Tony & Pete’s

I'm so glad I decided to brave Dayton driving (being from small town Iowa) to try Tony & Pete's!! It was incredible. Definitely the best vegan sub I've ever had, plus a super cool vibe and friendly staff. All around great experience I'd definitely recommend. I'll be back again for sure. My only regret was not bringing my purse in when I picked up because I saw they had a ton of interesting food items to buy, like vegan hot fudge!

The Turkey pesto sandwich is hands down the best pesto sandwich ever. Went for the first time today and the place was packed buttt ended up getting my sandwich in under 5 minutes. Super fast and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back ✌🏻

My husband and shared the Italian Beef. Where do I start! First the meat was cooked to perfection. My husband and I agree best sandwich we've had in a very long time. We will be back to try the rest of the line up.

Honesty such a great sandwich place. The service was friendly and quick, the food tasted great. Prices are on par with other sandwich shops. The white collar was awesome

I had the single greatest sandwich of my 125 years at Tony & Pete’s! Turkey pesto. My goodness. It tasted like Scarlett Johansson woke you up with a husky version of Let’s Fall in Love, like your kids got an A in calculus, like your dog could talk and called you “buddy” when you came home from work, where your CEO said, “Screw profit! Let’s just do what is right!” My salad, covered in a web of cheese so delicate I suddenly could dance ballet, was also a revelation: vegetables are good! I came from Dallas to eat here (incidentally, also to see people who call me “father) and will be back, not just to escape Texas. Tony, Pete, you are saints. May the gods bless you!

Love love love!! Sandwiches were AMAZING and so fresh, definitely worth the drive to try them. Such kind and friendly workers, too!

Drove about 45 minutes to come check out Tony & Pete's after seeing a recommendation online. Neat shop with a cool retro but modern feel to it. Was surprised at the different products they have for sale besides just sandwiches. Overall - cool spot, good food. Nothing mind-blowing but still good tasting food and much better than any chain deli store. Not sure I'll make the drive back anytime soon but glad I visited when I did.

You will wait to order. You will wait for your food. You probably won't have a seat. IT WILL BE WORTH IT. Wow. I got the combo with the Spicy Salami and pimento cheese and crackers and husband got the Deliver Boy. All of it incredibly delicious and fresh.

Best sandwiches I've had so far in Dayton. My wife had the Italian beef with the jus (chef's kiss) and I had the Gabagool. Bread is fresh, cold cuts are classy, and the giardiniera heats up the whole experience. Unrelated to the food, they've got great bar stool seating by the street window that's perfect for people watching in Downtown Dayton while you eat.

This Sandwich shop has it all. Excellent service! Incredibly good tasting fresh made sandwiches. Eat here once... And you will definitely find a reason to come back to downtown Dayton again just for the incredible sandwiches they offer many choices. You will be glad you discovered this great sandwich shop!!!

Wow! Tony & Pete's is an amazing local sandwich shop in the Fire Blocks district in downtown Dayton, friendly service lots of creatively named & crafted sandwiches. Plus homemade soup & variety of sides, chips, local sodas, Jeni's ice cream & even craft beer to wash down their sandwiches. I enjoyed the turkey pesto a few weeks ago & today enjoyed the Thanksgiving Sandwich special, which is truly one of the best turkey sandwiches I've ever enjoyed! The local turkey, arugula-so fresh& flavorful, white sharp cheddar, cranberry & then the star of the sandwich is the lemon Dijon gravy served warm for you to dip your sandwich incredible! Run to Tony & Pete's now for this limited time creation!

We popped in here to grab some dinner on our way home and loved the decor of the space. Food was also wonderful with a large selection of cold / hot sandwiches and sides to choose from.

SIX MONTHS LATER...and we're STILL talking about this place! If we're anywhere even remotely near the Dayton area again, we'll be stopping in here!

My BFF and I drove up from Cincinnati because we had heard good things about Tony & Pete's and wow! We were not disappointed!!! We split a White Collar and it was amazing!!!! We were there right at 11:00 when they opened and there was a line the entire time we were eating!!!! The wait staff was great! Service was awesome and the food came out very quickly!!! I can't wait to come back into Dayton to eat another big sandwich!!!!!

This place is a standout for several reasons: the amazing food, the unique interior, and the well-curated grocery and wine sections. First and foremost, the food is incredible. I had the vegan cold cut, which was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was a French-style sub roll with just enough chew. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the acids, fats, and the earthiness of the marinated tofu coming together beautifully. The interior is clean and has a cool retro look while still feeling contemporary. They have an interesting selection of grocery items and a well-curated wine section. Although I didn't buy anything, it was clear that a lot of thought went into their selection. The only downside is the seating arrangement, which could be improved. It felt a bit off and could be more comfortable. Overall, if you're around Dayton, this spot is definitely worth checking out for its fantastic food and unique atmosphere.

