ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – Two New Jersey sub shops have been named for the top 10 best Italian Subs in America by Mashed. For those in Pennsylavania, that’s a hoagie. In New York, a hero. In Jersey, we call it the sub.
The Italian Stallion at Sugar Hill Sub Shop in Atlantic City and the White House Sub Shop each made the cut, no pun intended.
“In Atlantic City, it’s clear White House Subs appears to be the Number-One destination for sky-high hoagies. But in the eyes of fellow Yelp reviewers, Sugar Hill Sub Shop in Mays Landing may just give them a run for its money,” Mashed said. “Resembling a gas station stop on the outside, those on the road won’t want to drive past. On the inside, visitors will find a dizzying array of sandwiches, all big enough to feed a whole party without the hefty costs of other hero shops”
The other shop was the White House Sub Shop, also from Atlantic City.
“When it comes to the best Italian sub in the U.S., Jersey’s White House Sub Shop has the sandwich, and the history, on its side,” Mashed said. “For almost 80 years, the roadside deli’s constructed massive heroes out of finely-sourced ingredients, with a lineup large enough to make your head spin. They’ve fed actors and politicians, and in 2000 they joined the ranks of the nation’s best when the James Beard Foundation named them an American Classic. In 1964, the Beatles famously plowed through a 6-footer after playing to a crowd in Atlantic City for some post-gig sustenance.”
