This restaurant has FANTASTIC staff and AWESOME sandwiches! My family loves the platters we get for our holiday get togethers. The sandwiches are very generous in size and are individually wrapped. The condiments are served on the side and they even provide plates and napkins! I highly recommend DiBella's for catering your next event or for just grabbing an excellent sub for lunch or dinner. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

Half of our party got our food right away and the other waited an unusually long time. Not sure the reason since everyone had warm subs. The assistant manager working the register was rude. The food was good, but I am not in a hurry to go back. This picture was taken in the rear of the dining area near the restrooms. read more

DiBella's Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Really good subs here! I had a roast beef sub yesterday (and finished it today). Some of the best roast beef that I have had in long time. It was very moist! I had the cheese steak recently. It also was very good. The service that I received on both visits was also very good! Quality is a priority at this establishment. read more

Awesome sandwich spot! Came here in one week, big subs lots of meat!

I placed a catering order at DiBella's Subs for a team offsite, and had a terrific experience. Starting with the venue, the restaurant is part of a small shopping complex, that has ample parking spots in front. The interior is sprawling, with plenty of seating room for groups of all sizes. My order took approximately a half-hour to make, which seemed reasonable considering we asked for 8 sandwiches and a Caesar salad. I ordered The Cowboy, which was a great go-to since its combination of grilled chicken and everything-style bread was spectacular. The portions are generous, so make sure to eat on an empty stomach. The salad was a little lacking in croutons and bacon, but tasted fresh. Overall, I highly recommend visiting DiBella's if you are in the neighborhood, and have a hankering for large sandwiches! read more

Oh man the bread is fantastic and the sub as a whole is amazing. Super good. I'm eating a catered lunch but next time I am in AA I am coming here first!!! Thank you for your quality!!! read more

I'd see Dibella's every time I ran to the Ulta or Whole Foods in that strip mall and each time I thought to myself, "I need to check that out." Well, today I rolled up to Ulta for some of my moisturizer and felt a little grumble in my tummy. Today was the day! Good. Ass. Call. They have a few different sub varieties or you can make your own. They come in three sizes--small, medium, and large. I opted for the small. WHAT!!! This small is not small. It's pretty big. I actually wonder just how big the large is. I guess you could say the small is around 6 inches but it's also PACKED full of meats and fillings. I went with the Old Fashioned--ham, turkey and genoa salami. I added light mayo, lettuce and tomato and provolone cheese. It was fantastic! The bread is baked in house and is fresh and delicious. The meats are tasty and flavorful. The veggies were also surprisingly fresh. Sometime I hesitate getting tomatoes on sandwiches out since most restaurants carry those mushy flavorless tomatoes but these were much better than that. I'm pretty basic which I try a sandwich place for the first time but if you want to get fancier you can add peppers, olives, oil, different cheeses, onions, and/or a variety of condiments like spicy mustard and such. I upgraded my meal to a combo and got a bag of baked chips and fountain beverage. As I waited for my food I kept seeing the signs for their chocolate chip cookies so I had to add one of those too. Dang. They're also pretty good. Nuts or no nuts, either way they're great. All that ran me up to just under $10. I thought that was pretty good considering my sandwich was quite sizable. Did I keep eating even though I was uncomfortably full? You're effing right I did. It was that good. Oh darn, I think I need a new bottle of nail polish. Looks like another trip to Ulta. ....and maybe I'll get a sandwich to boot! ;) read more

