"Looking for the city's very best sandwiches? They're on Staten Island. On Wednesdays, Anthony's Paninoteca makes pastrami. On Thursdays, they make porchetta. And on Tuesdays, the special is The KiKi—a bread-based behemoth involving lemony layers of chicken francese and melted mozzarella, which you can (and should) get on a hero made of butter-soaked garlic bread. In other words, there is no bad day to come to this shop in Great Kills. Though young compared to some of the other Italian sandwich shops on this list, Anthony's small counter with four stools in the window and chandeliers on the ceiling feels like an instant classic. The Order: The Crispy Porchetta, The KiKi, or a pastrami sandwich if they’re available—or the roast beef-filled Do It For Johnny if not. Plus a cold sandwich to balance things out (try The Maria, with mortadella and fried eggplant)." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
