For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.
P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.
Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.

The best Italian sub I’ve had, bar none. As a kid, I used to go to this old deli in Chicago that has long since closed; I’ve been looking for a sub that could match the quality that place had. This place has it, but better; I’m so happy I walked in!Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Just tried the Italian on a braided roll (after reading the reviews). It was EASILY the best Italian sub I’ve ever had, not to mention reasonably priced. If you’re considering trying P&K, don’t hesitate, I will definitely be coming back.
Truly a neighborhood gem. I've lived around P&K for many years and I don't know why it've taken me so long to sing their praise. Perhaps I am being selfish and want the subs all for myself! =D For $12 bucks you've got a substantive, full-loaded sub and make one or two delicious meals out of it. While you wait, kibitz with your friendly neighbors, get a scratch-off, some chips, some sweets and a coffee. You will be not be disappointed.