So many stars in so many reviews for a sandwich joint that sits next to David's Bridal and the Old Country Buffet, and across the parking lot from Potbelly's? Surely it must be overrated--one of these places everyone's obsessed with for no apparent reason. Mmmmm....nope. Nope, this was maybe the best sandwich I've ever eaten, ever. Kind of like a Blimpie burger + a Portillo's Italian Beef. And it weighed about 5 pounds. To be clear (as if other reviewers haven't already): this is a place to come when you're craving MEAT(!). It's fair (and a good idea) to let the vegetarians know ahead of time that they probably won't be thrilled with Dibella's. (The toppings are all clearly meatcessories: lettuce & tomato, onions, oils & dressings, and a range of peppers--couldn't make a very substantial veggie sub). But it doesn't seem fair to rank it low as a consequence--that's like criticizing Seva or Earthen Jar for not having a good steak, or the Sound of Music for not having enough action. It's missing the point. The point being, that Dibella's has, at first taste, become one of My Favorite Things. Loved the bread. Loved the spicy mustard and banana peppers. Loved watching them grill up my roast beef and swiss, scoop it up with a giant spatula and slather it into the bread (which was pre-loaded with delicious condiments). Loved that it was still appetizing, even cold, the next day (the bread tasted good even soggy! Even the sizeable cookie was crispy around the edges, soft in the middle, and chock-full o' chocolate chips! I only wish they'd cut it into thirds instead of halves--I probably could have eked three lunches (or, you know....2 lunches and a hefty snack) out of my "medium" sandwich--but once you're eating a half, it's hard to put part back. Plus, all the foodies at my workplace had never heard of it, and when they were impressed by my leftovers, I got to make the recommendation for once. Win! I even think mom and dad would love it. ;) read more

I'd been here once before, in my former vegetarian life, and didn't give it much of a chance. But lately, I have no choice but to conclude that my body is preparing for winter. I've been craving protein, and meat, meat, meat is the word! So, I ordered a small (ha!) assorted Italian sandwich with all 3 types of peppers, provolone, and oil. A messy delight! Ok, ok, so I know that there's that other sandwich chain that proclaims its employees "sandwich artists," but the gal behind the counter here was actually really attentive - pleasantly so - to the construction and grillin' of the sammie! Bravo! The only reason that it was sloppy was just that there was so darn much packed into it... and that I was taking giant bites! I honesty have no idea how someone can eat a small sandwich (5") in just one sitting...let alone a medium or large. I just ate the rest of it for my dinner and it was truly plenty for 2 full meals. My fella has been singing Dibella's praises for awhile, but I didn't realize just what I was missing until today. Smart fella. I shoulda listened earlier! read more

Like my fictional doppelganger Liz Lemon, I've never met a sandwich I didn't like. Appreciation for the grub-between-bread arts is in my blood. My great aunt once traveled from Philly to Portland, Oregon with at least 10 hoagies in her carry-on because in her mind it was criminal that we, her extended family, didn't have access to such great sandwiches all the time. When she showed up, hoagies in hand, I realized two things: 1) I aspire to be that kind of traveler, and 2) a sandwich is clearly a metaphor for love. With no great aunts scheduled to fly in (and my beloved Earl of Sandwich having abandoned State Street), the universe has recently had to work a little harder to supply me with sandwich nirvana. Sadly, I've not always been receptive to the universe's well meaning nudges. For two years, I noticed Dibella's on my trips back and forth from REI and Whole Foods but I didn't really know what to make of it. The "old fashioned" in the title caught my eye but I was never tempted inside. But then suddenly everyone around me was talking about Dibella's and I knew that I had to try one of their sandwiches. So imagine my excitement when today my co-workers suggested we grab lunch at Dibella's. I was not disappointed. The sandwiches are as good as everyone says they are. I had a hard time focusing on conversation because I was so enraptured with my delicious sandwich. I had been warned about the extreme size of the sandwiches and so I decided to order a small on my first outing. I was able to finish my entire turkey & ham in one sitting, along with half of a chocolate chip cookie. Next time I will probably order a larger size with the intention of saving most of it for later. People told me to order the Everything bread and I heartily agree. It is probably the best sandwich bread I've ever had. It was so good that I had the strange urge to lick it (I refrained.) The chocolate chip cookies are wonderful. Nice and chewy with plenty of chocolate. The best part is that I got my generous sandwich, cookie, and drink for just over $8. I'd be hard pressed to find a better price for what I got. read more

One of the best hidden gems around town if you ask me. Sure, you can get a sandwich at Potbelly's or Subway...but can you get a Godfather? Spicy ham, capicola and some genoa salami- this sandwich was delicious. I think Dibella's has the right idea, good quality meats and cheeses and fresh bread....oh and the spicy mustard! I know, who would've thought it would be about mustard- but as someone who has a certain aversion to mayo, get the mustard. If you like spicy...get the mustard. Are you getting my point?...GET the mustard. This is definitely a favorite sandwich place of mine that if you haven't tried, you really should. read more

