I ordered the Philly cheesesteak on semolina sourdough and it was fantastic. The bread really sets this sandwich apart--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with a subtle sourdough tang that adds great flavor. The game changer was the sesame seeds that gave just a little nutty flavor but not too overpowering. The steak was tender, well-seasoned, and packed generously, with perfectly melted cheese in every bite. A unique and delicious take on a classic cheesesteak. I'd absolutely order this again. Pictures don't show how amazing the sandwich is so definitely stop by & try it! read more

Coming back from the city and stopped by to try this place. I feel like I should know about it from the reviews but I hadn't heard of them. Just know that they are somewhat new to the neighborhood. I ordered the Cubano combo. Combo comes with fries and a drink. The gentleman that took my order greeted me immediately. The place has seating in the back. He placed my order for fries to one of the two servers behind the counter and one was sweeping away. All I thought is I hope she washes her hands. Took my sandwich to go. Got home and wondered if I ordered a Cubano or a sandwich. Cubano's are pressed. So they are thin. This wasn't. Pork is shredded. Huge piece of ham and a huge drizzle of mustard. Tried to relayer everything but it was messy. Taste was ok but it was too overwhelming. Fries were tasty. I will go back to try one of the heroes they have. Won't be ordering the Cubano. read more

Good sandwich shop in Astoria. All sandwiches are made fresh and though they're not the best in NY, they absolutely get the job done and very reasonably priced. Nice addition to the neighborhood. This spot was Stuff'd prior. The interior didn't change one bit just under new ownership I believe. read more

We got the Philly cheesesteak and fries. Did not disappoint!! Love that everything is cooked in tallow and is seed oil free. The ingredients are top tier and well sourced and it shows in the quality of the food. Delicious cheesesteak. Fries were great and abundant. read more

Totally unhygienic Italian sandwich shop. Just when I was leaving an employee stepped out from behind the counter and decided to hug a pet dog As for the sandwiches, they were rather on the heavy side with too many unhealthy and fattening ingredients. I will not be back! read more

The sandwiches are massive here! I was a bit hesitant because of the $15 price tag for a single sandwich but each time I've had a sandwich I could not finish it in one sitting. They're basically 2 meals in 1 sandwich. The service is prompt and the inside is clean, though I've only ever had the food to go. Would recommend if you're very hungry for lunch or for splitting up into 2 meals. Just a note that the shop opens at 11:30 and closes at 11pm so they're only open lunch through dinner. read more

Saw the IG hype and went to try it out. They had a line so that's a good sign. They are known for the in house freshly baked bread and the fries cooked in beef tallow. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak, chicken parm with vodka and pesto sauce and the beef tallow fries. Parking sucked so ordered it and ate it right in the car in front the place. No time wasted! The bread was good but teeth beware because that exterior had a tough crunch. The philly and chicken parm were good but nothing that really made it stand out. Enjoyed that fresh bread and wouldn't mind having that straight with some good buttah! The fries were super skinny almost like little match sticks. The beef tallow flavor was good and maybe the flavor could stick better if the fries were slightly bigger. All in all a good spot. read more

We went there today for the first time, and will definitely go back. Their French fries are unbelievable, thin, crispy, just the perfect amount of salt, and not at all greasy. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and it was amazing. Tender ribeye, cheese and the best grilled onions. It had the perfect ratio of filling to bread, and the bread was excellent too. My friend had the chicken with broccoli rabe, and said it was great. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was also very clean and bright. Prices were reasonable too. read more

