WhatSub

I’m at a loss of words, I don’t know even know where to start! Heard about this place so drove from West Palm. Greeted by Antonio when we walked in! We got the Milano and Arthur Ave. Undoubtedly the BEST sandwich shop in all of Florida! I am not even overstating it! Worth the drive and will definitely be back! Thanks Antonio and staff, you are ALL amazing!! 100 stars if I could!

New york italian here who knows sandwiches, this place is INSANE. Walked in and was handed a sample of fresh cheese and pesto, which was amazing. Both of our sandwiches (milano and arthur ave) were phenomenal. The guys behind the counter were genuine and provided great service, you can tell they know good food. This isn't a sandwich you want to skip.

Whatsub is a breath of fresh air in the fast-casual food scene. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming, clean, and modern. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining a high standard, and it reflects in everything from the spotless counters to the crisp uniforms of the staff. What sets Whatsub apart is its focus on authenticity and quality. Every ingredient feels thoughtfully chosen—fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and perfectly baked bread that isn’t overloaded with sugar or fillers. It’s rare to find a spot where you can indulge in something as comforting as a sandwich while still feeling like you’re making a healthy choice. The menu strikes a balance between classic subs and innovative options for those who like to experiment. I tried the Mediterranean-inspired sub with grilled chicken, roasted veggies, and tzatziki—every bite tasted fresh and vibrant. They also cater to a variety of dietary needs, with plenty of low-carb, gluten-free, and vegan options available. Customer service here is stellar. The staff greets you with genuine smiles and seems eager to make sure your experience is just right. They’re happy to accommodate customizations and even make recommendations based on your preferences. Finally, the price point is incredibly reasonable for the quality you’re getting. You’re not paying a premium for clean, wholesome food—which makes it easy to come back again and again. In a world full of processed fast food, Whatsub feels like the right choice for anyone looking for convenience without compromising on health or taste. Highly recommend!

This is most authentic Italian sandwich shop I’ve seen outside Italy. The food is made in house and you can taste the love in every bite. I recommend getting your sandwich on the focaccia, which is made there. Anthony is always there to take your order and get you a great cappuccino at the end of your meal. Highly recommend checking this place out if you crave an authentic Italian sandwich.

First time trying this place and already can’t wait to go back!! The staff was very nice and helpful. We ordered the Arthur Ave and the Mortadella and drizzled balsamic all over them , FANTASTIC!!! Excited for the Boynton Beach location to open too!

First time there. They crushed it!! Sandwich was amazing. I’m hooked!

What Sub Deli is exactly what you want in a deli. An employee recommended the Fully Loaded, and they didn’t steer me wrong—it was awesome. Fresh ingredients, made fast, and the whole place has the vibe of a classic NYC corner deli. My only regret? Not asking for mayo on the sandwich. But honestly, it was so good, I barely missed it. I’ll definitely be back!

Great staff. Quality FOOD. They make their bread in house. So the earlier the better otherwise you'll get no focaccia bread. Give them a IG follow too!!

This is one of the best delis in South Florida. From hot dishes to cold sandwiches the bread is amazing for Florida. They also offer catering and platters. Anthony does the right thing with all the customers. Italian Espresso available also.

There’s no way there’s a better sandwich than this. It’s all quality and fresh ingredients, the cheese, sauce, bread, and meat it’s all delicious. Antonio recommended “The Buto” with crispy bacon and the sandwich was unbelievably delicious. Thank you!!

Absolutely one of, if not the best sandwiches I’ve had in south Florida. Service was 10/10 as well. Highly recommend anything with the fresh mozzarella!

The line to the door was a great indication of the amazing sub to come! This small and well-appointment Italian sub shop was filled with loyal customers and delicious menu offerings! There was a tiny bit of a wait as the kitchen was churning out orders and the staff was extremely accommodating, offering espresso and additional drinks just for the wait. This was no problem for me bc good things come to those who wait! I ordered the tuna sub on house-made focaccia with provolone, which came with a drink. When I tell you this was hands down the best tuna sandwich I’ve ever had, I would not be exaggerating. The toasted focaccia was crispy on the outside but still soft when you bit into it. And then the sandwich was stuffed to the brim with fantastic tuna salad with red onion, lettuce, and tomato. I think this is the only sub place I want to visit from now on!