Drove by this place a million times, finally decided to try after a gaming pal recommended. Glad we went, it's become a regular stop for a quick take-out lunch or dinner bite (never dined in): I usually get the "Italian": capicola and genoa salami, lettuce, tomato, oil, light-on-the-mayo, spicy peppers, black olives, and provolone cheese, on Everything bread. I get a medium, which is really two largish-meals for me. Love it, hits the spot nicely and I get a second treat the next day (just make sure, if you go my route, that you store your sammich in paper so it doesn't get too soggy! What a tragedy...) Also really like the Godfather (salami, capicola, spicy ham) gotta have with spicy mustard, provolone, banana peppers, oil dressing, L, T, on Everything bread. Love the cookies (with nuts, they have without but I haven't tried them.) I really like the assortment of condiments and toppings at Dibella's - something for every taste; a good, inexpensive, tasty, no-wait/almost instant gratification sub shop. Yum~ read more

PROS: Better than any chain sub shop because of the BREAD. t's fluffy but not too soft, it has a crust but its not hard (I think their bakers might be wizards). I usually get the meatball sub--the meatballs are large and flavorful without being too dense. When I'm in that part of town, I see no reason to go anywhere else for a sandwich. The cookies are really good too. CONS: Weird ordering system. You apparently can't just walk up and tell them what kind of sandwich you want and what you want on it. Instead of a visible display of the toppings, they tell you the toppings three at a time and you answer yes or no to each of them. Kind of annoying. read more

This is a great deli to get a good Sub. The sandwiches are enormous. If you can eat one of these in one sitting good luck. The bread is fresh and the meats and veggies are too. This place is one of the Go To places in the area if you want a different kind of deli sandwich. read more

I really, really, really like this sub place! I am so glad I chose to come here for lunch. I asked the guy which bread he recommended, and he chose the everything bread for me....and boy am I glad he did!! I got the "small" which could have easily been lunch and dinner for me, as they conveniently cut the "small" that is more like a shmedium, down the middle. But me being a greedy eater, I indulged the whole thing, happily. I ordered an Old Fashioned Assortment- turkey, ham and genoa salami with lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, american cheese and a lil mayo and a side of their oil-herb dressing. Oh, and a deli pickle =) I hear they have homemade cookies.... but I strayed from that option this time! I absolutely adore their bread!!! Get the everything bread for your sandwiches! It is perfect. Great--can't describe it. It's baked long enough to brown the top, that has a glean to it... reminiscent of the butter they brush on while it bakes....and the perfect saltiness! The inside of the bread is soft and chewy- don't think this bread is hard! I would have given them 5 stars had I been able to just buy the bread. Then again, I didn't ask.... so that leaves me some investigating to do!! The place is cute- like a lil diner with booths and a few tables and chairs. As we were eating the workers were cleaning the empty booths--something nice to see! They so have a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker on their door! Rock on! read more

My love affair with Dibella's began years ago while I was a student at Saline Middle School. I remember my first meal there still to this day, a medium Godfather sub on everything bread. It was the most glorious sandwich I had ever tasted. Years later, I spent a summer working as a sandwich maker at this little sandwich joint. Although my employee discount was wonderful in that it allowed me to consume these sandwiches a few times every week, it probably was at least 90% responsible for the twenty pounds I put on. This is your warning: Dibella's is not a place for those on a diet. Never. You just don't do a "healthy" Dibella's sandwich. With that, I highly encourage you to check Dibella's out. My personal favorite sandwiches are the Godfather, Dibella's Cheesesteak, and Old Fashioned Assorted. It's your choice whether you get the sandwich hot or cold, but I've always been a little partial to the hot sandwiches. Be forewarned that the bread is not toasted. It's just the meat that's thrown onto the grill, with some cheese melted on top eventually. While a common complaint of customers (at least when I was working there) is that the bread isn't toasted, I can assure you that you won't even mind once you take a bite. The toppings here are nothing too special or original, but they get the job done. Their mayo is some kind of super high-fat mayo, which thus increases it's deliciousness exponentially. I also recommend adding "Dibella's Famous Oil Dressing," a blend of olive oil, oregano, and a variety of other spices. It will turn your sandwich into a mess, but it's worth it. Worth noting are the cookies, baked on-site daily. They're so chewy that on first thought you might think they're raw, but they are some of the best cookies I've ever had. A medium sandwich meal, with a cookie and drink, should fill up even the hungriest of men. Dibella's is a great, cheap, place to stop for lunch, and a must visit for sandwich junkies in the greater Ann Arbor area. read more

