Laspada’s Hoagies Review & Menu — Fort Lauderdale

In the words of Gordon Ramsay “Wow. Wow. Wow.”

If you love a hoagie, give Laspada’s Original Hoagies in Fort Lauderdale, Florida a try! 
​

Located just a half mile (aka a pleasant 10-15 minute stroll) from our cruise port hotel, Laspada’s made up for the disappointing pizza we had the night before. 

Their first hoagie shop opened in 1972 and has expanded to 5 locations in Southern Florida, Laspada’s is worth your visit as far as we are concerned!

Laspada’s Hoagie Menu with Prices

In addition to small and large hoagies you can also order deli sandwiches which are smaller and served on a round roll, as well as a variety of side salads and salad platters. 

What’s on an original hoagie at Laspadas? 

 Tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, sweet peppers, hot peppers, oil and vinegar and seasonings on Italian or wheat bread, and provolone cheese.  Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

​Laspada’s also sells a variety of chips which are an ideal crunchy, salty companion to your delicious hoagie!

What We Ordered

For the two of us, we ordered one large hoagie, a can of pop (soda), and a bag of kettle chips.

Total with tax: $17.50

Dr Brown’s Natural Flavor Black Cherry Soda — $1.75

Dr Browns Black Cherry Soda With “Other Natural Flavors” Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, cherry and other natural flavors, citric acid, caramel color, sodium benzoate, and red 40. Gah. not red 40… 

We thought this soda was just okay. It was very sweet and we are expecting it to have a better ingredient list. $1.75 for a can of pop seemed a bit high. Is that the going rate today? We don’t usually drink much soda these days.

Dirty Potato Chips Deli Style Salt and Vinegar Kettle Style Chips — $1.70

If you want to see the ingredients on these Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips from Dirty you can see the photo below! 

Dirty Potato Chips Deli Style Salt and Vinegar Kettle Style Chips Review: We thought these chips had a nice crunch, but over all we have had better salt & vinegar chips from other brands.

Large 12″ Italian Hoagie — $12.90

Now on to the star of the show! We ordered a Large 12″ Italian Special Hoagie – Ham, Genoa, Salami, & Cappicola. 

This hoagie was loaded! The cross section is a thing of beauty – carefully constructed, strategically placed layers of freshly sliced Italian meats and toppings. 

The fresh bread had fabulous texture on the bottom.

And the bread held up exceptionally well during the eating process – nothing is worse than a bun that falls apart at the start of taking down a heft sandwich like this one.

Laspada’s Hoagies Review

A hoagie may seem like a simple thing. Some bread, “lunch meat” and cheese, maybe a bit of iceberg and a tomato?

Forget that nonsense.

A real hoagie establishment takes pride in every element from the texture at the bottom of the roll to the pillowy bread to the sliced-to-order Italian meats and fresh toppings – Laspada’s knocks it out of the park. 

I mean just look at the care going into dressing and seasoning this hoagie… 

It’s been months since I ate this hoagie, but I still think about it from time to time. Laspada’s is the kind of place I would actually make a point to return to next time I am in Fort Lauderdale for a cruise. 😉
