About Primo hoagies
Crafting authentic primo hoagies with passion, premium ingredients, and three decades of Philadelphia tradition behind every sandwich we make.
Philadelphia
Where Every Hoagie
Tells a Story
"Primohoagies began as a single corner deli on Chestnut Street — a dream built on freshly sliced meats, crusty rolls, and an unwavering commitment to quality."
Founded in 1992 by the Conti family, primo hoagies quickly became Philadelphia's favorite destination for authentic Italian-style hoagies. What started as a small neighborhood shop grew into a beloved institution, celebrated for generous portions, house-made condiments, and ingredients sourced fresh every morning.
From our signature Italian hoagie — piled high with Genoa salami, capicola, and sharp provolone — to seasonal specials beloved by regulars, every sandwich we craft honors the tradition that put primohoagies on the Philadelphia food map.
- Freshly baked rolls delivered every morning from local bakeries
- Premium deli meats sliced to order — never pre-packaged
- Family recipes passed down through three generations
- Dedicated to supporting Philadelphia's local food community
