The Italian Sando

Deli Towne USA · 3650 Lakeside Drive, Midtown · delitowneusa.com

Some sandwiches are assembled. This one is built. The Italian sub at Deli Towne USA arrives on Dutch crunch bread baked fresh daily — hourly, really — with hand-sliced meats layered with a generosity that borders on architectural. Iceberg, tomato, red onion, pepperoni, olives, the works.

Each one made to order. Each one worth the line out the door.

Deli Towne has been doing this since 1993 — 14 Best of Northern Nevada wins in the deli sandwich category since 2006, a nod from People Magazine as one of the best sandwiches in the country, and a dill pickle in a top hat as its mascot. That last detail tells you everything about the spirit of this place. They also do a Tampa-Style Cuban that has its own devoted following, and dozens of sandwich combinations if the Italian doesn't call to you.

This is Reno on a roll. Don't overthink it. Just order.

One piece of advice: don't walk in blind. The lines can get long and they move at their own pace. Order online at delitowneusa.com or call ahead — your future self will thank you
