If I could give this place ten stars I would in a heart beat.
I truly can't decide what I adore more, the amazing sandwiches, or the warm, friendly family that runs the joint?
Today I took two co-workers to lunch, and when we arrived, we were greeted so warmly and sincerely, it was like we were family. This is not to be confused with forced corporate niceness that you see at Safeway- this is the real deal.
It gets better. One of my friends didn't think he was hungry, so I ordered a sub, and my other buddy ordered a cheese steak. The employee took or order and invited us to grab a seat.
A short while later, the sweet woman said, "Hey boys- come and get it." When my other friend saw how good the food was, I ordered him a sandwich, and when I went to pay, the woman told me that since it was almost 2:00pm, the sandwich would be free, as they have a buy two, get one after two. I think it was like 1:45, and I thought that was SO cool. Where else does that happen? Let me help you with the answer- nowhere! You and I both know there are places that won't give you a deal if you are ONE MINUTE early, let alone really early.
On to the food, the sub I got, the Italian cold cut combo, was amazing. Fresh EVERYTHING, great bread, etc. It was simple, delicious and clearly made with pride.
In closing, this place is just a gem, seriously. They are getting ready to celebrate 34 years, and my only regret is just now finding them.
Give Casella's a shot, you will not be disappointed. If you like great food, warm people, and interdependent businesses- this is your place!
Two quick tips:
1. Like many small businesses, they take cash only
2. They are located on the SE corner of Granite Reef and McDonald. Enter from Granite Reef, they are on the South end of the complex.
