I'm going to give it 4 stars and this is why. Their sandwiches are sooooooooooo good I'm not gonna lie. I normally order a medium (half of a whole ) One thing I don't like is my bread sometimes be a little harder than normal but I understand it's "Italian bread" they said. One day I ordered a large (a whole entire roll and it was absolutely soft) SO I feel like I have to order a large in order to get some soft bread) Secondly they are a slightly bit expensive for a sandwich. A small is almost $10 a medium is almost $15 and a large is almost $30 Also a tiny cup of dessert $8 that's ridiculous $5 okay I would of bought it but I'm not paying $8 for 6-8oz of cake. Other then that it's really nice place. read more

In the area for business. We ordered lunch from here to the Navy Yard. Everyone loved it. Personally ordered the hot roast pork sub. First time having this Philly specialty. It was fantastic, hot juicy and a great roll. Would absolutely order again when in town no matter what it is on the menu. read more

Pastificio - Hot roast pork - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was looking for a takeout hoagie spot close to the stadiums and luckily stumbled upon Pastifico, in the corner of a strip mall on Packer Ave, just west of Broad. My hot roast pork with rabe and long hots was top notch. My gf and I also split some fried ravioli with a marinara dipping sauce. These are not to be missed. #droolemoji #ialmostdrankthemarinara . She also got an inside-out, which is something like a fried calzone. It too was scrumptious. Next time I'm down South Philly and looking for a quick sandwich fix, I will eagerly head back to Pastificio! read more

Delicious place to grab a sandwich before a concert at Wells Fargo Center. The mozzarella bella was outstanding. The cheese was incredibly fresh and the roasted red peppers were on point. The bread was perfect as well. Highly recommend this sandwich. The formaggi was good too, just felt a bit dry especially after trying the bella sandwich. Let them know if you want oil, vinegar, mayo on your sandwich! I ordered online and didn't realize, but they were kind enough to give it to us on the side. read more

Definitely wont order here again. Placed the order at 9:30 AM and was told it would be delivered by 11:45. At 11:50 when they didn't show i called and was given an attitude right away. I was just calling to make sure i didn't miss the delivery. Good food, trash service. read more

We always got our fresh pasta from Matteo's. I didn't realize they moved to NJ so I was extremely sad to hear that and texting others that still live to try to find another great, fresh pasta grocer and that's when someone recommended Pastificio and boy am I glad they did! First of all, their hours are WAY better than Matteo's! They were open until 9:00 pm on a Friday night which made it easier on us because we didn't have to rush around and we were able to easily avoid traffic by going a little later. They are located next to Chickie's and Pete's so the parking is much easier than trying to find a tiny street spot. Now, that's not to say it's easy...just easier. It depends on the day, the time of day and whether there's a game. In our case it was a Friday around 6:30 so Chickie's was mobbed, as was the parking lot but we found a spot relatively quickly. The first woman that helped us was an older woman and she was not warm and fuzzy, nor did she make us feel welcomed or helped. I asked if they had a list of their fresh pastas (since there was no sign and they were in a fridge behind the counter). She said no, but there's all of the usual stuff and started rattling off pasta. I basically knew what I wanted but since it was our first time here, I did want to see all of my choices. We asked her another question and she gave more attitude. We wound up getting passed off to a younger girl and I was thrilled about that because she was kind and helpful and offered good customer service. Turns out there was a list of fresh pasta in their paper menu. We got two, one pound, fresh mozzarella braids which were $10 each. She recommended we get hem salted which we did and they were delicious! The fresh pasta was amazing!!! We got gnocchi and fresh ravioli. I'm never a huge ravioli fan. I like them but typically prefer gnocchis. Well, these Ravis were a game changer! They were sooooo good. The gnocchis were good too but I would definitely itely go with the ravioli over the gnocchi. Yum! We got fresh provolone cut into chunks. The chunks were pretty large and the cheese was verrrry sharp! It was great! Also got small pepperoni rounds. They were also good! Spent about 70 bucks for those cheeses and pepperoni, three dozen ravioli and three pounds of gnocchi. It smelled really good inside and was a relatively large space. They also make sandwiches. We thought about bringing some home for dinner that night but ultimately didn't. We will be returning for sandwiches AND pasta in the future, though! So good! Highly recommend this place! Super glad it was recommended to me! read more

