    About D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches

    On March 1, 1967, "Ma Riva's Sub Shop" in Dedham, Massachusetts opened its doors. The philosophy was simple: put the best quality meats, cheese, and ingredients in the freshest breads, and serve it in a quick, friendly way. Later the name was changed to Angelo and then added the letter D for delicious. And D'Angelo would serve as a pioneer in lunch offerings, making it possible for guests on the go to enjoy delicious, healthy options like fresh salads and Syrian pockets, made to order. In August of 1997, Papa Gino's Holdings Corporation, the parent company of Papa Gino's, acquired D'Angelo, creating an unparalleled combination in the quick service restaurant industry. Today, the D'Angelo menu includes over 44 sandwiches as well as a variety of soups and fresh-made salads. Together, D'Angelo and Papa Gino's share a commitment to provide high-quality products, attentive service, clean, convenient, attractive restaurants, and a premium value experience for every guest. With more than 200 D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches restaurants and nearly 170 Papa Gino's restaurants, they serve more than 50 million guests every year, enjoying tremendous loyalty from both employees and guests.