Dibellas by far makes the best quality subs around. It's a combination of the bread baked fresh in-store every few hours, the hand sliced meats and cheeses prepped every morning and the fresh veggies. The employees are not the best, but we're all human and make mistakes. Sometimes you will wait in line for a few minutes before someone even acknowledges that you are there. If you get a grilled sub you will most definitely be waiting a few minutes longer as well. But is it worth the wait? Absolutely! Dibellas puts all others to shame, you may get your sub faster at subway or jimmy Johns but a Dibellas sub is much better, the amount of meat and veggies and the sheer size difference makes it better value, as well as the quality that you get for $0.75 more. With that being said dibellas is a pretty noisy place, especially during lunch with a combination of people's conversations along with the loud 1940s music it's hard to hear yourself think sometimes. So if you're looking for a quiet place to have lunch and do a little studying this is probably not the place but if you want to grab a delicious sub it is. read more

EXCELLENT subs. It just doesn't compete with anything else. First, you choose the bread and the size of your sub. A small really will fill you up and I have a big appetite. All the time. I usually get the multigrain because it's very flavorful. Then you choose the meat- they have their assortment of the usual lunch meats. I go for turkey- it's very flavorful and isn't the typical cold-cut lunch meat as you'd expect. You then choose your condiments and vegetables- you MUST add their special oil. It just completes the sub. Their hot pepper mix, mayo, dijon mustard, provolone cheese is perfectly layered. You can choose to have a "hot sub", where they will not only toast your bread but will actually cook your meat and sauces on a grill before putting everything together. read more

I used to eat here ALL THE TIME when I worked at the Meijer across I-94 but now that I'm back and working in Ann Arbor about 5 years later, I was happy to see that Dibella's is still a fabulous sub place. Now I go about once every other week for my Sub sandwich fix. I always seem to gravitate towards the Godfather on Everything bread because it's just that darn good. The Everything bread has amazing flavor, a little bit of spice in every bite. Always get the Sweet Peppers... extra extra sweet peppers. They're really just marinated bell peppers, but they make the sandwich 100 times better than anything Subway or nearby Potbelly makes. I've also had the Philly and Meatball and those are fantastic as well, but the Godfather... it's just the perfect Italian sandwich. I may make my wife go to Ulta in Ann Arbor just so I can split a large with her. Trust me, a Small is delicious and plenty for a meal... a Medium is two decent sized meals... but a large is a footlong of deliciousness that I've never been able to finish on my own! Other places are ok in terms of variety, but if you want the best Italian Sub on the freshest bread imaginable, Dibella's is for you. Side note: I drove by Somerset in Troy and on Big Beaver Rd, there's a strip mall development coming soon and I saw a Dibella's sign as coming soon! Trust me, if you read this and it opens in Troy, go and enjoy! read more

This place is fantastic. Sean and I can split a veggie sub and get out of here for $7. Sounds like a crime, right? It kinda is ;D First of all, get the everything bread. It's delicious bread with the same seasoning you might find atop an everything bagel. Second, they have TONS of veggies! Once I stopped eating meat, I thought I'd never see that yellow bag again, but alas... lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickles, banana peppers, hot peppers, mayo, spicy mustard, oil, and a medley of swiss and provolone... "baby, you got yourself a stew goin'" -Carl Weathers Skip the salads (pasta salad, potato salad, etc.) and get a cookie. They're amazing. I gave them out at my engagement party if that tells you anything. They give you free water, and water is the best thing to have. It doesn't spoil the deliciousness and it's free. It's the thing that keeps us alive, in fact. (I know, sorry). Get lots of napkins. That is all. read more

As I write this review several friends of mine are plotting their revenge. See, this is their FAVORITE sub place and they really wanted to introduce me to it, but being the impatient person I am I checked it out today before heading to Briarwood for some shopping. With all the hype Dibella's really lived up to it! I ordered the assorted Italian, hot, with oil. It was excellent. My company for the day ordered something with corned beef. He was not disappointed. The sandwiches were huge! I ordered a small but could only eat half. This may be my new favorite sub stop in A2. read more

If you have a medical condition and cannot wear a mask Dibellas will turn you away. Even if you are the ONLY CUSTOMER in the store.

