Antonio's Deli (University City) — Restaurant in Philadelphia

This place just has the most delicious sandwiches. I have been several times and every time it’s amazing. Real, authentic Italian. The fried tomatoes are awesome, as is every sub— even the vegetarian ones. My BIGGEST GRIPE: the hours make no sense. I live right down the street, but often times, when I actually want a sub, the place is closed. And conversely, who gets a hoagie at 9AM? If I were this business owner, I would change the hours from 9AM-4PM Mon-Sat to 11AM-6PM Tue-Sun. Exactly the same number of hours, but then sometimes I could get a hoagie as I come home from work, or on a Sunday when I’m actually around. Just my two cents— I worry that they don’t get enough business, and I want them to stay open...

Tucked away on 38th and Lancaster Av you'll ride right past it... Look for 2 green Antonio's Deli signs on both sides of the street. I picked up a tuna hoagie and some chips (y'all need to get Herr's small bags of Hot Chips... Hint hints, suggest, suggests 😂) Good size for the price, everything no cheese and extra mayo. It's pretty tasty (not a fan of crusty bread but it wasn't too hard) Shop is clean and they sell other Italian products like pasta, sauces and cookies. Staff was friendly and didn't take them long to make my hoagie. Good stop if you need...

Top quality deli sandwiches, clean place and friendly employees. Reasonably priced if you don't go crazy with add-ons as is with any restaurant.

People on-the-go -- Place your order ahead or for a certain time and they can have things ready for you for your commute.

I wish they had an oven so they could sling some pizzas out to get put pressure on all the garbage, low effort pizza places around here. Hopefully some expanded hours in the future as they become more established for some Fri/Sat/Sun night...
