Huge, meat-packed Italian paninis that are a meal (or two!) for under $20. A true NYC sandwich experience.
This Italian sandwich shop is a hidden gem in NYC, celebrated for its massive and delicious paninis packed with high-quality ingredients. While pricey, the generous portions mean one sandwich can easily feed two or even three people, making it a surprisingly cost-effective option. Diners rave about the various meat-filled options and the flavorful bread, though some find the sheer size overwhelming.
Pisillo is renowned for its enormous Italian sandwiches and paninis. Customers consistently highlight the generous portions and high-quality ingredients, with many recommending them as a shareable meal. While most reviews are positive, one commenter found the mortadella sandwich had too much meat and was cut too thick.
"The prosciutto and porchetta panini and the Caprese sandwich are frequently mentioned, as are sandwiches on semolina bread. Customers generally recommend trying any of their Italian sandwiches."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the quality and sheer size of the sandwiches, often noting they are large enough to share and excellent value despite the price.
