* I don’t like giving bad reviews* but someone is cutting corners and not doing their job .The pizza was good, and usually everything is! Must have been a bad day the nightmare hoagie we got was missing half of what it should have. Disappointed- mostly just had canned mushrooms and peppers. It was gross and I got sick real quick. I hope it was a fluke because we love this place .

Hello Brenda we are sorry about your experience we were really short staffed today and wanted to focus on the people in front of us and in return we were unable to answer the phones and again we apologize for the inconvenience.

How dumb is it that you close at 7pm. A lot of us work for a living and have families that are busy. I mean 7pm on a Friday and Saturday night!! Really!!! Maybe some realistic hours of a pizza parlor. I mean people like pizza. Makes no sense.

Went as a group of 6 for our first ever US Italian deli Sub/hoagie experience... Boy did this place come up trumps.. Exactly what I hoped for... The staff are helpful and friendly, accomodating our needs.. 3 sizes of subs.. from large to massive! Great choice... I was brave and had the large combo nightmare... Hands down the best flavour and largest sandwich I have ever seen, and coming in at over 4lb way way to big for 1 person.. although I tried..! I got half way before I had to admit defeat.. But packed with fresh ingredients and big on flavour. Also had their brownies and Italian lemon cake.. Everyone enjoyed their choices (6 of us) Theresa's is the real deal!

What a great local gem! All of their food is incredible, but what I can speak most highly of is the incredible deal of their party pizza! Anytime I have an event that I need to feed a lot of people, quickly and easily, this is always a great answer. They always can have one or two ready within a reasonable amount of time and the price is great for a huge pizza!

Outstanding sandwiches. Not so great customer service. Tried to add to a order, but service was slow so we just skipped the additional items.
