I agree. Every neighborhood in the Philadelphia area is loaded with
good, local sandwich/pizza shops. Competition is fierce so prices stay
relatively low and if you don't have a good product, you don't last long.

Pat's and Geno's in Philadelphia get a lot of press, but there are many
local places that blow them away.