Don't let the name fool you! This place is so much better than cold cuts! We have heard good things about Tony & Pete's for a while now and are so happy we finally got there! First of all, the place is so cute! Out front there is a seating area with flower boxes and bright red umbrella topped tables. Inside is bright and cheery, with some specialty grocery products lining the walls and a small amount of seating. My guess is most people order to go. I told the employee it was our first time and asked what she suggested and she immediately suggested one of the namesakes, the Tony or the Pete. I ordered the Tony and my husband ordered another sandwich, then she told us we could have a seat and they'd bring the sandwiches to us. A few minutes later, she arrived with two wrapped sandwiches; I knew they were going to be good just from the heft of mine. I am not usually a huge fan of deli sandwiches but this was an exception! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Best of all, I could only eat half of it, so I have lunch for tomorrow! We will absolutely be back!

Very cool place! I like the variety of speciality items, you can make a great picnic out of these fixings. We had deli sandwiches; I had the Gabagool sandwich was spicy and tasty. I washed it down with Jarrett's lime soda. My partner had the Tony sandwich. Very tasty the addition roasted red peppers made the sandwich. She had a Warped wing Rootbeer with a giant cube. Definitely check them out if you are downtown

This deli is adorable, I love the atmosphere! The employees are always very friendly and take pride in their food. The sandwiches are made with the freshest ingredients and it shows. The pimento cheese dip is outta this world and the spicy pasta salad is sooooo good!! I'd try everything on the menu, can't go wrong here!

An awesome vegan sandwich. I throughly enjoyed it. I prefer to eat always meat and prejudiced about a vegan sandwich. Boy I was wrong. The sandwich was a good size and had a punch to it. The staff were super friendly. Highly recommend the place in Dayton. A tad bit expensive though $15 for a sandwich. A great ambiance and they have outdoor seating.

This place was awesome! Nice spot right downtown. Love the tofu and vegan options. The chickpea salad was super yummy. Can't wait to go back.

What a charming little place! The service was fast and friendly. The store had all kinds of goodies to buy. The sandwiches were freshly made and delicious. Bonus points for having multiple vegetarian options for my friend who was with me. Both of us loved our sandwiches! We both wish we had a location in Cincinnati since we were just visiting from there.

I finally was able to try Tony & Pete's yesterday and was blown away! Awesome sandwich!! I had the Gabagool to go and it absolutely didn't disappoint. Everything about my sandwich was perfect. It was spicy but I love spice and the heat was well balanced. Their website says that they set out to make an old school neighborhood sandwich shop and that is exactly the ambiance and feel. I completely recommend Tony & Pete's!! And, I can't wait to return! (Sorry I normally take pictures but it was so good that I dove right in and forgot!).

Amazing sandwiches, service was fast and friendly. Vibe was smooth. We will be back next time in Dayton!

stopped in today for the first time and grabbed a "Pete" sandwich. I'm kind of a cold sandwich hater and this may have changed me. it was so good. I'll definitely be back!

Absolutely spectacular sandwiches. Everything is good. Everything is good. There's just no other way just no other way I can say it better. The bread, meats, cheeses, combinations, oh my goodness they're all so good. Perfect is a tough word for me. You shouldn't put pressure on yourself to be perfect all the time. But Pete and Tony's might just be perfect. I love this place. Clean shop and excellent service. I love you Tony and Pete.

T&P's is a staple for me when I'm downtown Dayton. The flavors are always on par for the sandwich creations. Pasta salad is amazing too - a bit of a kick but count me in. They do offer online and I believe some delivery options as well. Get the Z93 or the Turkey Pesto 1/2 with the pasta salad. You'll love it!!

Tony & Pete's has quickly became a favorite downtown treat. Super friendly staff, always clean, delicious deli meats, and many other options for food, groceries, etc. I get the Spicy Salami hoagie and it has been consistently fantastic. Pricing is a bit on the higher-side given drinks and sides are not included, but the hoagies are better than anywhere else that I have found in the area.

Incredible place - absolutely the best sandwiches in Dayton. Always clean, fast service, friendly and inviting... But honestly even if all that wasn't up to par, the sandwiches alone earn this place 5 stars. I thought I was spoiled on the east coast when it came to fresh bread, quality imported cold cuts, and house made accoutrement, but Tony and Pete's puts em to shame! They even have an obviously curated selection of grocery items and alcohol. I'll be trying the pepperoncini martini next time I stop in ;)

Tremendous hoagie place in downtown Dayton! I had the Tony, and it was amazing. Fresh hoagie bun (real, not fast-food), excellent meat and tasty cheese, relish, with the vinegar and oil on it. Solidly good, large enough for a good meal, and I ate every bite. Bag of chips and a real (Mexican) coca-cola and there it is. Counter service could not have been better! I will be back - Dayton is growing some foodie-ness for sure.

