Phenomenal sandwiches! This is the place to come for food when visiting or staying in Buffalo. I recommend it 100%. The Rocco V has been the best eggplant sandwich I've ever had, my hats off to the staff. You will definitely see me when I go back up. Thank you read more

Love their chicken cutlets, so when I seen them post a special sandwhich, The big bubba, with chicken cutlets, bacon and home made pimento cheese, I just had try! I love a good pimento cheese. The sandwhich did not disappoint. The cutlet was cooked perfectly, the bacon was crunchy! I wish there had been a bit more pimento cheese and the chipotle sauce, it ate little dry, but flavor was on point. Also got the Marty, this was delicious. Easy to order online and pick up in store. Pick up was easy (minus finding parking) greeted with smiles upon walking in. Food ready when said it would be, no wait time. read more

This was my first time trying Zio's, and it lived up to the expectations! It is a small spot with several small tables available, but there were plenty of open spots when we got there on a Saturday night. I ordered the Jenny (converted to a wrap), and my fiance ordered the Junior. These both were fantastic. There are so many menu options, and there's also an option to build your own sandwich/wrap. The Buffalo sports wall art/jerseys are a cool added touch to this great local sandwich spot. Workers were very friendly and service was quick. We will absolutely be back and hopefully be adding this to the regular rotation! read more

BLUF: very good and tasty subs. Five us five of us ordered a variety of cold and hot subs from here. We did take out so I can't speak to anything within the restaurant. Our order was ready on time when we have to pick it up. The bread was very good but I would have liked it to be a little crispier. Everyone of us really liked our sandwiches. If I had one complaint here it's that I think they are kind of skimpy on the fillers. It's not terrible but I would like a little bit more in there to kind of balance out the main ingredients, especially the thicker-sliced or fattier meats and cheeses read more

Outstanding lunch spot. The food was so fresh and flavorful, I couldn't stop eating. Combined with the personal, friendly service from the staff, I will be coming back very soon. I highly recommend the Big Gram, the chicken cutlet was perfect. read more

Stopped back into Zios and I was so happy with my lunch. The subs are just so good. They are fresh and creative and just delicious. The staff is always so welcoming and it's always fun to sit in the window and watch Elmwood while you enjoy your food. This is a must try restaurant if you haven't gone yet. And get a side pasta salad and definitely a chocolate chip cookie!! You won't be sorry. read more

There isn't a sub that I've had at Zio's that I don't like. But if I had to pick one and only one to enjoy for the rest of my days, it would be the Hot Boi. Get it! read more

Phenomenal deli. Honey Mac was outstanding. Subs were delicious. Great prices. Friendly workers. Highly recommend!

Good solid food. 2 heroes ordered. Used DoorDash......I recommend for heroes/ light food.

The Kev sub blew my balls off. FRESH toasted roll, perfectly shaved turkey and ham with THICK slices of cheese. And the subtle avocado spread + aioli set it off. Tomato basil soup was shockingly good too. Guys behind the counter were very kind. I simply cannot wait to come back for a hot sub. read more

If you're looking for a fantastic sandwich that's sure to satisfy your cravings, look no further than Zio's! I went with the make your own option. I had a regular roll with ham, roast beef, fresh lettuce, onion, and creamy mayo, this sub was an absolute delight to eat. The bread is perfectly toasted, giving it a nice crunch that complements the toppings perfectly. Every bite is packed with flavor, making this sandwich so good and making me wish I ordered two! My wife made her own turkey and raved about how she wishes more places would offer pesto as an option for subs and sandwiches. Go ahead and treat yourself to this delicious sandwich today - you won't be disappointed! I will definitely be back soon. read more

So, I was having a rough day today and Zio's is on my block; been there many times. Always enjoyed the customer service and thought the hero's were good and definitely something different than the local bodega or pizza spot. Went in today and ordered a cold sub of any kind; "surprise me"..I wa asked if I liked it sliced my; said not too much. Long story short. They make bomb sandwich's read more

Last trip really hit! I got the JT - Turkey, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo. I paid extra to add bacon and avocado. So so good! Just an FYI it's not really avocado. I was expecting slices. It was more like a guac spread. The soft roll was really nice - fresh, chewy and kept the sandwich contents all together while eating it. Will continue to go back! read more

Ordered delivery from here. I got the Rocco and it was delicious and fresh. The roll was crispy. 100% can't wait to return and try more amazing subs! read more

Zios' Chicken cutlet sandwiches are the best subs in the city, and if you haven't tried them, you must asap!

