Have to say, they make the best hero's in the Capital District. Italian was quality meats and the Philly Cheese Steak was legit Broad St. But the main event is the seeded hero roll from Aversa's bakery, a real deal Italian bakery from Philly and South Jersey. The Albany area does not produce Italian bread like this. Forget Perreca's and all the rest. Get your butt down here. read more

Amazing fresh subs every time!!! Thanks PrimoHoagies! We will be back again ...and again!!

Ignored the recipe for the sandwich and threw several unwanted ingredients on. Clarified beforehand and still received it incorrectly

This is my first venture for this year in trying out new establishments. I selected Primo hoagies on Troy's Schenectady Road, purely from being impressed on the entrepreneur of this establishment. Remind me, I selected the primo Philly steak with Cooper Sharp cheese. This order came with a three dollar off coupon. I also ordered a leaf lemon tea 18 ounce bottle. The Philly steak was delicious and on the poppyseed sub roll and the Cooper cheese highlighted it just fine. The leaf lemon tea was great as usual. I was impressed by the quickness of the order, as well as the packaging. The only downside I could see was where it was located. It is stuck in the middle of a complex which doesn't have ample parking space is for it, or any other establishment as well. Making it more difficult also is the one-way areas stuck in the middle, which didn't appear to be very well thought out. I ended up parking over the other side of the lot and walked over. I was lucky to find a spot even parking on the other side of the lot. A few small notes. Please designate an area when people come in with an arrow that says pick up orders. And for us older gentlemen that used to order using my last name, ordering online causes your order to be designated as your first name, last initial. And also think about wrapping the sub in wax paper and THEN wrapping it in aluminum foil. This is in case somebody wants to throw it in the microwave. It didn't seem to hurt my microwave, but the thought occurred to me seconds after I threw it in, thinking they wouldn't wrap it in aluminum foil and then wrap it in plastic would they? I immediately took it out and out of the foil and wrapped it up in the wax paper, throw it back in the microwave for two minutes, and it was fine. Nice establishment, great food, reasonable price, not so great location for parking. read more

Great sub! I ordered on Grubhub (guilty) as I have been wanting to try this spot. I love a good Italian sub, and had heard good things. I ordered the sharp Italian. The sub roll was amazing, I loved the sesame crust. The meat combo was pretty good, the sharp provolone was a great stand out. The veggies were well seasoned which I really enjoyed and it added a great flavor and moistness to the sandwich. I added oil, vinegar and mayo to the sub and it was perfect as ordered. I also tried the potato salad, is that blue cheese? I have no clue if I received their normal product but it was basically potatoes in blue cheese dressing. I tried looking on their website and I couldn't figure it out. It was fine but odd. I also got a cookie and it was decent and a good end to the meal. I would definitely order again and try a different sub. read more

I ordered the small sub and they might as well call it minuscule! And the only way to get a normal size sub is to pay double the money. I'm not paying $20 for what should be a normal size sub. I was beyond disappointed. And we ordered on DoorDash so we got hit with all the extra fees/tip so this tiny little sub actually ended up costing me $17! Definitely not worth $10 let alone 17. My coworker got a small sub as well and she couldn't believe how small it was and how little there was on the sub roll. We would never order from this place again!! Very disappointing!! read more

I'm not a big Sub fan, I have maybe two or three per year. For the last 13 years, however, my go to has been DiBella's. Other chains have moved into the area, and I've been reluctant to even try them since they sound so average when reviewed by others or when I look at their menu. But when I glanced through the menu at Primo Hoagies my attention was caught by their Italian Classics. The variations included permutations of regular, mild, and sharp. Mild used sweet capicola vs hot capicola, and sharp used sharp provolone vs a milder provolone. Primo includes prosciutto in their Italian Classics and DiBella's does not offer prosciutto at all. Since DiBella's happened to be offering me a free 5" sub, I thought it would be a good opportunity to buy one from each establishment in Latham, since they are relatively close to each other, and compare. Primo offers three sub sizes, small, Primo (9"?), and whole. I decided to go with the Primo ($12.99). My choice of the Sharp Italian included Genoa salami, hot Capicola, Prosciutto, Sharp Provolone, lettuce, tomato, onions, black pepper, and oregano. My choice of dressing was oil & vinegar, and my bread choice was their signature sesame seeded. For the comparison with DiBella's, I had to do a custom order to have close compatibility. On their Everything Roll (a favorite of mine) I added three meats, salami, capicola, and spicy ham along with provolone, lettuce, tomato, and onions. Dressing was their "famous oil." Since it was a FREE 5", I only paid a tip. Rolls from both were equally fresh and tasty, but Primo's seemed a little less substantial giving a sense of more filling to bread ratio. The DiBella's roll was slightly more crusty than soft on top. The first bite of each indicated a real difference in taste. The hot capicola and the sharp provolone flavor in the Primo was immediately noticeable vs the lack of any noticeable spiciness from the spicy ham and the lack of any provolone flavor in the DiBella's. The spiciness of the Primo was not a bad thing or overpowering, it was simply enjoyably noticeable. Similarly, it was nice to know that you could identify some flavor in Primo's sharp provolone. You can probably guess by now that I enjoyed my Primo Hoagies sub more. Both stores offer a lot more variety than just Italian subs. I may simply be rotating between them the next time I have a hankering for a sub. But the Old Italian with Dry Cured Capicola at Primo certainly does sound inviting. On line ordering using the app for each business was reasonably easy, both orders were ready on time, and each order was filled accurately. read more

