What used to be the pride of New Castle has slipped a bit in the way of quality. Limited business hours, closed Sundays, an online ordering platform that seems to never be up and running and gummy rolls. They experienced a makeover a year ago and seem to be steering a bit away from the Italian vibe and more towards mainstream American tastes. Decently priced for the size, definitely some value there. The only real Italian sandwich on the menu, The Paisano, is only available a couple hours a day. Why is that? Everything else available is run of the mill-Turkey, ham, minced cheesesteaks etc. Their chicken cutlets are their pride and joy now, whereas the Roast Beef was also their thing before the price of it was astronomical. The display case options were once full of long hots, stuffed pepper shooters, salads etc, now seem depleted and overlooked. The market and supply chain crisis really hits home when you see business like Ioannoni's struggling. read more

My wife likes sandwiches. I don't care for the meat. The rolls and vegetables are fresh though. The last time I went there, which was months ago, I ordered three sandwiches for pickup. I get to the counter and was totally ignored by all staff. After waiting what seemed like 10 minutes, a Caucasian guy (Moe) walks in and gets greeted and given his order, as though I wasn't there first. A few minutes later, I was asked could I be helped. That was my last visit! read more

With all the amazing reviews, how could I not stop here when I'm in the area on a rare occasion. Had my heart set on a roast pork with broccoli rabe but since it was the weekend they said beef and pork aren't available. Really... in a place known for it. So I decided on an Italian sub with the works. It was huge, stuffed, juicy and delicious. The lady at the counter couldn't have been friendlier. The space is clean and a tv available to pass the short time I had to wait. Would highly recommend. I took off one star because I couldn't find on the website any reference to no beef or pork on weekends. I'll be back. read more

Would definitely recommend this place!! The Italian and Paisano subs were awesome! We ordered the smalls (9"), which will certainly be two meals for us. The fries were great too. Well worth the little detour off Rt. 13 to visit. read more

In my opinion a top 3 place for sandwiches in Delaware. I'd put their cheesesteaks up against almost anyplace in Philly. Make sure to try the roast pork with broccoli rabe read more

This place never disappoints! I have always loved everything I ever ordered. I've read the complaints and some are just nit picky and a little ridiculous. I really enjoyed the one where Sean ordered from their website expecting delivery when the screen shot he provided even had a pick up time and his address wasn't even listed... lol. He was waiting for grub hub... you have to order thru grub hub to get delivery..lol So don't let some of the reviews steer you away. Not everyone is worth their words. Come and try it out. Everyone is nice. I go in pleasant and I'm treated pleasant in return. Some customers are jerks... remember that too ; ) read more

Best Sandwiches in the area! We have friends who regularly come all the way up from Millington MD to get a sandwich here!

I read about this place before coming to New Castle for work. I'm glad I went! The roasted pork sandwich with the broccoli rabe was amazing! This was my first time trying broccoli rabe, and it was the perfect complement to the roasted pork. Great value also, my regular sized sandwich was lunch and dinner!! Service was excellent also. Called it in, and was ready when I got there. Perfect sandwich for this Southern guy in the blistering cold!! read more

I used to love this place to get chicken cutlet. That chicken breast was so tasty. He buying the cheaper brand of chicken breast. They went up on the price went down on quality. The service is not all that good. The girls spend most of their time talking. I watched the girl make my sandwich, did not like what I seen. She was touching the raw meat while she was making other sandwich. I spoke to the owner about it, and he said that is not cross-contamination because the chicken is breaded. she's picking up raw meat putting it on the grill then she go back and finish your sandwich. Touch your bread and everything. I think she should put on new gloves. I'll keep my opinion and my money in my pocketbook. I think I'll drive back up to South Philly when I need a chicken cutlet. read more

I tried the Pork Supremo, Roast Beef and Provolone, and the Giuliana. I came here after seeing this place get ranked best sandwich in Delaware by the NY Daily News. Everything was mediocre...and that's putting it nicely. I completely understand the whole philly outside of philly vibe. And a lot of other people must understand it too because they had an army of workers in here going full speed ahead. But the sandwiches...ehhh. The bread is soft and chewy and was the same as your basic hoagie roll. The roast pork and roast beef were somewhat dry, but I could tell it was homemade. The chicken cutlet was also homemade but it was so thin - we're talking like an eighth of an inch thick so it was barely tastable. What drags these sandwiches down is the massive chunks of garlic in the broccoli rabe, and the wildly strong bite from the provolone. The cheese hits you at least an inch before the sandwich goes in your mouth. So yeah, this might be the best sandwich in Delaware. But NO, this is nowhere near some of the spots in philly or elsewhere. read more

This place is one of the best in the area, it a must try for sandwiches . Order online which was much easier than the phones.

