| - I've been anxiously awaiting for Capriotti's to open up on Mill for about a month now since I saw the "Coming Soon" signs plastered on the bottom floor of the Chase Bank building on the corner of University and Mill. Working in the predominantly college town of Tempe, AZ, I'm always looking for new and exciting lunch options as I've found my surroundings to grow a bit stale.
Capriotti's could be that new exciting spot but it also might not.
Pros:
Monster size subs (a small sub is 9".) Like seriously, find someone with similar tastes to you and split one, you'll be fine, I promise.
Fresh tasty bread
Nice array of toppings and extras (unlike Jimmy John's down the street where you can have it their way or you can F off)
Fairly quick
Cons:
No onsite parking
$7 for a "Small" turkey sandwich is a little steep
Turkey is mixed white and dark meat???
The last Con is definitely the one that will determine whether or not Capriotti's is the game changer I've been waiting for ever since my beloved Rinaldi's Deli fell victim to the Lightrail construction off of Mill & 3rd St. I don't like dark meat, I won't do dark meat, and until you find a way to separate that ish out, I can't partake in an otherwise quite tasty turkey sandwich. Charge me extra for all white meat, I don't care, I'll deal with it. I've never had dark meat turkey at a deli before today and I don't plan on repeating it.
I would be willing to go back and try a few of their other options like the meatball sub which looked pretty decent, but a deli that can't master the simple but oh so delicious turkey sandwich is going to be hard for me to love and appreciate in the long haul.
