I've been living in south SF and Little Lucca is a sandwhich shop that is ALWAYS busy. We came 30 minutes before it closed and it took 30 minutes for our sandwich to be made because of the line. Once you find an order you like, it's definitely worth coming but it was a lot of trial and error for me, but so far this spicy buffalo is definitely my favorite. Since it's an older shop, the inside is definitely a little suspicious, and I feel like you need to emphasize cross contamination if you are vegetarian or vegan so be ready to do that if you have dietary restrictions.

The best sandwiches in South San Francisco: Little Lucca! This place is usually packed with a line out the door, but we decided to shoot our shot since it was raining and hoped there wouldn't be a line and luckily it wasn't that long! Everything is made to order in front of you and you can add what you'd like. They have a garlic and hot pepper sauce which are sooo good and a must get. They definitely don't skimp on the add ins and both our sandwiches came out packed and HUGE! We were able to save and eat the other half for dinner haha It's a really nice place to grab a sandwich and maybe head over to the beach or somewhere nice to enjoy. We ended up taking it home and decided to toast it a bit and it was perfection. Next time you're in South San Francisco and looking for a sandwich, come check out Little Lucca! Everyone was so nice and patient even with a rush.

I was craving for a sandwich, so I came here. It's one of my favorite places to get sandwiches. The staffs are super nice and the place is clean. I got the Italian salami and it was amazing. The sandwich was huge, good portions. I can taste everything. Perfect comfort food on the go.

These sandos are nuts! They are huge and well priced. The garlic sauce is BOMB. I got the corned beef and the meat quality was amazing. I highly recommend!

The best sandwiches in the SF Bay Area. The wait is worth it. There are no tables. This is definitely grab and eat.

I'm a sandwich girly, always will be! Only thing bad about this spot is the fact the place is small and the lines are long! But the sandwiches! OMG One sandwich stacked up and big enough to feed 2 people! The prices are worth it for what you get! The crew inside is quick and efficient for sure, order ahead by phone or doordash. Because the line gets loooooooooong! I felt like chicken parm today, on sourdough with the works. Extra garlic and pepper spread of course . My bread was crispy yet soft, definitely didn't get soggy considering the mountain of items on it. Chicken = stacked! Cheese = stacked! The flavors were there, and I love that they shred their lettuce and onions thinly. Makes for an all around better flavor. Little Lucca definitely does not disappoint!! Barely through one half of this sandwich as I type this!

Food was amazing. But have extra napkins cus you'll need it. First time there and I'm pleased to say I was satisfied in what I got. Saw so many review that I had to try it and was happy.

What a great place. I make it a point to visit each time I'm in SF. The chipotle bird is my fave, but the tri tip is fantastic as well.
I love sandwiches. If ever there was a more perfect food, I don't know it. that said, there are a lot of shitty sandwiches out there. Mostly anyplace with more then 2 locations. Little Lucca is the crown jewel of sandwich shops. Very small space, long lines. You can order ahead..but I suggest you wait and watch your perfect sandwich being made. Interact with your sandwich maker. I usually stop by on my way to SFO so I don't have to eat crappy airport food. and as an added benefit, the pesto, garlic sauce will clear a nice big area for you while waiting for a flight. Quality, Service, Value.

I have been hearing about this place from one of my co-workers for years because he lived in San Mateo and went the often. I finally got to try them. I got a smoked turkey, roast beef, bacon and avocados with everything and of their garlic sauce and sourdough roll. 1st, this sandwich came out massive, over a pounds I think. They give you a healthy amount of meat and all fresh. 1st bite into the sandwich was amazing, never had anything like it. Best sandwich I ever had!!! I differently coming back.

this is now one of my top sandwich spots. i decided to order delivery on doordash after seeing one day how long the line was and how limited and hectic parking was. the long wait for delivery (over an hour) was worth it. i got the deli regular sandwich with dutch crunch bread and provolone cheese, and my goodness--it was everything. being hungry after waiting that long, i was pleased with the gigantic sandwich size. i love that it came conveniently cut in half. i was so full after eating the first half, yet tempted to dig into the second one just because it was so good! the dutch crunch added the perfect, needed crunchy bite to complement the rest of the sandwich. it was also soft enough to not hurt the top of my mouth like a baguette might. the combination of ingredients used for the sandwich, despite being "regular" in name, was absolutely heavenly.

Huge sandwich, just have to leave more than enough time, a very busy sandwich place that u may have to wait around d an hour for your sandwich.
