Gioia's on "The Hill" |
For around $8 and change, you can grab one of Gioia's several iterations of the Italian sub. Between the Italian Trio, the Spicy Dagger, the Italian Delight, and the Italian Poor Boy, Gioia drops the remix to Italian in style, with a variety of meats, odd Italian slang, and toasted, cheese breads.
Italian Poor Boy looks money |
With an excellent introduction, Katelyn tastes the Spicy Daggett, featuring Gioia's hot salami, hot coppa, and capicolla with spicy giariniera. This sandwich sounds delicious, and although toasting the sandwich is an interesting choice, the super quick, one-bite, no-swallow 7.7 rating seems suspect. Check out the video to see what we mean.
From the midwest, to the east coast, and back down south, STL goes NOLA with the name--and offends the eyes and ears of Bostonians and New Orleanians alike by including the "r"--on the Italian Poor Boy, which is a ham-heavy Italian with Genova salami, mortadella, and ham. Steph checks in with a lovely one-bite review of a beautiful sub.
All together, Gioia's has taken the classic, New England, Italian grinder and updated it with some midwest thangs. Next time you find yourself at a Nelly concert or buying steroids from Mark McGwire, stop by Gioia's on the Hill and send in your own one-bite review.
