| - They make everything to order and the ingredients are fresh, but I don't know if the food was sitting out for a while or if they don't cook it piping-hot, because most of the meal came out lukewarm. The Italian beef with provolone was just ok, nothing special - maybe a tad better than the version served at Portillo's. The Centurion calzone was tasty - I liked the mix of ingredients (mozzarella, roasted peppers, Kalamata olives, sopressata, basil, and tomato), but again, I wish that it came out a little hotter, with the cheese a little more melted. The calzone is pretty large, and the leftovers tasted better heated up the next day.
There are about 15 or so tables that fit 2-3 people each, and a line quickly forms during peak lunch hours. It's hard for groups bigger than 3 people to really sit together, because most of the tables are small and seat only two. You're also basically sitting and eating among grocery shelves.
I'd say that the marinara sauce was the best component of the meal, even though it (along with the sausages) also came out lukewarm. But overall the food was not memorable or worth the drive. And since I can buy San Marzano tomatoes at more and more places now, I don't think I will be coming back here.
