Sandwich Wars: The Deli is the Superpower

I moved out of northern NJ in 1986. and have been looking for a decent bagel, slice of pizza and sub ever since. After decades of searching I found 'The Deli'. They actually call themselves the Deli and are located in several locations including DC, Fairfax, Herndon and Lansdowne VA. Here at The Deli you will find a sub worthy of any Italian American deli of NJ, NY or PA.

My favorite location is 19350 Diamond Lake Dr at Lansdowne Va. The owner is very friendly and generous. His shop is the SuperPower of Subs. You may call it a hoagie, submarine, hero, grinder, blimp, zeppelin, torpedo or a variety of other regionally derived names. But whatever you call it the best of the best is found at The Deli in of all places, Northern Va.

The sandwich pictured below is called the Madd Italian. It is packed with Mortadella, Salami, Pepperoni, Capicollo and Provolone. Topped with a delicious blend of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, sweet peppers oil, vinegar and Italian spices. 

You no longer need to go to NJ, NY or Philly for a true Italian Sub. The Deli will satisfy those who know what a sub is supposed to taste like. Not only can the Deli compete with the deli's of NJ, NY and PA, I am willing to bet many 'yankees' would admit The Deli is superior to many of their favorite northern deli's.

The 8 inch Madd Italian costs 9.95.  I rate it a 10.  Find 'The Deli' location near you and discover an authentic Italian American Sub.

Now that we found the sub we need to locate some bagels and pizza here in Northern Virginia.
