50 Best Sandwich Shops in New York

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is stunning!! Some italian classics and some twists, amazing wines and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Love this place and I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in NYC.“

“This place is such a find!! My family and I just wanted some good, well priced sandwiches, and we feel like we struck gold with Shamas Deli! The owner was so kind, and the sandwiches are top notch. Every time we make the trip up from Atlanta, we will be sure to stop by!“

“Wow!! I’m from France and was craving a Parisian style sandwich - so glad I found this place, it brought my right back to France. I had the smoked duck sandwich and it was so good. The place is very cute and they’re very friendly!! Will become a regular spot for me for sure“

“Caveat, I did go here pregnant after fasting for 15 hours for a blood test so this is a very biased review. I had the chicken parm on the rosemary potato focaccia. The bread was fresh. Sandwich was warm. It felt like a hug. It was just what I needed. Very small seating area so definitely more of a togo spot but I was ravenous, undeterred and a bit delirious so inhaled the sandwich there and then got a Nutella filled donut to go.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“when a cafe can lasting almost 100 years. It’s already mean some things. Although I went there earlier, but I still have too late in line for about 10 minutes to get a seat. Immediately, I was attractive by my next seat orders of the fries. It looks so comforting in the cold days. I have a small appetite but just after a workout so I asked protein rich meals. I got the pastrami is so tender and delicious Just right amount what I need.“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the staff’s friendly and attentive demeanor, as well as the overall treatment I received. The food was delicious, although I must admit that I was likely just hungry. After all, I always relish my post-gym meals. I highly recommend this place!“

“Absolutely the best, most unique sandwich restaurant EVER. Passionate and dedicated team, serving healthy, innovative and just out of this world sandwiches and rich, freshly made coffees and espresso. Desserts available at on site (Francesco’s) bakery. Highest recommendation. A must try.“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“I came today and tried Pietro sandwich and it was amazing! Tasteful and huge! It’s definitely one of the best sandwiches I ever had and I totally reccomend it! I live in Greece but I visit often NY and from now on I will visit Capone’s every time I will be in the city!“

“I order from here a few times per week because I work in the neighborhood and Sandwell has become one of my favorite spots on the UWS. Creative and delish sandwiches (especially the Toasted Rivalry tuna melt please make that permanent lol) and the employees are very sweet.“

“Five stars all the way around. I’ve been in love since I first walked in. From the staff to the contractors that eat there it’s always a vibe. Yasmine is adorable and goes above and beyond for her customers. 💕🥰 lots of the to the management and staff“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Been working in Midtown for years and this is by far my coworker and Is favorite spot. Delicious sandwiches, fabulous staff, and the tastiest homemade aioli east of the Mississippi. Would recommend for dine in or out, for big or small, and for individual or team bonding outings! Perfect for every occasion!! Honorable mention to the Prosciutto di Parma. MUAH“

“we loved it!“

“Delicious wraps! We go to the one on 102th st and Broadway.The only bad thing is poor service,workers have bad attitude! Makes your wrap taste bitter!“

“Ordered delivery a few times. This place is a savior when you need dinner working an overnight shift. The cheese burgers are amazing and the coffee is amazing as well. The delivery guy are amazing. This place is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“They have the most beautiful chip display of any Subway I’ve ever been to - it’s just so perfect & organized & it made my OCD brain happy when I walked in. My boyfriend always gets the nachos and they’re (surprisingly) really good.“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“Awesome food and even greater customer service!! 🫶🏽👏🏽🙌🏽❤️🎯🎯“

“Had the best Saturday stop at All'Antico Vinaio in the West Village before heading to work. The staff were singing Italian songs while making the sandwiches, and the energy was so joyful and authentic. It truly felt like a little slice of Italy in NYC. The food was amazing, but the vibe made it unforgettable. There's something about good food, good music, and happy people that just sets the tone for the day.
Definitely coming back!“

“I asked for a Pastrami Hero but needed help on what to put on it, hot or cold. The gentleman working to make my samdwich was extremely helpful in helping decide how to make it (haven't had one before) and the result was incredible.

Every time I come to NYC, I love the hospitality of these local shops. I could tell he cared about making a high quality sandwich that I would like and he succeeded.

Bravo. Thank you. I will make it a point to come back next time I am here.