A real gem in Downtown Dayton!! Can't remember the last time I felt so welcome and appreciated in any business! My sandwich was really great (Turkey & Pesto) awesome caramelized onion dip, fun friendly staff and great tunes to dance to! Highly recommended!!!

This place is awesome! For any long time Daytonians, I was reminded of the original Milanos from back in the day. Great sandwich! There is plenty of on street parking. I had no trouble parking at all. It's a very cool space. You walk through a cool little grocery area as you head to the back counter to order your food. I was surprised at the selection of groceries they have for such a small space. Downtown needed this place! Currently they have 8 options for sandwiches, two of them being vegetarian/ vegan. They have a couple of salads to choose from, chips, and some sides. Plenty of drink options including beer and wine. I got what they call the Trio. It's salami, capicola, and bologna topped with provolone, shredded lettuce, tomato, roasted red peppers, and a vinaigrette. WOW! This thing was a HOG! If you are an absolute animal, you can get extra meat and cheese for an up charge. I ordered it spicy which added Calabrian chili oil and giardiniera. I was AMAZING!! Great bread with quality ingredients. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I will definitely frequent this place!

Service was great. And the sandwiches were amazing. I got the classic ham sandwich with salami and it was delicious. My boyfriend got the Italian beef. Also delicious. We found our new favorite sandwich shop for sure!

Coolest shop downtown dayton, I found the shop through their instagram and had to come check it out and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is 10/10 and the grocery selection is 10/10. Sam at the register was so friendly and nice when helping me pick a sandwich. definitely get some cold cut sammies here!

I've been dying to go to Tony and Pete's to try their sandwiches. I've been following their social media for a while and all their menu items look so good. I finally went and it lived up to the hype in my head. It's a very cute interior! I picked the spicy salami sandwich! It was the perfect pairing of hot and sweet- with the honey. Can't wait to go back and try a hot sandwich next! I like that they deliver and I will be offering T&P as a suggestion for work lunches

Awesome sandwiches! The mortadella was fire and pictured is stretto's spicy salami which has a little heat but sweet with the honey

I don't know what kind of magic they sprinkle onto their sandwiches, but this was absolutely delicious and craveable. I got the Afterschool Special. A turkey sandwich really has no business being this amazing, but it was. The sandwich is big enough really for two servings unless you're super hungry. I will definitely be back! Yum!

Stopped in today for lunch with my kids. The cashier was friendly, attentive, and helpful. You could tell this is popular with the local crowd. I ordered the Pete. It was very tasty. My kids split the ham sandwich. That was the true winner with country ham, pimento cheese, bread and butter pickles, lettuce. It is making my mouth water just typing. The sandwiches are a bit pricey (but what isn't these days?!) but totally worth it! They are filling and did I say delicious! They have two booths, two bars (one by the register and one by the door), and some outdoor seating. My kids asked me if we would come back, I emphatically said "yes!"

I want to give them more, but It's three stars for me. Yes, it's a great addition to downtown. Yes, the sandwiches are really good and unique. Yes, it's much-needed grocery-relief in downtown. And a beautiful interior throwback vibe, which I dig. However, there's A LOT of sandwich deli's downtown, both local and chains. This place sits squarely on this growing list of $15 to $20+ lunch spots in downtown. It's not feasible for a Monday-to-Friday downtown worker to spend that much at lunch, at least not on a regular basis. I work downtown and would love to hit this place up every week how I do Jimmy John's. Groceries are pricy and somewhat up-market brands. I'd like to see less gift cards and store merch and add more groceries. I look forward to trying more of the menu. But... it's a $15 sandwich the size of a loaf of bread. Throw in a $5 bottled beverage or beer, add tax, and you're at $22+... for lunch. This establishment needs to desperately add half-sizes at half the price. Then, we start to approach something reasonable on the price point. Which makes for more regular customers. I'm annoyed at this up-sell strategy that these restaurants have where you are forced to pay a lot but get large portions. I know they need to make money and turn a profit, but you have to give the customer what they want, and they'll return. We want affordable smaller servings. Perhaps cut the price and sandwich in half, but then add some profit to the cost and your profit ratio goes up. Sales will follow. I love Dayton, love local restaurants, love the local vibes here, but the alignment of this is a bit off to me. Hopefully they prove me wrong. Will surely return, just not regularly.

