My family has been coming to Mangialardo’s for generations. It’s a very special place to me and my Mother and we share our love for it.

The G-Man is the best sandwich in DC and probably will be for as long as it’s around - and for the sake of future generations, I hope that’s for a very long time!

Review #1001!

This is honestly the best sub shop in the world!!! Always such great friendly service and amazing subs!! The G Man is the way to go, with extra cheese, everything with hots, on a soft roll. Salt and pepper chips with a cream soda. Just saying it’s the best way to go!!

All you get from me is a photo of the sandwich that I just finished. I forgot to take one before because of how excited I was to eat another one of these sandwiches. I’ve had the turkey, G man, Italian and pizza and haven’t had a sub that didn’t blow my mind yet. Stop reading this review and head over now

Went here after it popped up as one of the best places to grab a sandwich! Lunch crowd gets pretty busy. They ask if you want hard or soft bread (there’s a difference!) so I went with hard bc yeah never been asked that. I could barely like chew the hard break. 4/10 for me on the bread for sure. Idk if it was like too hard or idk stale but like obv sandwich ruined.
I’ll have to go back and try the soft bread. Wish they had a bit more toppings. Got a turkey sandwich and may have to run the visit back.

If finding an excellent Italian sub and supporting a long-standing small business is your goal - look no further. The cold cut sub was delicious. Fresh Italian meats and toppings on the soft roll perfecto. Simple online ordering and pick up. The staff are friendly and we will definitely go back!

The best sandwich in DC, hands down. Absolutely consistent from one visit to the next, even years apart. Fast and always pleasant service. Amazing value. On a hard roll, the sandwich keeps quite well until dinner — we’ve taken them for an evening picnic before a show at Wolf Trap. I assume the hard roll would also keep till the next day, but I’ve never known anyone to have leftovers. Carry out ONLY. No seating.

I just ordered a turkey and cheese sub on a hard roll! I am so disappointed of the sub I received! If you ever had a sub from Mangialardo's you know they are known for serving generous portions of meat on their subs! This was unlike any sub I had from there before! The meat was such a small amount you barely could see it between the sub roll. It was just thrown together! I have a cousin that lives next door to the location and sent him pictures. He went next door and showed the manager pictures. I asked is this how the subs are made now. The manager responded this is how we always made our subs 4 ounces of turkey! Remind you I been eating there for over 30 years and never had such a skimp sub! Like I said if you been there before you know! Therefore I would've rather heard him say that's the way we make subs now with 4 ounces of turkey! But instead he lied unless the scale need to be calibrated! Lol well they just lost a life long customer and I'm sure they will lose more! Gallo's Italian Grocery and Carryout here I come! 6342 Marlboro Pike District Heights MD. 20747. I will recommend this sub shop to anyone who still want continued great service and good food! I was there a week ago amd they still give generous portions of meat! On my next visit there I'll be sure to come back to this page and post a picture of the sub I get from there then you can see the comparison!! SMH so disappointed with Mangialardo's! Oh and they only received 1 star because I had to!

Today was one of my worse experiences here. I found the longest piece of hair in between my cheese. It absolutely turned my stomach. I usually love this place but I know sometimes the employees lack in their hygiene but THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! I’m still gagging from the thought of it!! Who’s DNA touched my TONGUE???

A friend told me to stop here when I moved to DC. I’m sad I didn’t make the trip sooner. The “G” Man is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I will absolutely be making a better effort to get over here frequently.

This was by far the best sandwich Ive had in DC to date! Everything was so fresh and the bread was perfect. The potato salad was good and the brownie was an excellent end. We will be back!

I’ve been coming here for 15 years and have Never Been disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly and the subs are absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Big G. I live in Las Vegas, NV now and absolutely nothing compares to these fresh, tasty, overstuffed sandwiches. I miss this place and make it a point to get there every time I return to DC. I wish the owner would open a store here in Vegas. He’d make A MINT!!! I’ve tried every sandwich on the menus and they are all delicious. Take your friends and family!

Well I heard of Mangialardos & Sons Inc. A while ago through social media. My husband and I decided to stop by at this deli to order our subs before we started to walk around Washington DC.

At first it was really hard to find parking, on top of that we saw some constructions going on around the area.

After driving around we found parking, and we walked to Mangialardos. The place is really small but just big enough to order and go.

I knew that I wanted the 'G Man Sub' this one is highly recommended among other customers and social media posts.

My husband ordered the 'Roast Beef and Cheese' sandwich.

In my opinion the service is average and the guy didn't seem to have much patience when asking questions. It was our first time there and we came from Virginia to try this place out. Since I lived in NYC for over a decade I was familiar with subs.

I took some photos of the place though there's nothing interesting about the interior.
A bunch of boxes of supplies in one corner, customers have to stand waiting for the orders. Not even a little bench to sit and wait, let alone eat.

You pay the cashier briefly, zip in and zip out. I know it's old-school, family-owned Italian shop that has been in this location since 1953.

In my opinion the sandwiches are average for the price. My husband didn't feel he got a value for what either of us paid; esp the roast beef sandwich is much too small and there's nothing on it besides a little cheese and a few peppers.

My 'G Man' sub wasn't as tasty as it could be. Maybe for those customers around the area the sandwiches are good and better than nothing. But for someone who is familiar with authentic Italian and gourmet sandwiches from NYC, one will notice the difference with disappointment.

It's not worth the trip and the hours are horrible from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm closing Saturday and Sunday.

Awesome subs, as others have said, G Man is the way to go. Everything is fresh and thick cut for the meat and cheese. The fontina is a great cheese. Super fast, friendly, and good value. It’s often packed in here for good reason. Thank you!

The G-Man is the sandwich to get. The only decision is soft or hard roll. I prefer soft so I don't have to fight my sandwich while I'm eating it. It's really the civilized choice. The owner hasn't changed in years. I'm glad they now accept cards. Best sandwich in DC.
