For nearly 25 years Maceri’s subs have been served. It started back at Tom Maceri’s Fruit Market on the eastside of Detroit, Michigan. We added the deli to our fruit market in 1984. We began making individual subs. People wanted them for parties, so we started making them by the foot. Anthony learned the art of sub making from his mother, Josephine Maceri, who had a pizzeria in Grosse Point Woods back in the 1970′s. It was located next to the police station on Mack Ave called Sorrentos (not the same as the one today). She did not serve just pizza. She also served Oven Baked Subs. Anthony used his experience and added to the already superb Italian. We now serve a wide variety of subs and pitas at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas and Subs. We use our famous house dressing on a wide variety of them. All of the Subs and Pitas at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs are made with the freshest produce, and the finest quality meats and cheeses.

The origin of the Boston cooler originated in Detroit, Michigan, which is also where Fred Sanders invented the ice cream soda. Originally, a Vernors Cream was served as a shot or two of sweet cream poured into a glass of Vernors ginger ale. Later, vanilla ice cream was substituted for the cream as a Vernors float. Unlike a float, a Boston Cooler is blended like a thick milk shake. It is known that by the 1880s the Boston cooler was being served in Detroit, made with the Detroit’s Vernors. The name has no connection to Boston, Massachusetts. One theory is that it was named after Detroit’s Boston Boulevard, which was a short distance from James Vernor’s drugstore.
My husband’s uncle worked for Vernors as a young man in the 1930′s. He also said they used to make a Cream-Ale with Vernors, cream, and chocolate syrup. He used to bring home a quart everyweek. It was a special treat. Now we use ice cream in our Boston Coolers and Cream-Ales.
Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs serves Boston Coolers, Cream-Ales. You can also find Rootbeer Floats, Italian Soda Floats, and Italian Creamosas in a variety of flavors, but the Boston Cooler is a taste of nostalgia.
