This is the absolute worst location I've ever had to go to. I'm a DoorDasher and they never have anything ready, employees are always talking and joking around. Today I came in and literally 7 employees in the front nobody even said a word to me for 5 mins then when someone finally noticed they said "are you waiting for something" This store needs some management up in here because customer service sucks. read more

It has been 14 years since I left Rochester, NY and been 14 years since I had a chance to go to DiBella's sub shop. Visiting Buffalo, NY I was shocked they now have locations all over the Northern New York and greater New England area. I was not disappointed by going to this location near Niagara. I always order the same thing, either a meatball sub or the sub with salami, capicola and hot ham. The bread here is divine, the meat used is always top notch, and the care in making the sub is unmatched. Thank you very much for making me remember the great years I had in college almost 2 decades ago. I am glad to see that the quality and greatness that made you a favorite when I was in school is still alive and well. read more

DiBella's subs are SO BOMB, the best you can get in Buffalo. My friend recommended getting the Godfather "grilled" (as opposed to "classic style") on everything baked bread, and it was absolutely amazing! The Godfather consists of a beautiful combination of genoa salami, capicola, and spicy ham. It's very filling, and a large sub is enough for at least two meals for me. But it's so good that I just want to eat it in its entirety in one sitting! Their baked bread is similar to how Wegman's subs are made, they're like 14 inch bagel submarines. The staff is really friendly and nice as well. I had a satisfying experience overall. Get the Godfather! read more

Food is always great. Did carside pickup this time. They brought out my order within one minute of me letting them know I was there. If you've never had a Dibellas sub what are you waiting for. No other sub compares to this!!!! read more

I have been to Dibella's many times in the past however this is my first review. If you are looking for a huge sub this is the place to go. You can eat in or take out. The atmosphere is can be somewhat noisy at times, tables are small if you have 4 people with you and it is decorated with old pictures. I usually order the "Godfather" sub and it is and can be used for two meals. It is down right one large sub. All the ingredients are all fresh from the the meats to the veggies. Their rolls are what I really like. You have your choice of fresh baked rolls from Plain, Sesame, Multigrain, or the Everything which are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. These rolls hold up well with all the items that are packed into your sub so you do not have to worry about them falling apart or getting soggy. If you are looking for a large sub this is the place you must visit. They have handicapped parking and easy access to and within the restaurant. read more

I have heard in the past that Dibella's and Wegman's subs are one in the same. I am sure everyone who has a Wegman's sub knows how good their subs are! Dibella's is of the same quality, if not better. What sets this place apart from Wegman's is the Red Osier Hot Roast Beef Sub. It is so good. It's not like a sandwich with gravy poured over it as one may assume. It's really a French Dip sandwich that comes with au jus. If you like french dip sandwiches, you will LOVE Dibella's Hot Roast beef!! Just sayin'!! read more

Ordered a sub...I forgot how huge these sandwiches are. It was so large that my wife and I cut a half of it in half and ate that for dinner. The next day we ate the other half for lunch. The quality of the food always appears to be fresh. The service is efficient and the staff is friendly. I ended up ordering the Godfather Sub which didn't knock me off my feet but I still enjoyed. I will be back. read more

O M G. Can you say HUGE subs? Although I'm a sucker for a sub on a Costanzo's or Luigi's roll, these rolls are in a class, all their own. Plain, sesame, and my favorite..."everything" (think of an everything bagel, turned into a sub roll). The mid-sized sub will last two meals, the large size will STUFF you for twice, easily. The fillings are always fresh and they offer free extras you don't normally get at a deli or pizzeria without an up charge. Prices are....a little higher, but the quality is so worth having it as a treat once in a while. read more

