Primo Hoagies

“It’s not just a hoagie, it’s a primo!”   First recommended by our born-and-raised South Philly Italian/chef friend, Mark Spena, we were confident it would live up to its name and slogan.  If the product is not enough to speak for itself, maybe you’ll be reassured by the dozens of franchises that are opening in the tri-state area. Our most local include: Quakertown, Bethlehem, Lansdale, Doylestown, and soon-to-come Allentown, since the birth 15 years ago of the original store in South Philadelphia.

This family-friendly take-out or dine-in eatery has something for everyone.  Our previously mentioned chef friend has claimed it’s the best in capturing Italian culture’s aged meats such as dry-cured capacola, prosciutto, Genoa salami, and sopressata.  The comprehensive menu will be sure to please the meat and non-meat lovers of any family. 

Primo hoagies come in four sizes: small, primo, whole, and wrap.  The menu includes low-carb and whole-wheat options.  They offer specialty hoagies, the “diablos” (which include their blend of spices), cutlet combo (my personal favorites, reminscient of our days in Staten Island, NY amidst a predominantly Italian culture), the healthy choice (lower in fat & sodium), meatless delights, and classic standards.

What makes Primo Hoagies live up to its name?  (Primo—meaning first or superior)  Each sandwich is made-to-order, customized to your preference.  They have a variety of sandwich toppings, which in my opinion, put a standard sandwich in a class all its own.  Finally, you will have the experience of a true Italian roll, with sesame seeds included.  THIS should be the standard of a good sandwich roll! 

 

Not sure what to order?  Here are my suggestions

WHACKED CHICKEN: Chicken Cutlet, Sharp Provolone Topped with Pesto & Bruschetta

CHICKEN PARMIGIANA: Chicken Cutlet with Homestyle Marinara and Melted Provolone Cheese (for a classic Italian tradition)

ITALIAN: Prosciutto, Provolone Cheese, Thumanns Hot Capacola & Natural Casing Genoa Salami
