I was traveling last week and one of the people in the office said "I haveta" try Capriotti's Sandwiches, it's a Delaware thing. Did you know I've never been to a Jimmy John's? All these Subway type places, I'm from New York! Why in the heck would I go to a chain place when there are delis on every corner? But, I am in another state so lemme see what the hubbub is all about. Capriotti's Sandwiches it seems roasts fresh Butterball Turkeys for their sandwiches. They have a Thanksgiving sandwich that I wanted to order but I said one Turkey Sandwich please. Now I'm asked 5 inch or 12 inches. What?! Your bread length sir. I'll go with small today, thanks. The sandwich comes to me, very plain Jane. Lettuce, Tomatoes and Onions . I go back to the counter, how about some Mayo? Pickles? And also, some of those spicy peppers. There ya go, get excited about my lunch. The inside, it looked like the lunch crowd came and left. It was a little messy on a few tables, I cleaned one down for myself. I do have to say I crafted a bangin sandwich. The turkey was moist, a little heavy on the onion but I think I created a new sandwich called the Bill S New York approved sandwich. The length varies read more

Best turkey subs! Great meat, rolls and all the fixings! Will come back again! Rate five thumbs up. Very good. read more

Watched a video online about the cheesesteak and I called and Ordered the 10" cheesesteak with grilled onions. So disappointing. The video shows a sandwich stuffed with meat...very different than what I received. Won't be getting our subs there again. read more

PLEASE DONT tell me Cappriotti's have changed their rolls!! Like everything else in this world, when you had a perfect sandwich(s), someone wants to change something. Their crispy on the outside rolls that you had to pull away hard on each bite, are now like a hotdog roll consistency where when, they get the least little bit wet, it just disentigrates. Why cant people just leave great food alone? Mikes famous steaks are no longer Mikes and Wood Fired Pizza is now lousy too..... PLEASE WORLD, dont try to improve stuff that can't possibly be improved. read more

In going to give this place a solid 4-star rating. The bread is fresh and the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. However, the sandwiches take forever to make. The place was basically empty and there were at least four workers. I had the "Bobbie" the signature sandwich. It's pretty good and very similar to WaWa's gobbler, but on a better bread. I'll be back. read more

Catering platter was absolutely delicious! Sandwiches filled to the brim and even extra sides! Everything was done in a timely manner, and the staff were very kind and professional. I will definitely be ordering from there in the future. read more

Capriotti's is a really good place to grab a sandwich. Their award winning sandwich, the Bobbie,is a a go to of mine. The Bobbie is Thanksgiving between two pieces of bread. Pulled Turkey is complimented with stuffing and a delicious cranberry sauce. You can't go wrong. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Bones - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Yummiest sandwiches and the nicest staff! Can't beat this place with quality. Highly highly recommend. Can't wait to go back

I hadn't eaten from Capriotti's in years. Ordered a cheesesteak through DoorDash not only was it abundant burritos also tender and juicy. Nothings changed at Capriotti's. read more

its been a month since my post and complaint about our sandwiches with bone pieces, and the unprofessional behavior by the staff when brought to their attention. The comment left in my Yelp post by an Alison M. appears to be a fake.... There's been no follow-up, the email to the gobblers email address went unanswered, and in researching that web domain, doesn't appear to be affiliated with Capriotti's. Follow-up calls to the store to speak with the manager have been useless - always told "she" is not there, and no one allows for leaving a message. Attempts at calling the corporate office in Nevada are the same. So - BUYER BEWARE! This business is not what they used to be - not even close. And does not deserve our business. read more

Only came here because Malins Deli and Country Maid Deli (both in Newark) were closed. I remembered the subs were always skimpy but we wanted fresh turkey subs and this was the last resort. Believe it or not there is fresh turkey, cheese, onions and pickles inside but like the pic, it was mostly roll. So disappointing especially at $35 for two large subs. Never again. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Fresh turkey sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, Delaware

This is the second time in a row we called in our order for 2 subs and neither one had the right ingredients. In fact, the only thing on our subs was the meat and lettuce. All else was missing. The first time I called to complain and they told me I would get a credit on my card the next day. That never happened. Very disappointed as Caprriotti's used to be our favorite local sub shop. No more!!! We will find a new favorite in Newark. read more