Well slap me silly and call me crazy but I am going against the grain on this one. On one of my visits last week to AA I talked my daughter into checking out this sub shop because of all the great reviews. I was really dissapointed. I had the full size Italian Assorted sub with genoa salami, capicola on an everything roll/bun with their signature oil. The meat seemed fairly fresh but the roll was rock hard. On their website they advertise that they bake fresh many times per day to ensure fresh breads. Not on this visit. My jaw got so sore from chomping down on this stale hard roll that I couldn't even talk afterward. The signature oil is nothing more than maybe olive oil withy some herbs. Nothing spectacular. Next was the appearance of the restaurant. When we first walked in there were chairs on top of the tables. It looked like they were closing. This was at 3:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday. There were tables that had dried up food on which meant they were dirty and uncleaned for quite a while. The service was meager. We walked up to order and picked up a menu. We infomed them that this was our first time here. The attitude was "who cares, what do you want?". Then the question, "Do you want anything else?" with attitude. I almost said is there a Subway around here?(Across the street by the way). The price seemed a little too high to me. Maybe I am used to seeing $5.00 meal all over the place, but not here. Would I go here again? Probably not at my suggestion. Then again, maybe during lunch when the food is moving faster and the employees are smiling and helpful and somebody else suggests this place. My daughter said it was ok but she said she couldn't see telling her friends about it. read more

I always get the Godfather Sub. It's SOOO good. I want to try some of their other subs, but I always fall for the Godfather. It has just the right amount of everything. I like the meats. Always add mayo, oil dressing, tomatoes, lettuce, hot peppers, provolone. These are like the subs I used to get on the east coast and can rarely find here in the midwest. I had one problem on my last order. I was trying to order delivery online. It kept not processing my order. I tried 3 different browsers, and once, it looked like one of my attempts went through, but I wasn't sure. So I called them and was told that they were not taking online orders. OK. So, I started looking for somewhere else to order dinner. I decided to fix something here at home, and within about 20 mins, I get a know on my door and my order is here. Yes, it was what I ordered, but surely wasn't expecting. Especially since the person who answered the phone said they weren't taking orders. Only walk-ins. I was told I couldn't even order over the phone while I was speaking to her. Go figure. Anyway, I enjoyed by sandwich. read more

Holy smokers this place is AMAZING! My submarine sandwich experience will never be the same. While we had to wait what seemed like forever (ok, like 15 minutes) to even order, it was well worth it. We got a large Old Fashion sub and it was a great way to begin this first experience and thank goodness we decided to split. It was MASSIVE but so flavor packed with delicious turkey, ham, salami, cheese, and homemade pickled veggies. And on whole grain bread too..WHAT?!?! SO good! So full. SO excited to come back again. So you may ask, why just 4 stars? Well, not only the long wait for a seemingly not-so-dinner-rush time, but the place itself could've used some attention. The atmosphere is lovely and homey, yes, but every table was either dirty or sticky. read more

A friend recommended DiBella's, so I finally decided to stop in. It was almost empty, yet I saw tables that needed wiping down. The staff was very friendly. Sadly, this was the worst cheesesteak I have ever had. The meat had no salt or seasoning and had very little cheese. I specified ripe tomatoes or none. It had a light pink slice with no flavor. The everything roll was very tough. A small sub with a small drink & chips cost me over $10. Hungry, I ate the meat and chips - threw away the rest of the sub. I might try something different in the future, but it is doubtful that I will return. There are too many excellent choices in the area. read more

