D'Angelo History

D’Angelo originally opened its doors as Ma Riva's Sub Shop on March 1, 1967, in Dedham, Massachusetts. The philosophy was simple: put the best quality meats, cheeses and toppings in the freshest breads and serve it friendly and fast.

Over the years, D'Angelo has remained New England’s favorite chain of sandwich shops by keeping it simple. All our Plain Great sandwiches, salads, wraps and pokkets® are made to order. Today, the D'Angelo menu includes over 44 sandwiches as well as a variety of hearty soups and fresh-made salads.

In August 1997, Papa Gino's Holdings Corporation, the parent company of Papa Gino's, acquired D'Angelo, creating an unparalleled combination in the quick service restaurant industry.

Together, D'Angelo and Papa Gino's share a commitment to provide high-quality products; attentive service; clean, convenient, attractive restaurants, and a premium value for every guest. With almost 200 D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches restaurants and nearly 170 Papa Gino's restaurants, we serve over 13 million guests annually, enjoying tremendous loyalty from both employees and guests.
