Tony's Italian Deli & Subs

The Best Italian Subs In Chicago, Ranked

"Much like Bari’s bread, the bread at Tony’s does a lot of the heavy lifting. It’s filled with air pockets and has a nice chew, but also has just enough of a crust to maintain structural integrity without sandpapering the roof of your mouth. And while the meat-and-cheese strata taste richer and milder than other subs—which we’re guessing is because of the mortadella and mozzarella in addition to slices of capicollo and salami—there’s considerably less nuance in the overall flavor. Head to this Edison Park deli when you want your meat sandwich to taste like meat." - adrian kane, nick allen, john ringor, veda kilaru

Tony's Italian Deli & Subs - Review - Edison Park - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This family-owned Edison Park shop is a neighborhood institution, selling everything from prepared foods like casual red sauce dishes and frozen pizzas to housemade cannoli. That said, this is a classic Italian deli, which means they have every kind of high-quality meat you could imagine (and plenty of imported goods), and also some of the city’s best subs. The stacked menu is full of great sandwiches, like a classic Italian or a muffuletta—you can’t make a wrong choice here." - Veda Kilaru
