I go about once every week or two. Cold sandwiches are way better than the hot. The hot ones get all gooshy, need a fork. Their Italian is majestic, I could put away 20 of those. read more

The best Hoagies in the area, PERIOD. There really isn't much to say other than the fact that moving from Philly to Berks county was scary because who knew where I would get my sandwiches. They have hard rolls, (THANK GOD,) because the other sandwich shops like to give you a hoagie on a gigantic hot dog bun which they call a "soft roll." read more

I don't like this Screpesi's shop. This was the first of their chain to open. This place is horribly unorganized. There's no parking. I remember I went in there to pick up an order and it was like complete chaos. It felt like a bread line and people fighting over food. There was no organization or line direction. Finally when I was able to make it up to the counter to pick up my order I paid and left. I got home and the pizza was cold and my sandwich was wrong. How can they mess something up that you repeat multiple times to them? Stay away from here. Horrible. read more

I was in here about a month ago and was very disappointed. To start, I called in ahead of time and they told me 20 minutes. When I arrived to pick up my order I was asked to wait in line. This took about 10 minutes. When I finally got there to pick my order up, they said it will be 10 more minutes as it was never made. I am not one to complain but with a short lunch break from work I was pretty upset by this. Why bother take my phone order and give me a time to pick up. I am only giving this 2 stars cause the sandwich was not bad. It wasn't great either. Also this place is not what you call clean or sanitary from just my personal view. read more

Best sandwiches in Berks County, and priced for value. Love the butter and mayo. In their ham sandwich. Italian sandwich is wonderful. Steak sandwich is an interesting variation with red sauce. You can add double meat to any sandwich if you are extra-hungry, too. This small family-operated shop far exceeds the sandwiches of their rival on the other side of Lancaster Ave nearer Shillington (whose sandwiches severely declined over the last decade or two-destroying their brand in the process). Screpesi's has earned the new #1 slot hands-down. Reading natives who return to visit now seek out Scepesi's for their Berks County "sandwich fix." read more

Don't let the small size fool you, the sandwiches here are top notch. One of the best places to get subs in Berks.

The Italian is the closest I can find to a "Chubby's" sandwich. Anyone that remembers "Chubby's sandwich shop" as being the best sandwich shop in Reading, and in my opinion all the world. They are extremely good. read more

Great local sub shop! Cheap and has been in business a long time for a reason!

Every time I call in an order for pick up it is always wrong! Very frustrating! The tuna wasn't very good this time either. Need to find a new place for tuna salads. read more

Screpsie's made a horrible first impression on me. My boyfriend and I came in and each ordered an Italian sub. We each got ours a little different and the woman did not write anything down. She couldn't have messed up the sandwiches more! We both ordered hard rolls, she was about to make one on soft. We both ordered oil and vinegar, and she didn't put any on! They were so dry. I also said no peppers and she smeared some pepper spread on mine. There were a few other mistakes she made as well. We got half pieces of cheese, and the only meat we got on ours was some kind of Bologna and salami-that's not an Italian???! Sorry to say but I probably wouldn't come back here. It's a shame because I was really excited to try it there. Write your orders down next time!!!! read more

Fabulous sandwiches! We stopped here on our way home from a sporting event and ordered sandwiches for our whole family. Although we had to wait a bit, it was well worth it! read more

Visiting from CT. Screpesi's was our first stop. I could've gone to the grocery store for a better sub. Sloppy subs, slow service, and rude attitudes. read more

Other reviews are correct...Screpesi's has the best sandwiches in town. My family has been eating their food for 3 generations. The quality control is excellent, never had a bad meal here. read more

Best Sandwiches in town! The Ham and Cheese sandwiches are the best! This is a cool small family owned business. Reasonably priced and the employees are typically friendly and accommodating! If you have not eaten a Screpesi's sandwich, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! read more

Highly recommend this little sandwich shop! Food was fresh and service was prompt. Really affordable too!

I am not from the area but I work up here. My coworker ordered out from here and I got the sausage and it was really good. The roll was soft , the peppers and onions were fresh and the gravy the best. Next time they order out I'm going right along with them. read more

Love the sandwiches! Great place to get something classic simple yet amazing in taste to eat on the go!

I was introduced to this place as a young girl by my grandma- who often spoke of a friend at work called "Screpsi." Since then, I have known this place has produced the best sandwiches in town (for over 30 years....prob much more!) This is the only place I *ever* get an Italian sandwich. The ingredients used (rolls-meat-cheese- mayo) are by far higher quality than any other options in the area. On the corner of a busy street, it is worth the time to find a parking spot and order your lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love Screpesi's. My favorite place for a cold sub. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that there are a lot of young kids that work there who usually end up working slow, not remembering the order, and a lot of times messing it up. Also one of the girls there makes a great sandwich but has a horrible attitude. Guess you can't have it all. read more

The best absolute best sandwich shop and all of Reading it's a little hole in the Wall. Reminds me of the great sandwich shops in New Jersey. I have tried pretty much every place around and they are the best read more

This place is my favorite sandwich ever! Their tuna or meatball subs never disappoint. My only complaint is their sanitary practice, I really wish the employees would wear gloves when handling the food. Whenever I go in to get something to eat it always freaks me out seeing the ladies handle the cold cuts and other ingredient and then touching money. They don't wash their hands in between just go back and forth from money to making the food, if they would be more mindful of this, I'd rate the place 5stars! Oh and they don't have pickles! I would love that as an option too!!! read more

