Solid Italian sandwich, but a little short of the hype. The desserts looked great but didn’t try

All I can say is WOW! Originally visiting SD for vacation, we stumbled on this lil cute deli. First, we got cannolis and cookies…. AMAZING. Cannoli is creamy and lemony. Cookies were the perfect texture and sweetness. You can tell it was made with absolute passion. We came back 1 more time before going back home to AZ. This time we got a sandwich. Pastrami sub is divine. Definitely will be a staple for future trips to OB. Staff was the most friendliest felt so welcoming. The guy with glasses is the BEST helped us both visits. We Love Hungry Lu’s

This place has delicious cookies but the real thing that sets it apart is the staff. The staff is so friendly and helpful and accommodating. I would give it 6 stars if I could

My hubs and I tried this spot for the very first time on a Sunday afternoon. I’ll start by saying parking wasn’t as easy to find since there is only street parking. We were lucky to find parking half a block away. It was nice to walk in the area since it’s a beach community.
Seating is only outside with a few more tables that are not in the picture. There are two stools at a table inside in case you don’t want to sit outside. The inside is very small. Probably the size of a bathroom but there is a ramp for wheelchair access. Please see photo.
It took about 10 minutes to get our food even though there was no one ahead of us. We ordered the Italian sub. You get an option to have it served hot or cold; we chose hot. Nice we got our sub, it was lukewarm. Not as hot as I would have liked but warm enough. By the time I finished my first sandwich it was cold. The sandwiches come cut into beautifully equal portions all wrapped up nice and tight.
We had only two bread options, sesame seed or regular; we chose sesame seed. The outer shell of the bread was lightly crisp and pleasantly flaky. The veggies were very fresh, crispy, and lightly sprinkled with pepper. The meat was warm and flavorful. The sandwich was pleasantly sprinkled with oil adding moisture to each bite.
My only recommendation would be to have more yellow peppers. I discovered when I would finally bite into the sandwich with a yellow pepper, I enjoyed it more. bite without the yellow pepper it seemed a little bland. I would ask for extra yellow peppers for that added salt.
We also ordered a cannoli. This cannoli was probably one of the best in San Diego. The outer shell was crispy and had the perfect crunch sprinkled with powdered sugar. The cream filling was a perfect cool temperature, well blended with a light taste of lemon. I loved the small chocolate morsels and every bite. We don’t have anything negative to say about their cannolis.
Our overall experience was very pleasant. People walking by were very friendly and sometimes we strike a conversation with us. This is a perfect beach spot for that lunch to top off your afternoon. If you are in the area of Ocean Beach, give this place a try.

Food poisoning :-(
After I finished eating, I got a sharp and sudden pain in my stomach. I asked the employee where the bathroom was and he replied "no speak English".

$9 slice of pizza. Asked for a glass of water, got “we don’t carry glasses of water”. Nice service.
Reminds me of an amazing Deli back home in Kansas City. Ordered the Turkey Italiano and it was better than I could have imagined. And the cannoli is to die for.

Sorry to see that your cookie lineup is gone. Most of the stuff that made this an Italian bakery are gone except for the bread they use on the subs. The amaretti and other Italian cookies are no more. Truth is, I wouldn't want to get up that early either to make cookies. The counter help pointed me at something he called a ladyfinger. It had sprinkles on it and was definitely not a ladyfinger. I think it would be safer to regard this as a sub shop. The sandwiches are excellent on account of the bread they use. Anyway, next time ( before we drive over from Tucson) we'll call to see what cookies you have. Thanks for all of the early mornings you did when you sold the good stuff.
