The first Jerry's Subs opened in Wheaton, Maryland, in 1954, selling over-stuffed submarine sandwiches and New York-style pizza. Since it started franchising in 1980, the company has grown to include locations along the East Coast, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Lino family migrated to the neighborhood from
Brooklyn New York many years ago, bringing with them a sense of pride and tradition along with authentic
recipes developed by Filomena Lino, with the dream of opening a New York-style pizzeria.
