This is literally the best Italian sub I have ever had! Seasoned perfectly, crunch of the bread in the outside was amazing!!!! I got the piper, and it is my new favorite!!! Also a wine selection that is priced reasonably for some OUTSTANDING wines! read more

Was in town for my Son to graduate basic training, celebrate family day knowing we all would be stuck on base I researched ahead of time for the best Italian subs. I'm soo glad we found Enzos! Walked in and asked the gentlemen (forget his name sorry) to make us the 4 best cold and 1 hot subs they made and they were made in less than 15 minutes. Our whole family greatly enjoyed the sandwiches. What a true authentic gem with an incredible shop with such vibe Columbia has. Wish I lived nearby definitely would be a regular. Thank you Enzos! read more

Food was fantastic, haven't had a grinder that good in a long time! Chicken cutlets were perfect, juicy and well breaded, and not greasy at all. We also bought some cannolis, black and white cookies, and rainbow cookies and all of them were fresh and delicious. read more

What a great find in the heart of Columbia. Authentic Italian deli sandwiches with excellent ingredients and delicious bread. Enzo's matches up against your best NY city Italian locations. Do Not forget the cannolis! read more

We finally went here and I like it more than I expected to. No shade to them, but as a vegetarian I wasn't expecting much. I got the artichoke Caprese sandwich, my sweetie got the Italian. Both were bigger than we also expected. The sandwiches are pricey, yes, but you also get the value that you paid for. The markup on the drinks and chips are heavy, but what can you do. The biggest negative is the parking. Enzo's is definitely in the cut, and is probably more so gearex to service USC students and staff. I met my sweetie there for lunch and while I found a spot, she had to park two blocks away. They do however have good signage showing you hot to get there. That all said, I'd check them out again. read more

You know the food is good when no one is talking as they are eating. We got 3 subs; the Rico, the Stephen and the Italian. Everyone raved about their subs! I really enjoyed the Stephen with a toasted bun but still soft under the outside layer, delicious chicken cutlets, peppers and a balsamic glaze. Will order again! Service was super quick as they started making our subs as we were ordering. Plenty of seating inside or outside if needed read more

New location: 612 Whaley St. (803) 550-9220 Phenomenal sandwiches! We tried 4 of them and they are all outstanding in their own right. They have combined business and have fresh made mozzarella, artichoke dip, Italian pantry supplies, wine and more. Definitely worth coming back. read more

Easily best sandwiches in Columbia. There chicken cutlets are exceptionally good. Been on the hunt for more traditional Italian style sandwiches and this place is really the only shop in town. Would go here every day if I could. Each sandwich is huge too, enough for two meals (one if your feeling glutinous :) read more

When I tell you these are some of the best sandwiches my husband and I have ever had, I'm not kidding. He got the Emilio and I got the Rico, both added pesto. We also got the cannolis which were fantastic. Highly highly recommend!! read more

As a first time experience, it wasn't a bad one. My sandwich was pretty tasty. I ordered The Stephen while my colleagues ordered the Italian. The Stephan, which is hot sandwich since they offer hot and cold options, has arugula versus regular iceberg lettuce which is always a plus for me. The bread was not too hard, not too soft; a good soft crunch. My chicken cutlets were seasoned and fried well. Juicy, not dry chicken breast at all! My sandwich also included provolone cheese and roasted red peppers. The vinaigrette that was paired with the ingredients paired well together. SN: The owner is certified Italian from up north sooooo no, you can't get your sandwich the non-Italian sub sandwich way so no, don't ask to get your bread toasted or anything like that lol I actually appreciate the authenticity and if you want those condiments on your sub sandwich, do it at home. Need a nice hearty sandwich that can also provide leftovers for later to snack on, check this place out. It was worth it! read more

We came to Enzos after a hike on the way back home to Charlotte. We were about to give up as parking was hard to come by - street parking. We ended up having to park and walk over from a different street. So just note it can get tricky at prime times. We got the Lesley (prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and pesto) and the Italian. Both were wonderful and full of flavor. You may think prices are high at $12-14 per sandwich, but they are large! We did not finish them in one sitting. Plus they are STUFFED full of meats and cheeses. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Service was fast and wonderful. Dog friendly outdoor seating too. read more

absolutely delicious I recommend seeing anybody who wants a good sandwich and good service.

