I racked my brain trying to think of any non-chain sub shop between East Mesa and South Scottsdale. Luckily, I remembered the Sub Factory.\n\nIf you've never been to this location before, the entrance is a bit peculiar. From University the shop is obvious with it's two-story window and neon sign. But the entrance isn't on the University side. Walk towards the tattoo shop and the door is actually under the staircase and behind you.\n\nThe menu is fairly simple, as is the atmosphere. While I was waiting for my sub, I noticed that they also have beer and happy hour specials. I don't know if people make this a regular hang-out for libations, but if I came her in the evening, I would definitely appreciate the option.\n\nThe subs are good in a way that I can appreciate being from the East Coast. The bread is flaky on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Then they bake it to give it that little extra crisp. The bread actually looked quite mangled when I got it, but the taste was awesome. I find Subway bread to be too rubbery and chewy.\n\nThe toppings are simple and tasty. Except for the tuna, but I blame that on the fact that I haven't had tuna in 20 years. I won't hold it against the Sub Factory, but I will definitely stick with the other sub options from now on."^^ . "4"^^ . . "2"^^ .