I went to Potbelly sandwich shop before here and couldn't eat more than two bites. I ditched it and drove across the parking lot DiBella's. Sooooo much better. Love the old school vibe and bread selection. I got the Italian on Sesame bread tasty and new, the bread was a bit too hard for me though. The meat, cheese and veggies were good quality. I loved the sweet peppers. Never see that anymore. The service was very good, albeit loud and slightly disturbing. At least they take their business seriously. I ordered the small size and was left stuffed. Cant wait to try the everything bread, maybe Ill go with a hot sandwich next time. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Been here a few times before. Always great, until now. The guy who took my order just left without giving my order to the cooks. I waited 20 minutes before asking where my sandwich was before they realized there was no ticket for it. So I had to reorder all over again, and when I finally did get my sandwich it was missing toppings and heavy on others. So then I had to wait another 5 minutes for my toppings to then assemble myself. I just watched one of the workers wipe down the dirty tables which was just about all of them, but he left all the seats dirty. All these seats have crumbs on them. This crew needs to get their act together. I'll come back some day. Maybe the service will match the quality of the food by then. read more

Terrible service. Signed up just to leave a poor review. After receiving terrible service repeatedly a year ago and quitting for a long time, I decided to give them a second chance. Waited 30 minutes for a cold sub when the store was empty. As the gentleman making sandwiches did his work at a snail's pace, he muttered to the other 2 employees, "there only three of us, don't overwork yoselves." On what planet does being understaffed mean you should work MORE SLOWLY? Never again. read more

Wow, probably the best Italian sandwich I have had. I got it grilled with everything on it. It came out great. Saw this place on Yelp when I was in town and was very happy with it. Would love to go back! read more

The everything bread here is kinda crazy. I've never had anything like it before, they throw everything you can imagine on it, and it surprisingly works! For a deli sub, which I am typically not a big fan of, I was really impressed! The shop had a fun, old school feel to it. There was also a line when I was here during lunch--justifiably so. read more

Deeeeeeelicious. Why would anyone navigate over to Potbelly when Dibella's is right there and so much better?! Dibella's has three sizes of sandwiches, and their "small" seems bigger than the length of my forearm. I took half of mine home last night! Get yours hot or cold, and then grab one of their homemade cookies to complete the meal. Mmmmm! read more

I stopped in DiBella's based on the reviews, which may or may not have gotten my expectations set too high to begin with. Since I've been missing Deli Board in SF since my move (yes, yes, I know it's probably unfair to compare AA to SF), I stepped up to the counter to ask if they have a section of the menu for hot subs. I wanted something with a bunch of meat and cheese and that's it. The guy said "yes" and then just looked at me. I guess he must not have heard me right because when I scanned the menu during the next few awkwardly silent seconds while he continued to stare, I quickly realized that the menu isn't broken down into hot or cold, or if it is, it wasn't obvious to me. I made a snap decision to order the DiBella's Dip, which was $6.50 for a small. As it turned out, this was my guy's third day on the job and he wasn't familiar with how to make the Dip so his trainer lady stepped in. She asked me what type of bread I wanted in a hurried manner, without telling me what my options even were until I asked, and then did the same thing with cheese. She seemed to be really impatient...not with the trainee, but with me! As I got my sandwich and paper bag with a container of au jus to go, I noticed that half of the bottom of the bag was already wet and that even part of the sandwich wrapping had au jus drenched all over it. At that point, I was ready to get out of there so I just put everything in my lap when I got in the car (so as to not get my cloth seats or carpeted flooring dirty with beef juice). All in the all, the sandwich, though a good size for small, was very average tasting and un-spectacular. The bread, for me, was too thick and tended towards a doughy flavor in my mouth. The sliced roast beef was pretty salty, so much so that I stopped dipping it in au jus because adding salt on top of salt just seemed silly. To top it all off, near the end of my sandwich, I bit into a piece of "roast beef" that tasted more like brown-colored rubber and it was so hard I actually had to spit it out because I couldn't power through it (I'm guessing it's just a really tough piece of tendon?). Through all this, including getting beef "jus" on my jeans, I had completely forgotten that I bought a chocolate chip cookie at the register for $1.30. That cookie was really good and it did indeed save this review from a 2-star. read more

