Stopped by a couple days ago. My boyfriend and had the chicken parm hero and the Cuban sandwich. 10/10. They were absolutely delicious. The two men working the register were super friendly and kind.

Pretty average bodega with yummy heros. Went for the artichoke parm hero I had seen on TikTok. They were quick and stocked with snacks, also well priced. If you're in the neighborhood, check it out!

I've been happily eating sandwiches from here for a long time. The bread is always fresh and good in my experience. I always order pick up and I try to not order right before they are closing because that seems like a bad idea. I've never had any problems with the people who work there, they are always polite and helpful. I'm not what I would call a gourmet so fresh and simple works for me. I would also keep in mind that it's a very small kitchen when you order. Sandwiches are their thing, so I'd stick to that.

The perfect breakfast sandwich shop of PLG. Mama Louisa's is excellent-- I've ordered a three foot hoagie, egg and cheeses, and chicken parm and not once has there been any issue. Everything is delicious and made fresh at the shop, including the 3ft hoagie they made for my son's birthday which got tons of compliments. I have a lot of restrictions and the staff has always been very helpful and made any changes I've asked. Definitely a neighborhood gem in PLG.

Visited this PLG sandwich shop because of the Bon Appetit article about the artichoke parm sandwich. I might be the first person that traveled to this part-deli part-bodega because of a food magazine article, and was definitely treated as such. The deli is very unassuming and you probably wouldn't know it was here unless you were looking for it. Came by with a friend and split two medium sandwiches - the classic Italian combo and the artichoke parm. The italian combo was the typical cold cut sandwich you'd get most places, not very distinguishable but hit the spot. The artichoke parm was definitely a one-of-a-kind sandwich, but as far as taste and experience goes, just "ok". It tasted like jarred artichokes, steeped in marinara sauce with mozzarella cheese on it.

Stopped by for a cappuccino from their shoppe in the back. Excellent! Very friendly with just enough seating outside.

Breakfast is so good! Great neighborhood shop for lunch as well. And tucked in the back on Rutland is her coffee shop. The coffee is awesome and they have espresso is also good. BUT you must try any of the baked goods they have. They make the most awesome fruit tarts and croissants. All are made fresh and I am homemade.

Despite the mixed reviews about this place, I decided to try it for myself. I was hungry and wanted something to eat before the concert began at Wingate Park. I entered the store a few minutes before the scheduled closing of 5pm. Since it was my first time here, I was unsure of where to place my order for a sandwich which at other businesses it normally takes place where they are making them. However, after about five minutes the man behind the counter asks customers in front of me and myself, what did we want to order? He could've saved us all five minutes by doing that when we first entered. I told him that I wanted the regular Italian Combo which is one of my favorite sandwiches. Normally, it is procedure to ask the customer what they would like on their sandwich but that wasn't the case here. After waiting for about ten minutes, my hero was finally ready and I purchased a few snacks as well which he forgot to put my M&M peanuts in my bag. I will be going back there today to get my candy. The gentleman did thank me as he passed me my bag which was good because most business owners do not thank you for your business. However, I was pleased with my sandwich even though it had tomatoes on it that was not included in the description of the sandwich but it could've used some mayonnaise on it as well. They should include packets of mayonnaise or mustard if they aren't going to put it on the sandwich. I would go back there to purchase another Italian Combo sandwich because my regular hero spot doesn't make them.
