Everyone has a different reason to love PennMac. Mine is the fresh pasta: you can choose from a variety of flavors, and it's all awesome. The cheeses and meats are also excellent (although, like at most delis, the high-end meats are hit-or-miss because they don't turn over very quickly), and their selection of hot sauces is one of the best in the city. I'm giving PennMac four stars instead of five because their gruff service can sometimes be intimidating and off-putting.