This is our go-to place for a quick dinner when we dont want to cook. Their sandwiches are huge...usually my husband and I get the largest size and split it in half, and that's really filling. Alot of people come and take out, but they have a ton of booth seating. I tend to go for their hot options, the meatball sub is a favorite, as well as their chicken philly. Their regular philly option with beef comes with mushrooms etc., but sometimes it can be skimpy on the meat. Their Godfather is one of their most popular ones if you like the coldcut meats option. read more

Oh, Dibella's. I worked at the Office Depot nearby for a few months, and I admit, the first time I went here, I wasn't really wowed. I got a Godfather, but I'm more of a "turkey sandwich" kind of gal and less of a "huge italian sub with lots and lots of cured meats" type. Plus, on someone else's recommendation, I got something other than the "everything" bread. Lesson learned - you've GOT to get the everything bread. I'll get back to that in a minute, though. The second time, I got a turkey sub, with some veggies, mayo, and provolone cheese. I was HOOKED. I consider myself kind of a sandwich aficionado. Okay, not really, but I go to a lot of sandwich places. Subway, JJ's, Potbelly, Earl of Sandwich when I was at Disney (and apparently there was one in Ann Arbor that's closed now? BOO.) - I eat a LOT of sandwiches. I've discovered that it's all about the bread. JJ's has their yummy french bread, Subway has their varieties, so on, and so forth. I mean, the ingredients of a sandwich don't vary TONS place to place, but the bread does. And the everything bread at DiBella's does not disappoint. It will be rather chewy and may tear the roof of your mouth up, but it is worth every labored gnaw, trust me. It IS fresh, but it's not as soft as other places' breads, but you won't even care. And that's what makes the DiBella's sandwich for me. Well, that and the really yummy super high-fat mayo they use. Oh, also? Get a cookie. Their cookies are soft, more chocolate chip than cookie, and the size of a kindegartner's head. Oh, and absolutely to DIE for. All cookies will seem "meh" after having your first DiBella's cookie, and I am NOT overselling that. read more

You can't beat the cheesesteak on everything bread. Tell them to take it easy on the oil though, sometimes they go crazy with that stuff. I haven't had a bad sandwich here and their cookies are great too. Decor is old timey goodness, very very retro and different. Fresh bread every day, although I wish they would sell the day old bread ala Jimmy John's. This is one of the places I'm going to miss when I leave the AA area. read more

Brilliantly delicious. Their "small" sub is as big as your forearm. The best thing in the place is a hot Godfather sub on Everything bread, spicy mustard, hot peppers, and your veggies of choice. read more

So at first I was thinking, $5.19 for a small? That seems a little on the high end. Then I got my sandwich, and it was like 2 whole sandwiches. So definitely great value for the price! I am now curious as to how large a large is. Anyway, on to the sandwich itself! It was good. The multi-grain bread was a little dry and bland, which was a little disappointing, especially because everything inside was so yummy! The hot peppers were the only non-bread item I didn't think too much of, I think I prefer Potbelly's hot peppers. Dibella's had long, awkward hot peppers that hung out of my mouth and tasted a little bitter. We got a chocolate chip cookie, and loved it. Soft and chewy, the way a good chocolate chip should be. read more

You have not had a good sub until you have had Dibellas. Forget Subway, Quiznos, and every other sub place.. they are crap compared to this place. Fresh ingredients, good quality, fair prices and lots of variety. It's all in the bread, I swear. They give you a few choices, and all of them are delicious and fresh. You get your usual choices of toppings, and they can grill them for you. Their oil and herb sauce is yummy and addictive... a must try. Seriously, if you are used to Subway this place will seem like the Cadillac of sub places. For about the same price as 'others' you can get a combo here-- drink and chips, or cookie. I think a small combo is around $6, medium at $7 and so on. Go for the cookie, they are soft and delightful. Generous portions for the price, and the service is usually pretty quick and friendly. I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Great subs and amazing chocolate chip cookies. I would almost suggest never trying their cookies because you will crave them constantly! Other than delicious cookies I love their Motown trio. A sub with roast beef turkey and ham I get it hot with provolone. It is wonderful. All their bread (and their cookies) is made fresh daily in store. Quality subs competitively priced with other sub shops! read more
