"This takeout-only Queen Village shop, a warm and friendly bastion of South Philly’s favorite handheld, makes some of the city’s best hoagies and cutlet sandwiches. Of course there’s a fantastic Italian, but The Papale Special, stacked with pepper turkey, creamy Cooper Sharp, and olive oil is the surprisingly simple hoagie standout. If cutlets are more your speed, the Damien is a crispy, spicy delight. Grab one on a day off or for lunch and doctor them with all the L,T,O, and peppers you like, and call ahead to order (especially on weekends, when they sell out early)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