I didn't pay $15 for a roll !! As the photos indicate a ridiculous size roll and a below average amount of meat!! Very disappointed this is what there sandwiches have become, high priced for what you get! A $.10 cent roll for $15 read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Large Italian sub and large cheese steak very disappointing, there sandwiches have become ALL BREAD! - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Place your order online every time because sometimes they do not answer the phone. Inconvenient for someone with cash that wants to go in for pickup. Although I have no complaints about the food. read more

Excellent subs. The Bobby and the meatball sub are favourites. We always stop in when we are near any location

I rarely order but when I do I get a Bobbie. Unfortunately, it did not taste nearly as good I remember them to have been in previous years. I didn't edit anything just as it's supposed to come. The Turkey was dry and flavorless, the cranberry sauce had no zest to it, the stuffing tasted like bland mush, and overall I was underwhelmed #lunchfail the pic turned out great though, but FYI looks can be deceiving read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - The Bobbie from Cap on main - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, Delaware

This place is terrible. Walking in the door you can tell; chips not stocked, beverage refrigerators empty, staffs masks below their noses, dirty counters. Several times we have ordered and they have gotten our orders completely wrong. I am usually very understanding and take into consideration the nature of food service issues, but, Capriotti's gets it wrong more than they get it right. Do not eat here. There are better options in Newark. read more

When you pay $40 for 2 subs (1 med and 1 large) you expect them to be halfway decent. I ordered a Cole Turkey and there was less than a tablespoon of coleslaw and no Russian dressing. Come on if you are going to charge these prices, at least get the order right. read more

I got a cheesesteak from the Capriottis in Newark, De yesterday. It was by far the worst cheesesteak I ever had. It was dripping so much grease and the roll was soaked. The pickle slices were all piled up in one place. The tomato slices weren't even in the sandwich. There was hardly any cheese and the ketchup I asked for was non existent. The taste was horrible so I ended up throwing it away. The Capriotti family should be ashamed to have their name on this establishment. read more

I explained to the boy that everything needs to be on the side. I thought he understood but when we had to go over the basics on how sandwiches I feel like I might have given him too much credit. Every. Single. Time they mess up the order and did not separate the condiments-lettuce, tomatoes etc. Once again highly disappointed! read more

Very disappointed. One small Bobby and one medium cheesesteak for $23!!. The Bobby was supposed to have cranberry on the side and we didn't get it. Both subs were very dry and flavorless. Rolls are smaller and ingredients are minimal despite the price being outrageous. Will not get subs from here again. read more

One word, Bobbie! This sub shop deserves 5 stars just for this ingenious sandwich. I consider all their other subs commonplace and some what pricey but the Bobbie is one class above the others and worth the money. It's the only sub I can't buy elsewhere or replicate in my kitchen without some time and effort. This is because they use shredded roasted turkey, stuffing, and whole cranberry sauce to create a thanks giving feast in a sub. I think the price is somewhere around $14 for a whole 18" sub which is pretty pricey but if you're craving turkey dinner, it's so worth it. I also like how Capriotti's offer condiments on the side to go with your sandwich. I can't recommend anything else in particular over other sub shops but the Bobbie is a must try! read more

I've come here many a time with my folks for subs. Our favorites are the turkey sub and, of course, the bobbie. The turkey sub is pretty straightforward, consisting of shredded turkey, provolone cheese, LTO, oil/mayo, and spices on a roll. The bobbie is like Thanksgiving on a bun, consisting of shredded turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce with mayo. The bobbie is served cold, and it is a bit heavy on the stuffing and mayo, but you can probably ask for less if you'd prefer. Additional condiments such as peppers can be added to subs for no extra charge. We've generally been satisfied with the quality of the subs we've ordered from here, as well as other Capriotti's locations around town. They're fresh, and are always made right and contain a generous quantity of meat. Also, they're very filling! Since I grew up with Capriotti's, I thumb my nose at Subway (yuck!) and its ilk. I'm deducting a star because the stuffing and the cranberry sauce aren't made in house, and the stuffing can be kind of soggy and flavorless at times. However, the flavor of the turkey and the cranberries make up for it. If you're from out of town, stop by and experience a unique DE culinary treat! read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Medium bobbie sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Ordered a medium , ended up with a small. Called and complained -stated " they are testing out s new menu ... smaller roll and less meat - but for the same price - very disappointed !! Feels like I'm being scammed . You have s good product , but it seems like you don't mind shortchanging your loyal customers . Shame on you!! read more

