    4.5 stars. I like this place! I only found it because of yelp reviews. I am through this part of town all the time and didn't even know it was there. Who knew there would be a good spot in a gas station? Owner is there making the sandwiches himself and is genuinely friendly. Epitome of small biz IMO. Says he has been there 22 years. I got turkey, roast beef, and cheddar sub. The footlongs are huge, could feed two easily. Bring cash, he doesn't take cards. I had to use my debit at the gas station counter to get cash back.

    This is the best hidden treasure! I will never go to s@bw*y again. Sam is the owner AND the sandwich maker. His bread is made fresh daily and he slices the meat as you order. I felt like I just walked into the little corner cafe where all the men stop for coffee every morning. There were 4/5 men having lunch and just hanging out with Sam. He seems to be very loved. Sam was so sweet and is very passionate about his craft. I will absolutely be back! Side note: CASH ONLY

    The bread seems to be the key to this guy's success. Sam doesn't use Boars Head and despite being sliced fresh, the turkey just isn't the greatest meat available. Sam was texting and seem bored as I arrived, but luckily I read the bread choices beforehand because he only offered white bread to me. Sam only takes cash as well which is quite antiquated and since I only had a $10, I couldn't afford the $10.50 combo with cash. The bread and onions are all you can really taste as the smoked turkey was well gas station quality. Most people who order subs at the station don't care about meat quality, but meat matters.

    one of the best sandwiches i've had in a long time. sam was very kind and gave me great recommendations! it is cash only so make sure to have some cash on hand if you choose to come here but it's so worth it! definitely don't judge a book by its cover since it's in a gas station. definitely worth a try!! sam bakes most of the bread fresh and it's DELICIOUS and soft

    This is the best sandwich I have eaten in a looooong time. Maybe the best ever. I will be back as much as I can. Bringing family here when they come to town as well.

    UNREAL. You have to go here. It's the best sandwich I've had in AZ. Fresh baked bread daily!!! We got the Miami Best on a Jalapeño roll. It was to die for. Get the Italian peppers! Also, get the chocolate chip cookie. FIRE! Wow. Counting down the days I can go back.

    Idk why there are so many 5 star reviews... Sandwich was mid at best. I'm sure there's easily better spots in Mesa than this place.

    Great fresh tuna sub. Big combo sandwich w/roast beef, turkey and cheddar was excellent. Much better than Subway.

    Thanks to Jolee, I'd order here again…read more Ordered doordash and screwed up my own order thinking a wrap was a lettuce wrap. Called the store and they were willing to make it as a bowl for me. I've had bad experiences with sandwich bowls from other places but my #9 bowl with pepperoni and extra cheese was actually excellent. They chop things super well so you're not having to cut everything to get mixed bites, and it's well sauced without being too much. They also threw in some hot pepper relish on the side on request. I had to call the store 3 times but Jolee was a massive pleasure to work with and made the experience not only painless but also delicious.

    NEVER ORDER ONLINE HERE IT IS ALWAYS A DISASTER READ A FEW OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT IT SAYING 15 MINUTES…read moreI WOULDNT HAVE CARED ABOUT 15 I WAITED AN HOUR AND A HALF ITS RIDICULOUS. We ordered online I forgot what time my wife ordered it and they said it would be picked up at 12:13 pm. I walked in everyone was waiting on mobile orders I waited 20 mins till 12:33 then had to take the newborn and wife home came back at 1pm it still wasn't ready your better off going to a different location or company they don't work on the mobile orders in advance at all they're were 6 mobile orders just sitting there and 10 people waiting to pick up. It's kinda crazy me and my wife only ordered two subs couldn't even get them in the span of an hour and a half waiting to submit because I actually wanna time how long it took to get these sandwiches. At a certain point when do you hold up the line of people ordering for the mobile orders line. The staff were nice but lunch is either a disaster every-time or someone ordered a 100 sandwiches. The food is good the ambiance is good just wondering why it took an hour and a half to get my mobile order of two sandwiches.

From the moment we walked in, the cook herself greeted us with the kind of warm, genuine smile that makes you forget you're in a public space. By the end of the evening she had invited us to her actual home for cooking lessons--like we'd known her for years instead of minutes. That kind of unscripted hospitality is rarer than a perfect risotto. And the food? Pure deliciousness that matches the heart. Every bite sang with bright, honest Italian flavors--nothing fussy, nothing fake, just layers of garlic, herbs, tomatoes, and cheese that taste like they came straight from someone's nonna's Sunday table. The dishes were so full of soul you could almost hear the wooden spoon scraping the bottom of the pot. It's a small, unassuming spot that somehow manages to feel both intimate and alive. You leave not just full, but genuinely happy, already daydreaming about that next visit (and those promised cooking lessons). If you want Italian food that tastes like love served on a plate, stop searching. You've found it. Five radiant stars. Go. Bring friends. Learn to cook. Repeat.
