VVery good, just make sure you do not get the pickle on it, I like the soft bun with the hot food and the hard bun with the cold cuts, hold the damn pickle and easy tomatoes and onions. Great Place.

Ditto.
Although sometimes the sandwiches can be too big -- just too much meat.

For years, we got subs from Matt and Tony's on Victory across from the Victory Drive In Theater, I mean Sav-On, I mean Rite-Aid. Anyway, does anyone know if the Matt and Tony's in Mission Hills is one and the same?

I would say yes, but if you call and ask, I bet they'd tell you the truth.

Well, I guess I could pick up the phone.... I was just hoping there would be someone in the know who had info and could tell me if the subs were good but since they weren't mentioned as yet, maybe not.

Same place and great stuff.

No, unfortunatley it is not. I thought the M & T subs on Victory were the best I ever had, to this day. As I recall, Matt left early on and Tony had to close because of some tax problems. I really miss those subs!

Victor Jrs on Washington Boulevard in Culver City...their Italian is almost as good as the godmother.

Victor Jr.'s is friendly, casual, and very good. Closed on weekends. Order at counter, grab a table on the patio. Rolls are on the soft side. Meatballs are smaller than Bay Cities and more dense and firm. They advertise a Philly cheesesteak but it is more like a warm grinder. Excellent eggplant parm and chopped Italian salad, loaded pizzas, and friendly people.

are those meatballs pork or beef? thanks.

If they're "dense and firm," they're probably pure beef. The best meatballs, IMHO, are made from beef, sweet Italian sausage, and veal. (My preferred ratio is approximately 6:2:1; add a very small number of breadcrumbs and one egg/lb. of meat.) Seasoned right and simmered long, they'll be very tender and flavorful -- a meatball that is fantastic with pasta and sublime served room temperature and sliced on good bread. I haven't found anything like that (outside my home kitchen) in Los Angeles, although someone here recommended a place in San Pedro once whose meatballs, except for an odd off-flavor, were closer to my ideal than most.

Galco's in Highland Park used to have really good subs. Not sure if they do them any more, but they were soooo good. That with a craft soda and you're set.

Vince's in Atwater is not the same since the original owner's sold it. It was good in its time.

I will say that I have a history (high school) with the current owner, that said I have been going since the original owner (Vince) and I think that the sandwiches that are still on the menu from the original owner are just as good. I have not eaten any of the newer creations. Heck that ham & cheese for $1.25 how can you beat that?