Enzo's is a great spot for a nice sandwich. They have a really nice outside seating area and a few tables in the inside. I don't recall the name of the sub, but we got a sub with roasted eggplant and then a sub with mortadella and pepper and they were both absolutely amazing. they even have some goodies that you can purchase in the store that appeared to be imported from Italy, I definitely enjoy my visit and will definitely be back read more

Really amazing sandwiches packed with meat and veggies on really awesome bread. They are little pricey but one sandwich is 2 meals!

Legit do not know how the line isn't out the door every minute of the day. Best sub in Columbia. Every sub is great but the chicken parm is top 5 I've ever had read more

Sorry for the late review. I met my USC Son and his GF for lunch at Enzo's. Cool little place. Enzo's has more than just sandwiches - pasta, wine, etc. I had the Mickey Blue Eyes. OMG good. Can't wait to go back. So, So many sandwich choices. Give Enzo's a try!! read more

This place is a great hole in the wall with the best sandwiches during the day. Service is great and friendly. I've gotten sandwiches from here several times and love it! read more

Enzos is the go to place in Columbia for great cold cut sandwiches. The quality is consistently great as is the service. On my most recent visit I got the Italian and The Emilio and both were delicious. The Italian contains classic Italian cold cuts, provolone, lettuce, tomato and olive & vinegar, while The Emilio contains soppresata, ham, Genoa salami, fresh mozzarella, lettuce and hot peppers. Highly recommend. Well worth the trip to Five Points. read more

Does not compare to the Italian Markets in Ohio, but better than expected for South Carolina. Employees were great and very attentive. Store was very clean. read more

Where to begin. First of all, I am an Italian girl from New Jersey, and this place just brought me back home. This sandwich (The Stephen) was on point! Chicken cutlet was golden brown and absolutely juicy, roasted peppers, provolone cheese and a balsamic glaze that just barely soaks through and makes the bread just a smidge soggy (which is what you want). And that bread though! Perfect crispy outside, chewy inside. I really couldn't have been happier. This place would make my grandma proud. Also love the assortment of specialty groceries inside. Can't find good prosciutto just anywhere! No indoor dining, but a few comfy outdoor seats on a pretty day. Really looking forward to bringing my husband here. He's gonna lose it! Keep up the good work! So happy to have found this little slice of home right here in Cola! read more

Enzos Italian Specialties - "The Stephen"- fried chicken cutlet, provolone cheese, roasted peppers and balsamic - Italian Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Our lunch group went here for the first time today. Had about seven of us. Great deli. I ordered the Italian sandwich. Huge sandwich, loaded with a lot of meat, cheese, and the bread was excellent. I had them put on the hot giardiniera and it was great...really nice and spicy. Every one of the guys liked their sandwiches and remarked on how good the bread was, how much meat was on the sandwiches. Most of us had chips and a soft drink and sat outside. They have about 5 or 6 wrought iron tables with chairs. We placed our order and they brought them out to the table. Pretty fast service with just two people running the place. We all brought half our sandwiches home since they were so large! Great place....glad we discovered this...and I'll be going back. read more

Chicken parmigiana sub with arugula is delicious!! Don't forget a cannoli as the custard is amazing! Loved it!