They finally opened!! Well, their soft opening and we were able to go in and order something. Although, when we got there it was around 6 ish pm so we were told they ran out of fries, their chicken parm sandwich, their philly sandwhich and more. This didn't deter us , we decided to go with their eggplant parm and meatball sandwich. Once we ordered we just waited like everyone else did. The staff member would call your name once your order has been filled. We saw how busy they were but were able to be very friendly and greeted people as they came in. Once we got our orders we went to our apt (so close by) and opened these bad boys! We saw how the filling was almost falling out of the sandwich but they were strong enough to not break apart. Btw - they make their own bread so it makes sense that they ensure that their bread can handle whatever fillings will be going in between the sandwiches. Anyways - the eggplant parm first - Amazing! There weren't huge chucks where you'll be pulling them out as you take a bite. They were made in such as way that every time you bite into it, you get all the filling in one bite and in every bite. No slipping and sliding. For the meatballs - they are HUGE! in the bread. They were also amazing and while I personally love both, I think I like the meatball more. It was seasoned well, not salty and the meat is tender Also - the meatballs are all beef! I asked! My bf said the bread hurts his teeth but he could just have sensitive and weak teeth lol cause for me I thought it was fine! Only giving it a 4 stars right now cause I'm waiting to try their chicken parm and philly. They are legit right across from where I live so I'm excited for their offical opening. Oh, for one sandwich it's about $17 and while at first you might think it's a lot. Keep in mind, they make their own sourdough bread! That machine cost money! But one sandwich deff will get you full so I think it's worth it! Plus if you get the combo (if available) it'll be like 21 or 22 dollars - not too bad in these day and age. This place for sure is worth going to. read more

Massi's - The eggplant parm sandwich (to go) - Sandwiches Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ordered: Philly Cheesesteak Combo (~$23): semolina sourdough sandwich with sliced ribeye, cooper cheese, sautéed onions; with French fries and canned soda (Coke Zero) Aya's take: From the teams behind Somedays Bakery and Chip City comes Massi's Sandwiches! They recently opened in Astoria and the menu is pretty simple. They specialize in Italian sandwiches made on their housemade semolina sourdough bread, and I was excited to give it a try! They weren't busy at all yet my order took ~15 minutes to be ready. I wouldn't have minded but the fries were barely warm and the Philly cheesesteak was no longer warm after finishing the first half. The sliced ribeye and cooper cheese are a great combination and the sautéed onions really cuts through a lot of the fat and greasiness. I'm a big fan of the semolina sourdough but I could tell it wasn't the freshest; it was slightly hard and chewy. I love that the French fries are fried in beef tallow but again, I wish they were hot & fresh! They got quite stale and lacked flavor after a while. It's a good one-time try for me; I don't know if I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

Very very good. Best sandwich in Astoria. I've tried the Italian, vodka parm, and cheese steak. Prices are a tad high. Hot peppers for an extra $2 in tiny container is wack. Those should be $1 max or you need to give a lot more. read more

Massi's had their 1st soft opening a few weeks prior, and we were excited to check out their saniches, particularly the Vodka Chicken Parm and the Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Rabe. Did you know that they make their own sourdough bread? Their Massi's Combo was a good deal, as it comes with a side of french fries (house-cut Idaho potatoes, fried in beef tallow) and a canned soda. Staff were friendly, and the sandwiches were made-to-order. Don't fret if you missed the 1st round, as their 2nd soft opening is scheduled real soon! +housemade sourdough bread +Massi's Combo +friendly staff & service read more

Big fan of Massi's! Their cheesesteak is phenomenal and I love that their fries are cooked in beef tallow, it gives them a really nice flavor. I definitely enjoy their homemade bread more if I eat it in the store (it retains its crust more if it doesn't get wrapped up while its steaming) but that does not deter me from ordering it to go as well. All around great sandwich spot! read more

We came here at around 5:45pm for their soft opening and we got the meatball sub and the Italian deli sub. We did want to try the chicks chicken parm and the fries but so much of their inventory had been sold out at that point. If anyone does get them please tell me how they are. The sandwiches on sight looked beautiful; however when peeling the aluminum foil off it's really hard not to get food on your hands - the meatballs are moist and saucy so it makes it pretty messy, but overall each bite out of the toasted bread was very good! I actually liked the Italian deli sub a lot but the majority of my group loved the meatball sub. I would definitely come back here to try out the earlier sold out items along with some extra napkins. read more

Yato likes the fries. Best fries Yato has had in a long time. Almost as good as the OG fries from KFC. Sandwiches? Also good. Almost too good. Yato was scared. How could Yato only live off of sandwiches for the rest of his life? What would Yato do? But one sandwich was a little meat fatty, killed the taste. Sandwiches devotion adverted. But out of 4 orders, 3 were perfect. Great odds. read more

