Been going here for quite some time. SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF.

Just a pleasure to interact with. Tasty subs and not too pricy.

Cons of this place: cramped parking. When busy it's very difficult to get in and out of there.

Cramped building, and can get awkward waiting in line with so many folks in there.

Also - their website is not updated and their menu got taken down. I also really wish there was online ordering.

The sandwiches from this place are really good. Pizza taste great. This place can get busy during lunch, so if u like their homemade braided rolls, make sure u call early enough to get one.

Hearty portions, very tasty, quick service for pickup. Portions actually larger than expected for the price. Wrap was gigantic, onion rings were awesome. Heads up though, prices on google maps are not accurate, but still reasonable for the portion size. Hello Aj, update those prices!

I had a Cheeseburger meal and OMG! It was the Best cheeseburger ever. I would give it more than five ⭐️‘S if possible. Everything was perfect, the bread was exactly the way I like it. The fries were cooked perfectly.
AJ, You nailed it! Keep up the good work, I will definitely be back.

Here's the thing - pizza and calzones are the people's food in Italy - it's simple, humble ingredients. So why AJ's Kitchen thinks charging $32 for a large deli ham and cheese calzone makes sense is beyond me. Especially when they used to charge $20.99 for the same item. I can make the exact same thing at home for about $15...less if I make the dough myself. Probably will next time.

LOVE this place! Everything from the Buffalo tenders to their calzones are amazing. Great place if you’re looking for a quick week night dinner! I love how they give you a call when they put your food in the oven so you can pick it up right as it’s ready so it’s always fresh and warm!

Love this little deli. Excellent sandwiches. The one with prosciutto, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar is most excellent as is the veggie. Heck, nothing we've had is less than good, most are great. For quick lunch service, call ahead and order first. Locals know this place is good and it's accordingly busy at lunch! Limited seating and small parking lot.

My work orders for office often due to close proximity. I'd say over the past few years it's 75/25 if whole order is right. Today for instance ordered Steak & Cheese extra cheese. What I got was a Steak Bomb. If I wanted peppers and onions, etc I would have ordered it. Now, can I leave work again and get the right order? No, please do better. I'll be pretty hungry when I get home tonight. Thanks a lot

Fantastic combo of tasty food to go, low prices and friendly service! The sub rolls are made fresh. It's all about the Italian sub and onion rings, and big range of sodas!

I have been here a few times prior to covid and had zero issues and perfect food. I went for an in house order and waited from beginning to end 8 mins. Pretty quick. But to their process I will never go back. When ordering inside you have a clear view of the kitchen staff. I had gotten there 45 mins after they opened. The staff in the front wore their masks and gloves and stayed apart from one another the best they could. The kitchen staff can't be bothered to wear any of their masks properly. NONE OF THEM WORE GLOVES. There is a sign for drivers to wash their hands prior to going out back

I have been ordering from AJ's kitchen for ages. Tonight I attempted to order and they declined my order saying it had to be at least $15.00. Mind you the distance is 1.7 miles. I always tipped the drivers decent and at work we have ordered plenty from Aj's.

They forgot their customer base that was loyal to them even through the pandemic. I will never do business with them again.

Great food and staff is super friendly! I think they might even make their own bread in house. Definitely a Gem!

Grilled chicken salad with creamy Italian dressing and toasted ravioli are my go-to items at this place. Their salads are so fresh and the bread that comes with it- delicious!!!! Their pizza is awesome too!

Great in-house made rolls and bread for their sandwiches and subs. If it isn't from scratch you'd never know, very good.

I always try to make an effort to sample what the locals eat.
This small place is located in a working-class neighborhood.
I found it on the web and decided to give it a try.

I ordered Ziti with meatballs. The sauce was thick with gusto, as one expects from slow-cooking totato sauce. It's a bit on the salty side (to me), perhaps it's something a tired body needs after a long day of toiling.

I observed that most of the patrons are the take-out kind. If one needs a quick dinner after a long day at work, this is definitely a good place to stop by. In that regard it deserves 4 *.

Maybe it is due to the bride not asking specific questions, or maybe it is just the caterer. But if you are catering an event, you would think that serving utensils would accompany the chaffing dishes along with sterno's. But what am I to say. I have 100 guests waiting. If I could rank a negative star I would. How livid and embarrassing.

Had seen a AJ's on Phantom Gourmet and heard locally it was fantastic so I was in the area and decided to phone in a BBQ chicken in a wheat wrap.

When I arrived a very lovely young lady at the counter greeted me and my wrap was already ready. Services is extremely friendly and efficient, excellent value ($8.99 for the wrap).

The wrap was thin (which I prefer) but held everything nicely, chicken was SO tender & perfectly cooked not to mention generous, perfect amount of sauce, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. The bonus - the slices of bacon, which I've never had in a bbq chicken

I've spent somewhere between $900-$1k here in the last 6 weeks between a family party, work events, and regular ordering... The food is good but this place is money hungry. The first $300 order, I was supposed to get a free pizza and didn't. The delivery guy said he'd talk to them, never heard a thing back. When I placed the second order which cost $400, I inquired about the online promo for buy 4 pizzas and get one free (I didn't have the coupon which I should have but still could bring because the order hasn't gone through yet) and she said "And I'll ask about

I haven't had the pizza yet, but I have had the Fat Candy sub. The bread is very good although it was a bit soggy when I unwrapped the sub from my takeout order. Chicken was pinkish colored (from the Boom Boom sauce) and a little sweet. The pizza pockets were pretty good, superior to many of AJ's rivals. Excited to come back and try the pizza pies.

Discovered AJ's today. My daughter and I had dinner. We got 2 subs, Italian and steak & cheese with a fries. Friendly staff. They were doing a ton of takeouts. This place makes their own breads and even sells jarred marinara sauce! Plus 2 stars for that! A calzone eating challenge 1 star! Great italian sub loaded with fresh coldcuts! I will back for some pizza! Check them out. You wont be dissapointed.