Well as much as I love Dibellas subs they've been coming up short a couple of times this past week. First I went in about lunch time and ordered a Dagwood with oil , mayo, honey mustard it was perfect but the employee was dry and stoic so she surprised me with this really perfectly made sandwich. Then a couple of days later I ordered by phone the exact same sandwich and we repeated the toppings so there'd be no mistakes. I was wanting that perfect sandwich again. That day I had very little time so was in a bit of a rush. Well I get the sandwich and it's not the same lacking honey mustard and their oil . So I returned it they gladly made a new one it took a bit of time but the girl in charge was very apologetic which is standard being a manager of an establishment. The sandwich was again perfection so I was happy. Yesterday I brought a guy that was helping me on a job to get a salad from Dibellas well it looked awesome through the cover . But was lacking the requested hot peppers and replaced with sweet peppers . This guy likes hot food so it wasn't something he liked. While he's eating his salad he's noticing the stubs from the romaine lettuce in the salad and not just one but like what was supposed to be tossed in the trash was 30% of his salad. I insisted to him that I'll show it to the manager on site, we'll he didn't have anything to say to me but a smirk not a sorry about that or anything so he's not the typical manager that Dibellas hires , it might have been to that there were several people standing at the counter waiting for food. What I did notice while eating my Dagwood that day there were about 6 Grub hub call ins . So I'm thinking I may become a delivery boy guess life has come full circle in this insane country with the liberal elites these days. Will still be a fan of Dibellas ! read more

This is the first time I've ever been to DiBella's and it will probably be my last. My order was made wrong and I just don't care for the quality of their food. I heard a lot about this place and it's really not all it's hyped up to be. The place is empty on a Saturday. read more

DiBella's Subs - Supposed to be Italian sausage with peppers and onions. Just looks awful. - Delis Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Really some of the best submarine sandwiches I've ever had. Not particularly cheap but you get what you pay for and in this case you actually get more than you paid for. Everything of the highest quality and they certainly don't skimp on any of the toppings or extras. Next time you're thinking of subs and you start to think about subway forget about it I'll go here instead. You won't be sorry. read more

Having done a little research after my last visit it has been discovered that Dibella's originally began in Rochester and was the inspiration for the Wegman's sub shops. It's hard to tell the difference between the two establishments...and this is a great thing. Some of the best and biggest subs you will find in the area. i believe they use the same bread and man of the same meats. There are a few areas where I feel Dibella's excels. One being the everything sub roll, which i guess Wegman's is beginning to adopt. I don't know why more places don't have this type of roll. it's simply Delicious. Always a great compliment to any sub filling. The other distinction is the Hot Roast Beef sandwich. This thing is superb. red osier roast beef, melted cheese and a side of au jeau. Yumm. Quality ingredients, fresh rolls, fair prices, and HUGE subs keeps me coming back for more... read more

I ordered online and did curbside pickup. A lot of places say they have curbside pickup but when you get there you sit forever and end up going inside to pickup your food. The curbside service here is super fast and efficient. The bread is the best at any sub shop I have tried. My finicky daughter always just eats the inside of her sandwiches and the dog gets her bread. Well she ate it all today - first time ever! There is such a great variety of sandwiches and everything is so fresh. I'm looking for excuses to come back soon. read more

I've only eaten here once and it was a great experience. The employees were very nice people, the style of the restaurant was sort of an old-time look. They even had a baking room to show where they bake their fresh bread. It's also not too expensive and definitely worth trying. read more

DiBella's Subs - Delicious subs that I love to come for all the time I recommend coming here! - Delis Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

I appreciated the chance to choose from 3 kinds of freshly baked rolls, and the endless list of toppings. Went with the old fashioned and had them add Dibella's famous oil dressing because every other place I like it, but sadly, not here. Too many herbs I think. And the roll had a hard surface, not stale, not crusty, but just very firm and not so easy to bite into. I read that Wegmans based their subs on Dibella's, but personally, I like Wegmans sub better. But I really think it's a personal preference thing, try both and see which wins your taste test! read more

Rude Manager My friend went here to get a sub without cheese. When they got home, there was a little cheese stuck to it that was probably left on the grill. They calmly took the sub back to the store and asked for one without any, as her dad is severely allergic to it and couldn't eat it. The workers and manager spent quite some time in the back dissecting it and concluded there was none on it (clearly there was a little though). The new sub had already been made, so my friend's mom asked if she could have it, but they wouldn't give it to her. Then she asked if she could have the old one with cheese back so she could eat it, and the manager Briana Wood said she had thrown it out and they would have to pay for a new sub. Thankfully her dad contacted the company and was able to receive 4 small subs, but I would not recommend going to this particular establishment. read more

