50 Best Sandwich Shops near South San Francisco

“This is the place to get a Great Deli Sandwich. They also serve burgers too. They have a great salad bar as well. It's in an industrial park area off of Harbor street, so parking can be tight. I will definitely hit this place up again when I'm in South San Francisco near the airport 😃😃😃“

“All the samiches at this spot are good! Highly recommend the Lobster Crab samich. They only have it on Tuesdays and Fridays.“

“The food here feels fresh and made using high quality ingredients! The Avenue, California Veggie, and the Tomato Bisque were absolutely delicious! And the staff is even nicer! Highly recommend to anyone looking to grab a quick bite around SFO!“

“I had a Provolone cheese sandwich today 1/11/25. It was delicious. Their garlic sauce and hot sauce are AMAZING! Definitely worth the wait. Good customer service as well. Thank you.“

“What a classic sandwich shop! I ordered the sleeper on Dutch crunch! It was huge and I see why it’s called the sleeper! I took half home and ate half there, the lady was kind to warm half of it, but I think it might be better cold. Plenty of seating inside and I was surprised the have a hot grill section as well! For a sandwich less than $20 this spot is definitely a deal! I’ll be back to try some of the hot grill selection next 💯“

“I was so juiced and excited to see we were about to get a sourdough & Co. I love sourdough dough too and the lemonade is soooo goood. They for sure are top quality. The owner is really nice. If you haven't had it, definitely give them a try.“

“Excellent service team thanks🙏🏻 delicious sandwiches that were made with high QA/QC of generous fillings/proteins that were portioned/weighted. Very impressed by the process and the staff. Yummy warm sandwiches 👍🏼 Unassuming but very clean shop🤓 highly recommend when one needed a quick meal to and from SFO😎 actually TOGO was our fav sandwich shop in college🥰“

“Desperate to use a restroom, I stopped at the subway. I don't like to use facilities without buying something from the business so I ordered a sandwich. There was only 1 person there, and 1 person was being helped. She was slow but was accommodating to request. The facility was attached to a gas station store, so it was not an inviting sit and eat location, I took my order to go.“

“This was my third time here. The first time I tried here, everything was so good and I do really love the services they have. The prices are very reasonable for healthy drinks. The ladies that work here are patient, very polite and helpful. I'll be back!“

“I’ll be honest, this was my first time trying a muffuletta. I have to say, this was easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had so bc e moving to SF five years ago. Plus, it’s so close to the panhandle! Grab it to go and hang out in the park on a sunny afternoon, what more can you ask for.“

“great sandwich. the best in the city“

“I drove from San Jose to South San Francisco to get sandwiches. I finally taste it. Wow, it's worth to drive for sandwiches. I love it.“

“Amazing! The Reuben...a dream !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Get the Glorious Bastard sandwich like your life depends on it. It’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. The complimentary flavors of the seasoned turkey, bacon, garlic mayo, crispy lettuce, and pickled red onions is INSANE. Combined with the textures of the Dutch crunch roll and fresh avocado that just ties it all together. Unfortunately I’m not from California, but whenever I’m there Salty’s is always a priority. It’s seriously that good. Just get it if you can. It also comes with tomato but I get it without cause I don’t like raw tomato, so that is also an option!“

“Everything was amazing. Couldn’t decide on what to get, so had a lot of left overs. Cured salmon and pork belly were our favorites.“

“Calabrese sandwich was on fire. Nice coffee too! — Lavazza of course“

“Fantastic sandwiches at this classic Italian deli 😋“

“Chicken and Bacon ranch wrap.😍“

This place was a whole vibe. I got a cheesesteak. She made me a peach lemonade…so yummy. The whole crew was amazing …make sure you grab one of the pastries they are homemade by Reena’s mommy“

My wife and I came from Modesto to enjoy the bay weather and celebrate her birthday ( Lee even wished her happy birthday). Our first food stop was there ocean subs and I couldn’t be any happier with our experience . The cilantro lime vinaigrette is to die for!! We will see you very soon Lee!! Thank you soo much for being a great human being.“

“Highly recommended!!!

A spot I’d love to go to again for sure
Super clean place, lovely environment and amazing staff. They take pride in their food. Food was amazing and great variety of options

I was on my motorcycle and had a big order. The owner literally carried the stuff out to my bike and helped me organize it.

Thank you for the great food and the amazing service“

“Excellent breakfast location in downtown. I got the deluxe breakfast burrito this morning and was pleasantly surprised by how hearty it was for the price—great nutritious way to start your morning! + open early for those working east coast hours!“

“It's not the best sandwich for me. We tried the Italiano sandwich it was our first time here. I still prefer the little lucca. The place is cool. You'll see alot of of old pictures of the 49ers from.the It's superbowl teams. We wanted to try their other sandwiches tho.“

“I've never been great about remembering to actually review places I like. But I feel I would be doing this business a disservice by not expressing how much I adore their food. I don't get the option to come here very often, once a month at most when i'm in town for a work trip, and I have to make it a point to stop in every time for a massive, quality sandwich“

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“Fantastic service and amazing food!“

