Sandwich Shops near Johnston

“I stopped by the new Ricotti's location in Cranston after hearing they had moved from Johnston, and I'm glad I did.

The drive from my office was easy, and the location is convenient. I parked along the street before realizing there's additional parking behind the building. One small heads-up: there's a fire hydrant right out front, so just make sure you don't accidentally park in front of it.

Walking in, I was immediately greeted by the owner, who was incredibly welcoming. The restaurant was spotless and made a fantastic first impression.

I placed an order for four sandwiches and two hot wieners. The owner was working by himself, and within a few minutes several more customers came in behind me. Even with the sudden rush, he never made me feel like he was trying to hurry me through my order. Instead, he took the time to answer my questions, explain the menu, and point out that the starred items were customer favorites. Since it was my first visit, that was genuinely helpful.

I ordered the Italian Deluxe, and I watched him make each sandwich with care. Nothing was rushed or thrown together. Every sandwich looked like it was built with intention, carefully layered and wrapped twice in butcher paper to keep everything together. That kind of attention to detail is becoming rare. I'd much rather wait an extra 10 or 15 minutes for a sandwich made with pride than get something assembled in 90 seconds just to move the line.

Before heading back to the office, I tried the hot wieners in the car. They were excellent. I'm a big fan of New York System-style wieners, and these absolutely held their own. I'd comfortably put them somewhere in my top five to top ten. The only thing I noticed was a slightly stronger salty flavor than I'm used to. It may have been the celery salt, the seasoning blend, or maybe mine just needed a little more meat sauce. Either way, I'd order them again without hesitation.

Back at the office, I finally dug into the Italian Deluxe, and that's when I understood why Ricotti's has the reputation it does. The sandwich was outstanding. The only thing I'd change next time is asking for no pickles, but that's entirely on me because I'm just not a pickle person. They were thick-cut and looked homemade, so if you like pickles, you'll probably love them.

Honestly, the sandwich barely needed anything. My brain automatically wanted to reach for salt, pepper, and oregano because that's what years of Subway conditioned me to do, but after a few bites I realized it didn't need any of it. The ingredients spoke for themselves.

The three other people I ordered for all said the same thing: the sandwiches were exactly how they remembered them, and nobody had a single complaint.

Great food, a spotless restaurant, an owner who clearly takes pride in his work, and sandwiches that are made with care instead of speed. That's the kind of local business I want to support, and I'll definitely be back.“

“Great fresh food. Meats are sliced to order and subs are stacked with delicious meats and cheese. Service is awesome too! Great friendly, clean atmosphere! Highly recommend!“

“I recently had an amazing experience at Jasmine's Subway branch. Jasmine assisted me in placing a last-minute catering order with multiple special requests regarding the preparation. The order was executed flawlessly, meeting all my requirements perfectly. I picked up the order on time as I needed to take it to a hospital for a luncheon meeting setup. Everything was prepared just the way I needed it, allowing me to display it for a fun Halloween lunch meeting. The order was prompt, delicious, and stress-free. A special thank you to Jasmine for her exceptional service. I have attached pictures of how I arranged the sandwiches.
Thank you!

“Another great order fulfilled by the coventry D’Angelo’s team, the food was perfect! My family and I really enjoyed the sandwiches, and my mom especially loved the broccoli and cheddar soup. They are so sweet at the checkout desk and the storefront was clean as always!“

“Tried this place for the first time today , and as someone who has never had a solid chopped cheese this thangg hit the spot. I also tried a chicken and cheese empanada which was also very good. If you’re looking for a good quality chopped cheese this place is the one to try. 10/10 high recommend!“

“Excellent service. The whole staff is very friendly.“

“Great drinks and bagels and breakfast sandwiches. They also have gluten free bagels and are good about the food safety that goes with providing GF food (avoiding cross contamination, etc). Family member with celiac ate here twice and loved it.“

“The Staff is amazing and the food is great! My favorite place of all the great sandwich shops that participated in the #BestsandwichRI Showdown.“

“Visited on Sunday, 3/15 around 12:30pm.
One of the nicest Subways we have been to! Clean facility with nice seating area. The staff were amazing and so welcoming. They were kind, friendly, and very patient as my family of 4 prepared and gave their orders, especially my 6 year old. :) Our sandwiches were amazing and fresh! They made the sandwiches packed with everything we requested. I am willing to drive the extra few minutes to be a patron to this specific Subway going forward.“