A Solid Sandwich Not all sandwiches are created equal and that's because Zio's are superior! I ate here for the first time a couple weeks ago and it is now a staple on my list. There are so many sandwiches to choose from that all sound mouth watering that I have no choice but to go back. Thankfully, the worker that took our order was super patient because I literally couldn't decide on a sandwich. I settled on the Pauly which had a solid combination of soppresata (think salami), burrata (think mozzarella), and red peppers. I went there pretty hungry but I still ended up having half of my sandwich left for later. Definitely check them out and take a look at their wall of Buffalo images and relics. read more

I heard so much hype about this new sun shop and was so excited to try it! I suggested it to my husband one day for his lunch, and he really enjoyed the sub he got. So I ordered it one day for lunch- being that sandwiches/subs are mr favorite lunchtime meal, I was really looking forward to trying it. Maybe bc I door dashed it, it was that great? But I was kinda let down by the lack of substance to the sub. I found there was more bread than goods. It was flavorful, but just not what all it was hyped up to be. Maybe ordering in is better? I might try it... read more

My co workers father and I were talking about chicken cutlets and I asked him where is there a good place for a real chicken cutlet sandwich which isn't made of chicken fingers? He recommended Zios on Elmwood! I went there today and bought two chicken cutlet sandwiches one with red roasted peppers. Ming Ya! That sandwich was very tasty and you could taste every ingredient on the sandwich. It was that fresh. The place itself is right on the corner and is very clean and staff very polite and professional! I haven't had a real good chicken cutlet sandwich since my grandma was alive and this sandwich delivered! Two thumbs up to Zios!!! Their menu also has other great sandwiches also! Salute! read more

10/10 - great variety, good quality ingredients, the rolls are made fresh from a local spot, service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant is spotless and comfortable for dining in, but typically we order takeout. Perfect thing to bring to a Bills tailgate, or pack in a cooler for a summer boat day. Ben and Annie (Zio's husband and wife ownership duo) have done an incredible job with this place! read more

This Rocco sub? It's like Tony Soprano took a break from mobbing to personally whip it up. Lightly fried eggplant, mozzarella arugula roasted peppers and some balsamic vinegar and i used to be a jerkoff by not messing with eggplant or peppers but forget about it this sub changed the game and then I was feeling a little cheeky and slapped some meatballs on there cause why not and don't get me started on the bread it was perfect the customer service excellent and anyone who disagrees and thinks the food is nasty sleeps with the fishes read more

I'm always absolutely impressed every time I've ordered from Zio's. This is a go-to spot for my coworkers and I for takeout and pre-ordering online is so easy. Everything is always ready on-time, orders are accurately made and labeled, and even customizations are spot on. So far I've tried: LUTHER - chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, basil & choice of pomodoro OR vodka sauce THE BIG GREEN (SPECIAL) - chicken cutlet, crispy prosciutto crisped on the flat top, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers Romano cheese, chipotle aioli and our house made chimichurri green sauce WEEZE- Breaded eggplant, fresh mozzarella & choice of pomodoro OR vodka sauce I truly can't pick a favorite because they're all unbelievable. You always have the option between a hoagie and a baguette and I totally recommend the baguette. All of the ingredients are so fresh and compliment eachother. Huge fan of the crispy eggplant. All of the employees always have a smile on their face and it looks like a genuinely fun place to work. Love that the names of the sandwiches are after family and friends, such an amazing personal touch. read more

Delicious! The Rico is absolutely the tastiest sandwich I've had in a while. It's one of those cravings you get...

