I have fond memories of this sub shop growing up...was back in town and staying nearby so had to try it again. Maybe it was an off day, but my sub was lackluster. The bread didn't have much flavor and there were not many meats/cheeses. Sad face! read more

My grandparents have always lived in Roxbury and since I was a child every week we'd get a Tony's regular sub with oil. I grew up eating these subs. In my opinion better than ems read more

Sub was horrible. I loved "Tony's" subs all my life. This new ownership IS NOT that. Subs are awful. Hardly anything between the bun. The meat is so incredibly salty. Just awful. This business was well known for the best subs around for decades. Not sure why the new owners thought taking that away was a good business move. Won't be back. read more

I moved to Johnstown some 16 years ago and have heard about Tony's, from time to time, not really knowing where it was. Last week, after Tony's name came up a couple or few times recently, also mentioned as the best subs in Johnstown (probably self-promotion) I took to trying an 11 inch turkey sub. It was nothing "special" to me. Just average. read more

I ordered a half Italian sub minus tomato. I liked this sub! The bread wasn't overly thick and wasn't stale, good mix of meat and toppings for me personally. Hubs thought the sub was a little skimpy on the meat, but he's a much bigger eater than I am. read more

Hubby used to love Clark's subs and I was always partial to Em's subs. You do know what a sub is don't you? http://www.tonyssubs.com/news.html Clark's have changed hands within the family since the original owner retired, ugh, hubby no longer cares for Clark's subs. Subs are a Johnstown staple, a little like homemade pierogies, pigs ( stuffed cabbage) and Coney Island hot dogs are. Every town has their favorite local must haves, be it lobster rolls in NE or cheesesteaks in Philly. A sub, submarine sandwich is usually shared with several others, usually. It is one long loaf of bread and like the cheesesteak, the bread is very important. For a sub it should be crusty, fresh baked and worth it's own weight in flavor. Em's does still have the best bread for the sub. This bread is at least two feet long and can weigh up to two pounds or more once filled with your choices of ham, salami, different cheeses, lettuce, tomato, onions and possibly peppers. Then it is normally drizzled with just oil or oil and vinegar. A great sub will add herbs to this. I skip all of this because I am a lover of mayo and mustard on my burgers and sandwiches. Tony's bakes their own rolls and breads and thanks to yelp I now found them! They make the best sub we have had in years! I would love to hand them an Em's roll to start with, but we each got a super sub made the way we like it. A super sub has double meat, cheese and veggie toppings, but they layer it all twice! I ate mine for three days and hubby still ended up helping me. It was outstanding! He gets double ham and white american cheese with oil. I get ham, hard salami, swiss and longhorn cheese. We both get the onions but skip the peppers. The store is old and cram packed of really neat stuff. I am providing the links where you can read his story of how his father started the business way back when. http://www.tonyssubs.com/ They make two homemade soups per day and sold out quickly. They have a small deli and bakery section of local bakers. The 22" super sub was a double load deal at $12.99 each. They also sell hot subs, burgers and sandwiches. Tony's is my new go to for a great sub! Thank you Tony and thank you Yelp! read more

Tony's Sub Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Johnstown, Pennsylvania

So it just dawned on me that I've never written a review for Tony's. Goodness, simply the VERY best in Johnstown. I'm very biased when it comes Tony's...I grew up living right down the street. When I long for home...I think of Tony's. Homemade 22" hard sub-rolls, delicious deli meats, homemade pepperoni rolls & square pizza with homemade sauce. Who could ask for more?!! Our favorites: -The super Regular sub with traditional coldcuts & provolone (it HAS to be provolone...not American cheese) with onions, Italian sweet & hot peppers flakes, extra pickles & oil -The super Italian sub made with hard salami, ham, provolone, Italian sweet & hot peppers and Italian dressing...nothing compares to this!! -The Regular Garbage Sandwich...this is simply a coldcut sandwich on an Italian roll. BUT it is the BEST coldcut sandwich on an Italian roll you will ever have in your life!!! Order it with provolone, onions, hot pepper flakes, oil & mayonnaise. Heaven. Yes...my love for Tony's is deep :) read more

See all

I would give 6 stars if I could. Delicious turkey sub and sides of macaroni salad and pickle slaw. Very highly recommended.

Deli, does subs & sandwiches on excellent crusty homemade rolls. Hot sandwiches as well. Cons: BUSY. Recommend calling ahead for order. Also, for some God-unknown reason they put french fries on their SALADS. Yuck. read more

I take it that Tony's is under new management & that is a great tragedy. My son thought to do me a great kindness for father's day & went 40+ miles each way to get me a 22" Italian sub. It was Tony's bread that really made his subs so great! This bun tasted like a large hotdog bun, ugh! They were most niggardly with contents & I had to add both meat and cheese to begun to bring it up t o Tony's [past] standard. I usually bought several on my 50+ mile trips to Johnstown, but never ever again. This was perhaps worst sub I ever ate & made even worse by expectation versus the reality. Definitely no longer recommended. read more

