Finally, a sandwich shop on NW 23rd! Located right next to See Eyewear, with plenty of tables out front, this was the perfect spot to grab a bite after ordering prescription sunglasses next door.
Inside is designed like an old fashioned sandwich shop - colorful, fun, a counter up front to order, menu up above, just a few tables as this isn't a hangout place. It's a pick-up a sandwich to eat there quickly or to go.
Since I love mortadella and I'm from NJ were subs are the norm, I went with the #4. Stuffed with Italian meats - mortadella, sopresseta, salami, cappecola - with pickled peppers, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onion and pepperocini. Glad I saw that they put mustard on this sandwich, which to me doesn't go, so I asked them to leave it off.
The sandwich was very filling, big enough for two meals for me, which at $14 plus a tip, it better be! When I'm home in NJ, a deli sub or sandwich is in the $6.99 range and I can never get used to Portland's sandwich prices. Don't get me started on the price of pizza (large pepperoni back home is just $15.)
