Our last trip to Utica brought us to Napoli's Bakery hoping to get yet another Tomato Pie slice (or…read moretwo). Our timing hasn't been great since I seem to get there and the last slice has just gone out the door. No problem. I'm game for a sub. Tried to order a small sub to be told there is just one size. ok. no problem. Ordered the large Italian sub. The sub is now my most favorite sub. The sub was on the freshest roll with freshly cut deli meats. The way the counter is you can't watch the staff make your sub so it's a surprise when you open it. I opted for the usual toppings of lettuce, tomato and onion. Asked for the oil and vinegar and the nice lady taking my order suggested mayo as well.....sure, let's give it a try. My first bite was hard to eat since it is so big was hard to shove into my mouth. Only ate the first half for lunch. My five stars comes from eating the second half. Usually after a few hours the bun gets so soggy that it's just not pleasant. No problem here. Thinking that the mayo/oil combo would make the bun mushy I was anticipating the worst. Again, there was no problem. The bun survived, the meats were still delicious just as wonderful a bite as the first half. Only problem I have is that it's out in Utica. Also purchased two containers of the Chicken Riggie's and two containers of the Utica Greens from the freezer. We have gotten to eat both since coming home. I am a big fan of the Chicken Riggie's. While I was told that the peppers are to be spicy, it appears to have used pepperoncini peppers. Left a bit of a tang to the sauce that becomes very addictive. I've tried other Utica Greens and there are usually more greens. That was disappointing. Go for the subs and the chicken riggie's.

I've been going to get tomato pie since I was a child with my Mom. For their own good their famous…read moretomato pie has been going downhill. I expressed it to the manager and he says it's that time of the year that the tomato pie rises too fast and that's why he takes this time for vacation. However his family before him ran the place and it never rose like that and they ran it that time of the year for many more days. I explained that the crust was way too thick and was dried up. With his excuse of it being too humid is just that an excuse. My third time in three weeks now has been this way . No I'm sorry or please try us again . Zero people skills. Looks like Napoli will be losing business and he could care less . Better be careful or your three day work week it will be no more....

We came here specifically because another reviewer mentioned the calamari being gluten free and amazing. Turns out, it's one of the only things they don't do gluten free. Went with some basic gluten free pasta and it was OK. Would try something else next time. Hubby said the bread before the meal was amazing.

Unfortunately the cold cuts tasted past their prime. Dressing was some jarred vinaigrette...no olive oil, or vinegar. The pasta was delicious. Cavatelli swimming in marinara. (also certain sauce came from a jar ) Meatballs??! Criminal. Hard shell on outside... obviously not dropped in sauce. Abysmal. ALSO tasted past their prime! Beautiful loaf of bread. My wife had "hats and broccoli" and loved it. Ambiance... looks tired. Somebody is giving up.

I got the fried bologna sandwich but put the long hots on the side, and it was still great. My friend got the Ciro sandwich and liked it as well. We both thought the fries were great, too. The prices really can't be beat, so there's honestly no reason to not try this place out! I'm looking forward to my next trip back!