This was my first stop after touching down in NY from FL and this was 12/10. Vodka chicken parm fries, give me 14 of them!! Service was awesome. Great guys and so personable. Music was fire. Will definitely be coming back before I head back read more

Food was good service was great and ambiance was chill. I will go back again. Great experience

New sandwich place opened so we decided to give it a try. We got the Philly cheesesteak fries and vodka parm sandwich. Both were pretty good, especially the shoe string fries. The sandwich itself, I think the chicken could've been less dry but still had good flavor and the bun was pretty good. The price is kinda high but at least the food was good. It's definitely something I'd get again. Service was fairly quick and there are places to sit down or just eat out the window. read more

Everyone here works hard, but the entire work system is a complete mess, which makes everything take far too long. Their movements overlap too much, and while working, they laugh and talk loudly without wearing masks. They use the same knife that cuts bread to open plastic bags, and even though many people are waiting, they work unbelievably slowly. I only ordered two fries, but because they're so inflexible and insist on processing every order strictly in sequence, I had to wait an unreasonably long time. I think these people really need to work more efficiently and professionally. Food is delicious anyway read more

I got the eggplant parm and it was delicious! Wish it had more eggplant but overall it was still solid! My brother got the chopped cheese and oh my gosh soooooo good! read more

I saw this place on Instagram and the ads for the restaurant look interesting. They was cooking food different than other sandwich shops in the city so I decided to go there for lunch. They use no seed oils and fry their fries in beef tallow like McDonald's used to do. When you walk in, you order your food and then they hand you the food once it's done. The drinks are conveniently placed below you when you order; basic drinks like coke, sprite and water. For the food, I ordered the combo which comes with fries and drink. I will start with the positive. My sandwich was the vodka chicken Parm. The chef only put pesto on half of the sandwich so idk if it was supposed to be that way. The sandwich was big; two big pieces of chicken patties but the bread was small and thin so half the chicken was sticking out. The chicken was a little burnt at the end so not sure if it was supposed to be that way or they had a bad day. The negative is the fries and o boy did these fries suck. Probably one of the worst fries in the city and the crazy part is that you can order these with any sandwich fillings for $20 dollars!!! They was limp, oily and lack of any salt. You can't dip these in ketchup or any sauce because they are so limp and small. I've had better beef tallow fries in other places so there's no excuses. In summary, do not order the fries alone or get the combo. Just get the sandwich and maybe a drink if you want, it will save you a few bucks. Will I come back, yes to the sandwiches and hell no for the fries unless they made a drastic improvement and offer me for free to try read more

I heard that Massi's was havinga soft opening and decided tochevk it out. There was about 10-15 people waiting when I got there, but there was air conditioning in the back bar area (which has tvs showcasing games - looks like fun in the future). Took about maybe 15 minutes for the two sandwiches I ordered- which was great. Massi's makes their own semolina sourdough heroes which you can see baking while you wait. The bread was crunchy and has sesame seeds and just gave these sandwiches another dimension of flavor. Sandwiches 1. Philly cheesecake- so delish!!! The chopped beef has such a nice flavor with the sautéed onions and cooper cheese. 2. Grilled chicken and broccoli rabe - the chicken was moist and flavorful. Along with the garlicky rabe provolone - omg this one is also so good. These flavors taste like a gourmet dish . The rabe was soft and tasty not tart or sour like Iam used to. Service was quick and everyone was nice and welcoming. Also the guys working were handsome - so many positive to return. But on a serious not many places make decent sandwiches but the the flavors don't stand out. Massi's flavors stand out against each other and the freshly baked baked is the cherry on top. I do wish the sandwiches were bigger, however that won't stop me from returning to try some of the other selections. Thank you read more

Fries are fried in beef tallow. Sooo greasy and doesn't taste good. So heavy and greasy. Ordered the cheesesteak and the chicken parm vodka sauce. Neither had flavor. Like seriously no flavor whatsoever. Bland. Over $20 for a sandwich and $7 for fries. Save your money. Go elsewhere. Astoria has sooo many other better places read more

