What People Are Saying About Sarcone's Deli

In Short – Meat and cheese slicers flank a sandwich assembly line. While sandwich builders construct, the foreman takes orders at the cashier. Sarcone's bread is famous in Philly: it's soft, dense and chewy--perfect for sopping up flavors exuded from sandwiches doused in vinegar, oil and dried herbs. The menu calls them hoagies, but these local delicacies aren't your typical corner-store subs. Try hefty combinations that go by names like "the Booch:" roast beef, asparagus, sharp provolone.

Best Hoagies in the City!
by bethsoda
'nuff said - my favorite is the turkey. The bread is fantastic too - just be sure to get there before they run out - yes, they are THAT popular!
- Pros: The food, the people, the location (right by the italian market)
- Cons: Sometimes they run out of bread and you are without a hoagie - tragic...

Sarcone's is known throughout Philadelphia as one of the top delis in the city. Expect a great sandwich on their famous bread, piled high with meats and cheeses.
Come early, or you'll likely miss out on the chicken cutlet, pork, roast beef, etc.
You can also go down the street to Sarcone's Bakery and pick up all of your fresh bread for the week.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: limited seating
The Details on Sarcone's Deli
When To Go:
The bread supply often runs out before lunchtime ends, so come early--especially if you plan to take a loaf or two home.
Know Before You Go:
Call ahead to order hoagie trays, antipasti and side orders of olives stuffed with provolone, roasted garlic, hot pepper or prosciutto.
The Extras:
South Philly crooner Sonny Averona's CD is the one non-food-related item sold here, but the music goes perfectly with a little proscuitto.