I am always fascinated that Grinders/Hero's/Wedges aren't popular down south. More importantly, I always wondered why Chicken Parm isn't as popular down south as it is up north in places like Boston/NYC/Connecticut. I mean, Southerners like pasta relatively speaking and love fried chicken. Never understood why they don't blow up down here. It's really awesome this place is in Cola. I love it. I love NYC/Boston food (you go up there and it's pizza/parm/grinders on every block) and I'm really glad Columbia got a NYC style deli. So yes, the review. Rant over and pinch me...the city I live in has a legit place to get Italian style subs. This place is outdoor seating only because it also doubles as a NYC style Italian grocery store. It's also very small inside, like a NYC style Italian grocery store would be. They're authentic game is on point. I got the chicken parm sub/grinder/wedge/hero/whatever you want to call it and it was amazing. For $12 they pile on the toppings and use fresh ingredients. They don't skimp on anything. It's perfect. I've had chicken parm subs before around the south, but they always use frozen chicken or grilled chicken (which isn't authentic for chicken parm). These are also massive and heavy. My wife got the meatball sub and she said it was by far the best she's ever had. Absolutely recommend to anyone in Columbia. This is the real deal and not an impersonation. I mean, just look at that cheese pull with my sandwich. That could have been on a chicken parm magazine for freaks like me. read more

Food is fantastic, especially if you're originally from Philly and are looking for a good old hoagie. They also had a very nice selection of Italian cooking items. Staff always pleasant read more

There are many reasons I'm not a vegetarian, but one of the primary reasons is Italian dried meats. I love them. An Italian hoagie would be up there for consideration for death row last meal. Having said that, the second I heard about an Italian sandwich shop, I went running. Enzo's has a great menu. From a traditional Italian sandwich to an artichoke Caprese sandwich I want to try everything on the menu. My wife got the Italian and I had the Emelio. Both were great. I wanted to try them the way they made them before making changes to the sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious, but in the future, I'll ask for tomato and mustard on mine. The deli and grocery were awesome. I'll be a regular as soon as COVID goes away. read more

Enzos Italian Specialties - entrance to restaurant - Italian Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

First try today a little disappointing. This is basically a to go place with no tables inside but 2 or 3 outside which were unused. I definitely didn't expect. There is a separate room next door which opens at 6? with wine etc. We ordered the Tina which was ok and the chicken with vodka sauce sub which was pretty good but just a piece of chicken with cheese and sauce on it. A complaint I have (which to go people don't care about) is they have no cups or ice for your drink. Mine was mildly cool and needed ice as it warmed up quickly. Other sub pictures looked pretty good but the cashier said the chicken I had was the most ordered sub. If they change a little, I will be back. read more

Definitely the best subs in Columbia by far! They have such fresh ingredients and the flavor combinations of the sandwiches are really delicious.

I don't even know where to begin. This place is simply wonderful. My only wish is that they had in indoor dining area, but they have cute little tables outside. The food is wonderful and the service was fantastic. They also have a pretty impressive selection of imported gourmet/Italian grocery items to browse. Definitely Columbia's hidden gem. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu! read more

Excellent sandwiches. They were making meatballs by hand when I was there. A bit pricey but worth it. Highly recommend. read more

OMG - the sandwiches here are phenomenal! I had the Italian (spicy) and a Pellegrino water. The sandwich is so big I took half home for lunch the next day. There must be a pound of meat with fresh mozzarella and peppers. Next time I'll share with my son. The service is also really great - they bring it to you while you sit on the patio and talk while the Five Point traffic goes by. read more

Needed to grab a quick bite on a road trip, so we stopped here - great menu, sandwiches came super fast, and we were able to enjoy on the patio in front of the building. Got the Emilio and the Lesley, and they were so good and HUGE. Excited to have these for road snacks! read more

Delicious Italian subs and cannoli as well as a fun variety of Italian imports to choose from.

I've been meaning to try this place and one day the perfect opportunity presented itself. I had an idea of what I wanted to order and my lunch companion wanted The Gigi. When I saw how big the breads were I decided we had to share. Because this thing was huge. Massive. It was very good. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star review was the bread. Everything in the sandwich was perfection. The bread was not. I mean, Which Wich's bread is better which I found shocking! Still next time I'm in that area I'll probably make sure I go hungry and try more of their sandwiches. read more

Great food. Fresh ingredients. One of the best sandwiches I've had in Columbia. Service was great too.

Always great sandwiches - cold or hot. Quick service. You will not be disappointed I promise.
