Midtown Lunch

Matt and Marie’s has been going strong with their Center City sandwich sales for a year and a half with a simple menu of about 10 sandwiches and a few salads. Currently, they are phasing out their  “Pieta Pastrami” that featured shaved hot (don’t even, Wayne) pastrami, house-made dill pickled cucumbers & onions, and pepperoncini aioli and are replacing it with “The Testarossa.”

The Testarossa comes with that same Liscio’s bread and pepperoncini aioli,  along with roast pork AND pancetta, high quality sharp prov, and long hots. I subbed my long hots out for some pickled veggies. While they were assembling the sandwich, I was skeptical of the roast pork, but it was actually pretty tasty. The highlight though, was that aioli- it brought everything together, while punching up the flavor.

Do you have a favorite Matt and Marie’s sandwich?