On a first visit I was very pleased with my Old Italian with added pepper spread and pickles (my guilty non-authentic pleasure). The Primo roll is superb, just what you want in an iItalian sub: just a bit crusty but soft inside to cradle the ingredients. And the insides: very high quality proteins and good balance of garnishes. My only negatives were first, it took a very long time to make my sandwiches: over 10 minutes at a very slow time of day. Second, the sandwich was just a bit dry. You could solve both these problems by ordering in advance and requesting extra oil/vinegar. Ambience is zippo, some tables by the window if you want to eat in. We had for some reason thought this was a more formal restaurant and discovering it was mostly takeout we ordered to go. read more

Delicious Philly cheesesteak! While the roll is easily the star the steak and cooper sharp are also fantastic. Highly suggest! All the sides we've tried here are quality. We've purchased the rolls themselves to go to make garlic bread and other sandwiches at home, always amazing. The cold subs are also very good and you can make all sorts of alterations on the app which is very convenient. Service was friendly and our order was being finished up just in time for our pickup time. read more

For what it's worth, as a former resident pf Philadelphia, this is the best cheese steak I've had ever anywhere., Ever. The beef is real, the balance between flavors perfect, the bun not too big to take away from the flavors. Congratulations, people. You win the contest. Game over. read more

Have ordered sooo many times now for takeout....and they are Outstanding!!! Service is great....food/ subs are great...Haven't had a bad experience yet. read more

Although I do not live in the area....my daughter does. I was having surgery in Syracuse & she wanted to bring me food for "after". She frequently gets food from here so decided to bring me some Hoagies! Well- they were fabulous!! I particularly enjoyed their "Pilgrim" it's like a Thanksgiving dinner on a hoagie!! Including the cranberry sauce ...right on the hoagie!!! My husband inhaled the ham & provolone without offering me a smidgen!!! All I can say is- if you're in the area- this place is a "go to" for sure! And when I'm in the area for the holidays- I'm checking it out personally!! I understand that staff & service is second to none!! Thank you Primo Hoagies for making my first meal home from surgery - THE BEST!!! read more

Drove about an hour to try this it being popular in N.J and was like being back home cheesesteak was on point and it took less than 5 mins to receive had the speed and taste better than jersey mikes for sure and the Italian hoagie was good as well read more

I ordered online for pickup. I had a mild sharp hoagie, and a side of macaroni salad and potato salad. Counter service was friendly and courteous. The sub is great, I really like the seeded bread and the toppings are fresh. The Mac and potato salads were ok. I probably won't get those again. But will definitely come back for the hoagies. read more

Wow. First to review has ZERO history of any reviews. Just saying. As a Philly guy, I for one am so excited to have HOAGIES back in my life. It's so hard for me to say "sub," that I avoid it as all costs. They have some learning and growing pains to figure out. In truth, the Philly locations are super smooth because they understand the product. My sense is this group is still trying to figure it out. My life and I loved our first visit and look forward many more. A little more lettuce, tomato, and onion (they forgot to include) and my hoagie would have been perfect. Even with those mishaps, better than anything I've had here. Even including every local shop in my desperate search for a good hoagie. read more

My go to sub place. Since Andy's closed in Albany I have not found a great Turkey Provolone on a crusty seeded roll until Primo. Perfect every time. read more

This place needs some serious help with the process of handling the food! The food is very dry and they need not to put the order slips on the bread!! Very slow and way to pricey!! read more

They to upgrade their quality of steak and give you a choice of bread other than that very friendly and accommodating service.
