on their iPad, which I think is annoying at most places, but if they did do that here, I would certainly oblige. The old Italian is a favorite, along with the crispy tomato, but don't sleep on their veggie hoagie, which is by far the best veggie one I've ever had. They're all FAT sandwiches and totally worth the $~14, especially because you can save half for lunch the next day. When ordering catering via email, I requested a later drop off than usual, but the accommodated us very graciously. I was able to customize our hoagie tray (adding more turkey than ham), and it was very affordable compared to other options we considered. I got a phone call to follow up on specifics and take credit card info. Everyone was raving about the hoagies, and it didn't hurt that we had leftovers for a few days! read more

First time here. Had the Italian hoagie. Lunch meat cut when making the hoagie so good fresh Jersey tomatoes,lettuce,onions salami, coteghino, mortadella &provolone Nice employees, great menu quick service read more

Probably the best hoagie I had in Philadelphia. I've had a few local spots, but after struggling in the Italian market on Thanksgiving Eve, Antonio's was salvation. Went for the old Italian with mayo added, and it was excellent. My biggest hidden gem reccomendation is the potato salad, which was divine. Will be back again soon for the chicken cutlet. Do attend. read more

Antonio's deli is a South Philly staple all the sandwiches are super delicious and Service was very fast. Highly recommend.

I was looking to order a hoagie from a place I had never tried before and ended up ordering an Italian hoagie from Antonio's. It was a delicious hoagie, made up of fresh meats on a fresh Sarcone's roll. The roll was a bit thick, which threw off the meat to bread ratio. I also added some potato salad to the order, and it was just basic potato salad, lacking flavor. If you order a hoagie from Antonio's you can ask them to gut the roll, which is probably the better choice. And skip the potato salad. read more

Best hoagie spot in all of Philly. The service is awesome and the quality of the food is fantastic. When you're in this city you have to try it out!!! I highly recommend the fried tomato hoagie. The bread and the cheese were fantastic and I loved the combination of veggies. Every component of this sandwich compliments there other! read more

Great hoagies and chicken cutlets!Staff is very friendly!! Try to get there a few times a month!

I did get back to Philly in May for my 70th class reunion . Picked up my rental at the airport and headed to Antonio's for the best Italian Hogie. Yo best ever. I don't know we're all the rain came from that day but I sat in my car and devoured the entire hoagie. Believe me it was worth the trip. Looking forward to my next trip.. Do they mail them out if I place an order Next day delivery??? read more

Fried green tomatoes hoagie was delicious. Would definitely recommend getting it. Great little deli

I recommend going with the fried tomato sandwich. It really makes such a great difference to have a cold sandwich with that crispy fried tomato in it. The service is great too. They all friendly and quick. They make the sandwiches right in front of you. They also are accommodating, so for instance, if you want a turkey instead of prosciutto, or vice versa, they're willing to accommodate with no attitude. we really enjoyed coming here and will be back when we're in the area. read more

Two stars for using sarcone's bread. Seen here is the mortadella with mozzarella - added olive oil and pepper. First impressions aren't everything but hey, win some lose some. read more

Unreal. . . Unreal. I went in and got the Old Italian. So many flavors going on, but a ton of prosciutto is the base, so good! Bay Cities in Santa Monica is my bar for top of the line sandwiches, and this is truly better. The bread is from Sarcone's Bakery in the Italian village, very fresh and the meats and the lettuce the oil and the veggies, everything complements each other perfectly. Truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! read more

Very good sandwich spot in south Philly - I especially enjoyed the old Italian with its great seeded Sarcone roll. Perhaps a notch below Ricci's (neighboring hoagie spot) in terms of atmosphere and feel, but still a very high quality sandwich I'll be coming back for in the future. 5/5 read more

Grabbed an Italian hoagie. Sarcone roll (I believe), good meats, fresh veggies, really solid all around. Cool little spot too with really nice people working in there. read more

That olde Italian is A WINNER. Fantastic prosciutto, stacked with everything but still balanced, really digging the bread. Don't customize, it deserves your respect read more

Hands down for best crispy top tomato with eggplant @turkey hoagie. Place is clean @ freshly made in plain site. Hospitality is awesome. Keep the good service coming. Thanks Amanda read more

There is a reason Antonio's Deli has 5 stars .... my sandwich was AMAZING. I will be the first to admit no one has ever heard me say "Oh my I have a hankering for a hoagie (lol ... does anyone ever say that) and you probably won't hear me utter that phrase again but the crispy tomato hoagie has me speaking jibberish. The recipe has to be from a higher power. There is no way a mere human put this together, it is impossible. It's a hoagie on a hard seeded roll filled with FRIED TOMATOES (yes you read that right) lettuce , turkey, bacon , peppers , mayo and we opted for the sharp provolone . It a deliciously messy sandwich I totally regret offering to share with my colleague. read more

The hoagies were delicious, but I hesitate to say that they are better than the hoagies from Katz's , x

This is the best corner deli in the city. It is so clean and the food is unbelievable. Their meatballs, oyster po boy, fried tomato hoagie, chicken cutlets, just to name a few. It is such an old school deli, where everything tastes better than the next. You want to go back and back again. read more

I found this spot on yelp, I wanted a hoagie before I went home (which is in Delaware where they have "subs" which is something I can get behind) Hoagies are were it's at!. The Italian hoagie was great would definitely try again read more

Hoagies here are always on point. The Olde Italian is a go-to, the fried tomato is a must try and don't sleep on their buffalo cutlet - whatever they are doing with that housemade buffalo sauce is damn wizardry. It's SO good. Did I know I needed some sweet in my buffalo? Am I happily surprises it's there? Hell yea. read more

Every now and then I shoot over to souphilly for a hoagie. Antonio's is one of the big names and I think they do a nice job. The italian hoagie is very good. It has great bread , solid meats , and the right amount of oil. I like more lettuce and tomato but still very good . Worth the trip and the cutlet sandwhiches are also great read more

3 Times I've used Antonio's due to being recommended and 3x I forgot to take pics! Sorry Folks. But trust me they are reasonable and great. We've used them for 2 birthday parties and just this week for Penn graduation. We were not oing to trust these important occasions to anything other than the best and we've been happy every time. They are full of meat and the rolls are fabulous. You can't go wrong here. read more

From menu to mouth, I was not disappointed, tried the Crispy Tomato and all the flavors just bounced around the palate. I definitely will be ordering this again. I also had the Caprese but added chicken cutlet, well worth it too, probably trying prosciutto next time. This was an interesting find using Yelp... I hope this Deli continues to come up with unique tastes to put on Sarcone's bread... Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed either! read more

Really good hoagies and customer service. I have tried the hoagie from Cosmi's which are good, but the ones from Antonio's Deli are my favorite. Good bread with a good crust, plenty of fillings inside without ending up being wet messes. Really tasty. read more

Oh wow. What an absolutely perfect Italian hoagie. Crispy Sarcone's roll too? Man, I'm spoiled now: every other roll is gonna taste like yoga mat in comparison. I just finished my hoagie five minutes before writing this and am seriously considering getting another sandwich already. I'm seeing talk of a fried green tomato sandwich? Ummm, yes. And that Chicken Fantasia sandwich.... chicken cutlet, baked eggplant, prosciutto, provolone and red sauce? Dear lord. Sign me up. Can't wait to go back. Mad I hadn't gotten here sooner, but happy I know about this gem now. read more

Delicious meatball sandwich, great roll, fast and friendly service! Reasonable prices for really good food!
