The story
Popis sits at the corner of Via Carlo Giuseppe Merlo in central Milan, a nightclub-adjacent spot that leans into the city’s taste for American-inspired, trendy, and tourist-friendly takeout. With a 3.8-star average from its curated ReTubeIt reviews, it’s clearly drawing a crowd—but not everyone is convinced the lines are worth it.
Franchino Er Criminale, in his roundup of Milan’s top panini, calls Popis “a decent fast food chain, but the hype and long lines don’t match the quality of the sandwiches.” He singles out the Panino Popis as the dish to try, though the sentiment suggests execution lags behind buzz. For a venue that trades on being trendy, that’s a tough note to swallow—good enough, but not the revelation the queue promises.

Reviewers rave about the Panino Popis, calling it a must-order. The overall vibe is warm, unpretentious, and deeply satisfying.
“It's a decent fast food, you can eat a sandwich there. There's one with a bit more style, another with more flavor, but you have to dip it in nuggets and sauces, otherwise it tastes like nothing. It's a fast food, yeah. But the line is insane, people queue for the event, not for the food. I don't think it's worth that line.”
