50 Best Sandwich Shops in New York

“Recently I watched an episode of “Comedian in Cars Drinking Coffee” with Jerry Seinfeld and Sabastain M. On this particular episode they went to Faicco’s Itailian deli. They talked about how good the sandwich was. Since we were heading to NY from Chicago, thought this would be a great place to stop . Let’s just say it didn’t disappoint. We had the Italian sandwich - it was so amazing. People should put this on their list to visit when coming to NY.“

“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.“

“I love here! Everytime I come to NYC, all the time. Last time I tried Pastrami roll and this time, roast beef roll. Both are the best. Grab a roll and have a seat in Braynt Park is my fav routine for sure
And the owner so nice and friendly“

“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.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“Dopo una settimana in giro per NY, l'ultimo giorno, ahimé, ho scoperto il bar/gastronomia/shopping Best Sicily. Il miglior caffè!“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant. Every item on their menu is amazing. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming as well. I make the excuse to visit the restaurant once a week from Manhattan“

“Arrived around 12:30 and was seated immediately in the bar. Delicious pastrami delight. Not too heavy compared to other greasy pastrami sandwiches. Really liked how the pickle was really sour. Sadly they didn’t have the house fries that day.“

“We stumbled upon this sandwich shop while walking around the neighborhood and decided to stop in for lunch. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There are a few tables both inside and outside if you’d like to dine in, and takeout is also available.“

“I went to a this deli on my bday trip, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it completely ruined every other deli sandwich for me.

Small place but seriously mighty. No fluff, no gimmicks, just unreal, farm-to-table food done right.

The meatball sandwich? I think about it daily. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and messy in the best way. The kind of sandwich you don’t forget. And the Burrata sandwich was just as incredible, packed with flavor and made with so much care you can taste it in every bite.

You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully sourced. It makes a difference.

This place puts every other deli shop to shame. If you know, you know.

Already planning my next trip back, mainly for that sandwich.“

“10/10!
Was in the city with my husband and we decided to stop by for a bite and it was soooo worth it! We had the steak and guac sandwich and the chicken pesto panini! It was so delicious! And the staff was so nice and friendly ❤️❤️“

“Sandwich was delicious. Loved the 70’s & 80’s movie posters on the wall. And the staff was helpful and had great vibes!“

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

“I order online regularly & I have never been disappointed in the quality of the food, speed & efficient delivery from Sandwell. Will continue to order online & I have referred Sandwell to others with a wide variety of preferences. My new favorite go to delivery place!“

“we loved it!“

“I Love this place because the food is Really Good Here I Like the Workers At This Restaurant And I make a new friend at This Restaurant his Name is Mohammed And it's A Very Nice Place and The People and Everybody is great here and it's very clean and yhr place is Nice“

“I do not live in NYC, but I was trying to find someone who could provide food for my daughter's baby shower in the city. After researching a few options online, I contacted The Picnic Basket. I am so glad I did. The shower was to be in Central Park on a Saturday, and I was concerned about getting everything there safely and reasonably easily. As The Picnic Basket is closed on Saturday, I knew we'd need it Friday as late as possible.
They were so helpful, providing suggestions and a menu online with a lot of great options. I was able to order enough food for a party of 20 at a reasonable price. When my son-in-law arrived to pick it up, it was exceptionally well-packed and labeled. It all fit in their small apartment fridge, and we were able to get everything to the shower easily. Everyone absolutely loved the sandwich variety as well as the large kale salad. Everything was excellent and we were able to easily re-pack the leftovers for later. Great food, great service, great communication and budget-friendly. Would not hesitate to use them again! Thanks, Picnic Basket!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“While eating my 2 slices of wonderful Pizza, a slice of Margarita and a slice of Buffalo chicken, I had a most pleasant conversation with a beautiful young lady there named Ruby, who made me feel very comfortable and welcomed... what a great atmosphere. And what a great employee you have there. I enjoyed my experience there very much. Thank you, Ruby for making my experience there even better. Mark Amy. Salisbury Maryland.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“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.“

“Locale meraviglio! Sentirsi in Italia a NY.“

“I like this subway sandwich because it’s a clean place and I like how the customers are very nice to you and they give you extra napkins if you need some other subway customers they just don’t care and don’t give you any napkins or just forget your order that what I don’t like but this subway sandwich is more better I rate it at 5 stars.“

