I feel like it is rare these days to find a place that puts ricotta cheese in the chicken/meatball parm rolls? Why do i never see this unless i specially request it.

Have to say, when it comes to Italian food I am hard to impress. Very well done! This has made it into my lunch rotation, can’t wait to try some of their other food. Thanks for the recommendation!!

Had two delivered today. Delivery time to 51st and sixth was not bad. Some of the best chicken parms I ever had.

My friend was amazed by how good these subs were. Even after delivery the bread was just crunchy enough but not at all overly chewy, nor was it saucy mush. Everything inside is tasty and balanced. I had plenty of sauce.

Best part: After I power down a chicken parm I often feel kinda sick. After this little baby I just felt full, happy and ready for a nap.

Tried La Bellezza III today after finding this blog. Probably the best chicken parm sandwich I’ve ever eaten. There is a sign up about how they have to raise their prices because their wholesaler raised theirs. A chicken parm hero is now $7.50, but worth every penny.

[...] Blog, the rising cost of flour is sending pizza prices soaring. The owner of Midtown Lunch fave La Bellezza is quoted as saying they haven’t raised prices yet, but may be forced to. But the real [...]

Rudy you slay me. That sounds so so so good.

Of course, £14=$140 what with the Bush “Trickle Down from the Poop Shoot” economy.

Bella Vita has top notch pizza. Perhaps better than Naples 45, though they don’t have the “deal.”

As far as Mondello’s- pretty ordinary Chicken Parm. I actually think the Sausage and Peppers is much better. Chicken Parm tastes too much like black pepper, the cheese is low quality and the sauce non-descript. It’s filling and not bad for the price- but I actually like the other hot sandwiches there better. In the same area, I would try Bravo Pizza on 42nd and 5th- I liked their chicken parm a lot better, but you have to deal with a tiny store and absolute mob of a line.

Where is Lazarra’s? I must try this.

I really like Lazzara’s pizza, but suggest take out. Eating there is weird and painfully slow.

There is also a brick oven pizza place on 43rd called Bella Vita – my coworker loves their pizza. Has anyone tried the sandwiches there?
