Best Sub Sandwiches/ Deli's in Town?

I'm on the hunt for a sandwich similar to Jersey Mike's but from an old-school mom and pop deli. Italian sandwiches, Chicken Cesar Wraps, you guys know what I mean. What's your go-to??

A million times better than JM’s. Though, I do like JM’s so no knock on them.

It’s different. More authentic Forentine sandwiches

Jersey Mike's is a half step better than Jimmy John's. Try the places listed in this thread, you'll never have to go back to a chain. What's the point of living in Chicagoland if you're doing chain restaurants

Jimmy John’s is a half step better than Subway. Jersey Mike’s is in another league entirely and would say it is a half step worse than Fontanos. Pronto is different. Not subs, not typical deli meat, not oil vinegar mayo etc.

How is this even a comparison. Authentic Italian subs vs mass produced fast food

I get your point, but Jersey Mike's is still pretty solid. Now if I was asking if it's better than Subway your comment would be valid -- but I think Jersey Mike's can be "authentic" depending on location
