I stopped into Massimo's for lunch while returning to Winston-Salem from Charlotte. The parking situation is a little funky/limited because a significant portion of the adjacent area is being developed, into a Love's Travel Stop if the fine folks at Massimo's are to be believed. It's a smaller spot with the ordering counter and kitchen in the back and maybe seating for 26 or so. The folks behind the counter were friendly and the order process was simple. I got their sandwich special, the Buffalo Soldier. It was chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato, blue cheese, and ranch on ciabatta. I made it a combo with chips and a soda. With tip I think the total was around $17. That was a touch more expensive than I was expecting especially with just a bag of chips on the side. The sandwich was good. Between the blue cheese and the ranch it was really creamy and most of the toppings slide off with the second bite. I don't mind a mess though! The ciabatta bread was the perfect compliment for the sandwich. It was a cute spot and I especially liked the creative sandwich names. I'd go back and try the chicken ceasar wrap next time. read more

This was our first time here and daggum was it awesome! I thought they had recently opened or something cause the place was immaculately clean. I asked and they'd been open for a decade! I also noticed their 100 health inspection rating. That is NOT easy to get, so very impressed by that. We dined in and the decor is really cute and again, everything is so clean. The sandwiches were soooo good. Nothin slaps like good sourdough. And the sauce on my turkey sandwich, to die for! Super convenient location right off the interstate. A must visit! read more

Massimo's Artisan Sandwich Shoppe - Chicken Beneath My Wings Sandwich with pasta salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

First time here as we were only traveling through. Was looking for a lighter fare and not fried fast food. This hit the spot! Kids had the grilled cheese ( which had so much cheese it was like eating a fresh pizza) and turkey croissant. Both ate their full meals. Husband had the cold cut sub and soup of the day and it was enjoyed. I had the turkey club and potato salad. All which were good. Staff were friendly and shared with us their favorites to help us decide. Quaint little corner shop with a few seats inside and outside. read more

Hands down the BEST sandwich shop in Salisbury. My favorite is the Strange Magic BLT. Their pasta salad is so good! Friendly staff and fast service. Try it out, you will not be disappointed. read more

5 stars easily, hands-down! I used to live only a few minutes from Massimo's and it was a go-to for me. It's easily one of the best places to eat in Salisbury, so much so that I still miss it after moving away years ago. The Chicken Beneath My Wings sandwich and the pasta salad are potentially the best sandwich and pasta salad I've ever had. They're so fresh and flavorful, and are different from the same old sandwiches you see at every sandwich shop. That basil cream sauce on the sandwich is absolutely amazing. The staff is super nice too, which also helps. read more

Good selection of unique sandwiches. Good soup of the day spinach mushroom. They just need to offer non dairy milks.

They aren't kidding when they say "best in town"! First of all, it's a cute little hole in the wall kinda cafe. Second, they're all super friendly and service was fast for a Saturday. Their sandwiches and wraps have these fun names! I got the Poncho and Lefty's wrap which is like a southwest chicken wrap with a spicy ranch...TO DIE FOR! 10/10 would totally recommend! read more

Sandwiches were meager portions and not as flavorful as we had hoped. I had sourdough bread for my sandwich but it was not more flavored than regular white. read more

so I had opportunity to retrieve my trailer the other day and after cutting off a couple locks I was able to get it hooked up and on its way back home... hot, sweaty, tired, and off-put more than hungry - but hungry none the less. parking is easy no matter what you drive; kinda of a huge lot and traffic control lights to get in and out safely so yea for that! outdoor seating under umbrellas for nice weather or under a roof or inside as needed. dodging rain drops on the way in, walked to the back counter and read through the menu a few times figuring out what's for lunch before deciding on a grilled cheese sandwich plus tomato soup. got a seat and a soda and my food followed shortly. my sandwich was not so much grilled as panined complete with the char marks and everything. combination of three melty cheeses oozing out from between toasty slabs of bread, maybe just contemplate the subtle blend of swiss, cheddar and provolone. comes with corn and bean salad and a handful of chips. the extra side of tomato soup is thick but not quite bisquey, just right for dipping and sipping with a depth of flavor not found in a can. seems like everything is a little more spendy after the plague but what isn't? read more