Such a good sandwich shop! We got a meat based sub and vegan one plus their pimento cheese dip. We'll be back to try their hot sandwiches!

I've had lunch here a handful of times and each time has been distinctive, delightful, and delicious! The staff are always friendly, the grocery section is well stocked, and the sandwiches are a work of art. I opt for the vegan cold cut (thin slices of tofu)made spicy, a bag of chips, and a beer from Yellow Springs brewery. All 10 out of 10! I just found out that they have pimento cheese so... I'll be back sometime soon! Keep doing what your doing!

Great place right downtown. Pimento cheese is excellent! Split the Tony sandwich with my husband and it was delicious. I'm stuffed! Glad to know they are open on Sundays as we attend church at Westminster Dayton and always looking for a lunch spot afterwards. Good to know!

I was disappointed when I ordered lunch to go and received the wrong order. Unfortunately I didn't know it was the wrong order until o got back to work. What an inconvenience. The sandwich was soggy. I won't be back for while.

Tried this spot for the first time last week and was hands down the best cold cut I've had here in dayton! Great customer service & I loved the vibes.

Ordered the Tony sandwich and it was SOLID. Everything was stacked perfectly into the perfect sandwich. I switched out the American cheese with provolone. The worker told me they only have American cheese and provolone. There are some tables inside and some seating outside. They also sell a bunch of local products inside the store. This is a great lunch spot.

Solid sandwich. Great Vibe. Team is always smiling. Walkable spot if you live/work downtown. Only negative is I don't get there more often.

Loved this cute as heck little deli!! If I lived in Dayton, Ohio this would definitely be one of my favorite spots

Just went here for the first time after hearing they had a vegan option and I LOVED it! I was pleasantly surprised at both how tasty it was and how big the sandwich was. The marinated tofu + fresh veggies + gardiniera and vinaigrette is a slam dunk flavor combo.

The food is great. Everyone is friendly. You can grab a beer while you wait. There's even a little, very small, grocery store inside. I highly recommend trying the Trio.

As a vegan I love this place! The vegan cold cut is good but a little spicy. The west coast veg without provolone is my go-to. I love coming to this place mainly because of the atmosphere. The bar stools in front of the window make it nice to watch the buzz outside and it's cool seeing people shopping for their groceries. The wallpaper in both bathrooms make it fun to go and the old-school design of the whole place just makes it an enjoyable place to be. Not to mention how kind and welcoming the owners are. The list goes on!

Love a local sandwich shop! Need to check out their patio and drink menu! They have a wonderful atmosphere

This is my new favorite lunch spot in Dayton. It usually doesn't take too long to get your order and you can check out the grocery offerings. I like the fresh fruit and unique meat and cheeses. The spicy salami sandwich is to die for with the spicy spread and honey!! The sandwich sizes are great here - just enough to really fill you up. The daily soups are not to be missed. I haven't had a beer or cocktail here yet but it seems like a great spot for a drink after work and wouldn't be too loud. I wish the seating was more conducive to a working lunch but it's really not meant for that. They recently joined DoorDash but the prices are so much higher on the delivery service. It's better to go in person anyway and grab a few groceries at the same time. I wish they would add white milk to their grocery essentials. If you go between 3-5 pm you can get double punches on the loyalty sandwich card. Good deal! Some of prices are a bit silly - like $10 for one cupcake.

Was in town for business and decided to check out this new restaurant in downtown Dayton. Ordered up an After School Special and grabbed a bag of chips and a Root Beer from Warped Wing. I found this place bright, airy, and very affordable. Very interesting they have split the space by adding a mini market in front with the sandwich shop in the back. This is one of the things I enjoyed the most when visiting New York is all the bodegas on the corners,this is something that Dayton desperately needs. If you get a chance, stop in and check it out. They have carry out and indoor/ outdoor dining. Highly recommended.

My wife and I went to this establishment because of a recommendation. The sandwich that we ordered was served on dry bread and the meat and filling was pretty much just in the middle of the bread. The ends of the bread had almost nothing so we just threw those portions away. I ordered an IPA beer and it have a head and some bubbles but tasted flat not sure if it was an old keg or maybe the lines are not cleaned regularly not very appealing. The experience was very disappointing.

Great menu (go with the Spicy Salami) and staff. Nice atmosphere. Service very friendly.

We were so impressed with Tony & Petes sandwiches, definitely the best we've had in Dayton. We split the White Collar and the Tony (both we made spicy) and they were incredible! We will definitely be back!

I have had the "Pete" and the White Collar" sandwiches and love them both. Fun and unique grocery items. Love this place!
