I have been here over 3 dozen times atleast. I always grab a sandwich and have venture into their homemade pizza dough, pasta sauces, baked goods and more. I've never had anything bad here over several years. They have an online ordering service which makes pick up a lot more easier. Sometimes when it's busy you can expect to wait 20-30 mins on your sandwich, so i usually order in advance. Parking can be touch and go sometimes but there's a free parking garage (up to 3 hours) around the corner.

I ordered a half, and it was enough. The atmosphere is great, and I loved browsing the Italian grocery section as well. Service was quick and helpful, which made the experience even better.

Came to Salumeria to pick up dinner on a Friday night and was so happy to of found this gem!…read more Salumeria is a true Italian deli with a ton of great sandwiches, take home meals like lasagna, and a range of desserts. You can certainly order online and pick up (as I did!) but there is more available in store so it's also worth placing an order in person. There isn't much of a place to wait or sit so whether you order online or in person prepare to take your meal to go. It's a very straight forward deli counter. No frills but lots of treats. The prices are extremely reasonable and dare I say cheap for the quality and portions. My meatball sub was delicious!!! The bread was the real standout for me -- so soft and pillowy. I also had to have a cannoli and no complaints it totally hit the spot. Happy to have this amazing spot for a quick lunch or dinner in the neighborhood!

There is always a conversation to be had if you want one. I enjoy both breakfast and lunch, and while I find it hard to deviate from my favorite roast turkey sandwich, everything I have tried has been delicious. Portions are big and I always split with a friend or take half home.

Arrived 20 mins before closing, but doors locked. Staff inside, but doors locked and they are ignoring everyone. Just shameful. Other customers are arriving with same disappointment, EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED UNPROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT. PLEASE BE CAREFUL HERE! THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THEIR OWN PROFIT, WITH ZERO CONCERN FOR CUSTOMERS.

I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!

AMBIANCE: Chaotic. I go to church at NCC which is nearby so…read moreat this location, sunday mornings, they have always been insane. line out the door. the first time i wanted to come, i was like oh nawh, we not doing all that. But i made my bf wait this time around because i had recently gone to the old town location (much larger space, calmer environment) and i KNEW what wanted. SERVICE: We love a chaotic efficient environent. they have a well oiled machine and even though the line was out there door (really only because the spot itself is soo so small), it goes by fast. people know to have their orders ready to go. there was restroom access which was cool to see! typically in spaces THAT small, resturants don't offer that, so it was good to know. FOOD: FInally -- the thing that gave me the courage to see if the line was actually insane at this location: they have a sub YUCA BAGEL + pickled veggies and crunchy chicpeas and hummus as the protien. i try to avoid eating bread, so having the yuca bagel was the biggest flex. i believe the order is called the "hummus and avacado" under "lunch-y things". 1000/10. Would wait in line again.

On my recent trip to Washington, D.C. we stopped by Call Your Mother Deli for breakfast and it's…read moredefinitely a must. We ordered two different sandwiches. I tried the one with the impossible sausage and was honestly surprised by how tasty it was. It had great flavor and didn't feel like you were missing anything by not having regular meat. My friend got the classic bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and loved it just as much. The place itself has a really cool 90s nostalgia vibe that makes it feel fun and unique the moment you walk in. The ambiance alone makes the experience better. The service was also great. Since it was our first time the staff was very helpful when ordering and gave great suggestions which we really appreciated. If you're in DC and looking for a great breakfast spot this one is definitely worth the stop.

I take cheesesteaks seriously, among other things. Recently I've been working through influencers'…read morecheesesteak lists like this dmv carpet cleaning guy's list. This place is not on his top 25, but it's on my top 5. The fresh bread seals the deal here. The flavor is amazing. It's not overpriced. It's extremely tender and of course coopers sharp should be a prerequisite to be even talked about for top cheesesteaks. The bread really is the difference maker and the fact they stuff the sub with quality ingredients. That's it. This review is about the cheesesteak. I've not had anything else except the dip and chips --- those were great too.

It was a good cookie but not great (6/10). Those potato chips though? Highly recommend those (10/10)! I went at 3pm on a Saturday and it felt very devoid of energy. Ordering at a Kiosk was also not great because why am I being charged a service fee of 10% when no human is taking my order and security is delivering my food? This place made me feel like I wasn't welcome to eat inside. I much preferred the window service I got at the old location. At least I had a reason to go somewhere nice to eat my sandwich. While the food is still great, I absolutely dislike the lack of service and ambiance of the place. It's dark and moody, while making me feel uneasy.

Had a terrific traditional Italian sub here recently. Prego lists it as "famous Italian cold cut"…read more Okay, that's their prerogative. Prego also offers "jumbo famous Italian cold cut". Jumbo means more toppings come with it. Capisce?! I've also enjoyed their grilled pannini selections and can attest to the tastiness of the smoked turkey panini. Staff is responsive; sammies are made right in front of you. It's somewhat easy to miss this place. From the outside, the deli appears to be rather narrow, but it's pretty deep inside. Located right across the street from Eastern Market. A decent sandwich can be found here.

Now that I've returned here numerous times over the past year, I think it's worth updating my…read morereview. After ordering the Italian Cold Cut here numerous times, it's become perhaps my favorite sub in the city. Although I rarely crave it, when I do it hits the spot and is perfection. In terms of what really makes it stand out, I've come to the conclusion that it's really the fresh, soft sub rolls that they use that help to make their subs utterly delicious. Additionally, the meat to bread ratio is just the way I like it which has become more clear to me after ordering subs elsewhere with a ratio that can be sometimes out of control. Overall, Prego has really grown on me and will continue to visit whenever the craving hits!

When we arrived at the pickup time, we were told that the wait was over an hour with no explanation and given no update as to when our order would be ready. Didn't receive our food until 12:15. One of the bagels was wrong, but knowing how long the wait was, we just went with it. Seating was extremely limited with several large groups taking majority of the chairs outside. Food was as expected but thought we'd get more bacon given that it was $4 to add it to each bagel. We also never received our side of chips. Probably could find a faster and cheaper bagel shop but the interior/location was pretty cool.

Also got a little limade, OOO refreshing and delicious. And they give you a whole freaking pickle instead of a quarter spear like other places. Honestly, just a great experience with the staff, quick, delicious, reasonable price. I would go again and again.
