Didn't mom always say, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?" Well, I do have some nice things to say. I've posted Pennisi's here because I believe that it is an asset to the community. They have unique sandwich combinations and a large selection of deli salads. (the pasta salad is quite good) It is also a nice touch that they include an Andes chocolate mint with each sandwich. Certainly, it is a far better option for lunch than subway.
With that said, I must mention that I haven't always had good experiences with Pennisi's. My complaints are relatively minor. I don't care for the limited sandwich menu on Saturday, too narrow. Once, I was told that the deli counter was now closed, as they finished serving their "last" customer. I would understand, except the store was otherwise still open. Nothing was put away yet. Last time I went, I removed the lettuce from my sandwich. The lettuce just wasn't right. The service tends to be on the slow side, but perhaps they are just understaffed.
I realize that these are just personal gripes, but I had to mention them. Overall, and as stated previously, Pennisi's really is an asset to the community with some wonderful offerings, I've just personally had bad timing and bad luck. I would still suggest that everyone try this place for themselves, if you're in the neighborhood.
