When you think of the state of Delaware, what comes to mind? It’s the second smallest state in the U.S. and not too many folks live there (the least populated state), but there’s a popular sandwich shop chain that’s been bedazzling customers since 1976.
Come January 2023, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is opening in Tucson, making it the city’s very first location at 1830 E. Broadway Blvd. The unit found in the same strip as Sushi Cho previously housed a Sprint store.
The restaurant’s signature sandwich is known as the Bobbie and comes with turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayonnaise — it’s practically Thanksgiving smushed between two buns. In fact, this particular sandwich has gotten national recognition as one of the best sandwiches in the country.
The restaurant has come a long way since its beginnings in Delaware. There are more than 110 locations nationwide and five of those are in the Phoenix area.
Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is located at 1830 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, visit capriottis.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
