| - I dig this place. I have only ever eaten here for lunch, but I have been here a kabillion times, and I love it. The only 2 negatives are the parking and the SEMI-cash-only situation. Meaning, this place DOES take credit cards if your order is over $25!
A lot of other Yelpers have complained that the male owner is a little rude, and his wife (I think?) is the other owner, and she has always been okay. I guess I am from the east coast, so they seem totally fine to me, but I can see where AZ people think they're a little gruff. Whatever... I am not paying them to be nice-- I am paying them to cook me some awesome grub.
The best sandwich, to me, is the Italiano because it's the best prosciutto I have ever had. The texture and quality makes it melt in your mouth. Also, you can have this sandwich on focaccia (my friends usually choose this option) or the homemade Italian bread, which is my choice. It's soft and that dusting of flour just makes me all Italo-happy. It's served with uber-fresh basil as well. There is a balsamic dressing that is usally served on top, but I ask for it on the side, as I don't like my bread to get mushy. Finally, the sandwich is pretty big, so it's worth the $10. (It's gotta be $10 worth of primo prosciutto alone!)
The other key choice is the pizza. I departed from my beloved Italiano one day (but only because I had already eaten it 2 days before) and ventured toward the pizza. I am suprised to say that it's really great! The crust is perfect, and it's just the right amount of doughy.
My advice is to try it. Get there at 11:30am or 1:00pm for lunch. Carpool. Bring cash. Smell the air when you walk in. Order the pizza. Make plans to go back and try the Italiano. ;)