“The beef bourguignon sandwich was absolutely delicious. The beef was tender and flavorful, with a rich, savory sauce that paired beautifully with the bread. The combination of the slow-cooked beef, deep flavors, and crispy bread made every bite satisfying. It was hearty without being too heavy, and the portion was generous. Overall, a comforting and flavorful sandwich that I would definitely order again!“

“Great atmosphere and food…“

“We loved everything about this place. Ordered a hot Italian beef sandwich on a soft roll, with extra hot peppers… and omg it was literally one of the best lunch sandwiches I’ve had in SF. The au jus dip that came with it was perfection as well. The people that ran this place were like a warm hug… friendly, efficient, and the kind of neighborly kindness that you just want to go back and support in perpetuity. I love everything about this place. If I could give more stars, I would.“

“Très bon accueil, produits de qualité, à recommander.“

“Good people, good food, good prices!“

“Great sandwiches. Tried them for the first time in Dec. 26, 2019. Then on the Saturday and Monday following. We have had their Grubbin' It, Sweet Mouth Waterin', Savorin', and Meatballin'. will be back for more great tastin' sandwiches.“

“Limoncello is a great spot in SF for a delicious, satisfying sandwich. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are flavorful, and every bite has a perfect balance of textures and savory goodness. Portions are generous, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or casual meal. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere round out the experience. Definitely recommend!“

“4-grain loaf was fresh, hearty, sourdough-y, and flavorful. Cinnamon roll was flaky and buttery. Both things I tried felt homemade with care. I’m definitely coming back for the other bread offerings, including the pizzas!“

“Go here and get an AMAZING Sandwich. Quality meats, fresh hoagie bread rolls. Wonderful direct customer service. It was giving bodega CA style. Airy and open and Avocado meets man from NY/NY running a deli. Lots of options and just delicious clean food. Perfect lunch vibe. Service was attentive and patient and eager to please.“

“Tasty sandwich shop, very friendly service. Nowhere to sit inside but a few tables outside. Definitely a to go place! I got the meatball sandwich (4/5) and the chocolate chip cookie (3/5). Great value - you can easily get 2 meals out of the one $15 sandwich.“

“Leonardo’s is OPEN for business, phone orders and pick up. Uber Eats option available this Friday March 20th. Please keep them in mind during this time, with everyone home from school and work enjoy a great deli sandwich, homemade soup or fine salads.“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“Amazing sandwich! Can’t wait to go back again to try more.“

“Better, cheaper, and friendlier, than the other place.“

“Fuck'in delicious sandwiches!“

“I am going to change my review after being called and harassed from the owner who yelled at me. I am so sorry, You see that I belong to this crazy group of people who believe when we order something. It's that something that comes our way. It's my fault for not understanding how it works now. We order, then something comes and we are supposed to like it and only give good reviews but not our actual experience.

So it's more about the social media presence, and not the customer, ah ok. I get it. How silly of me to write my own experience down and give my opinion. Being yelled at on the phone is now dessert, and the pass the buck between the delivery companies is the point at which no one is responsible.

I am gonna continue to be thankful and make great orders and give great reviews. I will have slightly adjusted expectations knowing maybe it will come. I will write those great reviews, 5 stars all the way, yay, Although it won't be the truth, I think this is what the restaurant wants me to do.

Food was great, it wasn't what I ordered and I couldn't be more happy!!!!!!! 5 stars all the way. We will stop at nothing to protect the ego of restaurant owners in this city.

I did indeed mention 3 other places under this review who also in the same 35 hour period seemed to have the same problem. This restaurant does not deserve that shade. I have learned know the way. This public forum has no place for bad reviews, just good ones. I can get on with that.“

“Great local spot for coffee. The bagels are fresh and the staff are friendly.

“The Ham & Cheese Deli was my target all along once I realized I've never been here before. I made a special trip here from Napa just to see for myself the quality of the meats, cheeses, produce and breads. And.. I'll tell you, the Ham & Cheese Deli lived up th the hype!
I aways judge a deli with the simplest of ham sandos, it was 5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s and they didn't even try! Amazingly Delicious!“

“Calabrese sandwich was on fire. Nice coffee too! — Lavazza of course“

“Best sandwiches and the wraps no complaints about the $ it's ok.“

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“we are from San Diego and found this place on yelp. The name itself peaked my interest. must say, sandwiches, spring rolls, Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. will come back soon.“

“If you’re a bagel lover in San Francisco, this place is an absolute must-visit! Honestly, it was one of the best bagels I’ve ever tasted – perfectly baked, with a great texture and flavor. The portions are generous, and the fillings are consistent and satisfying in every bite.

There’s a wide variety of bagel options, so whether you like it classic or more creative, you’ll find your favorite. The service was excellent- fast, super attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the place is spotless, which adds to the overall experience.

You can tell there’s a strong recurring clientele, and for good reason. We had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, a wonderful and welcoming man, who made us feel like old friends. On our second visit, he even surprised us with fresh orange juice on the house – such a thoughtful gesture!

We’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend you don’t hesitate either — you might just taste the best bagel of your life in this SF gem! 5/5 for sure!!!“
