The Take
Order the Italian hoagie with oil and vinegar, hot peppers, no mayo at Primo Hoagies. Slop Score: 52.
The chain's local roots deliver consistent fresh-baked seeded rolls and generous fillings that beat national chains, yet default soybean oil dressings and standard processed meats drag it down. Suburban lunch seekers buy the Philly-style signal while ignoring the industrial shortcuts.
The Verdict
The fresh rolls salvage an otherwise standard processed deli experience. Ask for extra meat or double cheese on the Italian and stick to oil and vinegar.
Buy the Italian hoagie customized. Slop Score: 52.