The food may be good, but the service and customer care is horrible! Spent over $400 on catering order, asked for plates and I was yelled at for not telling them ahead of time. Then when I went to get them, they told me it will be an additional $40 for 20 paper plates and plastic forks! I just spent $400 in lunch, and you can't provide 20 paper plates? And you have the nerve to yell at me for asking! Will take our business elsewhere! read more

Massimo's has a wonderful selection of sandwiches to choose from and a variety of sides you can add to your order. They run daily specials so keep an eye out on their Facebook page for those. My most recent selection was the Cuban and it was fantastic. read more

If creative, clever names for menu items were a major part of the equation in a review, Massimo's would be a slam dunk five star place. Unfortunately, however, it's really about the food. Menu item names are near the bottom of the list of factors when writing a review. I wanted so so badly to like this place. The man who took my orders was so cheerful and nice. I gave it two chances. And it's just not that good. As I look through the other reviews, I'm almost saddened that I didn't have a similar experience. Only one other reviewer had an experience like mine. I'm not sure what the people leaving positive reviews tasted, but here's what I experienced: Classic Reuben: from the very first bite, I detected something overwhelmingly tangy and with a taste I just didn't care for. Everything was so mixed together, that I was never able to determine if it was the meat or the dressing. I suspect it was the dressing. The marble rye was fine. Chicken salad sandwich: the grilled croissant was good, but the tomatoes were pale and the chicken salad was way too creamy and had no flavor. Cole slaw: way too sweet, not finely chopped enough, and had a taste that was unlike any coleslaw I've ever tasted. And not in a good way. Potato salad: mustard based, it was decent, but seemed to me to be food service quality. The capstone of this review is the Texas Pete. I went to the counter and asked for some. My intent was to try to save the taste of potato salad and add some taste to the chicken salad. They gave me a bottle with a "best by" date of March 16, 2018. Today is December 30, 2019. Please read those last two sentences again. They gave me a bottle of Texas Pete that was a year and nine months past the best by date. I guess there's really not much else to say. read more

Great selection of freshly made to order sandwiches. I tried the"Italian" unsure of if it was hot or cold - well it's both. Hot bun and cold sandwich fillings. Real romaine lettuce and freshly sliced tomatoes. I found everything to be fresh and maybe local? Went with the potato salad as a side and after taking a bite wished I had gotten an extra side so I didn't have to share with my husband. Looking forward to going back! read more

I wanted to keep the 5 stars going, and it was good, it just wasn't great as I have had a few better meatball sandwiches at some other places in the US. The layout of the shop is nearly identical to a subway, which makes sense. They have Cheerwine at the soda fountain, so I had to try that since I've never had it actually. Would have preferred it in a bottle instead of the fountain since I don't know if they add HFCS to the syrup for fountain drinks, but I'll take it either way on the first time. Their prices are very reasonable! My meatball was good, just a little on the small side. It comes sliced in half and each half contains 2 meatballs. There was not a lot of herbs or seasonings added to the end product, nor was the cheese placed on top then baked like some other places. It was just prepared like a regular sandwich with one topping placed at a time. The bread was probably my favorite part of the overall sandwich. Very pillowy. For my side, I chose the pasta salad, which is apparently their top seller. This simple pasta has just a few ingredients and goes well with the sandwich, but you receive a small portion. If I was ever in the area again, I'd try a different sandwich and side. read more

Usually love this place because the flavors are good and you always get friendly and fast service. Our latest experience was a bit disappointing though. The sandwiches were pretty light on toppings and generally pretty lacking. There was an over abundance of sauce. It was almost like they were running out of the ingredients and trying to make things stretch. Just kind of disappointing for an $11 sandwich... read more

We had stopped at this little sandwich several years ago when traveling south and were delighted with our meals. This visit is a true disappointment. My husband had the BLT and I had a Ruben. How can you mess up a BLT???!!! The meat on the Ruben tasted past a "good date" the Swiss cheese was mostly missing, and the 1000 Island dressing was sweet! Yuck. We tossed 95% of our food. For drinks we had a strawberry banana smoothie and a chocolate shake. It seems that ALL the ingredients were the lowest quality possible. The shake was watery and had no signs of real milk/cream. Maybe powdered milk? It was not drinkable. The smoothie was watery ... maybe made with ice chunks, a couple of frozen strawberries and banana flavoring. Customer's beware! read more

