The Hornet's Nest Sub Shop

David it was a pleasure meeting you & your staff. The steak bomb 💣 without the salami was delicious not salty and premium quality ingredients especially the meat, very good bread as well. I & my daughter shared it & loved it. Honestly was one of the best I've ever ate & I've tried alot. The ranch wrap was great as well my girlfriend loved it so much she ate the whole thing. I was surprised due to its size it was a big meal. Little man ate ham & cheese and kept saying he loved everything about it I'm not pulling your chain thanks for that again. Your staff and yourself are very welcoming we enjoyed the hospitality. Your store was very clean & well put together with a great menu selection of unseen choices you dont really see around. We will be back for sure. God bless you once again from your friend that thanks you again 🙏

These guys are AWESOME! I've worked in Reading/North Reading for 4 years and I finally got over here. First of all, the guys working here are hilarious. I spent more time chatting with them than I did eating my food haha. Their bread is homemade and phenomenal. Steak bomb is my go to. Two days in a row and I'll be back at least twice a week. Keep up the great work guys!

I got there absolutely outstanding steak bomb, and while I was waiting I ordered a slice of pizza which was delicious I'm going to have to go back and order a whole pie, super friendly and fast service.

Have to admit,I was pleasantly surprised here. "Chicken Bomb" sub was out of this world. My 9 y.o daughter said it was "the best sub she has ever had. We did go back a 2nd time to try their "steak bomb" sub also. I thought it was pretty good,however my daughter took 1 bite&was not impressed.

Fantastic pizza, even better service. Will definitely be coming back.

While the AC wasn't cool like I hoped in this hot July afternoon, the food more than made up for it. The pizza was delicious, the salad crisp and tasty, and the chicken salad excellent. The star that store the show however, was the homemade, hot and fresh from the oven sub rolls - simply amazing! Super nice staff too.

Hornets nest is the best pizza I’ve ever had! Love this place! Family owned! Dave the owner is so nice and personable! My son did a pizza review when he was one and a half and it’s still his favorite pizza! He hates it on Sundays when they’re closed! I wish I could post the video of my son devouring his pizza even the crust! Also, the best subs around too not just the pizza!

I would definitely recommend the super beef. ( I get mine with sauce and onion no cheese) Well crafted with a ton of flavor. Service was great and fast. Would recommend and will be back.

Food is amazing. Service was so friendly. I give the Hornets Nest an 11 out of 10!

This is eternally the best subs in North Reading and no one will tell me otherwise. They always use hand-baked sub rolls, and the freshest, high quality ingredients. They always give the right balance of portions to the sub too.

They use REAL, ITALIAN/NY york style hand tossed crust on the pizza, which is like breaded/seasoned underneath, none of that oily Greek style pancake crust garbage which is everywhere in NE, much to the dismay of anyone with good taste.

It has a unique flair to all of its food items which practically every person who moved out of North Reading tells me they missed.

Fresh bread really makes a difference! It was a nice touch to what was already a great steak bomb. Loved the buffalo mozzarella sticks, too. Prices were a bit hefty, be warned.

Large cheese pizza was cooked perfectly and it was absolutely delicious. I definitely would recommend this place to my friends and family. Very friendly people and great food. I highly recommend them for all foods

Best sub shop on the North Shore. Amazing selection of delicious and unique sandwiches as well as all the classics everyone loves. High quality ingredients in everything they make. The owner, Dave, makes all of his own sauces and dressings from scratch and they are incredible.

Favorites:

- The Lightning (cheesesteak with fries and homemade buffalo sauce)
- Italian
- Chicken Caesar Wrap

The fresh roast beef competes with any roast beef shop in the surrounding area. Really good pizza as well.

We're here from PA. Googled places to eat. Thank you, Google!!!! These were the BEST hoagies. My husband had the Buzz which was awesome - I know because I tried a bite. I had the Italian with onion and hots. And our picky son went with ham and cheese. Nary a complaint, which says ALOT!! The bread was delicious, crusty and chewy. The owner also let us try the pizza. OMG. We will be stopping in before we head home for a pie and I'm going to get a #10 from the Stinger menu!! Thank you for a great meal and visit!!

I've been visiting my favorite sub shop for over 20 years! They put attention into every sandwich they prepare. Thank you!!

I come here once ever other week. It is my favorite place for lunch in all of North Reading. Pizza is great, but my favorite is the Chicken Cheese steak. However there cheese steak subs are hands down award winning.

Crew working were just awesome, friendly knowledgable.
The homemade buffalo sauce was honestly the best I've ever had. Sweet, spicy and not that huge hit of vinegar. Dont even get me started on the homemade bread. Still warm from the oven. Unbelievable.

The best pizza in town. Not only do they make all their own sub rolls, they also make smoothies on the spot just how you like it and they even use romaine lettuce in their salads. You will not get service and quality food like this anywhere else!

the roast beef subs are great, the bread is really fresh, i think they make their own bread every day. The people are friendly. Let's all support our local shops

This place has the best food ever the pizza is awesome the subs are incredible it’s a true gem for sure I live a bit away from here so what it’s well worth the the 45 minute drive for a pie mmmmm mmmm so good and the staff are good people as well thank you hornets nest I’m so glad I stoped in
