Fiorello Bakery & Deli

Ordered from: Fiorello Bakery & Deli

Veggie Sub (Large), with: Swiss cheese, banana peppers, mayo, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and sun dried tomatoes (ed note: someone really likes tomatoes).
Chicken Salad Sub (Large), with: Lettuce.
($21.57 plus tax and tip)

NHam: I got the chicken salad sub. It's good. I'm not sure I have a lot to say here; Fiorello's is basically a deli that delivers, so the menu isn't as huge as some of these other places - subs, wraps, soup and salads. I've had the chicken salad sub from them twice, and it's very good each time. (One advantage of a sub over the triple-decker from last time is that the chicken salad doesn't fall out, although it doesn't feel as classy.)  If you NEED a great deli sandwich and you're too lazy to drive, you can't go wrong ordering from here.

Would I order again: I already have!

KHam: It was good. Odd taste, but good. The sun dried tomatoes may not have been unnecessary, but how many places actually let you pick that as an option? I figured I had to go for it. There's not much else to say about a veggie sub. It was good? There was a little too much bread. That's okay.

Would I order again: Yes!

Gourmella's Pizzeria & Deli

Ordered from: Gourmella's Pizzeria & Deli

The Florence (with French Fries) - chicken salad sandwhich with lettuce, tomato, and bacon
Grilled Cheese (on White)
Spaghetti
Garlic Bread (Small)

$28.82 with tax and tip (palindromical!)

KHam: I got the spaghetti. I'm trying to think of something to say. Um. I mean, the spaghetti was good, it tasted like they cooked it in a pan and it had a different flavor to it. That's all I have to say :X

Would I order again: Yes.

NHam: It's always a good sign when the place you order from has good fries; as I keep saying, it's the hardest thing to get right with delivery food, and these were great. Of course, the fries were just a side to the real star, the "Florence" - triple-decker (!) chicken salad sandwhich on toast. Felt very fancy. Tasted great, too, the bacon and lettuce were nice, and  my only complaint about it is that there was a little too much chicken salad on it (some fell out after a few bites which was a little messy). That's a good problem to have. I also got the grilled cheese, which was fine and well-grilled the way I like it; I don't have much to say here as I got this because we hadn't eaten all day and I was really hungry. Overall, I was very pleased - when all I can complain about is having too much of the main attraction you're in great shape.

Would I order again: Most definitively.

D.P. Dough

Ordered from: D.P. Dough

Your Mom (the wrap)
Construction Zone (make your own calzone) - tomato, onion, potato, garlic

KHam: Ehhhhhhhhh. The vegetables didn't taste cooked; It seemed like chopped up vegetables stuffed in a pizza crust. It's a testament to how unremarkable the sauce that I can't even think of words to describe how it tasted. I'm disappointed, we got this before and I swear liking it before because we ordered it several times. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day.

Would I order again: I might give them another shot in a couple months.

NHam: I got "Your Mom" - don't ask me why lettuce, bacon, chicken, and ranch is someone's mom. Also, they were out of bacon. (How do you run out of bacon? It's called Price Chopper.) The chicken was good and there was plenty of ranch, but I got two bites of lettuce, then two bites of lettuce and chicken, and then two bites of chicken. So, um, I can't really recommend it. If you need a calzone, go here. Otherwise, stay clear (more like rapping thru albany.blogspot.com! -ed)

Would I order again: Uh, no.

D'Carlito Pizza

Ordered from: D'Carlito Pizza

Pasta w/ Tomato Sauce
Popcorn Chicken
French Fries
Chicken Bacon Ranch Sub
(and we got a free salad!)
$30.30 with tax and tip

KHam: The spaghetti was really good! The sauce was very nice. Good chunks of onions and other vegetables, which keeps the sauce from being too bland and just, uh. There's a good amount, and... I don't think I liked the popcorn chicken that much. It seemed a little too spicy or something. I'm sure if you're a bigger meat eater than I am it would have been fine.

Would I order again: Definitely, especially the spaghetti.

NHam: The french fries were cold, but edible (as opposed to being mush, the constant bane of delivery food). The popcorn chicken was okay, although it came - bizarrely - with marinara sauce, which KHam took for her spaghetti. (Popcorn chicken and marinara sauce? Okay. They're not bad, but I'd ask for honey mustard sauce.) Lastly, I also got the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sub, which is MEATNORMOUS. It's almost too much; Fried chicken, a ton of bacon, and as much ranch as the sub bun can hold. It's good, but man, it's really serious. I know this sounds crazy, but it could almost use less bacon (!!!!!) and maybe some lettuce. Crazy talkin', yes. It tasted really good, but I couldn't finish the whole thing. Also, the bonus salad was pretty good.

Would I order again: Sure.