amazingly Fresh Pasta ! Wow so happy with this discovery ! the spinach ricotta ravioli and gnocchi were so Light !!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I love this place. Hoagies and sandwiches are awesome. Only reason I did not give them 5 stars are because of their salads. PLEASE don't get me wrong, the salad was delicious. I'm just trying to eat healthy for the new year. My Cobb salad had more chicken than veggies. I had so much chicken left over I was able to make two extra salads the next day with the extra chicken and bacon. Good and bad thing I guess. ‍‍ Always been my favorite hoagie spot for a while. Just need some more veggies with the salads though. read more

Pastificio - Turkey Hoagie - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great Food. Always Fresh. Quick friendly delivery and service. Love the variety of the menu.

I usually find myself dining here for lunch a few times a month. Pastificio is one of, or the best sandwich shop in Philadelphia and I didn't think they could have impressed me any more than what they've done thus far. However there are two instances when I feel this place earned a few more notches on their belt. One thing that refreshed my love for Pastificio is their chicken cutlet sandwiches. On numerous occasions Pastificio would be ordered for team meetings, or other events at my office. Unfortunately, most of the time we don't always get to eat right away because a question would extend the meeting pass the lunch break. I am not the saying the chicken cutlet sandwiches were bad, as they still contained a enormous amount of flavor, but it was nothing like what I experienced the day I decided to switch up from my usual pepper turkey sandwich, and put my choppers into a fresh cutlet sandwich. Holy Heck! Why have I put this off for so long? The cutlets sandwiches have that nice delicate crust with a delicious moist interior. I am not a fan of mozzarella, so I prefer the OMG with sharp provolone, with the tomatoes, and pesto but, my favorite, is the cutlet with sharp provolone, and roasted peppers. You can tell the difference between eating a fresh sandwich right away or after a short ride back to the office; not over 45 minutes later. I am guilty of this too. (Read on) The second time I placed Pastificio on my deli pedestal, alone it was due to the catering order I placed with them just a little over a week ago at the end of July. After spending a tremendous amount of $$$ on my twins 1st birthday party, my wife and I wanted to significantly cut the budget in half for their 2nd birthday. We were trying to cut cost, but not quality. I mentioned Pastificio and my wife put her trust in me. For sandwiches I ordered a five loft sandwich tray consisting of turkey, Italian, and cold roast pork 3,2,1 respectively, and added a chicken & roasted peppers cutlet loft. Now I was the one guilty of picking up my order at 11:30 and not serving my guest till 2:30. The hypocrisy!! We had leftover sandwiches but the cutlets were gone before the party was even over. In addition to the sandwiches we ordered a full tray of chicken parm, and a half tray of baked pasta. I could certainly vouch for the sandwiches, but in regards to the other food items, I was confident we were not going to be disappointed; and I was right. Everyone loved the food. Our guest were pleased, so pleased that I had to place a little chicken parm to the side for myself or it would have all be gone. The chicken was so delicate but not soggy with an ample amount of cheese that didn't over power the chicken. I was happy that I was able to satisfy my guest while satisfying my wallet. Price was equivalent to the quantity and quality. read more

Shared an Italian and Chicken cutlet hoagie with a buddy before the Eagles game yesterday. Chicken cutlet made me think of my grandmother's...pounded nice and thin and seasoned to perfection. Thank you for such an amazing job and bringing back a wonderful memory of my grandmother. 10 stars! read more

The best chicken cutlets and deli meats in Philadelphia! I have never had a bad meal from this place. A true South Philadelphia institution

Everyone who works here already knows it, we all know it, your the only one in the room that doesn't....This is the best hoagie spot in South Philly. Classic Italian all the way, done perfect Ignore the Microsoft word Logo and their takeout menus that look like they were made for Chinese food, the only branding to be considered is the paper they use to wrap the sandwiches. read more

Pastificio - * Classic Italian Hoagie, w: L/T/O & Oil, Lays S+V (they have better but screw that) Aranciata Rossa, Full Pickle out of the Barrel - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Good sandwiches. Bread will be tougher as it gets later in the day. But it's always packed with goodies and extremely consistent as far as quality goes. Count on a lunch rush during the week. This includes delivery. Plan ahead. If you do decide to venture in, you'll be greeted with tons of parking and lots of imported Italian goodies inside the store. It ain't cheap though so just stick to the fresh food. Stay local... read more