“FARIA IS THE BEST!!! I come here almost everyday for work on my break. I get the good looking sandwiches. If you are a subway fan then you know Cookies matter just as much as the sandwich. They are always soft enough to bite through made fresh! Don’t even have to warm them up. Keeps a smile on her face and is a face I remember because of how kind she is. The rest of the staff makes sure to answer any questions you may have, as well as, any food allergies you may have.“

“I ordered the Healthy Wrap, and it was soooo good! I swapped the turkey for bacon, and they were happy to customize it to my preference. The food was served fresh and made to order, which made it even better. Everything tasted great, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be coming back! 😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“i had the caprese sandwich with basil, mozzarella, and sundried tomatoes (not regular tomatoes). it just taste better :)........OMG its so fresh! i took the sandwich home on the train and bread was still crispy. everything was so good! sandwich is huge! lol. service was friendly too.“

“Was a pleasure visiting this Deli the moment I walked in i saw a very clean place and the fruit the deli meat section was spot less With fresh looking fruit .they were very nice people had a great egg sandwich made perfect with a outstanding smoothie I will definitely recommend stopping here for sandwiches and smoothies and juice great place and clean. And great employees“

“Montagu's Gusto is serving up humongous sandwiches that taste super delicious. It was my first time visiting and I decided to order the Jack's Gusto (no avocado) and the Charrua Bravo (no tomato). The Charrua Bravo was special, every inch of the skirt steak was tossed in chimichurri which has a slight kick but not overpowering. The skirt steak was cooked just right, tender, juicy, fresh and they filled it up to the point where the steak was falling out. The roll along with the lettuce just made it come together really well. This had to be easily one of my favorites but again, the bread on the sandwich was really good. If they ever decide to sell the bread alone, I'll be back for that. lol. It's definitely a messy sandwich but thankfully it's messy in a good way that also could be shared between two people. The Jack's Gusto was also good. What I enjoyed the most was the chipotle sauce. The chipotle sauce wasn't too hot but just right to give it a really good flavor. The sauce was a bit too much, I would've liked for it be a little lighter but it still was pretty good along with several and I do many several pieces of crispy chicken and arugula. The cheese was also pretty solid too. I'll most certainly be back when I'm in the area and I think this is a place you have to try.“

“The sandwiches here are top tier. The mortadella is shaved perfectly fine (in front of you, on a restored slicer from Italy), and the bread / other ingredients are fresh. Sandwiches are made to order, so doubling down on fresh. The vibe feels like you’re visiting your zia’s cafe. Will come back to eat my way through this menu.“

“We were going to get bagels at a place nearby but there was a line out the door... So we stumbled upon d'Elici a block away. Quick friendly service and phenomenal breakfast selection of bagels, sandwiches, and coffee - no hype, tiny space, and just great food!“

“Great ambiance . Everyone should have a good time.“

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

“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.“

“The food and beverages are so dang delicious, so well priced, & so varied. I don't know any other place like this. They have a different set of meal options each day, along amazing pastries, and you grab and go. It's not meant for a sit down meal. The staff members are so sweet. I'm obsessed with their carrot cake.“

“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.“

“Difficult places to locate, but worth the effort. 2 sandwiches to buy to take away, a “classic” with beef ragout, good; but above all a breaded oyster sandwich! really very good, not too greasy. If you're in the area, don't hesitate.“

“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.“

“My girl and I came for a quick bite today . The place was busy and the workers were friendly and helpful. Freddy the manager made us feel very welcome. First he suggested a great sandwich (Romesco) then he cashed us out himself. This was a great experience and we will be back.“

“I love this place and the manager is so helpful and very nice which makes the experience all the better the worker and the manager work so well together and
Make it such a nice place to come to eat and get food I love it here and will miss it when I graduate.“

“Nice place Must have to visit“

“This is our secret go-to place next to Grand Central, because the food is always good and there’s always a seat! They have several salad and hot food stations, an Asian counter, good soups, tons of snacks and beverages. It’s super busy at lunch and needs a decor makeover but among delis, it is a standout because food is freshly prepared and there’s always are lots of healthy options. Plus, cashiers and floor staff all quick and helpful. Highly recommended for takeout but, again, we like it because they have plenty of tables so you can order, pay and you can dine in.“

“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“
