Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders

The food is AMAZING! The service isn’t very fast but the food is just delicious. If you have some time to wait and double check your order it’s definitely a good place to stop for a delicious sandwich

Four stars for the subs (a Tuscan Chicken and the house-​special Italian Grinder), two stars for the service. The two guys working there around lunchtime were about as unfriendly and unpleasant as possible, though at least one of them did come over near the end of the meal to ask how everything was.

Back in my IU days, I worked at a Mancino’s, which is basically the same thing as Bellacino’s. Maybe I was just always broke and hungry in college, so I appreciated the «delicacy» and hugeness of a grinder more then, but these places have never lived up to what they once were for me. I had the A1 steak grinder, which was good, but I was a bit sick of the A1 sauce when I finished eating it.
If you led me to a strip mall with Subway, Quizno’s, Jimmy John’s and Bellacino’s, I’d probably pick Bellacino’s ⁸⁄₁₀ times. Maybe I’ve just eaten at Bellacino’s/Mancino’s too often in my life, but the food is definitely losing it’s luster.
A word of advice… here is the best sandwich I’ve had on the menu:
–Italian Combo minus the onions add black olives and jalepenos
Thank me later.
