Best Sub Shop in Virginia Beach · Virginia Beach, VA
Zero's Subs has made oven-baked submarine sandwiches in Virginia Beach since 1967, a hometown sub shop that grew from a single Oceanfront-area store into a Tidewater staple. The move that set it apart was simple: baking the subs so the bread crisps and the cheese melts — the 'Bomb' among the best-known.
A local institution for nearly sixty years, Zero's is where Hampton Roads grew up grabbing a hot, baked sub — a regional sandwich tradition all its own.

It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
