The Italian Place has a sub called the Ovi that is pretty good. Not a lot of noteworthy Italian sub shops in the DC area anyhow.

Rode my bike to Deli on the Strand for a sandwich many a time growing up. Loved that place!


I was thinking about this place too! UGH SO good! I remember being a tween and loving those monster sandwiches. They were $8 which was probably like $12ish now.


What a blast from the past - my sister worked there as a teenager about 30 years ago!


I used to work there too back in 90-92. So sad I just found out its gone. Didn't really care for sandwiches till I worked there. I'll never forget that place!!

Live around the corner and I agree.


Um, they're closed??? The storefront is empty.

There is a GREAT sandwich shop in the Belle View Shopping Center. Try out Bread & Water. Awesome sandwiches. My favorites are the Pulled Pork and the Egg Salad. Another option is Primo's for carryout. Their chicken salad on toasted Italian roll is awesome and very inexpensive.
