PrimoHoagies was selected as having the best sandwich shop in the United States during USA TODAY's 10Best 2025 Awards last Wednesday (July 16).

The New Jersey-based chain topped the annual list ranking America's best sandwich or sub shops for the third consecutive year.

"PrimoHoagies isn't just a sandwich shop — it’s an East Coast staple built on bold flavors, premium meats and cheeses, and recipes rooted in Italian American heritage. With 10 distinct categories on the menu, there's something for every craving; from the fan-favorite Italian Classics like the Sharp Italian, to Philly Cheesesteaks and signature Schwartzies, each hoagie is handcrafted to perfection. Even the Meatless options, like Nonna’s Veggies with eggplant and broccoli rabe, deliver that same Primo flavor," USA TODAY wrote.

Jason's Deli ranked second, followed by Penn Station East Coast Subs, Subway and D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. USA TODAY's full list of the top 10 best sandwich or sub shops is included below:
