Penna’s Italian Market (545 North Bethlehem Pike, Spring House) was named one of the “25 Essential Hoagie Shops” in the Philadelphia region in the February 2023 issue of Philadelphia Magazine. It was the only hoagie shop in Montgomery County to make the list. The article is behind a paywall, so you will have to spend a few bucks to learn about all the hoagies.

In praising Penna’s Italian Market, the article states: If a deli doesn’t shimmer with the ancient patina of oil-and-vin, can you trust it to make a great hoagie? Penna’s proves you can. This gleaming cathedral of Italian American delicacies opened in 2021 with a long lineup of hoagies built on rolls from Norristown’s century-old Corropolese Bakery.
