Our Story

Pennsylvania native David Tucci grew up in an Italian family where he acquired a taste for East Coast Italian subs and Philly cheesesteaks.   After moving to Austin in 1982 to get his business degree from the University of Texas, he took a job at a local sub shop where he worked his way up.  In 2008, David went out on his own and founded Tucci's Southside Subs, opening two locations.  Wanting to bring quality East Coast subs to Austin, he chose Boar's Head brand meats and cheeses and custom-made East Coast hoagie rolls from The New World Bakery.   To this day, all ingredients are sliced fresh daily and served on bread that is made from scratch nightly....just real food served by real people.  Over the years Tucci's Southside Sub has become an independent South Austin staple known in our community for the highest quality subs in town!