Good. Not great. Was expecting a little more but it was good. Sandwich was pretty small. Had the roast pork w long hots and the vodka parm sandwiches. Guess I am just used to better Italian food especially from neighborhood like this. Just was expecting overwhelming because of the reviews. Definitely better sandwich's in the area. read more

OMG! Deliciously fresh! The rolls, meat, cheese, veggies, hoagies and sandwiches are really really good! It's worth the trip to treat yourself happy! You will see that Pastificio is the Best go to every time! read more

This is a restaurant that was awarded a best of Philly award for their Italian sandwich. We decided to try it out on our way to a sixers game. The place was very small with just one tiny table at the front for seating. I suppose I didn't do my research to see that this is more of a grab and go kind of spot. The cashier was nice to help us with our questions. We ended up ordering the two foot Italian sub to share amongst the five of our group and an order of meatballs (you pay $2 per meatball and as many as you'd like, 50cents extra for cheese). The sub was pretty good and the meatballs too. I like my meatballs a bit spicier and with more herbs but everyone in the group seemed to like them very much. The texture of the meat was very smooth. It was a nice place to try out but I may or may not come again. read more

Pastificio - Italian sub 2 feet long cut into 5 pieces for our group. - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We stopped by on our way to the airport for some hoagies (since the first place we tried was closed). Picked up to to go and there were fresh and delicious. While this place is pretty small it has a nice deli selection with prosciutto and interesting sandwiches or hoagies as they are know in Philly. They also have hot sandwiches and soup. They had the Italian wedding soup when we were there. My husband does not pass a freezer full of pasta, meatballs, lasagne without taking some home. So we both were glad to find this place (it is right next to chickie and petes) so when you are in the neighborhood or even if you are not- stop by and pick up some yummy food from this local place. I loved it and will be back in April when we are in town. read more

Can't believe I am the first to review this awesome spot. I guess it is truly a hidden gem! When it comes to mouth-watering hoagies and sandwiches in South Philly, Pastificio is right there with Ricci's, Lombardi's, and Chicky's as the best of the lot. It certainly is a cut above places like Cosmi's, NJP, and the sad cheesesteak joints. And when I think of the best of Philly cuisine in terms of sandwich food, I think of delicious, gut-busting gastronomic debacles which you simply cannot find anywhere else. Pastificio is one of the standard bearers of these South Philly treasures. There is a distinct home-y feeling to Pastificio. Not only is this a great sandwich place, you can get a cast array of wonderful homemade pastas, sauces and cheeses. It is a one-stop specialty shop. Not only that, they make their own FRESH MOZZARELLA!! Has to be tasted to be believed. The secret ingredient is love. But let's face it- really, the sandwiches are the main attraction. The Meatball Special, which is simply meatballs, greens and sharp cheese on a bun-no sauce!- has won a few awards. And it deserves them all. Hard to imagine anything tastier between two buns outside of the bedroom. There are other interesting options on the menu- one of my favorites being the Chicken Diablo, a juicy cutlet with pepper jack cheese and long hots. Just had that today. Quite good. There are the standards, of course, and they are delicious too. The Italians, tunas, turkey n cheeses, and a whole host of others. Try one, try them all. On the run in deep South Philly and need a quick, satisfying sandwich? Pastificio's is the spot. read more

You guys...I finally found it. Fries that held up during delivery. I didn't think it was possible. Plus DOPE sandwiches. Found my new favorite go-to when ordering through UberEats. We ordered from here last week and are now officially hooked. BF ordered the "OMG" sandwich - chicken cutlet, tomato, mozzarella, pesto - and I'm pretty sure he definitely said "OMG" when he bit into it (but maybe with a few more curse words...like goddammit this sh*t is good, or something like that). I got the "Mozzarella Bella" hoagie - fresh, homemade 'mootsarell' marinated in EVOO and topped with roasted red peppers. Both were fantastic. Fresh AF hoagie rolls and MASSIVE in quantity. (We got the medium sized, which is their standard hoagie size, and was enough to split into 2 meals...all for only like $8-9). Also got a side of waffle fries and they arrived wonderfully crispy and seasoned and hot (maybe waffle fries are the key to ordering fries to-go). Then the following week we visited in-house since we were on the road. He got the OMG again cause he loved it so much, but I opted for the meatball parm sub. Holy hell, was that amazing. Those meatballs were like racquetballs. Huge, seasoned perfectly, and soft without being mushy. Gravy was nice, too. Took a look around the shop when we were there and picked up some munchies. Had a gander at the freezer full of homemade pastas and soups and had to tear myself away from it before I bought it all. Staff was super friendly, as well. I will absolutely be making this a regular spot when I've got a hankering for good subs. read more

