Description

Specialties

Capriotti’s prides itself on using only the highest quality, premium ingredients in order to provide customers with a taste of home in every bite.

The homemade whole turkeys and roast beef used in Capriotti’s sandwiches are oven-​roasted in their restaurants each night. Capriotti’s signature sandwich and nationally acclaimed best seller: The Bobbie® (made with homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayonnaise), is likened to Thanksgiving on a roll and was recently voted «The Greatest Sandwich in America» by thousands of readers across the country and reported by AOL​.com.

Other menu selections such as the Capastrami® (made with hot pastrami, melted Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw), the Slaw Be Joe® (homemade roast beef, provolone cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw) and the Cram-​Slam Club® (a triple decker sandwich with homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, ham and lettuce) are favorites amongst their most loyal fans.

History

Established in 1976.

by siblings Lois and Alan Margolet, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is a multiple award-​winning specialty sandwich retailer with 70+ company-​owned and franchise locations in eleven states across the U.S. including: Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Utah and Nevada.

The first Capriotti’s opened in Wilmington, Delaware, in a neighborhood known as Little Italy. The concept was to capture the hearts of «real turkey lovers,» an idea that would separate Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop from almost all of its competition. Lois and Alan roasted whole fresh turkeys overnight, a concept that no other sandwich shop in the area offered. They began by cooking one turkey per night, but the demand grew to the point where they were cooking 10 to 12 turkeys per night. They served sandwiches made-​to-​order with fresh roasted pulled turkey, the best quality meats and cheeses, and fresh rolls and produce delivered daily.

I think I may have died and gone to heaven. In all seriousness… they make some crazy good sandwiches there. I keep wanting to try other types, but I keep getting the Bobby and the hot pastrami which are both to die for. The best part is if you get a big one… you can easily make two full meals out of it. Thanks Capriotti’s for some great food!

Delicious food and great service! Joey was very helpful and friendly. We told him we were from out of town and he made us feel very welcomed. He even gave us a yummy chocolate chip cookie.

Used a Unilocal coupon for the meal, but still would pay full price. The bobbie is amazing, the turkey they use really makes it stand out against the competition. Only issue with this location is the parking. Slim to none. Still worth the hassle.

Our first time here! Parking was the biggest issue! There is none. So we parked at CvS across the street. My husband LOVED his Hot Italian Sub! I got the Homemade Turkey Sandwich… Looooved the Turkey!!! Great sandwich!!! Got a free bag of chips too for checking in on Unilocal!Fast service! We will go back!

I love that they offer a veggie turkey sandwich. It tastes great and I don’t know of any other place that offers it.
However, parking is a total nightmare at this place. So, I was happy to find out that they do curbside. BUT it would really helpful if they would ask the customer over the phone whether they are paying with cash or credit. That way if all you have is a card, the number can be taken over the phone. Instead, when I pick up my sandwich, I am made to feel terrible that I’m paying with a card and the employee running the curbside makes it VERY clear that she is unhappy to run back to the shop to swipe my card.
The food is good but a paying customer should never be made to feel this way.

Decided to give this place a shot, wish I hadn’t. Quite possibly the worst sandwich I’ve ever had, the bread was greasy and spongy, I had the veggie cheese steak, the ‘chicken’ was absolutely disgusting, it was rubbery and had a bitter after taste that I still can’t get out of my mouth, and I only had a couple of bites before tossing it out. Being a veggie sandwich isn’t an excuse, Cornish pasty makes fantastic things with chicken substitutes, this was just vile.
My roomie said his sandwich was edible but Subway could do better. There are tons of sandwich places around the college, pick any other one and it will be better than this.

I’ve been here a few times. I love that it’s vegetarian friendly! I think I’ve ordered every vegetarian option they have, the most recent being the Veggie Cole Turkey. I think it might be my favorite. The mock turkey they use is divine and the coleslaw & Russian dressing are so tasty!
The staff is always super friendly and the service is always quick. Prices are a little higher than what you’d pay at any other chain sub shop, but that’s not really a con to the place. The quality of the ingredients make it worth the price. And you get a lot for what you pay for. A small is more than filling!
A few things I wish they would change is the fact that they use so much paper to wrap their sandwiches. It’s quite wasteful and I feel like my small sandwich wrap paper takes up the entire table. Also, I really wish they would have a Veggie Bobby on the menu! I’m sure many vegetarians who eat there probably feel the same way.

The sandwiches are truly AWESOME. The Bobby is fab. I went to the Chandler Rd location for years and now go to the Tempe location.
But, I give 3 stars because I’ve yet to have «good» service. Something always seems to happen. I call in my order, it gets lost. I call in my order, I’m told they are too busy to take phone orders. I go down and order in person, my order gets lost again. I’m convinced I’m cursed. I’ll keep going back because that Bobby is the BOMB but service is what it is.

Gourmet sandwiches? done and done. this place does not skimp on the toppings. The Bobby is my fav, with turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. Thanksgiving every time. Great every time. Really good, really good service, really high quality product. I belong to the text club and get free drinks and chips, so its and even better deal. Love this place for a fast meal.

