Amato's Xpress - STOWE

This may not be immediately apparent when you check their website, but this is a counter within a gas station run by a high school dropout. Even with our expectations now significantly lowered, the food was terrible. The pizza was cafeteria food heated in a toy pizza oven. The sandwich bread was disgusting. Too bad, because the sandwiches were only minimally filled with cold cuts and cheese, meaning they 're grossly overpriced. The cook looked completely clueless, got the order half wrong, didn 't know what 's in the sandwiches he 's making, and admitted himself that he 's bad at making sandwiches. He 's not good at making pizzas either. Stop to fill up your tank if you must but leave as fast as you can.

Stopped in here for an Italian sub sandwich and was surprised to find it so tasty and satisfying. We wanted something a bit lighter than we'd been eating and it was the perfect choice.

Very convenient, I'll give them that. Staff are friendly and they offer most everything you might need on the road.Breakfast sandwiches or pizza, etc. that is out under the lights are usually dry and pretty tasteless. Not worth it. If you have a few extra minutes, it's worth ordering fresh from the deli. Not spectacular, but better. Also, you can find much fresher, and maybe less expensive pastries at other places very close by in Stowe.
