I have lived long enough to have experienced the man Moe who this sandwich was named after . And the quality is just as good now as it was going to the little Portsmouth store and having Moe greet us , knowing while they were cutting up onions that made us cry , we always left that store so happy . There was no DoorDash back then . Just store dashers -US :-D So good . The best Italian sandwiches around !

Very fresh bread and equally fresh ingredients in sandwich! Quality meat and vegetables every single time. I've been a customer for many years and this place keeps proving that it is the best sandwich place on the Seacoast!

The Half Mad Chop is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! It's always full of flavor and super filling!

I ordered 2 whole original with onions, black olives, mayo and light pickles. Well I got maybe 4 Pieces of onion and maybe just a tinny amount of black olives. Most times it has tons of onions and black olives and mayo just they way I like it. I mean it was good but depends on who is making it, it can always be good and full or hardly anything on them.
