if you go

what: Bob and Ali's Pit Stop Deli.

web: www.thepitstopdeli.com.

address: 84 Society St.

hours: 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Mon.-Fri.; 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat.

phone: 793-3623.

Bob and Ali's Pit Stop Deli lives up to its name, as the sandwich shop has assembled a collection of motor sports and stock car racing decor and memorabilia.

The husband-and-wife team opened up the restaurant in October, offering hot and cold sandwiches, and even better, breakfast all day.

Triangular flags hang from the exterior awnings as well as the ceiling, while a mural depicting a pair of red race cars spruces up one of the walls.

Rugged bent sheet aluminum runs the length of another wall, displaying old signage, photos and newspaper articles. Heck, even the chandelier above the counter drips with used sparkplugs.

It's a proper lead up to the main event: overfilled, tasty sandwiches on freshly baked bread. Ciabatta, poppy Kaiser, marble rye, white, multigrain, hero or wheat and spinach wraps, you name it.

There's the Ragged Edge ($6.49-$7.98), a roast beef and mozzarella sandwich, dolled up with caramelized onions and red pepper aioli.

Or the Spare Tire ($7.49-$8.98), jacked up with five different meats, plus provolone cheese, green olives (a nice change), banana peppers and roasted red peppers.

Breakfast brings out the Super Charger ($3.98), a peppy spinach wrap containing two eggs, feta cheese, pesto, tomatoes and onions.

Specials flip daily, too, including the prime rib cheese steak, or the Portobello burger, a large, stuffed cap with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and a garlic and avocado spread.

What we also like: the pricing.

A four-ounce portion of, say, the homemade loaded potato salad only costs $1. Ditto for the tomato and mozzarella salad, or specials like the lobster mac and cheese. An eight-ounce serving is $2, the 16-ounce is $4 and the 32-ounce is $8.

It's no exaggeration. Those have got to be the best fuel prices in the country.