Decent delli subs. I had the Godfather. Was good. Meat tasted fairly fresh. If you are in the mood for a sub, go here over subway. The 6inch is their "small." I think that it is plenty for you. Would go again read more

Great service! I ordered online, left immediately and upon arrival I was greeted and the sub was done within minutes. The sub was great as well. Thank you! read more

Can't give zero rude customer service and bad management they can't even file an order but yet they charge you for it and then give you a hard time I guess they don't realize not everybody has transportation so fun picking it up for us we don't want to have to go back there for you to fix what you should've done right in the first place rude swore at me using the F word already reported her and she said she didn't care if she lost her job read more

To start, I am from Rochester, and there is unsurprisingly a difference between the two locales. Sadly it is not a good one. Compared to the Rochester establishments they skimped on the meat and toppings considerably, ex, I ordered my usual with hot peppers and I barely saw any in the sub itself, I did taste it though. As DiBellas is my very high benchmark for the perfect sub I will say that that the bread was still stellar and I fully intend to return as the subway on campus is terrible in comparison. I also will try Wegmans subs and see how those compare. read more

Subs are tops! Used curbside delivery with ease. If you haven't tried the chocolate chip cookies you NEED to!

Yum. YuM. YUM. YUM. GREAT east coast sub sandwich shops. We have stopped in twice, at different locations in New York. Great experiences both times. Warning: A large is easily shared by two. Or more. Maybe a group share. Depending on your appetite. I estimate 12 - 14 inches of yumminess awaits you in a large! Since we are road tripping, this was perfect for us. The breads are delish. The meats are fresh. Their special oil is pretty amazing. Friendly staff, yummy sandwiches. And don't forget to purchase one of Grandma DiBella's chocolate chip cookies. Those are way yummy too. UpDaTe After a six hour road trip, I busted out the second half, the remainder of my yummy roast beef sandwich and some chips. Oh my holy heck... The remaining half was even BETTER than the first half I ate at lunchtime! Phase ll = Fantastic All those yummy Flavors melded together (after a few hours, and a few east coast, states in the car) ... rare roast beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo, that yummy oil, all on yummy 'everything' bread. Totally yum... I only wish that DiBella's was also in the west! I also wish I had purchased a second of Grandma DiBella's cookies to go along with my yummy Phase ll meal! read more

I tried DiBella's subs for the first time this week and really enjoyed it! You can tell they take bread in building the perfect sub from their freshly baked bread to the extensive lust of quality ingredients. I was joined by my dad and my daughter and we ordered small BLT, small Godfather and Kids turkey sub pack. The subs were delicious but huge ( small was about 8-10") and my dad and I would have been satisfied sharing a small. The bread was fresh but a little too firm on top for my liking. I prefer a softer bread when the sandwich is so big. My daughter had an amazing looking chocolate chip cookie in her lunch that we were eyeing. They served diet Dr.Pepper which is rare but is my favourite soft drink. The staff were very friendly. Will be back! read more

Dibella has the best sandwich in town. Don't bother going anywhere else. This place has saved me many nights when I was too lazy to cook dinner. The cheesesteak is simply awesome. I usually get the large and eat half, saving the other half for a later time. Show your UB student ID and get 10% off. So avoid Jim's Steakout or Wegman sandwiches. read more

A rudeness that can not be overcome with. Can't get anything done right. Managed poorly and they don't care about customer service just money read more

Best subs in Buffalo, just amazing. Only problem is that the restaurant is always freezing cold in the summer, like oppressively frigid. I mentioned it to other customers and they agreed, bring a sweater. read more

Quality has gone down here. Bread is still great but the amount of meat for the money just is not worth it anymore.

