“Some of the absolute best subs I have ever had in my life! my favorites (all made to order) include: 1. Their December sub of the month, a turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cheese sandwich (opted for no cranberry sauce) 2. the biggest bacon egg and cheese I have ever eaten, and the best. lord have mercy, I am a sucker for crispy bacon and my God they delivered 3. Top notch cheesesteaks packed with meat. they do not skimp on portions! In addition to their delicious food, DiPisa also has some of the nicest staff you will ever encounter in any eatery. Buncha great people in there. Prices are EXCELLENT for the quality and size of the sandwiches too.“

“This place... is special. I just had a fantastic meal and got a chance to chat with one of the partners and someone else working there. I wish I got their names, because they made me feel like I knew them forever and they were just wonderful. anyone should make it a point to head down there, try whatever they recommend, and have a chat!“

“I do not live in the area, but everything I come up here from my State, I intentionally make sure to visit DiBella's for one of their excellent subs. I was first introduced to them by my husband, who was born and raised in the Rochester/Buffalo area. We both always comment how we wish there was a good sub shop like this down South. The bread is so fresh, soft, and tasty and pairs perfectly with whatever type of sub selection one get. There is a diverse range of toppings, which makes each bite special. If you are wise enough to order a cookie, they are the best and are a wonderful grand finale to a tasty meal. The atmosphere is clean and I have been to three different DiBella's and employees have always been so kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. I can't wait to come up this way again.“

“I've known eli since before I was born lol my dad and him were good friends growing up he's like an uncle to me. His daughter is just a peach they make the best extra cheese pizza ever and the chicken fingers and fry combo is always great the subs are amazing as well.“

“This is the third time getting a sub from this sub place. First two times Dee-lish!!! Today, the third time, OUTSTANDING! I got the hook and ladder and it was so good, soft, fresh, and very flavorful. Condiments just right. So much better than Wegmans or any other place!“

“I will drive from Greece to Henrietta just to get these socks. I love the cheesesteak sub. It's always made the same way every time I come I love the consistency. And everyone is always so friendly. I definitely recommend Pellegrino. I“

“I had the roast beef and provolone sub. The veggies on it were nice and fresh and the roast beef tasted good. I liked the olive oil blend and red wine vinegar on it. All it needed was more tomato.

All in all, it was tasty and I would go again.“

“Today we picked up 4 jumbo sub platters for a funeral from the Amiel’s in Victor! Thank you so much! They were delicious as always. We are very thankful for taking such great care with our order!“

“A chain restaurant that actually gets it right—that’s not something you say every day.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was lively, welcoming, and well put together. The place has a great energy to it without feeling chaotic, which is not easy to pull off in a chain setting. The food was genuinely impressive—fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with some pride.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The young staff—college kids, around 19—handled themselves like seasoned professionals. Friendly, attentive, and sharp. No attitude, no distractions, just solid, genuine hospitality. They paid attention to the details and made the experience feel personal, not scripted.

Bottom line: strong food, great atmosphere, and service that punches above its weight. This is how a chain restaurant should operate. I’ll be back.“

“💗 incredible food, thank you!“

“Been going here for years, great location. The subs are always full and plentiful, unlike other locations who seem to be a little lighter on filling their subs. Its hard to find a good tuna in rochester, unless you make your own but Dibellas tuna recipe is on point!“

“The subs are delicious I would get a sub again.“

“Irondequoit location) my first time ever at Jersey Mike's not only the food was better than I expected but the Staffing they had there was unbelievably friendly and welcoming, definitely will go there again“

“We went on 8/14/25. I tried the Abruzzi. Roasted pork, sharp provolone, broccoli rabe. But I had them throw on the roasted red peppers, which normally come on the Nellie. This is usually served as a cold sub but I asked them if they would toast the entire thing. I couldn't wait to get home. When I unwrapped that bad boy, the 1st thing I noticed when I bit into it, was the warm, toasty crunch of that bread. Then I got the porky goodness of the meat. Followed by the ever so slightly garlicky flavor of the broccoli rabe. And then the sweetness of those roasted peppers. I read some negative reviews right before we came here. Almost didn't come here because of them. All I can say guys, is I am so glad we decided to try Primo Hoagies for ourselves. Oh yeah, my partner got the Italian Diablo. He loved it, as well. I couldn't decide when I first walked in. I figured I'd get something different next time I come. But I am pretty much in love with that Abruzzi!! 💟“

“I'd like to acknowledge a sweet young girl who took care of me today. I came in and order a chicken bacon ranch sub. Ari took care of me. I believe she is a shift lead. She was very kind and delightful. An amazing employee you guys have right here! Thank you Ari for making me smile and my delicious food.“

“This place makes the #1 best subs hands down! Awesome bread, meat of choice is loaded, and plenty of dressings to choose from. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. Ya gotta try it! 💜“

“Absolutely amazing subs and the customer service is excellent as well 🥰“

“The workers were actually pretty quick at this location! Being fast is so much more important for an airport location since people can be much more on a time crunch. They also still had deals and let you enter your phone number for rewards which I was pretty surprised about. There are not too many options at the Rochester airport, but this isn't a bad option.“

“Lance and Becky are a great team at my local sub shop. Lance puts the sub together quick and Becky is kind and respectful. I haven’t seen a cashier counter “serve” me by offering suggestions to enhance my meal. Great job! I’ll be back.“

“First time in this particular Subway. Greeted as I walked in, served within 1 min of my arrival, and the customer service was OUTSTANDING! Very friendly, courteous, and patient while I was thinking of exactly what I wanted to order! Actually walked out the door and said to myself, “why can’t all Subway’s be this cheerful, friendly and courteous!”
I think I just found MY NEW SUBWAY!! To the Mgmnt and staff, thank-you, it was a GREAT first visit of which I know will be many. Definitely 5* on this visit!!“
