I'm not going to one-star what is easily the best bread bakery in our area over sandwiches.
I am going to be two stars worth of petty about default mayo on an Italian sandwich, however. I'm going to be even more salty about it when I not only get pushback on it from a bakery, but get the sandwich made with mayo even after asking for it to be withheld.
I realize that an Italian sub may not seem like a great bastion of culture at this point--especially since everyone from Subway to Firehouse to Jimmy John's (who should know better) has slathered it in enough mayonnaise for it to be considered a prize-winning Midwest casserole--but Dos Hermanos seems like the place that would take the roots of such a sandwich seriously and realize the function of all of its elements.
An Italian sandwich isn't "dry" without mayonnaise. The cured meats have enough fat content to carry much of the burden (thanks, salami and prosciutto). The signature and sesame baguettes don't need a schmear of mayo, either, as you're topping them with red onion, lettuce, tomato, and cherry peppers soaked in vinaigrette.
An Italian sandwich is, functionally, a robust antipasto encased in a baguette for ease of consumption. This is the way in came onto worksites on the East Coast and throughout the Great Lakes and river towns where immigrants settled, and this is how the best forms of it exist today.
Now I know Dos Hermanos would never demean a sandwich like the Papa Gabe Chop or the Cochinita Pibil with globs of mayo. I'd strongly suggest it reconsider why it feels it's OK to do so with an Italian sandwich.
P.S. Extra star for putting up with a guy who came here--a place with bakery in the name--looking for something keto-friendly. Bro, you went into the house of carbs and were like "do you have something without carbs?" Yeah, it's called air... outside... where your ignorant ass belongs.
