The Dennis is a mega monster of the sandwich worthy for two. All the sandwiches are huge in general and worth every cent. Cash only and expect a line on the warmer days during weekday lunch hours.

Massive fresh-sliced Italian meat sandwiches, perfect for taking to the nearby park on Lafayette - get The Dennis w/ chicken cutlet, prosciutto, fresh mozz, roasted pepper & basil spread #prayeremoji

old school Italian sandwiches which are all great. full of cops and firefighters during the lunch rush so come before 1230 or after 2 to avoid the lines.

Though you can depend on meatballs and just-fried chicken cutlets always being available, on Fridays there are warm seafood heros like the shrimp parm special, and it really was special. Read more

If you're looking for a meatball parm that's as Sunday Gravy classic as can be, with rich, bright sauce that highlights the slight sweetness of beef, this baby is the one for you.

Two words: The Dennis - a mouth-watering, perfectly breaded chicken cutlet sandwich with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto. This one will put any other sandwich to shame.
Kevin GrantMarch 11, 2017
I got the dennis - its enormous. Don't feel the need to finish in one sitting, but I salute you if you can
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013
Great old school Italian bakery with massive, delicious deli sandwiches. Don't miss the peppery lard bread with chunks of cured pork baked into the dough.

Amazing sandwiches, amazing portions, amazing value. Please do not tell your friends and crowd this place.

I go to Parisi a lot, I love their sandwiches, especially the Dennis. It’s better to go there early to beat the crowd.

If you really want to treat yourself right. Ask them to make you an egg sandwich using their lard bread, not on menu, around $12 you can probably split it with a friend

This lard bread's meaty flavor and pronounced pepper bite rank it solidly in the Top 5 of our favorite lard breads in NYC.

Rumor has it there's a "Dennis" sandwich here. If so, this is my destiny. Even tho that's kind of a lame destiny.
Brian MichelJuly 5, 2019
The Dennis is wonderful and incredibly filling. Split it with someone!

Huge, delicious sandwiches carved to order. My picks are the Dennis or the Italian, but whatever you get, don't forget to ask for a pickle on the side!

Parisi supplies breads to many of New York’s restaurants, but neighborhood patrons are loyal consumers of their freshly baked rolls, baguettes and loaves.

Pretty hectic lunch rush, so going early is a good idea. The Dennis is great! But don't overlook the specials card.

Do not eat the entire sandwich.
Varun ShettyAugust 22, 2014
Pay $11 for "the Dennis" - chicken cutlet, mozzarella, prosciutto. It weighs about 5 pounds and will last you 2 meals.
Joseph HigginsApril 18, 2013
Get the Dennis sandwich for lunch. You won't be disappointed. I hear great things about the breakfast sandwiches... I'm about to try one.
Yifen JDecember 10, 2013
LARGE sandwiches. If you really wanted to you could prob. split into two meals. Crazy lunch rush, so come either before or after...
Annie ParkApril 20, 2017
Literally the best sandwiches in the world, best semolina loaves
Eric HoJune 17, 2016
The Dennis is the best sandwich in NYC!
Robert AccetturaJanuary 21, 2020
Don't go too late in the day as they can run out. Also cash only.
JJJuly 25, 2013
Hands down best, and most affordable sandwich in SoHo, worth the wait, try the Dennis or make you're own.
Brian HerschaftJanuary 9, 2015
Go for the Dennis and swap the tomatoes for roasted red peppers. Pencil in a "post meal nap" on your calendar after eating this baby!
Erin SparlingJuly 18, 2015
The smoked mozzarella and sundries tomato sandwich is one of my favorite vegetarian lunches in the city.
AlexAugust 13, 2012
Amazing sandwiches. Highly recommend the Dennis, but with roasted peppers instead of tomatoes. Bring your back-up stomach though!
HuffPostJuly 6, 2010
Huge, delicious sandwiches. Try "The Dennis" - they will at first deny its existence but eventually give in and serve up a beautiful blend of chicken, prosciutto, and mozzarella. Read more
Steph CrudeleJuly 8, 2016
Old school New York deli, just the way it should be. Huge, quality heroes.
Phillip LamMarch 15, 2010
Awesome sandwiches. Get the food and head around the corner and eat it in the park. If you want, you can go right across the street from park and get Pinkberry for dessert!
Jay LNovember 3, 2014
The Dennis!!! Juicy chicken cutlets with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto w pesto on supa fresh bread
Alex GodinJuly 17, 2014
Get the Dennis. One sandwich is enough for 2 people (and amazing)
Tara DeVincenzoFebruary 9, 2016
the Dennis, but swap the tomato for roasted red peppers. please just trust me.
CM SJuly 15, 2013
Definitely order something off-the-menu. I enjoyed the Dennis. But maybe share it with a friend.
Jonathan SmolinFebruary 15, 2012
Try the Chicken Cutlet With Fresh Mozzarella And Roasted Peppers - The biggest and baddest sandwich out there

Get the Dennis, but prepare to share.

Hands down the best, most gigantic sandwiches in SoHo. Get there before noon though; the line gets very long.
Nick BurtoApril 6, 2015
The Eggplant Parm was a bit of a mess and not the most flavoursome. I'll be back to try the other sandos before writing it off.
David BrahlerAugust 26, 2015
Get the Dennis. While eating it play Oh Yeah by Yellow (Day Bow Bow). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYGngLcS0u4
Kathryn DJuly 7, 2018
Might not seem veggie friendly, but they make a mean mozz plus peppers sandwich.
Ricky GilbertNovember 9, 2013
Look at the picture of the Dennis - enough said!
catherine paoOctober 16, 2015
lemongrass chicken + rice platter is delicious!
Howard WongDecember 9, 2011
One of the best Italian sandwiches in the city. A sub can feed two people. Be warned
Dave BrandJanuary 9, 2016
Amazing sandwiches. Huge so share with a friend.
Matthew BOctober 21, 2017
Any of the sandwiches
Matt HargraveFebruary 17, 2014
The Dennis was good and all but it wasn't anything that amazing.
Sonny ByrdSeptember 18, 2013
On Wednesdays they have hot roast beef and gravy sandwiches. YES.
suzanne 🌶October 6, 2012
I agree with everyone-- 'The Dennis' is delicious! Come here on the weekends if you can't stand the line.
richard kashidaMay 22, 2013
The Italian combo or the Dennis is the way to go.