This is the worst service I have had in a long time, which is a while due to COVID 19. My boyfriend and I ordered two subs online to be picked up in 28 minutes. We got to the parking lot in time to call to have our order sent out as posted on their window. When we called the order was not ready. After multiple staff came to the car asking what name it's under we received a phone call from the restaurant indicating they did not have the product to make the sub as intended. At this point our order is already paid for and they don't have the stuff to make the sub. At this point it's been 45 minutes and our food was just then getting prepared. We ended up leaving with subs we didn't want and waited an hour. During this time, none of the employees or manager offered anything for such inconvenience. DiBella's on Niagara Falls Blvd in Amherst definitely needs to work on customer service!!! They are so disorganized with orders and have absolutely poor skills with customers and time management!!! We regreted going and wished we ordered somewhere else. read more

Very distateful canned chicken on my salad, was supposed to be grilled chicken marinated Italian dressing tasted like tuna. No room in the container to mix with the dressing so it was very difficult to eat it read more

The subs here are absolutely amazing. It's definitely the best sub I've ever had. I can't make myself go to a Subway since I've had it. I get the godfather sandwich with oil. The bread, meat, veggies, everything is just so good. Not sure what is, and I don't even really like subs. For a while I was coming here once a week after my weekend workout to grab a sub. I think it's really cheap too for the quality, a small is less than $6 which is actually not small at all. read more

The discovery of DiBella's Old Fashioned Submarines helped me survive four years of college in Buffalo. Aside from DiBella's, I have yet to discover one single establishment that offers a classic-meat-piled-high-stuffing-your-face type sandwich! All of the places that serve "sandwiches" are either Subway, or an establishment that places 2 pieces of deli meat between over inflated bread. Luckily, DiBella's provides the classic sandwich for those seeking a consumption gorge. The establishment itself is simplistic at best. At first entry, patrons can view the balanced combination of exposed brick that works remarkably well with the mahogany stained wood furniture. There's seating for about 25 individuals throughout the various booths. To the immediate left is the ordering counter for which selections are made. An overall simplistic restaurant in terms of decor, that's accompanied by a lively atmosphere. Selections: Here are a few notables in terms of what's offered at DeBella's. Bread: Old Fashioned Sesame, Multigrain, Everything, and Plain Deli Meats: Turkey, Ham, Turkey & Ham, Cheese, Veggie - vegetables only, no meat or cheese, Tuna, "Old Fashioned Assorted" (Turkey, Ham, & Genoa Salami), "Dagwood" (Turkey, Ham, & Corned Beef), Genoa Salami, Capicola, Spicy Ham, "Italian Assorted" (Genoa Salami, Capicola), "Godfather" (Genoa Salami, Capicola, & Spicy Ham), Ham & Genoa Salami, Spicy Ham & Genoa Salami, Roast Beef, Turkey & Ham Assorted, Roast Beef, Corned Beef, and Roast Beef & Corned Beef Hot Subs: Meatballs in Marinara (with Mozzarella), DiBella's Cheesesteak (served with peppers and onions), Turkey, Ham, Turkey & Ham, Old Fashioned Assorted, Dagwood, Genoa Salami, Capicola, Spicy Ham, Italian Assorted, Godfather, Ham & Genoa, Salami, and Spicy Ham & Genoa Salami Additional Items: DiBella's Famous Oil Dressing, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Spicy Mustard, Honey Mustard, Horseradish, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Sweet, Hot or Banana Peppers, Cheese (Swiss, Provolone, American, and Mozzarella) The Food: 14" Turkey & Ham w/ Lettuce, Tomatoes, Honey Mustard, & Mayo on Multigrain Roll: The same order is always placed. There is no deviation, there's no room for error. The monstrosity of a sandwich is as described. Massive amounts of ingredients ranging from Turkey & Ham to excessive lettuce is piled high on a wholesome multigrain roll. At first bite, it was welcoming to discover the proper balance of ingredients to the bread encasement. With each bite, patrons will be able to discover the meatiness of the sandwich being well paired with the mild denseness of the bread, which is greatly accompanied by the sweetness of the honey mustard / mayo combination. The lettuce and tomato used in the application provides a subtle balance of nutritious ingredients, which help to mildly subdue the excessive flavors of the sandwich. Ultimately, the wholesome and excessive nature of this sandwich is one to be approached with care. The sheer enormous size of the edible is one that should only be consumed when either excessively hungry, or in dyer need for gluttonous punishment. One knock on the sandwich... The deli meat was slightly salty. Overall, a great sandwich for the price! Given that the entire 14" monstrosity cost a little less than $8.00, one can say that you can certainly get a great deal's worth. If it wasn't for DiBella's, who knew if one would've lasted in Buffalo for those excessive amounts of years? Notes on DiBella's: - A "small" is substantial for a single serving. The "large" should be shared amongst 4 individuals. - Prices = Favorable. 4 sandwich serves for around $8.00 = $2.00 per person. - Extra "additions" (ie: lettuce, tomato, etc) are not frowned upon and should be sought after. This helps dull out the saltiness in the meat. read more

