Really the best sandwich shop in Williamsburg. Heroes on fresh bread, overstuffed with top notch ingredients that will feed you for two meals. Ask the counter boys for suggestions, too.
The Godfather and Willie's sandwiches (get 'em spicy!) are simply phenomenal. If you're looking for something a little lighter, the salads are pretty good too.
JeffreyOctober 4, 2013Godfather - a hulking semolina roll filled with traditional Italian meats, their homemade roasted peppers, Parm, provolone, and either spicy or sweet vinegar peppers.
Halstead PropertyOctober 8, 2013They certainly call this sandwich Godfather for a reason. Pungent spice is captured at once from the combination of quality meats topped with homemade peppers and fresh provolone.
Ben K.August 7, 2014Solid Italian sandwich joint in a neighborhood that is sorely lacking them. Get the Godfather or Willie spicy.
Tyler HawksAugust 31, 2014These guys do it right, I get the spicy godfather but it's really like shooting fish in a barrel here. As far as good options go.
The godfather is the Italian god of sandwiches. And I love Italian sandwiches. Spicy peppers are good, not very spicy.
David BanJune 11, 2014From their classic Italian sandwiches to their super helpful butcher, this place clearly has pride in what they do. God bless.
Delicious sandwiches, authentic Italian food but not as good as Tino's on Arthur Ave in the Bronx. It's a very close second though
Vegetarians need not fear--there's something for everyone here! Best sandwiches in east williamsburg; bar none
Great sandwiches, wish they were open a bit later so I could get them after work!
Famous for the Godfather and Willie Special (for good reason) give the Spicy Buffalo Chicken a chance. You won't be disappointed.
Jbo 🙆🏻♀️March 1, 2014Sandwiches are so fresh and delicious. Also, a plus: they have sweet leaf iced tea :)
Chloe BrownsteinMay 13, 2011Holy cats, this place has the best subs ever made. Worth the trip from Manhattan, or getting out of bed for on a Sunday. Ask for yours "dressed," trust me!- Don't sleep on the breakfast sandwiches. Sharp provolone, egg, and broccoli rabe on a soft semolina roll? Hell yes.
Willie special is still amazing. They hooked me up with the import!
Ask Jerry to guess the weight of your meats, he'll nail it down to one hundredth of a pound, it's impressive.
Old Williamsburg Italian hold out with great Italian sandwiches...possibly has mob ties.
Melissa SorcicAugust 26, 2013Best sandwiches anyone has or ever will eat. This is a fact. Don't fight it.
ScanwichesAugust 5, 2011Homemade Roast Beef, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Spicy Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Garlic Powder and Pepper, Mayo, on an italian hero. Read more
Worth it to call your sandwich order ahead during peak times (which is almost always).
Katy MDecember 4, 2011$8/lb sandwich mea, $3.99/lb prepared lasagna and unreal $8 heros that feed two lunch. Go!
Rev CiancioApril 12, 2012BEST Italian sandwich I've ever had in NYC! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Chicken cutlet sandwich. Extra spicy. Best I've ever had.
Christine LiangJune 15, 2011Listen to the people. Get the Willie or the Godfather and you'll be a happy camper.
Just start at the top of the list if sandwich list and work your way down
I'm in love with pretty much every man that works here. So friendly.
Kev SkinnyJuly 12, 2013If your trying to get it in with a cold cut hero this place is the absolute tits.
Kodi McKinneyMarch 21, 2011Godfather or Willie's Special, get them spicy. As good as you've heard it is, maybe better.
Aerik VonFebruary 24, 2010Brilliant. Get the smoked cheese and meatballs you'll ever have. Two thumbs up.
Mike LeottaOctober 17, 2010Willie's Special. Spicy. Intense but I just defeated it. Nice try, Willie.

"Perfect neighborhood butcher. They have anything you could want. Prices are high and the wait is usually long but worth it."