This place is an absolute gem in Astoria. A truly seed-oil-free sandwich shop where everything is cooked the right way and you can taste the difference. The bread is baked fresh daily, the ingredients are unbelievably fresh and every bite is packed with flavor no matter what you get !! The Philly cheesesteak is out of this world.. the chicken vodka parm is a very close second. I love that they offer combo options, and the recent addition of half sandwiches is clutch! Last but not least .. the bone broth-- absolutely phenomenal. On top of all that, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

Had the chicken parm. Very solid sandwich. Bread was perfect. Would definitely recommend and try again

New samwich spot on Broadway. I had the cheesesteak, it was delicious but small, a bit salty, not sure if that was from the cooper cheese or the meat. The bread was delicious and soft. The fries were some of the best I've had, cooked in beef tallow. Other joints should try their fries! Staff was super nice. Nice big seating area in the back, A/C blasting on a hot summer day, games playing on the big screen, clean modern bathroom to wash up, A bit pricey to put it in the regular rotation. But I'll definitely be back. 4 1/2 stars read more

This new addition to the Astoria area was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I ordered the grilled chicken with garlicky broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. They make their own semolina bread that was fresh. Phenomenal taste!!! I will definitely try the other menus options. Massi please expand your menu. Kudos to you. You're off to a great start!!! read more

Great addition to the neighborhood!! Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The Philly Cheesesteak is the best in the city. Not many sandwich joints bake their own bread on site and use the quality ingredients Massi's does. Their bread has just the right amount of crunch and chew and density so it absorbs all of the juices perfectly without being sloppy. I also really appreciate that they use beef tallow to cook their fries and are a non seed oil establishment. Well done Massi's, i can't wait for my next sandwich!! read more

I was confused about this place because during their soft opening they were only open once a week and there was a line down the block. Finally they opened with a little more flexible hours. 1-9pm. I wish they could be open at noon though. Sandwich was incredible! Fresh semolina makes a big difference read more

I am so happy to have finally walked in to what I thought was a stand up sandwich place but was happy to see they had a nice area in the back to sit and eat. Great staff! I had the chicken parmigiana sandwich that has ala vodka sauce as well as pesto on it. The bread is freshly baked every day. Absolutely delicious!!! My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak with onions, peppers and cheese! Nice and hot! So yummy. We'll be back!!! read more

If your near the area and hungry stop by here, The food is pretty good. the Philly cheesesteak is good, the fries are a bit expensive I think they should lower it and make the fries a lil bit more thicker. As well as the tenders 4pc for 12$ I think I should get a decent size portion for the tenders. Service is good, nice people read more

Had high hopes for this new local sandwich spot. Very nice and clean on the inside, however, i dont recall the last time i had sandwiches that were so over the top greasy and mushy like the sandwiches here. It was literally like eating a cup of oil. Had to throw it out. Factor in the prices they charge for this is insane. I definitely wont be returning, there are much better options. read more

Just had one of the best sandwiches, and I know sandwiches, and Massi's is the real deal. If you're ever in queens, you must make a stop.

Lucky enough to be in Astoria this past Saturday and even luckier to grab a sandwich and fries at Massi's! Great vibe and food! The whole staff was friendly. Ordered 2 sandwiches with fries and enjoyed every bite! They don't use any seed oils and bake fresh bread, amazing!! Can't wait to return! read more

Love the Philly! Great addition to the area. Can't wait to try all the sandwiches. Oh, and the fry's are next level.

I love the Philly! Everything made in house and no seed oil. I'm a big fan and I'll be back for sure.

great people and environment love the food and service. Lots of nice people owners are great.

Great food, great staff, great vibe. Philly cheese sandwich and the french fries are awesome!

I went to Massi's during their soft opening, while the sandwhiches are good they are like pretty tiny. For $15 a sandwhich at other italian deli's in the area you would get a much larger sandwhich with the same quality. You can also say the same for the dirty fries $20/22, when I went it was sooo packed and I did not see a single person order the dirty fries as I feel it is just way too overpriced. read more

Quite literally an amazing sandwich, I almost got a second one to go just in case. The chicken & broccoli rabe is full of flavor but wasn't super heavy and the fries are to die for. The staff was friendly and attentive and I would 100% go back read more
