Got takeout the other day. 2 baptized beef sandwiches - 1 with sweet peppers/1 with mozz. Also got the beef & sausage bowl. Sandwiches were very tasty and the beef was tender. I enjoyed them...

Last time I'm ordering from here. This is the third chance. The sausage on my beef combo was so bad it had to be old, it was inedible.