Love the subs, get cheesesteak subs often but the consistency is all over the place. Expected, I guess, because they hire mostly kids. Sometimes the meat is a bit too fatty. Most of the time, though...I love this place. One other thing to note. The ordering system although "old-fashioned" is stupid and not the responsibility of the customer. On one occasion I added bacon to a sub, when they first started carrying bacon. I was with coworkers and it was busy. I paid sat down and the manager came over and lectured me "you didn't tell the cashier you had bacon, we will let it slide this time." I apologized and sincerely didn't mean to forget but it was additionally embarrassing. Perhaps they should change the process so there's no margin for error. Then there's the countless times I've ordered multiple subs and sometimes one employee takes all the sub orders or multiple employees will. Sometimes they make you take one number and others multiple. They should also ask if its to go. "Would I like a bag? No, I was planning on eating 6 subs and a container of cookies and a drink here and juggling the leftovers on the way out." Lol. read more

Excellent meatball sub the bread is outstanding. Quick service friendly and efficient. Good oatmeal cookies.

Says they're open until 10pm on yelp.... they're not. Drove to Dibella's yesterday at 9, they were closed. Subs are delicious, but can't get one for a late night craving! :/ read more

This is basically, a Wegmans sub. Rolls, meats, toppings -- all identical. But, it does have Wegmans beat in a few areas. For starters, they have a medium sized roll. Its in between a half and a whole and its the perfect size. Secondly, the choices are endless. Easily, twice as many choices of your average Wegmans sub shop. I'll be back. read more

Definitely can't go wrong with any of their cold cut subs here. They are very generous with how much meat they put on the subs. I loved the turkey subs and roast beef subs I bought here, however, I did not like the chicken cheesesteak at all, not enough chicken and the chicken tasted like frozen chicken strips from a grocery store. read more

The fresh baked bread makes this place amazing! I like their hot steak sandwiches, which are even better when eaten as leftovers. Also, the whole wheat bread with their turkey is a simple and tasty meal that always leaves me feeling refreshed and healthy. read more

Very pleasantly surprised. Walked in and found the place clean and busy. Servers were smiling and prompt to attend. The subs were fresh and tasted great. Nice establishment. read more

First of all I have to say that if you're craving food this is the place to get full, the large size of the subs are so big that you can share it with your friend and you still be so full!! The place looks clean and nice, the restrooms were so clean, which is very important to me. They have 4 or 5 different types of bread that they bake them themselves and you can see the bakery (I have tried all of them and they're all awesome!). They won't charge you for the fillings that you choose even if you want all of them (including onion, tomato, pickles,...). Their cheese steak is just awesome! It reminded me of Philadelphia cheese steak. They also have a Chicken Caeser sub which is really Delicious. By the way, they have recently added kid's menu. The only reason I didn't give them a five star rate was that the waiter brought us the subs by hand and put them on the table! No trays, no plates nothing, it was more like a to go order! Anyways, if you're looking for a clean place and a Delicious food this is the place! read more

The subs are great. The atmosphere will also take you back in time. For whatever reason, though, every time I come in and try to buy a chocolate chip cookies WITHOUT walnuts they never have any. There are tons with walnuts available, but the plain are hard to find. Further, the service that I got at this location yesterday was just OK. The employees didn't seem overly happy to be there and there was some initial confusion over who exactly would be filling my order. Further, the submaker was a little bit short with me regarding my topping choices when I asked her to repeat them. read more
