Original Ricci's Hoagies

I ordered a party tray for an employee event. The hoagies were a nice size, tasty and fresh. Im getting calls about where the hoagies came here. 2 days later they are still taste amazing.

Philly is my home city, I haven’t been here in a long time. My goal was to get a great cheesesteak and a great hoagie. I did my research and tried Ricci’s. Friendly greeting, got advice at the counter that guided me to an excellent hoagie. When they saw I gave them a tip, the cashier called out- she took care of us. And everyone in there said thank you. I like that practice and love this sandwich shop. High quality, assembled with care and individualized. I also saw some of Phillies finest come and get lunch. That’s a great sign to me. Thx!

Ordered Too Good To Go bags to try this restaurant. There were 3 staffs, a younger lady, a senior lady, and a young guy on 3/4 evening. The bag clearly said stromboli, but the younger lady insisted on giving me plain bread instead and was very unfriendly about it, even before knowing I was for TGTG. I was trying new restaurant do you think it was a begging or scamming??? Lmao Thanks for the senior lady and the guy who maintained a correct vibe and solution. Owner: please train your staff.

First off, their large hoagie is smaller than any other pizza, sandwich shop's regular size hoagie! For $20 I was expecting a slightly larger than normal hoagie or at least more meat! I barely had toppings. I've never seen the kind of corn beef they used in my life, so not worth what they are asking for and the roll was hard!! For $26.80 (tax, tip, delivery) I am very unhappy with my less than satisfactory hoagie. NEVER will I eat from here again and Im making sure my coworkers at Presbyterian Hospital wont either.

Was craving a chicken cutlet hoagie, so I stopped in. I wouldn’t consider what I got to be cutlets, they were more like chicken tenders. They weren’t thin or golden brown, the way I prefer. They were under seasoned too. It felt like a wawa chicken tender hoagie. The bread was decent, love a seeded roll. Service was ok and atmosphere is what you’d expect. Overall, I don’t think I’d come back.

Good subs, what more could you ask for? As a New Jersey native, I wish they put the oil and vinegar onto the bread instead of the meat - but that seems like it's the Philly way. The classic Italian hit the spot.

I stopped in today for lunch with a colleague. There was a decent-sized line that almost deterred us from ordering, but with a TV playing sports, we decided to wait it out. To our surprise, the line moved fast! Both of our hoagies were delicious—generously filled, and the seeded Italian rolls were fresh and crisp. We will definitely be back again Monday!

Went into the shop and these guys were so nice! Gave me two fresh loaves of bread and a bag of chips on the house. The place has some of the freshest ingredients in Philly! I ordered an old fashioned and had no sauce and this Hoagie is easily one of the best I’ve had. This is what I imagine when someone says local business in Philly. They need more signage out front though because everyone should experience this place! Owner seemed so nice too! Place looked spotless clean. I know you might see that other review but let me tell you if she had actually went into the business she would have had a DIFFERENT experience. Hate to see a review that could have been solved with the owner and arguably has nothing to do with the business. This place is a GEM and I’m sure the guys inside would have corrected a wrong if talked to!

Had the Italian hoagie and it was excellent as always. As good as the original on 11th st.

Ricci's was having a $10 hoagie sale on a monday a week or 2 ago so I went and picked up 4 to take to my family. I got 1 turkey, 2 italian, and an eggplant. Everyone loooved the turkey and the italian. No one really wanted to eat the eggplant so I won't get that one again (this might be due to my family and not Ricci's fault haha). Everyone thought the bread was fantastic. All the meat was freshly sliced for the hoagies while I waited. They had some nice options for toppings. They originally rang the sandwiches up incorrectly but I had them correct the pricing before I paid.

Absolutely amazing!! Service is wonderful and the best hoagies !!! Bread is amazing. I've had the Italian and the turkey. Can't wait to try more!

Such a great experience! I ordered a turkey and cheese hoagie with Herr's chips. It was absolutely delicious. For toppings, I got lettuce, tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, and pickles. The service was fast and the place clean. I'll be back!

If I could give a million stars I would. The customer service is unmatched and the hoagies are some of the best I've ever had!

I walked in and was greeted by a super friendly staff at peak lunch hour. The deli was noticeably clean. Herr's chips offered a vast variety of choices to complement your sandwich needs. I ordered a honey turkey hoagie, pepper jack cheese, LTO, mayo and seasoning. To start, the Liscio's seeded roll tasted like it was days old. Thin sliced Dietz & Watson lunch meat sat inside the roll layered with shaved lettuce, tomato and onion. My hoagie was overly coated with mayo and also lacked seasonings. Overall it beats Wawa but not by much.

Do not eat here. I bit into my hoagie and almost swallowed a piece of jagged plastic. Unbelievable.

I had the smoked turkey hoagie and enjoyed it! It was a pretty standard hoagie but lots of good options there

Just left "Original" Ricci's and was not impressed. They are using a Liscio's roll and they freshly shave the deli meat on spot. Friendly staff and great customer service too. That unfortunately is where the good ends. Stainless steel bowls of thinly sliced tomatoes, pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce adorn the counter in front of you as you watch your subpar "hoagie" being made. It's wrapped up, barely seasoned and off you go, wasting $20.

This is the spot. It doesn't get better than this. Order the "Old Fashion" with "The Works" and it will not disappoint.

The prices are way too high, and I was pretty grossed out that they leave the deli meats for sandwiches out on a cutting board all day instead of keeping them refrigerated

For several years we travelled 15 miles to the original Ricci's Hoagie shop at 11th and Innis in south Philly to get hoagies. As we age. we tend to forget things. Realizing that I had not been to Ricci;s for quite some time, it came back to me Today, the exact reason why we STOPPED travelling the great distance for a mediocre subpar hoagie. Today, I purchased two Italian Hoagies, but to our disappointment - again, we found, Ricci's hoagies are No Longer Special. The meats are not of good grade or quality. The lettuce is disgustingly shredded, tomatoes are tissue thin, and the rolls are truly, inferior hoagie rolls. Simply put Ricci's Hoagies now in present time SUCKS!!! Neither my husband nor I ate more than a couple of bites from the hoagies. We trashed the sandwiches. It is SOOO disappointing when restaurants with good following and reputations, ruin it all to increase their bottom line. I can only guess that when their business decline significantly, they will try to re-group and offer quality shit like they had done for many years, but I also quess it will be too late then, and they will either go bankrupt or sell the business. Ricci, if you read this review, think back to the products you used before the pandemic, and go back to those. People don't mind paying for quality shit. Then you can raise your prices, otherwise, you're headed for ruin. We truly miss what used to be an especially good Hoagie from Ricci's. I'm just saying!