“Had a really great experience at this Subway! The service was friendly, quick, and everything was fresh and made exactly how I wanted it. The employee who helped me was especially kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience so much better. Definitely appreciate good customer service and I’ll be back! 🥪😊“

“Food was awesome. People a little rude but the Cuban sandwich was of the charts. Dominican style“

“i went today to go eat around 2 and there was the sweetest most helpful girl there i think her name was jenna , i never had subway before and she gave me the best recommendation on what to eat & her costumer service was incredible!! you can tell she really cares about her job, the environment is very clean as well great place to “

“I’ve been working in the area the past few weeks. I had to stop at what looked like a time capsule of what sandwich shops used to look like. This was by far the most immaculate restaurant I have been in. The sandwich was awesome, service pleasant and very reasonably priced. A rarity in today’s world! I’ll be back.“

“This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch right in the financial district of PVD! New ownership has added some great new options to the menu. Staff is very friendly and service is 10/10. Definitely worth visiting, you won’t regret it!“

“I just spent $40+ on 2 giant #13s and 2 sodas. The bread was so hard (stale) that I could hardly eat it. This is not the first time I got stale bread, but tonight's was the worst. This Jersey Mike's used to be good, but not anymore. Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed and will think twice before I go there again. The bread in the pic is from a quarter of the sandwich.“

“delicious empanadas and cheeseburgers!! will definitely be coming back, Today was my first day trying the food!! best 10/10“

“So many choices and they're all delicious!“

“Jersey Mike's location, after reading through many, many reviews, I'm extremely curious why I haven't seen one single response, from an owner, Manager, or District Manager, etc. Very curious. Beginning of the end, perhaps? I'm sure some of the negative reviews are from high-strung, entitled, inividuals, but not one, owner/Manager response? Hmmm.“

“Great portion sizes and friendly staff. Food was fresh!“

“SUBWAY IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT AT. FOOD IS FRESH AND DELICIOUS VERY HEALTHY EATING.

Kid-friendliness: THEY GOT KIDS MEALS THERE THAT A LOT OF KIDS LOVE.

Parking: IT'S A PARKING LOT THAT BELONGS TO SUBWAY'S.

Wheelchair accessibility: PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES COULD GO RIGHT IN DOORS ATE WIDE ENOUGH FOR WHEELCHAIRS TO GO THROUGH.“

“I usually buy a sub here at least once a week because the sandwiches are decent, the staff are friendly and the shop is always sanitized clean however I just went to grab a sandwich and the shop was closed. Closed at 7:00 p.m on a Friday evening, this location always stays busy and I’m flabbergasted t
It’s closed that early on a weekend evening. I’m only being honest so since this location was closed I instead drove to Jersey Mikes in Apponaug and purchased a sandwich there because they’re open to nine. I’m very disappointed that this establishment that does so much business is closed this early“

“I just went to this newly renovated UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT SUBWAY WALMART IN CRANSTON , my experience was awesome . This place was immaculate and the service was impeccable . The tables were so clean you could see your reflection in them.So , everyone should go try this SUBWAY ...“

“By far the cleanest Subway I've ever been in.. The 2 employees working were very friendly... These 2 should be promoted to show everyone else how it's done.. Should have got their names.. Monday 6:30pm .. I will take the ride from East Providence to get a sub from here.. Keep it up“

“Yummy yummy nostalgic subway. This location has soft bread, fresh ingredients and good staff. I love the ladies in there. You can tell they don’t mind their job and are happy to accommodate you and make you a banging sub. Make sure you tip when you go! They deserve it. I love the service and consistent well made subs. Shout out 107 smith street :P“

“Over all this location is fantastic! I was greeted when I walked through the doors. The customer service is great, everyone has a smile on there face and very helpful as far as accommodating for dietary needs. You can tell they have good communication between staff which is great for team work! The food is so delicious and hits the spot every time! It’s a very welcoming establishment! I highly recommend stopping in the Lincoln location!“

“steak and cheese very filling. Tuna salad delicious, not fishy made perfectly“

“Truly the best mikes I’ve ever been to, clean, quick, accurate orders and such welcoming staff! Feels like family in here not just a sandwich shop and honestly the store manager Paulo is the best manger I’ve ever seen in food service! Outstanding truly will be back soon!“
