Primo in Italian Means "First"

So, Thursday brought us another snow storm; thus, another hoagie run - this time to Primo's in Roxborough seeing as 1. it was close (and it was already snowing) and 2. we thought we'd compare apples to apples, as they also use sesame seed rolls, like Lenny's.

However, the rolls, we discovered, are not from Sarcone's - Primo's bakes their own - but they were still pretty good. And large. Quite large.

Our hoagies from Primo's lasted through the weekend! [I told you they were large!] But costly at about $16 - $18 a pop!

Mariavee continued with her Italian run (mild) and Anne got a spicy Italian [there were many combinations of various Italian meats and spices to choose from]. Marcy Parm got a veggie and an eggplant to share with the young'un and was glad to see many vegetarian choices. Good food all around, but worth the price? Hmmm...

Anne did not care for the sleek, corporate look of the shop, but there were many choices of sides, leading Anne to down not 1 but 2 huge pickles. The hoagies, themselves, were good; Anne liked them better than Lenny's. Maria did not like the shredded lettuce, which doesn't hold up when mixed with oil and mayo over 3 days.

While large and good, it IS a chain after all and neither Marcy nor Maria thought they were any better than Lenny's; thus, overall, on a scale of 1-5 lip smacks, we give them a 3.75.
