We ordered subs from Leo's for lunch. I didn't get any pics that day, but the bread was sooo good we ordered 25 buns to make 50 half sandwiches for a wedding party two days later. They were a big hit and everyone loved the rolls!

Can you find a decent hoagie/cheesesteak in Central PA? You can if you go to Leo's. I've visited Leo's 4 times now and each time the food has been outstanding. Hoagies have a nice balance of meat/bread/toppings. Generous amounts, but not the overstuffed, overpriced, over-the-top nonsense you find in some places around Philly. I had the cheesesteak yesterday and it was amazing. Very well seasoned and just the right amount of blended Cooper Sharp. I believe they make their own rolls and they are very good - medium density with a little bit of crust. Perfect for the cheesesteak, maybe a tad soft for the hoagie, but I'm nitpicking. Prices were quite reasonable. Around 9 for a regular and 17 for a large. We chatted with the owner, Lori, for several minutes and she was delightful. The business was started by her father 33 years ago and she obviously cares about her customers.

My first experience here was a good one. Lots of meat on the wraps and sandwiches. Very fair prices. Good quality ingredients. Everything is made fresh. Will definitely be back. So far after only just 1 visit, this is one of my favorite places to eat. The atmosphere is calm, cool, and relaxing as well. Check it out for yourself!

Quality food right here. Delicious bread, salads, deli meats and cheeses, and baked goods. All that with a nice warm Italiano feel. I would have taken pictures of the wonderful food but it was devoured too quickly.

Some of the most delicious sandwiches I have ever tried. The “Fresh Mozzarella” is an absolute must.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and found this to be so charming and delightful. The "small" turkey club panini had 2" of turkey on it, and overflowing from the bread! The staff were really kind and helpful. We didn't wait long at all for service or food. And we found some reasonably priced Italian food items to take home and try in our own kitchen. Highly recommend!