Good people. Best subs around! Regardless of price it's great food. BTW price is very reasonable compared to other. Good quality ingredients. Freshly made to order. Broccoli rabe and roasted long hots is a must. Not stringy or tough like some places. They do it right. I recommend cheesesteak supremo with Am cheese. Roast pork supremo with long hots. Fries are to die for! Always hot, crispy and flavorful. The roast pork sub is as good or better than James Beard Award winning John's Roast Pork in South Philly. So James Beard people come check it out. read more

Had to drop 2 stars due to slow service. I called 25 minutes before I arrived. Got to the shop and they hadn't even started preparing it. Took a full 48 minutes from when I called to get my sandwich. Those who ordered in line in front of me got their food at the same time or before me. It caused an unnecessary delay in my already lengthy drive. read more

Ioannoni's - 12" buffalo chicken cheesesteak. - Sandwiches Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

Good execution on the bread, fairly good chicken execution. The flavor profile was weak. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet Supremo. The sandwich was decidedly too earthy and acidic. The flavors were one-dimensional. The bread was awesome. Nice and soft and chewy. The chicken cutlets were breaded a bit wet. The chicken itself was fairly good, but was a bit salty and non-interesting in flavor profile. The sharp provolone and brocolli rabe was way too powerful of an acidic flavor for this sandwich. It totally dominated. I had to physically scrape the rabe and cheese off just to palate this. That said, this is a lot of food. For some constructive suggestion: crisp up the chicken breading. Use mozzarella instead of sharp provolone. Add an element of sweetness to the mix. Introduce a bit more fat like mayo or butter. read more

WOW....Ioannoni's did not disappoint. Got the roast pork supreme with hots...outstanding. My party also had the meatball sub and cheesesteak. Everything was exceptional. Will be back anytime I'm in the area. read more

I had to try the GiGi's. It was an awesome choice and fairly inexpensive. It was a chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe ( I was thinking what the heck is rabe right ). Roasted red peppers, provolone cheese with spicy mayo. Being from Texas I had to have something spicy. The bread was perfect. You know like ciabatta and not so thick that you believe you are being ripped off. This sandwich was amazing and the staff were old school cool. I am new to the area and I will be returning ...... read more

Best place to eat. Want a fantastic sangwich. You've found it. Roast beef is divine. Cutlets never disappoint. Fries are outstanding. Don't forget your horseradish you be glad you got it. read more

Driving near by hungry. Read some reviews, looked at the menu and said hell yeah. Delicious. Very fresh. One of the best roast pork sandwiches I've ever had and I'm from Philly. Service was fine. Nothing to note. Can't wait to go back again read more

my last 3 orders have been messed up. Today ordered a roast beef sandwich received pork. recent orders have been lacking from years past read more

Decided to check out this place after heating about it. I ordered a cheesesteak and the gf ordered a Hot Roast beef with gravy. It only takes about 5 minutes to get home if that, as I live right around the corner. I must say we where not impressed. The medium subs are so skimpy that by the time we got home the food was cold. After reheating the sandwiches tasted average at best. First and last time here, so many better choices out there for what we ordered. read more

We were on the road and needed lunch. We found Ioannoni's and we're very pleased. We ordered two "small" sandwiches - LOL. They were huge. My daughter and I shared the eggplant supreme. It was thinly sliced breaded eggplant with broccoli rabe. So good. My husband had the roast beef au jus. Also delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food, great service and just an awesome local business that makes the absolute best hoagies in Delaware.