Zio's is anything but subpar! (Subpar? Get it? Subs?) But seriously. They piqued my curiosity when their Instagram page came across my feed and I was really excited to give them a try. They have a good selection of both hot and cold subs, with a build-your-own option as well, which is nice. We decided to order for a takeout dinner and we weren't disappointed. I got the JT with turkey on an Italian roll and I loved it! It was so simple, but I'm a firm believer there's power in simplicity. My boyfriend got the Kev and a side of mac salad and enjoyed both. The mac salad is a lot lighter than what you typically get at picnics, so I really enjoyed it. Pricing isn't bad either considering how much food you get! I think these guys are killing it for having just opened a month ago! I'm so excited to return and try one of their hot subs next. Get yourself some Zio's if you're craving a wholesome sub! read more

if I could give 10 stars I would. This place is fantastic. It used to be a Poster shop in my youth, and now it's a deli with seating and it has the most fantastic breaded chicken and eggplant sandwich I've ever had. I will be back for more and more and I'm telling my friends! read more

My first time trying Zio's Italian subs and it was amazing! I ordered to go and it was ready on time when I picked it up. Staff was great also! They have a small seating area inside as well. I can't wait to order one of their chicken cutlet subs! I didn't see any parking lot for parking so you have to park on the street. Zio's is hands down one of the best Italian deli subs I've ever had! :) read more

I don't know what Nick Hurricane Harvey is talking about... this place has a cutlet that will talk to you. Thank god they don't serve that Cincinnati chili, that shit is disgusting. Also, want to send a shoutout to RAVAA for their amazing dad bags. I got two for my Yorkies, Dexter and Cody. No better product on the market Go bills. JA17 is the GOAT! read more

One of the greatest places to eat in all of Buffalo. After a day of school it's a quick drive to elmwood, and to walk in and be able to see everything being made by hand with music goin and the workers being as chill as ever. Everything is good, and it always will be. read more

I've had some bad sandwiches in my time. This place is by far the worst place I have ever been. 34 bucks for two subs. The bread was awful. It was dry, stale and disgusting. Hardly any meat on the sandwiches. Just full of lettuce. For 34 bucks. And it took 20 minutes to make something when it was not even crowded. For nothing. read more

I've been hearing about zios for a few weeks now and finally got around to hitting them up. I'm a sucker for fried eggplant so I grabbed the "Rocco" on a hoagie roll. Flavors were great - eggplant had a good crust on it and well seasoned. Just wish they had more of a sauce on it or something to make it less dry. Regardless, still a great first experience. Ended up going back the week after for the "Weeze" thinking they would load it up with vodka sauce - but it was more dry than the first sandwich. The intention is there but execution (for my taste at least) needs at least double the amount of sauce to be enjoyable. SAUCE ME UP ZIO read more

I've been pretty excited for Zio's to open and while it didn't quite live up to my expectations it was pretty good. Pros: - Better ingredients than local sub places, such as chicken cutlet (not fingers), eggplant parm, arugula, pesto etc. - Kind of an Italian deli feel. - Super friendly staff. Cons: - Pricey (average sub is about $12.99). - Buffalo good but not as good as you'd find in other cities. - Long wait times (but they did just open) - Basic drink selection of Coke products. This might be the most disappointing thing. - Subs are small for the price. - Panini style, which I don't love. - Barebones foodcourt feel. Overall a good addition to the area. read more

Really bad bread. Not a fan. Maybe it's just me. Bummer. 39$ for 2 subs too. wouldn't come again. read more

I went to Zio's on the darkest day of American democracy during my lifetime and ordered enough food for a family of six for coping purposes. It was the first food I've eaten all day, at 6:30pm. The Mary Etta and Eddie were excellent but the real mom love energy came from the Hungarian mushroom soup. I've been a Zio's Stan for a while, but truly 11/10 food and service today. read more

$20 for bread. Scraped the insides onto new bread and it made a very small sandwich. Why would they have such poor quality bread if this is a sub shop? The menu items are creative but not worth it. read more

Today was my first time having Zio's deli. I followed them on Instagram for a while and finally had to have one of their sandwiches. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!! I ordered the Mary Etta on a hoagie roll; it was so good! I cannot wait to try their other hoagies in the future. 10/10! read more

A great vegan sub and very kind and knowledgeable service. Answered all my questions and were accommodating with allergies
