because you went with a group of friends and you didn't want to get pizza but they did. but since you don't have any friends, op, you never run into that problem.

literally, every place in chi-town that sells hot dogs sells beefs which are on every corner. Most of them are pretty hit or miss, the big guys are big because they produce a consistent product and you know exactly what your going to get when you go there. That being said, Sammie's, Zippie's and Lukes are like the smaller big guys with just a few locations and all have their own little specialty. After that it's pretty much all one off shops.

oh, and there's not much variety. it's either red sauce and cheese or lettuce tomato and mayo.

although nancy's makes a bad ass sandwich they call a chicken club. two breasts on a sub roll smothered in some kinda garlic dressing with tomato and lettuce and then topped with cheese and bacon and put in an oven til the cheese is melted. pretty good.

I think a lot of Nancy's locations have different menus outside of the pizza. Not necessarily the most cohesive chain.

When I lived near one the only thing I tried other than pizza was the godfather sandwich which was basically an Italian beef on garlic bread with onions, peppers and mozzarella

now that you mention that, i remember the nancy's by my girlfriend's place in the city sold ribs but the one i worked at on the southside didn't

the godmother is basically a chicken parm sandwich
their sorrento sandwich is pretty good too. same as godfather but with that garlic sauce in stead of red.

I went to the one on the northwest side. They don't have any of the chicken sandwiches outside one that's listed "chicken sandwich" on the menu. The inside also looked like they just grabbed some old booths and tables from an alley somewhere.

Damn good prices though and the food wasn't bad either.

having worked at 2 other non-chain pizza places prior to working at nancy's i think their thin pizza is kinda meh, but the deep dish, stuffed and most of the kitchen stuff is pretty good shit.

First, a side story:
there's a place near my place of residence that is well known for its roast beef sandwiches. Nonetheless, their roast pork sandwiches are even better than their already awesome roast beef. Their roast beef sells like whoa merely because the place is known for roast beef though it should really be known for their roast pork. Oh well.
Near by is another place that's actually world recognised for its roast pork sandwich. It's often considered the best roast pork sandwich in the country. Oddly, that place know for its roast beef has better roast pork than this place does and most locals agree. Also odd is that the place known for its roast pork has better roast beef!
Long story short: just because you're known for one thing, doesn't mean you can't do something else better.

This reminds me of the stupid chicago pizza/casserole debate.

Just because a restaurant serves pizza doesn't mean they are a "pizza place" and therefore must only make pizza.

The "pizza place" I frequent has one style of pizza, thin crust. Yet, they have at least 15 different sandwiches, 10 or so different appetizers, 7 salads, and a slew of seafood and pasta entrees.

Seems odd the restaurant is listed amongst pizza places in the phone book, yet less than 5% of their menu is pizza.

Philly area here, most places are like that. About the only places that make sandwiches for some reason feel obliged to carry pizza and most of the time it tastes like some half-assed menu item that was tacked on just because. Sometimes the same scenario when a place specialized in pizza but carry a few sandwiches too. I can't think of many places that do both well.

Lol, the pizza place i worked as was of course KNOWN for its pizza...but they also sold salad and subs. and i gotta be honest....the subs were GOOD, the deli meats tasted better than say what you get at subway tbh and you can choose any toppings you can order on pizza so thats just about what you can get at sub places anyway. subs like meatball, grilled chicken, steak, etc obviously were frozen stuff but the quality wasnt too bad. i often got a sub over some pizza.

its not different than calling a hotdog stand a hotdog stand even though most of the menu is other shit. if i tell someone i'm going to a "pizza place" they have a general idea of what's on the menu.

if i said hey, i'm ordering from baracco's and you had no idea what baracco's was i'd tell you it was a pizza place, get it?

I suspect it is also regional but I wonder how it was elsewhere back in the day. Where I grew up pizza places only had pizza and no place that I can remember carried burgers/dogs/sandwiches as a mainstay with one or two pizzas buried in the menu.

Now I couldn't find a place that only sells pizza if my life depended on it. Last one I saw was the dominos in the late 80's. They had hand tossed crust pizza and coca cola. That's it. They slowly introduced breadsticks, then "steak sammich" (JTM patty style), then wings.
