Critic's Review
Another day, another Classic Italian sandwich from Capriotti's. This time it was going to be for dinner; I didn't feel like cooking today. I wanted to try a new location, so I ordered from the one near Costco next to Home Depot on Sunset.I scheduled the pickup for 5:45; I wasn't going to eat this for a few hours so I ordered the salad dressing on the side. They give you a lot more when you order it on the side also.
Capriottis Marks Order
Shredded lettuce ruins an Italian. Notice I got a $2 discount. When you sign up with them you get a $2 discount. Every time I've ordered, they send you a survey and you get a $2 coupon code. The caveat is that you have to use the code within 30 days.
With no traffic on a Sunday I got here at 5:25 so I poked around Home Depot for a while before going into the store.
Capriottis Marks Inside
4 people behind the counter but no-one acknowledged me until the 2 ladies at the register were done chatting. Good think I'd ordered in advance; my order was ready when I finally got someone's attention.
When I got home I put the bag right into the fridge. I wasn't eating until 10pm. When the time to eat came, I unwrapped the sub.

A pretty substantial sandwich. I opened it up to see what's inside.

The "vinaigrette" didn't look good to me. It tasted even worse. I opted to put my own oil and vinegar on the sandwich rather than the stuff provided.

My one peeve with this place is that they don't have banana peppers; I keep a jar in my fridge.

I also have better pickles than they do; I added a couple of my own super dill pickles. The beauty of loading up with banana peppers and pickles; virtually 0 calories.
Capriottis Italian Ready
The end result was very good. Unfortunately you probably won't have the ingredients to take this sandwich to the next level, so it may not be as good.
Conclusion
Capriotti's provides a base sandwich that's pretty good; it would be better if I didn't have to add my own banana peppers and oil and vinegar. It's still pretty good out of the box; better than most other choices in the area. This was much better than what I got at Cheba Hut.
