Where’s Tony when you need him?
Honestly, someone call Nonna and have her send Uncle Tony over to politely break some bread—or maybe some legs—because The Sandwich Mafia is disrespecting the family... and the sandwich game. These sandwiches? Fuggedaboutit. Dry, flavorless, and thinner than my cousin Vinny’s patience. If this is what they’re calling a “hit,” then it’s a miss, capisce?
We ordered The Uncle Tony, which comes with salami, pepperoni, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, black olives, and oil & vinegar on a hoagie. This was, without question, the saddest sandwich I’ve ever had the displeasure of paying for. One flimsy slice of each meat and cheese, and the bare minimum of veggies they could legally get away with. If Uncle Tony knew his name was being slapped on this, he’d have made The Sandwich Mafia sleep with the fishes.
Their Instagram? Fugazi. It’s all thick stacks of meat, cheese, and toppings. But what you actually get is a sad, limp excuse for a sandwich. Check the photos I posted if you need the visual heartbreak.
Do yourself a favor—save your appetite, your wallet, and your dignity. Go eat somewhere else. Heck, even Subway would’ve been a hundred times better... and that’s...
Read moreAnnabel and her staff made the most amazing pizza I've ever had. The dough isn't just fresh, you can hear them kneading it. The tomato sauce is unmistakably homemade and the perfect amount. The cheese.. also fantastic and not too greasy. I ordered a half pepperoni, half pepperoni and meatballs. The pepperoni was delicious and came in various thicknesses, which I greatly prefer over manufactured pepperoni produced in uniform. The meatballs were outstanding. Many meatballs are either too fatty or too dry: these were crumbled, crispy, and just the way you'd want them. The crust was lightly brushed with olive oil and garlic, almost like a garlic knot, so the entire slice is flavorful.. exactly like you never knew you wanted, until you've had a slice from the Sandwich Mafia in Estes Park. I only gave 3 stars for the atmosphere, because this isn't a "classy" restaurant-- it's a place you'd take your buddies after a day of fun.. more than a hole-in-wall.. the Sandwich Mafia is a needle in a haystack, and I'd SOLIDLY! recommend it to people on motorcycle roadtrips, climbers, hikers, and anyone who...
Read moreThis place has a fantastic location. As you walk down Elkhorn Ave, you'll notice a cool little sign at the start of an alleyway that says "Pizza." You'll also find a sign that points you through the alleyway and a menu. I give them credit for including the menu there as well; it makes it easier to decide to eat there without any pressure. Once you reach the end of the alley, you'll see the entrance. There is a second floor with seating and a bathroom, but you'll order downstairs. I will say, there isn't much seating, however, this place is more of a quick lunch before heading back to your stroll.
The service was excellent - friendly and fast. The food came out fairly quickly. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, and something about their dough just tasted great. In my opinion, it was a very good pizza. We definitely enjoyed what this place had to offer. The unique location and delicious pizza make...