My wife for the Big Chicken and said it was fantastic as well.“

“If you were looking for a cup of coffee and a sandwich at 4:30 a.m. this is your spot! I've been in here several times, and the place is spotless. They only have one small table to sit at, so you shouldn't plan on eating there. There's a big menu and the coffee is always fresh. I always see the same guy working there, and you can tell he knows what he's doing. If you are in the area and need something quick and easy and reasonably priced this is the place to go.“

“Originally going to Katz’s but the line was insanely long. Found this place by chance and I’m so glad we did. This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had (The Fran). I’m not sad for missing Katz’s. The guy working there was very nice. Only negative was the music he had playing which had a lot of cussing (we had kids with us). Other than that this place was great! Mostly carry out, there is 1 big table for seating.“

“Perfect breakfast sandwich stop if you’re staying in or around theater district. You can order at the counter, or order ahead online so it’s ready when you get there. Bagel breakfast sandwiches were killer— so good we came back a second day in a row on our trip! Coffee was nothing special, sandwiches were amazing. They package everything incredibly well so food stays hot and drinks don’t spill if you’re walking. Sandwiches stayed warm for an hour so we could eat them in the airport on the way home!“

“Pastrami by the pound! I set up an entire meal at home for family with what I can bring home from Pastrami Queen. There are no pretenders here and its worth finding this little spot to get the real deal. I leave a tip in the jar for the fellows that make all of this good food, and I have always had only the very best Pastrami from them.
Recommended“

“Great customer service! Tell Missy we said Hi.“

“Heard about this place online and wanted to try it. Price wise, its around the same price as the other food in the area. The paninis were okay. Honestly, if I gave you a panini from a local popular corner deli and this place, this place would be slightly better. Give this place a shot and you can decide for yourself. I had the Cubano and it was okay.“

“First time trying these Italian sandwiches and it was so good. I tried the Venice sandwich and the peach ice tea and both were really good and I don't even like peach a lot. Staff was very friendly and made my sandwich pretty quick. I definitely recommend and will be back for more.“

“AMAZING ITALIAN SUBS. At Alidoro they have fresh bread, fresh meat, everything is made fresh and in front of you. The Pinocchio sandwich is GREAT and I would highly recommend. This was an amazing experience and customer service was great. Cute seating area as well. Will definitely be coming back every time I am in SoHo NY.“

“You never really consume a Delici wrap—you steward it.
Wrapped in quiet excellence, it arrives fast, tastes crafted, and somehow exceeds expectations like it’s effortless.
Each order feels less like takeout and more like a small tradition you’re temporarily entrusted with.
You don’t finish it so much as you savor it, then retell it—so the next generation can experience it through story.“

“Amazing place! Quality food, everything fresh, very friendly environment, multilingual staff and enough space for lunch/dinning. Prices very low and food portions are huge! Returning daily during my stay in NYC!“

“Was so excited to eat the sandwich that I forgot to take a picture! Definitely going to be stopping here again soon on my way to GCT“

“Pickler by far makes the best Turkey Club and french fries made with peanut oil!🙏

Only con is their posted hours on google are not correct or they close early. I've gone twice when Google hours post open all to find they are closed. Disappointing!“

“🚨 gem alert 🚨

Now this place is well around they offer a variety of different foods.

I order there skirt steak sandwiches , and man they’re fantastic. Both was well made and all made to order, both offers different flavors so they are worth getting.

If in the area check it out !!

PS . Order ahead if you in a hurry because they take there time (in a reasonable fashion) but I like that.“

“Best meatball parm in NYC“

“I’m salivating just thinking about their 🥪!!! They offer huge portions, fresh and high quality ingredients and now I’m hungry. 😋“

“My first visit. I had a Naked Frozen Mojito and a Green Thai Coconut Curry with Chicken, so yummy! Great customer service!“

“Got the Gothamist on semolina bread 🍞, a pickle, and a bag of chips with rosemary and olive oil flavor. Oh, a canned Illy latte too. It was $38.34 with tax. The pickle was a small sliver and cost 75 cents. It did have some surprising heat to it. The sandwhich had a mild flavor and was fresh.The bread had a good texture. The pesto, 🍋lemon, and sundried tomatoe flavors were milder than expected. The rosemary of the chips was not very noticable. I am glad I got it in advance for supper for my 7 hour train ride 🚊. Better than the dining car options or nothing. Pretty expensive but it is NYC 🗽in a train station. You’re paying for convenience and location. My canned latte was needed on the ride too and I liked the flavor. The line was short and moved fast around noon on a Monday. Staff were friendly and helpful in giving directions of service. You get a pager after you pay- when it buzzes, you pick up your food in the next window. I recommend grabbing a cold sandwhich to go for long rides.“

“I am obsessed with chicken ceasar wraps and this place makes it among the best! I tried the picante version and it was just the perfect amount of spicy. It did complemented the flavors perfectly. I will be going back for lunch at least once a week!“

“Wow.... Delicious... Recommended!😍“

“We had Hot Chocolate and smoothies, all amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great experience, will be back to try the food also.“