Get the Bobby. The end.
Okay, maybe I’ll expand just a little bit. Capriotti’s is a great lunch spot if you’re working or going to school in Tempe. They’re fast, friendly, and above all — delicious.
I’d heard about the Bobby, and I was a little hesitant. I mean, a sandwich with stuffing, turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce? But everybody told me it was delicious, so I gave it a shot. And you know what? They were totally right.

Was told this place was awesome and it is.
Bread is perfect. Meats are high quality and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get.
My fave is the capastrami as its a perfect blend of sweet sauce and spicey pastrami. I didnt coleslaw on a sandwich would be good but boy I love slaw anyways and it blended everything together perfectly.
I’d suggest to friends and I have so I figured id suggest to all of Unilocal aswell.

So I was looking for a vegetarian place that seems to be pretty decent in DT Tempe, but I didn’t find it, so I started to walk around and decided to try Capriotti’s.
I’ve seen this place several times and I always thing about what an awful location they picked. There’s no parking and they have very little exposure, but oh well, who am I to question businessmen decisions?
Anyways, I was hoping to have something healthy but I ended up with the small italian sandwich. It’s not small at all, it’s actually a pretty good size sub.
The taste was absolutely uneventful. It seems that the ingredients are of good quality but the sub is in the dry-​lame side.
A funny fact is that they use plain paper to wrap it up and they use so much paper that it would be a good source if you have to paint your room. Just invite 3 friends, get some subs and use the paper to cover your stuff and roll the walls.
The service was pretty good and the place is really nice inside (for a sub spot).
Unfortunately the food doesn’t worth the bother to park, walk, etc.
If you’re around, in a hurry, on a budget (although 9 and change for a sub and a drink is not cheap), it’s ok but nothing else.

VEGETARIANS! EAT HERE!
I’ve been a vegetarian for nearly 3 years, and the one thing I miss more than anything is a delicious deli sandwich. Capriotti’s has filled that void oh so deliciously well. The vegetarian Philly Cheesesteak is delicious. The Veggie Cole Turkey with Russian dressing is killer. They use Morningstar Farms chicken and Worthington’s Turkey — it is the best mock turkey I’ve ever eaten — and you can’t buy Worthington’s in AZ, so you’ve got to try it at Capriotti’s!
My only annoyance was that I can’t get a Vegetarian Bobby. The stuffing has chicken stock in it. What a bummer. You’d think, as veg friendly as they are, that the stuffing would be vegetarian too. Oh well. I’ll stick with my Veggie Cole Turkey anyday.

The subs here are really, really good.
But they close SO early. They lose a ton of points for closing so early in a college town.

Chicken philly is totally awesome… and I highly recommend it. The parking can be challenging at this location but if your looking for a great sandwich at a decent price then it is worth it. Make sure you get fried onions… sweet peppers and mushrooms on the chicken philly when you order it. I also recommend the hot peppers but be advised they are VERY HOT… so if your not into that then make sure to get the sweet peppers. Eat, Drink and be Merry my Friends!!!

I was very happy when this location opened not too far from my work location I got hooked on Capriotti’s while staying in Las Vegas a year ago. Nicely crafted sandwiches are found right here at this Tempe Capriotti’s, the Bobbie’s are legendary and are scrumptious parcels of Thanksgiving anytime you wish to experience it. The Cheese Steaks be they beef or chicken are what you want even when you have no clue what you want; get them with fried onions, sweet or hot peppers, and mushrooms. When you check in here through the Unilocal App you get a free bag of chips no purchase necessary. This location is right near ASU across from PF Chang’s and parking can be found in the either the structure the meters that are near by.

If my stomach had a Hall of Fame, it would have a section dedicated to Capriotti’s.
Last night, I went to the Tempe location for the first time, and man-​o-​man, was I in for a treat.
I’ve been a fan of this chain for a couple years. I discovered a location near my home in Las Vegas and ever since, I have been a huge fan!
Of course, I hopped on my trusty Unilocal app, and made sure that the Tempe location was the closest to Scottsdale (for now… there is one coming soon), but then… like a Coke machine in the middle of the freaking Sahara desert, I saw it… a Unilocal DEAL… for CAPRIOTTI’S! SWEET BABY JESUS! HELL FREAKING YEAH!
I paid $ 7 for a $ 15 deal and parkoured my way down to Tempe like it was nobody’s business. Parking was a bit of a problem since it was a game night. I also had to deal with the traffic from the ASU/​USC traffic, but I love Capriotti’s enough to brave any kind of traffic.
The shop is small, but nice. Two TV’s. Enough seating. Friendly staff.
Tonight’s addition to my imaginary Hall of Fame: Large Cole-​Turkey with Ham. Yeah, I added the ham. I’m renegade like that. I guess you can say that I just go with it.
The Cole Turkey is: pulled turkey, cole slaw, provolone, russian dressing, and mayo. So, so good.
If you are a Capriotti’s virgin, the large is a 20′ sandwich. It’s no joke. It can feed four people. I had my sandwich cut into four pieces. I ate one of them, put the other three in my fridge.
All in all, I really like this location. Staff, food… everything. Perfect. If I ever come back to Tempe, this is my spot… even over Jimmy John’s. Yes.
