Papi’s is reinventing what the south thinks of sandwiches. Through a combination of Philly roots and thoughtfully crafted ingredients, our sandwiches are made with intention. No need to have an extravagant incomprehensible jumble of mush. What’s needed is familiar food done right.
We’re something that people see as a treat to themselves, the relief on a busy day, or a compliment to a nightcap. But let’s not overthink it, we’re simply here to raise the standard of what people expect.
By focusing entirely on cold sandwiches, we take pride in nailing the classics by perfecting the basics. Putting it bluntly, anyone can make a hoagie. What differentiates Papi’s is the care we take in creating something that makes sense.

Italian sandwich was pretty good, but the bread was horrible: it was a cold hoagie roll that was straight from the grocery store. If you want to be an Italian sandwich joint, the bread is the most important part. I really hope these guys work with a local bakery to change out the bread, because until they do, I won’t be going back.

Perfect sandwich. Cold meats, thin mild onions, beautiful cracked pepper on top, vinaigrette on the side so it doesn’t get soggy.

Really good place the roast beast was excellent. The honey mustard delicious. The only thing I wasn’t much of a fan was the amount of lettuce. If you love lettuce it will he perfect. I will definitely eat again. Great job guys.

I live right by this truck and it’s been my go to for delicious sandwiches that remain fair priced and consistently good. I’ve tried almost every sandwich on the menu but my favorite is the Italian. Try it with spicy relish!! The guys who work there are always incredibly nice and give a treat to my dog whenever I come by. I’ve never seen them skimp on meat (see photo) or veggies and the sandwiches are always filling and delicious with very fresh ingredients! The best deal in town as the sandwiches are only $10 each and can be made into wraps upon request. Definitely stop by and give them a try!

I really want to like Papi’s. There are *a lot* of very enthusiastic reviews here, so chances are I just got unlucky; that said, my experience did not live up to the hype. I ordered the Italian at 2:30pm on a Thursday—Manny was super friendly and threw in a side of relish for me to try. I’m really glad he did because it was tasty and saved an otherwise depressingly dry sandwich. I, too, am from the Midwest and appreciate a good hoagie. My sandwich was not a good hoagie. If you’re going to make a sandwich 50% bread (see pics, mine was), it cannot leave your mouth dry after every bite (mine did). It kills me, because I really want to like this place. Food trucks are a brutal game.

Delicious east coast style sandwiches. Owners are super friendly and located in Arbor which is always a plus. We all know finding a good sandwich in Austin is harder than it should be, but these hit.

Papi’s is a straightforward deli stop that you won’t regret hitting up. I ordered the turkey sandwich and found myself transported back in time – I don’t have a distinct memory of turkey sandwiches as a child, but if I did, they would taste like Papi’s. Classic.

Worked with Matt at Papi’s for a catering order for a pool day. It was super easy, got to make a few adjustments & the order was ready right on time. They even have a delivery option for catering orders. Highly recommend Papi’s for your next event!!

The best sandwiches. Each time is a treat. Consistency off the charts. Made fast and made good. My gf loved the sustainable vegetarian option and I typically get the Italian! Do yourself a favor and check it out.

This place is awesome! The sandwich was huge and reasonably priced. I ordered the Italian dressed and it was fantastic. Literally the best sandwich I’ve had all year. They’re right across the street from Outer Heaven Disco Club so I’ll definitely be coming back. Love Papis