This place is GOOD! We bought a car across the street and celebrated/commiserated at the little sub shop across the street. Staff was SO helpful and told us to trust him with sandwich choice and were glad we did. Both of us loved our sandwiches and the portions were massive and the price was exceptionally reasonable! Stop by!

Words can’t explain this place. A hidden gem from The focaccia bread, prosciutto, mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette glaze. If that is not enough, top it off with an amazing cannoli or highlight of the day bread, pudding.

Absolutely incredible Italian Deli shop. The Mortadella sammy was to Die for!!! I was in Venice Italy a few months ago. Had an authentic Italian foccaia and needed to find one back home in florida.... THIS IS THE PLACE!!!! Might be run by an Italian Mafia but what Italian Deli isnt??? Hahaha Absolutely Fantastic!!! Loved it!!! Great Service Great food!!!!

Stumbled here by accident, and got the chicken parm sandwich, wow. So so so good. A lil on pricey side but so worth it, great quantity and that homemade bread is to die for. Would come back here every time I visit the area!

Wow is the only word I can come up with to describe my Italian sub here today, I believe it's call all the way on the menu. They made it on their homemade bread (forgot the name) but let me tell you it was hands down the best sub I've ever had and the quality of the meats, tomatoes and ingredients were top notch! And the sub comes included with a soda and they didn't charge extra for toppings. 5 stars from me fellas. Will most definitely visit again when in the area.

First time ordering from here. A co-worker recommended this place. So glad I ordered lunch (take out). The Resturant was very clean, great customer service and the sandwich I ordered (Buto) was so good!!! Stop in, you won’t regret it.

Great place all around, the food is amazing just what south Florida needed and I can be a picky New Yorker. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait for them to open another location in Boynton. 🙏🙌

This place is a hidden gem. You MUST try their famous "The Arthur Ave" cold sub. It's I've never ate a sandwich with that flavor. It was freshly made and very delicious. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is chill.

I went to this Italian sandwich spot and loved it! I had one with prosciutto, arugula, and stracciatella cheese and it was incredible. My wife got the meatball sandwich, and my son-in-law had the chicken parm—both were delicious too. The portions are huge, and the sandwiches even come with a drink, which is a great touch. The staff was fantastic—friendly, caring, and really want to make sure you’re happy. It’s not a fancy place, and that’s exactly the charm. The casual, comfortable vibe makes you feel right at home.

I recently had the pleasure of trying some of the most amazing fresh and authentic Italian sandwiches at this spot. From the very first bite, it was clear that only the freshest ingredients are used. The owner is incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate about the food he serves, which makes the experience even better. I discovered this gem through Facebook, and I’m thrilled to say I’ll definitely be coming back. My grandma, who grew up in New York, was also blown away by how delicious the food was. Highly recommend!

Antonio and his team are by far are the best sandwich makers in FL. I had seen food reviews and online influencers post up at his shop in Deerfield, FL. I went to check it out for myself 2 weeks ago, since then I've been back there 5 times. Some visits I brought friends, another visit I picked up a sandwich for an employee of mine for takeout, other times i have went to enjoy a sandwich. Everyone I have referred over to Antonio has expressed the same thing I feel...if you're craving an amazing sandwich, you won't find a better place to done at. They use all the freshest ingredients, they shop is a vibe, top shelf hospitality and great people hanging out there daily.

quality food, amazing service, great taste & enjoyable atmosphere. 100% will be returning customers.

Absolutely obsessed with this place! Authentic Italian sandwiches made with ingredients imported straight from Italy—everything is fresh, flavorful, and next level. A hidden gem in Deerfield Beach that’s a must-visit for any food lover.

This 5 star review is from our experience at the What Sub gas station location. PLEASE DO NOT be turned away by the fact that the Boca location is in a gas station! This is without a doubt the best Italian sandwich in South Florida, the Arthur Ave on focaccia was perfect! Fresh focaccia with imported Italian meats, mozzarella, and a touch of sweetness from the balsamic vinaigrette. Since it was our first time, Davide did not want us to miss out on any of the experience so he first allowed us to sample the prosciutto di Parma, which is part of the Arthur Ave sandwich, and threw in 2 cannolis, handmade in front of us, with our order because we simply could not leave without them. We also got the Buto, chicken cutlet with vodka and pesto. Both sandwiches were exceptional to go along with the excellent service and care from this crew. I highly recommend this shop and can’t wait to get to their Deerfield Beach location!

