Indulgent EatsJune 13, 2016Split one of their stellar Italian sandwiches and enjoy it in City Hall park for the power summer lunch with a friend. Try the namesake Pisillo with porchetta, prosciutto & buffala mozzarella.
Consistently delicious.Definitely try to split one.My fav is the Napoli. Best panini place downtown if not in the city, hot peppers-amazing, too strong however, so getting then on the side is advised
Pedro Piñera BuendiaFebruary 4, 2018This food is at a different level. The ingredients, the combination and the size of the sandwich is all you need for your tour around NY. The chefs are very nice and funny.
- Jenna Odett LaskinJuly 25, 2016Definitely best sandwiches in FiDi, easily split for 2 people, cash only. Authentic Italian lunch spot.
Cristina SánchezOctober 16, 2016The Pisillo sandwich is perfect, I highly recommend it. Then we ordered the number 18, Catanzaro. I'm used to eating spicy, but this sandwich was so spicy that the flavor was completely ruined.- john scottAugust 21, 2015THE BEST SANDWICH-PANINO IN NEW YORK...Amazing sandwich-panino,all the fresh stuff is SUPER FRESH,and all the aged stuff comes direct from italy.The sandwich-panino delicious and HUGEEE.I LOVE PISILLO

Avin NarasimhanAugust 28, 2016Sandwiches are absolutely massive. Could make at least 2 meals out of one sub. Meats are high quality, everything is fresh. Not sure how people eat this for lunch on workday.
Michael FernandezJune 3, 2018I heard lots of positive things about Pisillo's but never anything about the $. Because although it's a little on the expensive side it's absolutely worth it.

One sandwich could easily make for 3 meals. Amazing prosciutto and bread. It is super Italian
Can’t say enough good times about this place. Huge sandwiches that are delish! I always recommend it
John PavlickAugust 12, 2016Great ingredients and a ton of food for not very much money. A sandwich can easily feed two, maybe three, people
This is only half my sandwich. It's not a panini, it's a gigantic 2-pound hero with panini ingredients: smoked mozz, prosciutto, red peppers
Chris NatoliNovember 7, 2015Awesome Italian sandwiches. Several vegetarian options. And the sandwiches are huge so they're actually pretty cheap since they're big enough for two meals
Amulanga ChinkushovaDecember 27, 2018Super delicious sandwiches, very generous portions so be sure to split it with someone- Joey LacusJuly 2, 2019Absolutely fantastic sandwiches. Great prices. As good as an Italian panini can get. A hidden gem.

Jeff PetrielloFebruary 10, 2017The vegetarian options are extremely simple, but don't worry...they're delicious.- Juan BuisMarch 8, 2016One of the best sandwiches I've had in NYC. These things are enormous and easily shareable for two people.
- Helly SolomonDecember 17, 2021This location was excellent. The sandwiches are huge. My mother and I each got a sandwich when we arrived. Because they are so large, I should have simply ordered one. They're full of flavour.

Cash only; each sandwich could easily be two meals, if not three.
- Absolutely the best Italian sandwiches in the area! Everybody loves them. The only minor inconvenience is that this place is cash only.