I always loved sandwiches from Screpsis's but they've lost a customer... the sandwiches I got yesterday we're just plain sad!!! They've always been overstuffed in the past and worth the price, but the sandwiches I got yesterday .. a large cheese hoagie & small tuna hoagie... had maybe 1/4 of what they normally would have... on my tuna hoagie I had to search for the tuna!!! So disappointed!!! I asked for crushed peppers on the side too & they forgot to put them in my bag... which I probably paid for! Won't be back! read more

Good sandwiches, great onions and everything is always fresh. I love a family business that has been doing things right for 2 generations

Been visiting family in Reading for 45 years and this is a sandwich shop that takes me back to being a kid. Been to many over time.. Screpesi's is awesome. Brought my son there last year, now there is a new generation heading to Reading for sandwiches... This is the destination. Pack them to go.. Freeze them, they travel well. Looks like my son has us going on a road trip today. Good enough for a 4 hour car ride. Buckle up and enjoy read more

Best place to eat in the area for lunch. This place has been around forever and still makes a delicious lunch \ sandwhiches everyone can enjoy. Best Italian sandwhich around with great chips and drinks from the local area. Love it. High recommendation! read more

Best Italians in Reading!!! Go there every other week. Its an original. Used to hang out at Screpisi across from Reading High in the day. Now its Italians on Sunday read more

Small diamond in the rough. Italian and ham sandwiches were yummy! Better than v&s... They take credit cards!! Nice and friendly staff.

The BEST ham sandwiches you will EVER eat:) There are many sandwich shops in and around the Reading area and none of them come close to the way Screpesi's makes their sandwiches. Their meats and rolls are ALWAYS fresh......the key is the buttered roll!!!! read more

I don't know why everyone in this area thinks they are so great. Just because they have been around for generations doesn't mean the food is quality or decent. The Italian Subs are NOT a 'classic Italian' if you are someone who thinks they are, go to Philly and try to order this awful Italian sub and they will laugh at you. I specifically said light onions on mine, only to come back to work from a 30 minute wait in line to remove a large amount myself. Tuna subs are ok, but I'll honestly probably go to Wawa for a Tuna from now on because it's cheaper and not such a sloppy mess. I've worked in the restaurant business, I understand that I came at noon on a work day and didn't call ahead, but please write an order down when there is a line out the door. We don't wanna wait that long to instruct you through our sand which or have it be wrong when we now only have 30 minutes to get back to work and try to enjoy some food. read more

Screpesis Sandwich Shop - Pizza Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

We went in today to get sandwiches for lunch. I had my 10 year old and 1 1/2 year old daughters. I waited in line and as people kept coming in the door they were being waited on as I was still standing there. I was in the store for about 20 minutes and was never waited on so we left without anything. read more

You are not missing anything, a ham sandwich with butter can be had anywhere... This is another Reading classic--- where just because its been around doesn't make it good. read more

My absolute most favorite Italian sandwich shop in Reading. And ham on roll. Great three foot subs for parties. Can't go wrong!

Stopped here for a sandwich as we passed through. Could not decide who had the best, between the Italian, Turkey, or Ham. All were well proportioned, made with quality ingredients, and delicious. Next time we come through the area, we will definitely be stopping again. Also appreciated the support of other local businesses with the chip and drink selections. read more

A bit of a wait most times, but the sandwiches are really good. I have to really hit the gym with the mayo and butter but its worth it!

Reminds me of a corner deli in South Philly. Great set up. Hoagies are delicious and filling and inexpensive. Great find.

This is a far cry from the days of yore. Italian and ham sandwiches were okay, but the steak sandwich was not good; let's call it awful. This was echoed by everyone in our group. The shop was dirty and overall a worn and frayed place. I'm sorry we didn't go further up to V&S sandwich shop which is consistently good and clean. read more

Never had a bad sandwich here. Good rolls, reasonably priced. Tip: call in your order to avoid long waits

My father grew up with the original owner of this place. I believe his name was Pat. They were very good friends. I grew up in Memphis, Tn but anytime we are back in Reading we have to go get an Italian sandwich from this place. By far the best sub I have ever had. I have many happy memories of this place as a child. If it's any testament to the food here I will share a story. I went to this restaurant when I was about 12. Years later I returned to visit family without my father. I was probably about 18. I found this place by memory without any help. That's a powerful hoagie if you ask me. read more

Frozen pizzas and microwaved meatballs. Nice people but there is nothing special about the food

can't give a lower rating or I would, well, I am originally from philadelphia, pa., & I really know what a good hoagie, cheesesteak, or soft pretzel tastes like. I have lived in the lancaster area now for about 23 yrs, my stepfather told me about screpsis in reading & how he went there years ago as a boy as he grew up in the area, I tried that location & was satisfied with what seemed to be a good old fashioned hoagie & good customer service. I was even happier when I discovered they had opened a store in the Mohnton, pa. area which is a lot closer to me than reading. we went there several times & were pleased, the last time we went & got sandwiches they didn't seem to have the good flavor as before, the girl who made the sandwiches was in a hurry & just slapped them together quickly. we decided to call them to let them know our disappointment & was told by an employee that someone would contact us, we tried back two other times & were told the same thing, we never received a call back from anyone, & now we will never go back again, it seems like they aren't concerned with their customer satisfaction, we have contacted other businesses before when not fully satisfied & have received phone calls& letters from the owners & even coupons to rectify our dissatisfaction, this surely is the way to keep customers comming back, not by ignoring them, that's the way to go out of business. read more