Place is amazing! Been twice in one week. The people that work there are awesome and very friendly. Food is excellent! I have tried a few sandwiches and they are all great! This place will not disappoint. Must try, real deal!

I ordered Whatsub for the first time ever on DoorDash and wow 🤩 this is soooo freaking good !!! I got the Buto sandwich perfection will definitely be ordering again !!

This place is my new all time favourite spot to grab lunch. The owner and staff are amazing and make everyone feel extremely welcomed and like family. The food is authentic Italian cuisine. The sandwiches and pasta absolutely blew me away. I actually ended up coming back 5 days in a row because I could not stop thinking about this place. This place deserves higher than 5 stars. I absolutely can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely run to WhatSub Deli at 1330 S. Federal Highway—you won't regret it. Owned by Antonio Spadaro, this place takes Italian deli to a whole new level, importing top-notch ingredients (virtually everything is imported; he only uses Boar’s Head for the basics like turkey and ham). The real game-changers are the bread baked in-house, including delicious focaccia and crusty seeded rolls. Just note that they close at 5 PM, and the menu is curated and short, but what they do is superb. The backstory of WhatSub is as rich as its food. It’s related to Casa Della Mozzarella in the Bronx and Spadaro Roman Kitchen in New Rochelle. Initially opened as Spadaro, taking over the old Moe’s Deli space on Federal (it still has the original signage), the deli switched to the name "WhatSub" because the former name set customer expectations for a full-service Italian restaurant, which wasn't what Antonio was going for. Try the Sicilian-style lasagne with besamella (a creamy bechamel) and a sweet Sicilian-style sauce—it's exceptional. The meatballs are another must-try: all-beef, breaded, deep-fried Roman style, served with a rich pink sauce that’s phenomenal. The “Arthur Ave” sandwich on focaccia with aged prosciutto, arugula, stracciatella, and sundried peppers? A masterpiece. We also tried chicken cutlets and a sopressata made with fennel which were fantastic. Could we have ordered more, yeah, but then I wouldn’t have been able to move afterwards. I did have a complimentary shot of espresso, which helped give me the extra energy to get up out of my seat. He’s working on some new desserts including cannolis which he is making next week. Antonio’s place often runs out of popular items like arancini, so you better get there early. WhatSub Deli is a cut above your typical sub shop and a true gem in Deerfield Beach.

These sandwiches truly compare to the flavor you’ll find in Italy. Right when we arrived we were offered samples! We were given complimentary cannoli’s due to unfortunately being out of the focaccia bread but the sandwich either way was delicious! Visited 12/2024, can’t wait for their new location to open!!

World Class sandwich shop. For the last 30 years, I thought the best sandwich was from a place in Boca that shall remain nameless. Since I found this place, everything has changed. I've now tried several of their sandwiches, and a lot of other things on the menu and everything is so fresh and so amazing. The owner is a really great person as well.

Another place I really wanted to try during winter break is What'Sub. This authentic New York style, Italian deli has been heavily featured on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube because they are that good! The food is top notch but so is the friendly service given by owner Antonio Spadaro and staff. What'Sub is located in plaza next to Baja Cafe. It still says Moe's Deli and Grill outside. I stopped by near closing time to pick up something for dinner and I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. I was even given some cheese to try while I waited. The majority of the meat, and cheese and other sandwich toppings are imported from Italy. They also have a market that sells Italian oil, pasta, jams, balsamic vinegar, meat, and cheese. The inside is not frills but there are a few tables inside and a couple more out front. After consulting the menu I felt like a hot sandwich and I decided on the chicken parm sub. The thin cutlets were cooked perfectly. No chewy, rubber chicken here. With the sauce and thick mozzarella, it was perfection. I was even given extra red sauce to dip my sandwich in. You can also get the sandwich made with meatballs or eggplant. My meal came with a drink and I saw they had Sanpellegrino, an Italian sparkling soda. What'Sub has the tag line seeds or no seeds. I got one of the last rolls of the day so it was seeds for me which was fine. You can't go wrong either way because all of the bread is baked in house. If you do have a preference come earlier in the day because they can sell out of popular items. Antonio recommended I come back to try the focaccia and I will along with the social media popular Arthur Ave sandwich made with prosciutto di parma, arugula, stracciatella, and sundried peppers. They also offer Italian specialties that include arancine alla carne and al burro, meat lasagna, meatballs, pasta, and eggplant tower, salads, and other hot and cold sandwiches. Whatever you pick, you are going to love it!