Pastificio is an Italian food shop and deli in deep South Philly - directly nextdoor to Chickie and Pete's and near the stadium complex. It has gotten recognition of late for its hoagies and I thought the classic one I had here recently was well-made and certainly above average. What I found though to be lacking was that one pays extra for long hots but the long hots that I received on my hoagie were not at all hot to my taste buds and more like 'long milds'. I probably should have just stayed with the regular hot peppers which I assume would have been included free. Two tips - They make homemade mozzarella here and it is very good. A couple of tables are outside in front of the shop if you want to eat your purchase on the spot. There are def a couple of other shops in Philly whose hoagies I have liked even more so I can't name Pastificio as my personal favorite but it certainly is a tasty option en route to a Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, or Sixers game. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had in Philly. Family owned and operated and it shows. They know their customers by name, and they know their sandwiches even better. Felt like family the first time I went in. Everything is fresh and delicious read more

This place is everything Primos wishes it was. Great deli, great food, South Philly charm. I got an Italian Hoagie with sharp provolone. It was delicious and did not disappoint in the least. The meat was cut thin which made it easy to bite into to. I also got an order of pepper shooters which were awesome. I noticed a variety of salads, cheeses and cheese spreads that looked pretty good. They've got a parking lot which is a plus in South Philly. It's right next to Chickies which makes it a great tail gate, pre game destination. read more

I was in your store to purchase pasta. It was very crowded, the line was around 10 deep. The elderly woman behind the counter was yelling and so rude to me and other customers. I understand that you are busy, but there is no need to he rude. Maybe have 2 lines one for orders, one for purchasing other items. You have a very good product, but there are plenty of other places in south philly. I walked out of there disgusted with the way I was treated. read more

Extremely rude lady. They decided they were not delivering because of a little snow without telling me, called 3 times and they finaly answered to tell Me they werent delivering that day even if they already had my money, she acted like I was at fault for ordering through yelp. Terrible and insulting service. read more

Delicious roasted pork with broccoli rabe sandwich! Was ready for the food delivery service quickly and delivered with care.

I've ordered sandwiches from here a few times and they have never disappointed me. Place is kinda hidden in what looks like strip mall and all the groceries in the front of the store. I wish I could peek into the kitchen to watch the sandwiches being made, but due to the layout of the store not possible. Very homey feeling and welcoming atmosphere. read more

The rolls are incredible! I got the tuna hoagie and it was pretty good. Not fishy and not too mayo-y. Husby got the eggplant parm and even though he isn't usually a fan he liked this better than most. The waffle fries were flavorless but nothing a little salt couldn't fix. I guess the disappointing thing was the "fried" ravioli. Everyone raves about it and it was just ok. Like, it wasn't fried a ton so it wasn't super crunchy and breaded like I thought it would be. And it wasn't super flavorful either. The marinara was excellent, though. So maybe the lesson is to get things with sauce since that seems to have been the winner for us. read more

Pastificio - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I recently moved back to Philadelphia after seven years abroad, and had a lot of sandwich eating to make up on. I launched myself into an intense sandwich tour, trying to find the best hoagie and best cutlet in Philadelphia. I tried all the famous places, all the best reviewed places, all the obscure spots that look disgusting but might actually have good food, I've tried everything. Nobody touches Pastificio. Not even close. The BEST Italian Hoagie in the city, the BEST cutlets in the city. It doesn't make sense - how are they this much better than everyone?! Delivery is always on time (I've ordered a LOT of delivery from here....), hot and accurate and the delivery drivers are very friendly! I've been forcing so many people to try it and they're all believers now. Do yourself a favor and get a sandwich from Pastificio, you will not regret it. read more