I was traveling down I-85 and wanted a sandwich for lunch. I despise Subway and was delighted to see an independent sandwich shop listed. I was not disappointed! I got the "Classic Ruben", potato salad and a pickle. The Ruben was great. Just the right amount of corner beef, sauerkraut and dressing. Some sandwiches drop with to much dressing, but this was perfect. Potato salad was classic. It reminded me of the potato salad my mother made when I was a kid. Even the pickle was exceptional. I don't know how they did it, but most pickles are limp and not very tart. This pickle was just the opposite. It was large, crisp and tasty. To top it all off, the owner was there. You can tell he really loves his business. He was friendly and working hard. He also came out and cleaned each table as people left. You don't get that at the chains. Needless to say, I wish this place was near my home and I'll definitely be stopping here when I'm in the area again. read more

Wow! Glad I didn't settle for fast food today. Instead, I discovered Massimo's! Had the meatball sub with a side of pasta salad...DELICIOUS! With a fountain drink, just over $10. This food is all made to order...like a traditional Italian deli. It's a little hidden from view, but it's right next to NIYOSHI on the corner of a strip mall. Skip all if the chain stores...do Massimo's instead. Your tummy will thank you! read more

Tonight I made my second visit to Massimo's and got the RoastBeef of Burden- I asked for it cold for take out - and it is a generous sandwich. Well, I decided to eat it cold at home. I prefer a cold sandwich and it was likely the best roast beef sandwich I've had in years. Blows Jersey Mike's away. The beef was so tender and with this cheese and horseradish sauce, mmmmm. Try any sandwich, panini style (or cold if you are a Yankee like me). You will like. Great value UPDATE 8/2/19 NOT HAPPY Went tonight for dinner and CLOSED(!) at least 20 minutes before posted hours. Very unhappy to make a 20 minute round trip for nada. read more

Good club sandwich, Massimo is the man. Stopped here on my way to Charlotte, the sandwich was good and the customer service was the best!

I wouldn't bother. Just a very average sandwich. Not that great great. Not that great presentation. Not heavy on the meat. I drive past it twice a day for four years and always wanted to try and won't go back. I love a great homemade sandwich spot. But you're actually better off at Jersey's mikes than here in my opinion. Just nothing to impress. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the Veggie and the Jets wrap! The service was great, and I received my money's worthy!

My husband and I tried this place based on a friends recommendation. We looked at the menu online and it looked really good. The place was very clean and the staff was pleasant. I craved a good BLT and it was loaded with plenty of lettuce and tomato, but only two small, thin strips of unremarkable bacon and also missing avocado! My husband had the cold cut sub and was disappointed with the lack of meat. The food was fresh, the sides were good, but we won't go back. read more

I love sandwiches. No, you don't understand how I love sandwiches. I could eat sandwiches and wraps for the rest of time. If you love good food with incredible service then jump off I-85 for the short trip to Massimo's Artisan Sandwich Shoppe. I am in Salisbury on business and I discovered Massimo's on the first day. I had a simple ham & Turkey club the first day for lunch that was phenomenal. I know It Is just a simple sandwich, however Chef Massimo has found the perfect balance and blend of meat to cheese to veggies to sauce to bread. I have been to sandwich shops and delis that think that simply overstuffing fillings between two slices of bread constitutes a good sandwich. Massimo and his team have taken on sandwich construction as an art. And they are the Rembracassomozhoven's of sandwich art. Rembracasso = Rembrandt + Picasso + Mozart + Beethoven. I went back on day two for lunch and for dinner. At dinner time I arrived 20 minutes before closing and they encouraged me to sit down and take my time to enjoy my meal. You will find most of your favorite sandwiches, as well they will custom build the sandwich of your choice. If you aren't sure what to select just pick whatever they have for sandwich of the day. I am addicted to the broccoli salad as my favorite side. It is the tastiest way on this planet to get your daily vegetables. The owner was in the store each time that I waa there. He not only makes the sandwiches, he actually brought my meal to my table. The process is easy here. You order at the counter and grab a seat, they deliver your meal to your table. You will enjoy the humor in the menu; everything is named for a rock, R&B or pop song. Get yourself over to Massimo's and have a great meal. read more

Love to stop here with my mom for lunch!! They have the best club club sandwich!!! The owner is awesome and nice!!
