| - Capriotti's deserves special accolades for offering three very legitimate vegetarian options. I am not talking about a salad on a loaf. No, they offer much more than that. They have fake meat! To be specific, you can get a vegetarian turkey, cheesesteak or hamburger. I find this astounding and convenient especially here in Las Vegas where the closest thing to vegetarian is often cranberry and vodka. Blech.
Ran into my neighborhood Capriotti's today to grab a sandwich. For a chain, they are really lacking in a cohesive design. Pretty much every Capriotti's I have visited looks terrible. My neighborhood location has several glass-enclosed bulletin boards, and while waiting for my sandwich, I was noticing that every one had a section of USA today tacked up. I am sure there is an explanation for this, but as a casual observer it seemed random.
Service was quick and friendly. I walked out with a 12-inch vegetarian turkey sub with everything except cheese and mayo. Capriotti's loses some sub-cred by not offering a selection of breads and for closing at like 7pm on the weekdays in my hood. However, they do white, soft bread rather well, and they regain some cred by having really flavorful peppers. I think the peppers make the sandwich. The fake meat must be decent because my taste buds had no complaints. Then again, perhaps they were distracted by the peppers. Either way, Capriotti's is fine by me, and I think they are quite a find for a vegetarian in need of a quick meal.
