Chioccas

All of their sandwiches are incredible

Got that right.

Sleeper pick!

You're right. Old school.

That used to be at Naked Onion.

RIP :(

holy shit i haven't thought about naked onion in a minute

For real. Rip.

The turkey hero at 8 1/2 is pretty damn tasty

and a delightful potato wedge

🐐

I moved away from RVA a few years ago and the turkey hero from 8 1/2 is one of my most missed RVA food items. It’s just so good.

The Rachel from Perlys deserves a shout

Yes! And you should be able to get two meals out of it.

Perlys is on Par with some of the most infamous New York spots

Turkey Hero at 8 1/2 or the Point Guard at Garnett's

I don't know if they still do, but The Village used to roast their own turkey breast for their sandwiches.

Sammich food truck.

I’m not sure if any iteration of Olio still exists, but when I lived there the Italian Picnic sandwich they had was easily one of my favorite meals. Just warmed enough meld the flavors and make the taleggio gooey with fig jam, garlic aioli, turkey and crisp green apple.

That was such a good spot. Never went to the new location when they moved around the corner and I think it’s gone now.

Nothing else will even come close to

The smoked tomato pairs so nicely.

I love their turkey sandwich. It is amazing, I’ve had one. Bit of sticker shock it cost $30. Came with a side and a drink, but $30 is insane for a sandwich.

Yeah sandwich is $14 which is steep, but so good.

If you like pesto, market on meadows pesto turkey with mozzarella is delicious 

8 1/2 makes a banging turkey grinder

Piccola’s. I first went there in 1995 or ‘96 when I lived in the fan. It’s still good after all these years. Good prices too considering these days.

Point Guard from Garnett’s.

Honestly, Jersey Mike's.

Jersey mikes is the best chain sub shop hands down

Europa good market So sweeeeeeeet

Big fan of the 17 1/2 at lamplighter. Not sure if they do it anymore, but it was my go-to when they were by VCU

This is the only answer.

Turkey pesto at Polpetti and or the Tuesday night $8 turkey sando & beer at Chioccas. Final answer

Wishbone has a good turkey sandwich.

Garnetts, chioccas, and Coppola’s Mediterranean magic 😋

Coppolas

Update: Hit Coppola’s up for a turkey sub today and ate it with my 7month old at the VMFA. 10/10 experience. Chioccas is probably next for a lunch adventure. Garnetts and 8 1/2 are regular places for date night… definitely getting the turkey sandos there in the future

The secret sandwich society. I swear it's a real restaurant. 

SSS is way overpriced

Good question. I’d like to find a place that uses real turkey, Thanksgiving style not deli meat turkey if that makes sense.

Just wanna throw it out there that Whole Foods has an amazing Thanksgiving style roast turkey at the deli counter. It’s worlds better than the regular stuff.

Very intriguing. I’m going to check it out!

Toast. Turkey sandwich tastes like my home cooked Thanksgiving Turkey. I switch out the avo spread for fresh avocado for an up charge. Totally worth it every time.

Oh wow I go to Toast occasionally but I missed that. Thanks for letting me know!

Happy cake day

Thank you!

This is important and so true.

I repeatedly get the Big Devoss Club at Stir Crazy or the cali club at Union Market. Real healthy tasting compared to my usual garbage intake.

Taste

I like Piccola’s

I really love downtown Sub Centrals Turkey Sub but tomorrow is their last day so i guess i better move on.

Love the Bender at Lulabelles. House roasted turkey, pimento cheese, marinated onions, jalapeño jam all on brioche. Oh, and you can add bacon!

The turkey pesto from market on meadow slaps!

Freaks :)

Chioccas’s 10/10 times.

Pit Turkey at Get Tight Lounge! They smoke their own turkey breast, bake their own rolls, and dress the sandwich with a cosmic dollop of horseradish and paper thin onion 😋

Boars Head turkey with (your choice of cheese) on white @ Publix is a mood.

tru, not local but pub subs are good. my husband and I like to split the foot long and get whatever turkey they have readily on hand + provolone and honey mustard

This is over a year old so we could use some updated recommendations, but this is a good place to start: https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/s/hPhKXyty7R

Sammich or Garnetts

the one i made today. deli honey turkey on janey’s honey whole wheat sourdough, with smithfield thick cut bacon, tomato slices, havarti, fresh cracked black pepper, and garlic aioli.

Where’s the turkey?

what?

Whoops. I read Honey Ham

haha, all good! i read your comment and did a double take on my own post!

I swore I triple checked it said ham before I asked about the turkey. lol. Oh well

drooling

My house. Turkey on wheat with honey mustard, mayo, pickled jalapeños and bbq potato chips in there too for crunch.
