Delis in Davis

“Best sandwich ever.

Do I really need to say more?
I’m serious. Best sandwich ever. Staff always is on lookout to see if your beer is running low. Highly recommend stopping by Beach Hut Davis for a Sunrise Sandwich and a beer or two.“

“Best sandwich place in Davis (sorry panera!) But Zia has been around since 1995, that's 30 years!

My go-to is always the Lucca (turkey) on sourdough roll. I ask for without oil and vinegar to keep things dry. When I ordered this recently, at least 4 others in line got the Lucca. The sandwich quality is as I remembered it as a college student in Davis.

There is so much to see in the store, and so many non-typical treats to try and buy. It's like walking into a little Italy, and I just love the decor and atmosphere. They also have a bunch of neat drinks and gelato ice cream in their fridges.

Just know those lunch rushes can be a pain, and it does take time for people to make it. It takes about 5 minutes, sometimes longer if they have many orders.

Seating-wise there are none inside. You have to sit outside, but it's usually not too packed. Parking-wise, it's free 2-hr street parking Mon-Sat. Not sure why, but recently parking in downtown Davis has gotten busy around noon. Regardless, this is a must-try sandwich spot in Davis.

Pro-tip: san-pelligrino's taste so good with their sandwiches!“
