Best Subs In The Valley

[mucho gordo]

Had never heard of Jersey Mike's before. I ate one yesterday and it was far superior to Subway(junk), Quizno's (way overpriced), Art's (also junk) and Dan's (somewhat better than Arts).
None of the above can match an authentic Italian grinder made by authentic Italians like you can get back east.

I'm a huge fan of San Carlo...consistently find the people much nicer than the people at Italia also.

i am a big fan of Cavaretta's Italian Deli on Sherman Way, just past Topanga. their meatball sub is divine!

[magic man]

Dan's Sub in Woodland Hills is the bomb.

[Galen]

I second Cavaretti's. Love their subs.

I dont know if these two are related but both have great food and subs.

Try Santoro's and Taste Chicago (both in Burbank) for another comparison. The former isn't mentioned much here, and the latter gets mixed reviews. I like TC's Italian beef but haven't had their cold subs. Otto's Delicatessen, while not strictly Italian, may be worth a shot (haven't been there in a while).

OTOH I was extremely unimpressed by South Street's philly steak - mediocre and overpriced.

Try Antidote on Vanowen & White Oak in Encino. They bake their own bread on premises, are very generous with their meat, and their subs are the best I've had in the valley so far. Much better than Jersey Mike's...and certainly on a par with Bay Cities, but you get a lot more meat on an Antidote sub. The sub shop is actually in back of the liquor store in front, and as far as ambiance goes, is nothing special at all, so I always get mine to go. I usually get an Italian sub, which is enough for 2 moderately hungry people, and the price can't be beat - $6.50.

Try DeFranko's Subs. DeFranko, hum, that sounds Italian. Check them out. I might even go there today. www.defrankos.com

Thanks. I had forgotten about that place. Also remembered Matt & Tony's but not sure if they're still around.

[Burger Boy]

I think they are still around.

satarno's in burbank is good too.

Roma Deli on North Lake has all the Italian you need, and Little Pietro's which is next door makes a pretty good sub. Claro's (multiple locations, but good neighborhood deli) will do in a pinch, too.

You HAVE to try Capriotti's in Encino. I am not a big fan of subs but loved my turkey sub from there. Warning: Even the small sub is big. I also tried the Capriotti's in BH, across from Neiman Marcus. They have a really good thing going. Easy parking at NM.

Try Dave's Chillin' and Grillin' in Eagle Rock or Papa Jake's on Little Santa Monica in Beverly Hills.

What's the nearest cross street for Papa Jake's?

Just googled the place and they seem to be noted more for their Philly Cheese steak than for true Italian subs.
If you want an excellent Philly Cheese Steak try South Street in Burbank. Superb with the hot or medium hot peppers. Try the onion rings, too.
