    Italian Sub
    Mike F.

    Feeling a bit torn about this place. That's because I order one thing and one thing only from Screpesi's - their Italian sub. Yes, I've tried other items. But they all pale in comparison, and that's putting it lightly. Their take on the Italian sub is the ONLY reason to come back. Let's take a brief look at the rest of the menu. It's concise to say the least. Certainly nothing wrong with a small menu. Small menus usually indicate a strong focus on what few items a restaurant offers. With fewer items on the menu, it's less stress on the staff. They can probably bang out everything on the menu from muscle memory after just a few weeks on the job. It equates to higher volume and faster service. The only thing is, those recipes have to be good to start with. What is up with the cheese steaks? Description on their website says "top quality chipped ribeye eye steak." Cool, but how about some seasoning? Oh, and their version comes with sauce by default. Personally, I'm fine with it. But damn, the sauce was as bland as the meat. It almost seemed like the sauce was just for coloring. It added absolutely no flavor. To make matters worse, they say onions are cooked with the steak no matter what. So you can't order a steak without onions. Again, to me, not a big deal since I like onions. But I couldn't even taste them. Just by the eye test, I could see maybe one or two tiny slices of onions. I was actually excited to have onions included, but they were nearly invisible (both visually and, uh, flavorfully?). They have some random stuff, too, like pizza. But it has the weirdest description I've ever read. It's pizza, but "carnival style." Then they have three different price points for each type (i.e. Cheese $5/$7/$9). I guess that would indicate small/medium/large? But that's pretty damn cheap for a large. Also in the description, it says "frozen shell." So are these frozen pizzas you pick up and take home and heat up in your own oven? It's so bizarre. That would mean they are just sitting on a mountain of frozen pizzas. And again, seriously, what the hell is carnival style?! Was really debating on 3 or 4 stars. Rounding down to 3 because Screpesi's is so one dimensional. Not just that they focus on sandwiches, but of all the sandwiches they sell, only one is worth buying. Everything else about them is outdated. An uninformative, defunct website with inaccurate pricing and refusal to partner with any delivery service is just icing on the cake.

    Screpesis!

    First time I tried this place. The italian on a hard roll with hot peppers was amazing! I highly recommend it!

    Large ham hoagie

    Delicious! We got an Italian large hoagie and a ham large hoagie. They were great sizes for the price and extremely fresh. I think this was the best ham I have ever had. The shop is clean and cute, a pure mom and pop shop through and through. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

    Very good Italian Hoagie. Meat was cut a little thicker than I like, but the hard roll was great and the charm of this small shop was neat.

    After Chubby's closed and Santo's vanished, the last of the great Reading sandwich shops rests with Screpesi's.
