DAAAYMN!!! These sandwiches are out of this world. I have their twitter bookmarked and anytime the truck is my general vicinity its DiSO's for lunch!
My favorite is the Dapper Don but you can't go wrong with any menu item.
Pro tip: call ahead and place your order.
Consistently great sandwiches. The Tony Checks ($7 for a half: Broccoli rabe, sauteed eggplant, provolone, hot cherry peppers ) I think is my favorite because the hot peppers have a really nice kick to them and the sharp provolone cheese is awesome. Check out their ice cream desert specials too!
Got the half Jimmy Shakes today on Ciabatta from the truck.
It was pretty good for a cold sandwich.
The bread could have been better though, it was a bit chewy. The description makes it sound like there's a lot of different toppings going on but i'm a but suspicious.
The size was pretty good for "half" a sandwich. Way bigger than expected.
If they toasted the sandwiches they would be WAY better…. everything is better toasted.
DiSo's Italian Sandwich Society is the only society I want to be a part of.
I've been following Diso's on twitter hoping one day I'll be able to stop by their truck for lunch. I was so excited when I was that their truck had stopped near my office!
I called in for an order and headed over about 15 minutes later. My sandwich was waiting for me and I just had to pay. It was their first day at this location so I have a feeling once word catches on, it will be getting a lot more crowded.
I had the Jimmy Two Times (Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, sautéed eggplant, sweet roasted peppers, herbed ricotta spread) on 1/2 a hero of Rustica Italian bread. Every layer melded together just perfectly.
I've been seeing DiSo's on a number of lists when looking for good sandwiches in midtown. Today I got the chance to check them out. I Loved the pro tip from one of the other yelpers to call in your order ahead of time, and that's just what I did.
I ordered a half of the Big Pauly (basically chicken parm) and a half of the Joey Shakes just for variety. Well the Joey Shakes is sitting in my fridge for dinner because the halves are so big that I was stuffed and couldn't even think about trying anything else.
So far I can say that the Big Pauly was completely satisfying and delicious. I loved the fresh basil. The chicken was cooked perfectly. It was bliss, and now I look forward to dinner… 😉
. While wandering around midtown we stumbled upon this food truck. It looked, and the menu sounded, good but we were left disappointed and, worse, HUNGRY.
Decor: It's a food truck that is painted red, so it's easy to spot (or avoid…)
Staff: The guys were cool and they took orders and made sandwiches pretty rapidly. There was a line, but it moved at a decent clip.
Food: The sandwiches all sound great when you read the menu, however, they fall short. I had the Joey Shakes and was expecting a SOLID sandwich… not quite. First of all, the bread is pretty skinny and it was HARD AS A ROCK. The fact that I still have teeth amazes me. As for the toppings/taste, it was good, there just wasn't much of it. Seriously, I think there was literally one slice of each meat on the sandwich and that is it. Needless to say, after consuming a full hoagie from them I am back out wandering the streets looking for lunch.
Value: For what you get (size and quality wise) this truck is a rip-off. I spent $11.50 and was not satisfied on any level. In fact, when I compare it to a place like Cranberry Cafe (which is just a few streets away), where I can get a sandwich that is twice the size (literally), a bag of chips and a drink and still have $2 in my pocket… I'm amazed.
There is no way I'll be returning to this truck. That is, not unless the fix the problems I've stated above.
Yummm. If ever you're in the mood for an authentic Italian sandwich, look no further! DiSo's always uses fresh ingredients and amazing bread (which is critical for the perfect Italian sandwich). I'm a fan of the Jimmy Two Time on the focaccia half. Super filing and delicious sandwich for under $11. Quality is that of an A&S or Pastosa's, so good. Definitely worth checking out if the truck is nearby!
Well to be honest in Shania Twain's words "That don't impress me much"
Ya I get it their meats come from "Di Palo" so why are we crazed bout DiSo's, one could say they bring the meats to you but ehhh… I tried their own product "The Fonz" fried chicken cutlet sandwich and that was exactly what it was a fried chicken cutlet sandwich. They are alrite. I could come here if they bring back the Porchetta (from Di Palo's)
