2013 Italian Hoagie

Pastificio

Readers’ Choice: We Philadelphians should know that a good Italian hoagie should be appreciated like a fine work of art. Out tasters seriously contemplated the nuances that make a sandwich superior: capicola or presciutto? Plain or seeded bun? Oregano or vinegar? In the end, Pastificio, with tissue thin slices of four Italian meats, tangy provolone and a sprinkle of seasoning, won over the crowd.
