OK... While I do agree with some previous posters that Calabria is WAY better than any fast food options (and yes, Subway is fast food, people), I find a lot to be lacking at Calabria.
Located in the awesome Historic Gold Spot, I really wanted Calabria to have the charm of an Italian deli one would find in Northern New Jersey. But, alas... It has all the charm of yet another strip mall store you find everywhere in Phoenix.
Yes, they do have what seem to be fresh meats and cheeses, but the sandwiches are in my opinion lackluster. I once tried one of their arancini and found it to be very similar to hush puppies like I grew up with. Fried within an inch of its life and not very tasty.
Having said that, their lasagna is tolerable.
To me, the problem with Calabria is the value for what you're paying. It's like a $10 lunch that's more of a $5 value.
Plus, I hate the way they've taped over their menu sign with little strips of white paper the items they no longer carry.
Tacky.
