Best Places for Sandwiches in Tri-State Area

If you're looking for the best places to grab sandwiches in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, you're in luck. The editors of the foodie website LoveFood have tasted their way across the United States, discovering the best sandwiches in every state of the nation. Here's where they recommend going for sandwiches in our region:

When you head to Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in Wilmington, you'll discover a delightful sandwich called The Bobbie. Founded in Wilmington's Little Italy in 1976, Capriotti's has been a coveted place for sandwiches across the decades.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about Capriotti's signature sandwich, The Bobbie: 

"Named after the founder's aunt, it's essentially Thanksgiving in a sandwich, with pulled turkey, cranberry sauce, house-made stuffing, and a smear of mayo on a freshly baked roll. The best thing? It's available year-round."

New Jersey is famous for its Taylor ham sandwiches, and there's one New Jersey institution that's inextricably linked with this famous sandwich. Chatham institution Pascarella Brothers is frequently named the top spot for a Taylor ham sandwich.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about Pascarella Brothers:

"Fans praise the enormous size and quality of the sandwich, which features layers of crispy fried Taylor ham, gooey egg, and melty American cheese, all stuffed inside a fresh hard roll."

LoveFood also gave a bonus sandwich designation for New Jersey, naming Atlantic City's White House Sub Shop as another sought-after sandwich destination. Here, guests can order the White House Special, "an epic two-foot-long sub stuffed with deli meats such as salami and capocollo, provolone cheese, tomatoes, and onions, finished with an oil and chopped pepper dressing. If you're daunted by the size, don't worry. It's available in a half portion, too," LoveFood's editors note.

What would Pennsylvania be without its cheesesteaks? At Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia, customers can find unmatched cheesesteaks. Here, you can bite into a Philadelphia signature crusty roll, filled with beef steak slices, fried onions, green peppers, and provolone or Cheez Whiz.