It's Saturday night 7:55 tried to ordering a couple of hot subs they refused bc it's to close to closing? Wtf unbelievable stay away!!

Used to love - ordered double meet as the Italians have been getting skimpy - 2 slices of ham on my hoagie - must have mistaken my order to no meat - not ordering again read more

ordered a Bobbie and a cheesesteak for my husband. my husband enjoyed his cheesesteak however I had a large bone in my Bobbie that I almost swallowed. definitely ruined my meal and I am very cautious to order from here again. read more

What happened to Capriotti's? Of recent years they are not anything like they were. Rarely go there now. The last 2 times I had a bobbi. There were turkey bones in it both times. Almost broke my tooth yesterday. I thought I would try one more time. Must be a glutton for punishment. Quality and amount of food in their sandwiches has been going downhill for a few years now. No more, lost a good customer. read more

My husband and I decided to get a Bobi to take home after the movies, we could of gotten one from ELKTON since that is where we live, but since we were right there we opted to get it in Newark. The service was extremely fast and I would say so since it was just basically BREAD!!! JUST AWFUL!! Hope the one in Elkton isn't the same, but most likely it will be so I won't be going back to any of them. Biggest disappointment since they used to be amazing. read more

Tried them or tired to try them. Walked in and there was a faint smell of a sanitary back up. Things happen. Still tried. I needed take out and they told me they were out of takeout wrap and had no idea when their manager would fix the situation. Nice. Others may have better luck. read more

As a previous reviewer commented, we ran into the same problem of ordering a medium but receiving a small, but still being charged for a medium. My partner ordered the large and got his full 18" because, well, they don't have anything similar in size and so they can't sneakily jebait you with that. But the medium is supposed to be 10", my sub was 8", yet I was charged for the same price as a 10". You're ripping off your customers and it's not right. I see the manager responded to the previous customer saying they're currently "testing this out" as if that makes it better? It doesn't. Your customers should be getting exactly what they're expecting to get-if they order a 10" sub they should get a 10" sub, and if not, they should be TOLD it's going to be 8" instead. It's not right what you're doing. As far as flavor tho, the food is fantastic. I'd love to keep buying from you because the food really is that good, but I won't be giving you another dime until you stop ripping off your customers. read more

First time back at a Capriottis after several years. Gotta say the sandwiches have changed a bit with more bun and less ingredients. Sandwiches used to be a good mix of bun and meat but not this time around, which is disappointing from a loyal fan. Sadly may skip the next time I'm in town. read more

Up until this experience, I have always enjoyed the cheesesteaks from this shop in Newark. Something happened. This week, the beef was chewy, gristly and had very little flavor. I suspect this shop has started sourcing much lower quality beef to save some money. I strongly suggest going back to the top quality and just raise your price if need be. Poor quality will kill your business much quicker than higher prices in this super-inflation economy. read more

This place is so overrated. I drove off the highway for this??? Lets start with the basics. They don't make their pastrami from scratch- Strike One. Nothing is worse than highlighting your great food that someone else has made. (Ok you make your own Turkey-not to hard) As for their pastrami they take some brand of processed meat and throw it on the grill to warm it up. It is extremely salty and lacks the level of quality that the previous high reviews would imply. They use stovetop brand stuffing not real homemade-Strike Two. Their selection of drinks are all Coca-cola products or sugary crap. Why cant people sell unsweetened tea! - Strike Three. This place must be popular because it is cheaper and more convenient than making the same thing at home. People who give this 5 stars must be getting paid or have no taste buds. PS The bread was good, but they don't make it themselves so it doesn't count. read more

