| - It's called Rocco's NY Pizzeria! Well, I think that is not such a good name for this spot. I ordered the Italian sub. Now here's where you really will need to pay attention. The cashier R2 took my order. Not sure if each person had his or her own pass code or number when they used the register. Back to my order of the Italian sub. Server asked what I wanted on it, my reply exactly: lettuce, tomato, onion, oregano, oil, and peppers on the side. The server looked at me and said "oil?" We don't have just oil, it's pre-mixed with other ingredients. Ok, now I'm stunned a little. This is supposed to be an Italian restaurant, right? What Italian restaurant doesn't have Olive Oil?! What the??! He than asked me what kind of peppers? My reply, was hot wet peppers. His reply, we don't have them. At this point I was really tempted to run outside to look at the name of the restaurant displayed on the window, just to make sure I was in the right place. Maybe I had walked into the place next door by mistake. I am still really confused, disappointed and really hungry, so I decided to, shake it off and go with my gut and give it a shot.
Now a female customer comes in, she ordered over the phone. The server had plenty to say to her and told her to enjoy her pizza and her sub. Welllllllll, he called my name, handed me a stapled!!!!! bag. So I looked and wondered why they would staple it closed. And that's all I got. Not "have a good night", "enjoy your fake NY Italian sub"...NOTHING! There isn't a sub house or place that sells sandwiches on the East Coast that would have given me the responses I got from this server. They would not have questioned my asking for oil...or peppers on the side.
Once I got home, opened fort knox and saw that my oregano was in a container and not on my dry Italian sub! That really was it for me. I won't be back! I am now on the hunt for a real Italian sub shop that can make me a sandwich that reminds me of home, and when I ask for oil instead of mayo, they will say "sure".