I thoroughly enjoy tony's! Been coming since i was a kid, and now my kids have been able to experience the selection tony's has to offer! Everyone is super nice. .from the old bettys to the balding late 20 something kid that always wears nintendo and gaming shirts! This place holds many memories for me...picking up subs and chips and gallikers tea and heading to spend the afternoon at roxbury park....another being meeting friends and sitting at the tables having lunch...the macaroni salad is wonderful, the apple dumplings and gobs are wonderful....this place is bomb! I frequent here weekly bc i live in southmont and it is the closest place that sells gallikers tea and thats all we drink! This shop accepts EBT for everything except hot items and pizza....the pizza is awesome too!! Little squares and sweet sauce. Even if the pizza has been sitting in the covered plastic tray and is no longer hot, they still wont sell it on EBT. I witnessed one of the ladies trying to explain this to a customer that just didnt understand .... Also, they were just taken over by new owners....ive noticed some slight changes thus far..been about a month now. Hoping they dont change tonys to much...or it wont be tonys! The way tonys is is the way we love it and keep coming back...no changes needed!! The cashiers seem to speak well of these new owners, and on the chalkboard it reads "GRANDMA BOUGHT THE FIRST SUB!" which to me shows that they are pretty neat younger new owners! Anyways, i rate this place a TEN. Love it. Johnstown loves it. And the memories it brings back and currently holds are amazing!! read more

Excellent macaroni salad. Also very tasty hoagies. The best macaroni salad in the Johnstown area

This place has fantastic warm subs. I was recommended by the gentleman working there to try the steak sub. He told me I wouldn't regret it, he definitely was right. That sub was devoured within minutes. The banana whoopie dessert was also great. I was skeptical of it, but first bite changed my mind. I wish I would've gotten another before I began my travels. Lastly, the cinnamon roll bun was better than I expected. I was hoping for at the least, a none dry roll. I got a flavorful, juicy, massive cinnamon roll that I can vouch for is one of the best I've ever had. This place all and all was a delight. Don't miss out on this gem when you're in town. read more

Got a 6" club. Was really tasty. Also shared the special enchiladas with my co-worker and they were great! Friendly, happy people. I'll be back. read more

Another Johnstown classic I am on a roll (pun intended). No this is the spot for Italian subs. If you go past Roxbury and don't stop you are making a mistake. The rolls are some of the best you will ever taste. Delicious! read more

Okay if this place ever closes I will cry! lol They have the absolute best subs I have ever had in my entire life. My mom and I always order from here when I visit home. We usually order the ham sub with all the vegetables and the oil. It's beyond words how good it is since they make their bread fresh. read more

Ok the snacks are good, the prices are great, the subs are huge I love it. Where can you get a giant sub, a few snacks, a few sodas, a grilled cheese and more for under 20 bucks. Come on, its awesome. read more

Family favorite ... 4 generations eat here. We do not live on Johnstown but go DAILY during vacation for sub and daily specials (and gobs). Good value for a high quality product!!!' read more

Completely addicting pizza! Better than most actual pizza joints. Also love the "turkey garbage sandwich". It sounds strange and it's just a simple turkey sandwich, but I haven't been able to find another basic turkey sandwich that compares at any other sandwich shop in the area. read more

Some of the best subs in town. If you're a fan of hot peppers, than the hot pepper relish on your sub is a MUST!

Tony's Sub Shop was the first sub I had in Johnstown and I always compare everyone else's to Tony's. I like their hot baked honey ham sub but they have a variety including regular and it comes in a super size, talk about long! But what I've been recently become a fan of is their macaroni salad. YUM! It's more on the sweet side than the tangy. I now always buy a small container when I pick up subs from Tony's. They also have bottled drinks and snack sized chips and homemade desserts. The parking is tight but I've always been able to find a stall in the small lot. read more

I MISS this place! In the early 1980's, I lived just around the corner on Derby Street, just across from Dively's, and I was a daily visitor to Tony's! I loved the family... They always made me feel very welcome and took great care of me! Miss those crunchy rolls, and it was the first place I ever ate where they put pickles on hoagies... Loved the cheese hoagies! Love you all!!! Michael read more

I love Tony's! Best subs in town! The food is always fresh and the employees are great!

Good subs, the bread is really yummy. We've been eating Ems subs for ever and just discovered Tony's. Definitely Tony's for the keeps

Just had Tonys sub as well as the pepperoni rolls yesterday. And again . . . like always, DELICIOUS.

Absolutely AWESOME service answered every question I had the staff was nice and helpful. The store looked nice and had a large selection of drinks chips and sweets like gobs candy bars etc. Got Italian sub and bacon cheeseburger sub both were delicious read more

Good subs, poor service. Local sub shop with good food. On multiple occasions I've experienced long wait times when ordering here (45min). Know when ordering in Tony's your going to wait for awhile. I would suggest planning ahead and call your order in. read more

Nice little hidden Gem of a sandwich shop. Very friendly staff! Welcome everyone with a smile and very proud of their creations. The bread is fresh made everyday and shows in the quality. I tried the Italian sub and it was very good. I had to stop myself from getting another sandwich. Highly recommend anyone looking for something to eat stop by Tony's Sub Shop. You won't be disappointed. read more

I travel around Pa, Ohio, and WV a lot and have eaten subs at over 100 places. Quit simply, Tony's Subs are the best there is!

Tony's is a really friendly neighborhood sub shop. I live nearby and make several trips here throughout the week. So convenient! Terrific subs and pizza!! Skip Subway - trust me, GO HERE! read more

If you cant get to clarks for a sub, go here, its LOTS better than em's, clean and nice staff, call ahead if you can

Where's the meat? Paid 10 bucks for an italian sub that was basically bread and lettuce. What a rip-off! This place is not what it used to be. I'll stick with Em's. read more