I know, it's a sandwich. How good could it be? Well, being from Missouri, it can only be so good. I never imagined anything like this. On the recommendation of the nice cashier, I ordered the chicken cutlet supremo sandwich. Chicken was thin like it should be. Lightly breaded with nice crispy edges but still juicy. Broccoli rabe was tender and garlicky. Just the right amount of cheese. In my uneducated opinion it could have used a light sauce to bring it all together, but what do I know? Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Mind you, this is not a complaint just a suggestion for my tastes. I also got an order of french fries. Standard seasoned fry fare but perfectly crispy and piping hot. I'll be back to try the pork supremo sandwich before I leave the area. So happy I found this place. Even considering the $5 extortion fee I had to pay to leave New Jersey to get there. read more

Ioannoni's - Chicken Cutlet Supremo - Sandwiches Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

Alright... this place has been around for a long time, and I've driven by it probably 1000 times but I never really knew it was there. Probably a little on the embarrassing side but what are you going to do. Ive always been a loyal Capriottis guy, but after my 3rd and 4th sandwich here I think I have been swayed. The turkey n stuff is right on par with the often (poorly) imitated Bobbie. House roasted turkey, beef, and pork are dynamite. The Italian and cold roast beef are as good as you are going to get. But today, the chicken cutlet really pushed me over the edge and made me drop a 5 star on this sandwich spot. Phenomenal sandwich on fantastically perfect bread with fresh toppings... just not a bad choice to be made on this menu. read more

Ioannoni's - So much chicken the bread can't even handle it. - Sandwiches Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

This place has the best meatball sub around with meatballs the size of an 8-ball, toasted rolls, marinara sauce, and enough parmesan cheese to hold it all together. Its a small business that gets a good deal of business and will continue to get my business. Come with cash or spend at least ten otherwise they loose money in credit card transactions and we want to support our small businesses. If you get a small sandwich add in some roasted peppers and a drink to put it over ten and you wont regret it. read more

Traveling for work with 2 dudes, I knew I had to feed them something good. When I told them we were going to a place for lunch that served sandwiches on paper plates, they were skeptical. But of course, I won them over. I ordered a roast beef with cheese and peppers, the other 2 ordered a philly cheese steak and a meatball sub. Let me start with the fact that the small sandwich is actually huge. Its a big-ol-sub! The meatball sub looked the best to me, and my coworker was very happy with his selection. There were 4 meatballs and they were very large! He said it had good flavor. My other coworker got the philly and he was concerned that since we were in DE, it would not be good. However, he was thrilled. My sandwich, however, was disappointing. It was overly salty, i don't know if it actually had cheese on it and they forgot the peppers. I eventually asked and was told to just take them out of the cold fridge that was in the lobby area. The peppers are worth the extra $1! The seating inside is limited, there are 3 tables with 4 chairs each. At lunch time, its hard to find an empty spot, which is a good sign. They have soda in bottles as well as a customized Coke machine (LOVE THOSE!!). lots of chips to choose from to go with your massive sub. Overall, I would still send people here. read more

If they had ZERO stars I would give them that. The absolute WORST customer service I have ever encountered. I was kept on hold for 25 minutes so my wife decided to call to see if there was a problem with the phone. They continually put her on hold, they finally picked up my call and I asked them why I was on hold for TWENTY FIVE MINUTES, she said you called from another phone and laughed about it. If you're hungry DO NOT CALL THIS CLOWN SHOW. They're amused by how long they can keep you on hold. read more

This is a great sandwhich shop right across the street from William Penn High school. I've been going here for years and my orders are always great. It's really hard to do a good broccoli rabe and here it's perfect, no bitter or grainy taste and one of my favorites is the chicken cutlet supremo. Their cutlets are nice thin pieces of chicken, breaded, seasoned and cooked crispy just the way they should be. My dad absolutely love theirs pork sandwiches and my coworkers like their Italian subs. So it really doesn't matter what you're looking to try it's all going to be good! It can be hard to get through on the phone to order during the busy times so be prepared to wait during lunch/dinner time. Also they're serving their full menu and during these times that's always appreciated. read more

Definitely a spot if you are out and about to stop in and get a very good sandwich. I had to get take out and really wish I could have stayed and eaten it there. The roast beef looked amazing. The cheesesteak was great! roll, meat, cheeses and extras worked perfectly together. The place had a great vibe. The employees worked well together and the customers were glad to be there. Great over all experience. read more
