It was pretty unspectacular. It's not bad, but it's not as mind blowing as I thought meatball, eggplant, and garlic bread would be. The eggplant gets lost in the sandwich unless it falls out, and there wasn't a distinct garlic bread flavor. On the other hand, it's not as unhealthy as it could be if they used greasy garlic bread and eggplant. Perrone's meatballs are very good on their own. That's a better pick. I tried this.

I guess all the stuff is premade, kept warm, and heated in an oven to order (not complaining, I just now understand). I ordered the special. As of 12:30pm today, I was the last one to order it as he ran out. Apparently these things are pretty popular, and rightfully so. Ordinarily, I think I'd give the sandwich a 7/10 (the roll was a bit too soft, but considering he has to keep things pre-made, the choice makes perfect sense). However, being that it's on garlic bread instead, it's definitely an 8. The only thing that could make this a 9+ would be the bread. If he were in a proper pizzeria and could make it to order and use great italian bread thats plentiful in the city, this would be a hard to beat sandwich. I would be shocked if in a year from now all the pizzerias don't have this on their menu. As for the concern about tasting the garlic bread, you most definitely could taste the garlic, and it's definitely not just the aroma. The bite of the garlic makes it past the parm for sure. So yah, this is definitely a "MidtownLunch Sandwich Challenge" triumph IMO (even at $9). So now I understand how a pizza van can actually operate.

My guess is he's taking today off. Which I should've done. Wasn’t there as of 10:30 this morning, A5 (and it usually is by then). My guess is he’s taking today off. Which I should’ve done.

It is unbecoming. You already have a serious strike against you from the Walgreens sandwich failpalooza. You're in danger of losing our respect entirely.