At first I was skeptical when I heard the Bobbie was a mixture of turkey, mayo, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Mind you, I'm not a big fan of the sweet mix with savory. When I later unwrapped the sandwich, the looks didn't win me over either. The fact that it was a cold sandwich also threw me for a loop. At that point I was slapping myself for not listening to Sarah S.'s advice about getting a Capastrami or the Cheese Steak (the shop had a dozen of accolades plastered on their wall clamoring about both subs). I mowed down the first half pretty quickly and saved the rest for the bus ride back to the city. I was unimpressed by the sub until I got on the bus for my second half. Maybe my hunger got the best of me, but for some odd reason the Bobbie tasted better than I remembered. Perhaps the ingredients and the hoagie got more time to cozy up to each other in my backpack. Boy, have I underestimated the power of Bobbie. Each bite was better than than the last. As I move from right to left, I got a bite of the salty turkey with the creamy mayo. And then the sweetness of that cranberry with stuffing rounds off the second bite (third if you have a small mouth). Before I knew it, the magical sandwich was gone leaving traces of turkey crumbs and cranberry sauce, which I took the liberty to lick off the paper wrap (don't you judge me!), and I was left craving for more or wished I ordered an 18". In this case, less is always less. If management or anyone working there sees this, please add pumpkin mash into the sub. Make a pumpkin bread, pumpkin aoli...just try to tie the last element of thanksgiving into the sub and make this a 5 star sub. read more

I hate to be the lone dissenter, but Capriotti's isn't particularly impressive. The Bobbie is overladen with mayonnaise and stuffing. The tart cranberry sauce is good, and the turkey is high quality, but you'd be loath to tell. If you don't mind potentially killing 25 minutes, the sandwiches at Primo's are better. Capriotti's does move faster, and the servers don't operate in the same stupor as they do at Primo's, but this isn't enough. When the signature product is barely edible despite good ingredients, it doesn't encourage follow-up visits. read more

This is what we call a sub place! I tried many other ones in Delaware and Capriotti's beat them all. I don't know what it is about it, it's just huge but yummy! I usually order a Cheese sub. We can always tell they're not so used to it. ("we" are vegetarian)....the only issue is that they often mess it up. Even though we clearly say a "CHEESE sub" over the phone and not a "Cheese Steak". Actually our greatest fear is to open our more than wanted sub to have a bite and discover a juicy piece of meat... Sorry some of you guys might feel it's the best thing ever but for vegetarians it just ..isn't. Except this little inconvenience that happened quite few times to us, we are still coming back. Their cheese is great, even the Swiss cheese is not that hard or tasteless, it all melts in your mouth. Their seasoning is awesome and the tomatoes are just amazing, even off season they have good veggies. read more

It seems like they have cut back on the meat they put on a sub. I would rate it 1.5 if there was an option. The bread is really good, their salads are decent, but you don't go there for the salad, you go for the hoagie!! Stick to the cheesesteaks or the bobby. The others seem like a lot of filler and its still not thick at all. Its very convenient to my office, which makes it a lot easier to justify going so often!! read more

The Capastrami was a life-changing sandwich for me. Definitely in the top three sandwich experiences of my life so far, along with banh mi at number one, and Black Sheep battleships. I don't normally get excited about sandwiches, but the reviews for Capriotti's made me curious to give it a try. I'm really glad I went! I was only in the area for a few weeks, but I made it out here three times. The first time I went, I got the Capastrami, and it was mind-blowingly good. The salty, warm pastrami was perfectly contrasted by the creamy, crunchy slaw. It was satisfying and delicious, and I ate the entire sandwich, even though I should have stopped. Too bad I have no self-control. They also sell a regional brand of potato chips there, and I got the Texas Pete flavored chips. They weren't that great with the sandwich because the flavor of the sandwich was so strong, but when I tried them later on that evening, they were amazing! The next time I went I ordered the Bobbie, but I wasn't as impressed. It seemed like the ratio of sandwich fillings was off, and it tasted too sweet from the cranberry sauce. Usually sweetness isn't off-putting for me, but I didn't enjoy this sandwich. What made it worse is knowing that I could have been eating some delicious pastrami instead! read more
