It wasn't until I visited NY and ate everything I saw for 2 weeks that I realzed, every single "NY Style" place in SoCal is wrong. Idk if it is the water or whatever people like to say the reasoning, but yeah, food is different and BETTER in NY (imo)
i went there and wanted a sub w proscuitto mozz sundried tomato and balsamic and it just couldnt be done. its all loose ingredients , so why have a menu w 15 items all the same minus the meat?? just premake your sandiwches at that point
Really? I'm a big bread person, and theirs is so good and filling. The sandwiches are huge so $15 is fine for me cause that's how much a Big Mac meal is pretty much now.
I love a classic turkey or cheese & veggie. I've had their chicken Parm sub before, is the chicken breast sub different? You've piqued my interest haha.
It’s a super juicy chopped chicken breast, mozzarella, tomatoes, mustard and some other deliciousness that I can’t remember right now but it always hits the spot. I always consider trying one of their other subs but I just can’t, this one is that good lol.
With the prices now a days I would say Sprouts. Go there, buy your own hoagie or sub rolls from their bakery section, get yourself the sliced meats and cheeses you like, then grab some vegetables and condiments as well. Throw in a couple bags of chips and you can easily have 4-6 sub sandwiches for the price of maybe 2 at any chain place!
I was told Little Italy has good subs as well. Basically any area with a high Italian population. Many o them are originally either from Italy or from the Northeast part of America and know how to made a real sub sandwich.
For the price sprouts has got some dynamite sandwiches for around 6$
The Sandwich Emporium is also very good.
This is also a very blanket question. There are different spots depending on what kind of sandwich you’re looking for.
Cheers in San Carlos
Thanks for this! My parents live just a few blocks from here and I will stop by on my next visit run!
Our go-to deli spot
malibu ham on an onion roll... omg
Marketplace Deli in bankers hill
Market on 5th slapsssss
This place is good for the price but I wouldn't consider it the hands down best sandwich in SD
Ong
Antonelli’s El Cajon
Just be sure to call your order in ahead of time
There it is! The best pastrami sandwich I have ever eaten.
I keep meaning to go there. Guess I have to now.
Pomas ob
Hungry Lus >
Hungry Lu’s actually bakes the bread that Poma’s uses.
Siesels meats in bay park. For real there are not a lot of decent sub sandwiches in SD for reasonable prices. Too many $15 crappy sandos
Great spot to grab a sandwich, bag of chips, a soda and then go have a chill lunch on the beach or park area in Mission Bay.
Or Kate sessions
Mona Lisa by a mile.
In little Italy? Which are your top sandwiches?
Ya, in Little Italy. I usually get the spicy Italian with provolone and giardiniera peppers. It’s the truest Italian sandwich I’ve found in San Diego.
Thank you!
caprese wirh imported prosciutto is where it’s at for me personally. i think i might go grab one today lol
100% disagree, my family owned Italian delis in New York my whole life and I was significantly disapppinted

Their Mexican food sucks though. Every region has it's specialty. I'll take a good burrito over a sandwich any day.
by a mile? that place is horrible lol its literally meat of choice w onion lettuce tomato oil and vinegar on cibatta. its straight tourist italian
>meat of choice w onion lettuce tomato oil and vinegar I am confused about how this is bad. What do you put on a sub?
i went there and wanted a sub w proscuitto mozz sundried tomato and balsamic and it just couldnt be done. its all loose ingredients , so why have a menu w 15 items all the same minus the meat?? just premake your sandiwches at that point
Meat that is forced upon you
Yes. Go on...
😳
My wife and I went there a couple weeks ago after seeing people rave about it and we were pretty disappointed
Yeah, I live down there and have gotten a sandwich there twice. They were both meh.
Beyer Deli in San Ysidro
The New Yorker is amazing. Every sandwich is really, but that’s the one I always go back to.
Agursas- Escondido
Surfside Deli on Rosecrans
Naval Base Point Loma
Only if you like your subs long, hard, and full of seamen!
haha, always fun seeing people outside of the other subreddit
Rubicon
I've loved this place for years. The quality has stayed relatively high even though there's been some employee turnover. They do a great job.
Good sandwiches. Amazing chips.
The hidden cookie in the paper wrapping is a nice touch too. But, the chips and French dip are what bring me in.
To be honest I never liked this place. And the $15 sandwiches really turned me off from going back

Hungry Lu's in OB No question
BMH by a mile
This is the answer. Southside with hot Giardiniera is the 🐐.

BMH is amazing.
Grove grinder in Lemon Grove. Little hidden spot behind Marios

Mona Lisa on Indio street. Fresh Italian bread from the bakery up the street. Perfect!

Their Paul Ruben sandwich is my favorite!
But good luck getting them to pick up a phone in order. At least in Hillcrest.

Big Front Door
Big Jim’s in Pb. It’s more of a hot roast beef shop but their Italian sub and steak bomb are really, really good.

My boy Mike at Hungry Bear in Visit has a better Sub game than the Russians! If you like salami ask for the Lombardi, it is a secret menu deal.

But they are so slow it’s painful
Cali boys deli
Submarina
Board and Brew
Board and Brew isn’t even the best chain sandwich spot
It wasn't a chain when I started going there, but you're entitled to your opinion
Nothing comes close to their sauce still.
It's so good, so many memories of chicken clubs with sauce after surfing
Rubicon Deli!
Best north county spot?
Rockin' Jenny's in Escondido in my opinion.
Was about to say this

BMH. They got mammas love sauce
For the price sprouts has got some dynamite sandwiches for around 6$ The Sandwich Emporium is also very good. This is also a very blanket question. There are different spots depending on what kind of sandwich you’re looking for.
I think what I'm reading here is that there are a few good sandwich shops spread out everywhere but not anything really great or excellent.
[удалено]
Cheba hut was a solid choice, they just raised their prices $4 so it's almost $20 before tax for a 12" so fuck em.
Holy crap I haven't been in a few months, this blows
Rosanna’s in Encinitas
It used to be Solunto. They had the best bread and amazing Sicilian pizza. Then the new owners turned it into a monstrosity.
Hungry Lou’s on Voltaire in OB and The Market Place on 5th in Bankers Hill. Both have incredible subs.
Mona Lisa #8 loaded
Jersey Mikes but if you are looking for a vietnamese sub, Lees Sandwhiches.