Had the Buto which is like a chicken parm with pink vodka sauce pesto and mozzarella and it was FIREEE. I’m making this place a regular stop for me. Everything about the sandwich was delicious and flavorful, crispy tender chicken, soft bread with a great bite, fresh tasty mozzarella, and exquisite pesto and vodka sauces. To top it all off the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, they gave us great recommendations and I can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu.

Like eating in Italy! Came in with high expectations and was shocked at how amazing everything was! Definitely a must try! Antonio recommended us the Arthur Ave with homemade focaccia it was so flavorful and amazing! Also brought us a sample of the chicken cutlet with homemade vodka sauce! Definitely will be back, worth the trip everything was extremely good!

This place is a hidden gem. You MUST try their famous "The Arthur Ave" cold sub. It's I've never ate a sandwich with that flavor. It was freshly made and very delicious. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is chill.

WoW... I've been seeing this place for a couple months, and haven't had the time to go in. So today was the day!!! I just had the most amazing sandwich, I ask the lovely lady behind the counter for her suggestion and chose the Buto... omg... I also chose seeds, and the selection was great! The bread, the chicken... the sauce, just delicious!!!! My friend had a Philly Cheessesteak, and he enjoyed his as much as I enjoy mine! Service was great!!! Will definitely be back to keep trying the other selections!!!

WOW, don’t miss this gem. First, know the sign on the building says Mor’s Deli but you are in the right spot. The sandwiches are awesome! I had the chicken Parmesan which had two perfectly fried cutlets with on homemade focaccia with a combo of pesto and a red sauce. Could only finish half. I also enjoyed an expressing and a cannoli. Owner suggested I try a rice ball next time so I bought one and had it for dinner. Absolutely delicious, I reheated in air fryer. Staff very friendly. Tables inside and out but didn’t see a restroom.

Stopped in for a sandwich to go on way to the beach. Got The Arthur Ave. and it lives up to its social media hype! Super fresh and delicious! We shared one sandwich and washed it down with some Sauvignon Blanc. While I waited for the sandwich to be made , the sweet Italian lady gave me a complimentary espresso , which was great.

Authentic Italian subs. Imported meats and cheeses. They make their own bread. I had the fully loaded cold sub and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was our first time here and we were served with a free desert. Will come back.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Extremely authentic Italian sandwich shop. Fresh warm focaccia bread!!! Makes other Italian sub shops in the area taste like corporate American slop.

Good food, when they say seeds or no seeds they mean it ! The seeded bun is sesame seed overload, its very good and soft rolls. Sauces are spiced perfectly. Slightly pricey but much better than the average sub shop.

Tastiest subs in Deerfield. Great staff and atmosphere. Awesome variety too. Went there after seeing a coupon on my Winn Dixie receipt, but they said the 50% Off offer was a misprint, so just keep that in mind if you go considering to use the coupon. I ordered The Mortadela but when I got home and checked the sandwich it was The Arthur Ave, so that was pretty disappointing (especially since the mortadela costs more). Regardless of those “mistakes”, it was tasty and the focaccia was great. Will for sure be back.

Honestly I was really excited to try this place after seeing about it on instagram and TikTok. I placed a to go order online and ordered a sandwich and a drink. Online it said it came with the drink. Picked up my order and when I got home there was just a sandwich and a sticky note that said “we now charge extra for drinks” which is fine but had I have known I would’ve purchased one or at least stopped else where for a drink. I probably should’ve check my order before leaving so that’s my bad for assuming. Sandwich was just okay, not terrible. Just felt like this was really unprofessional and should’ve been changed on their online ordering before hand.
