A cold-cut-clogged Italian Combo gets a generous smear of basil mayo — the towering subs at this Tenderloin pizza counter deserve as much attention as the pies.

Tank-sized, well-stuffed pastrami sandwiches slicked with the house Board sauce — the kind of thing you plan an entire day around.

Eater · Infatuation
Tissue-thin hot coppa and salami with provolone, tomato and lettuce, piled on a buttery, dark-golden Dutch crunch roll at this Parkside butcher counter.

The Mega Cubana stacks milanesa, sausage, pierna, ham, chorizo, eggs, turkey, and two cheeses into one torta large enough to feed five or six people.
Lou's CafeⓘWhere it’s ranked
Eater · Infatuation
Big subs finished with a generous swath of garlic aioli — the tuna melt and hot pastrami here deserve their own national holiday.
Lucca DelicatessenⓘWhere it’s ranked

An Italian combo on a warmed sourdough roll at a Marina deli running since 1929 — the vibe feels like stepping into old-school San Francisco.
Palm City WinesⓘWhere it’s ranked
Eater · Infatuation
Thinly sliced mortadella and 'nduja mayo on a sesame-covered roll make the Italian American hoagie taste light and almost refreshing — from an Outer Sunset wine bar.
Saigon SandwichⓘWhere it’s ranked
Eater · Infatuation
A crackly, fresh-baked roll packed with well-spiced meat, mayo, and pickled daikon and carrots — widely called the best bánh mì in San Francisco, cash only.
Sandy'sⓘWhere it’s ranked
Eater · Infatuation
A thick swath of spicy olive spread and Duke's mayo on sesame bread makes this muffuletta awe-inducing — and not exactly typical of the New Orleans classic.
Submarine CenterⓘWhere it’s ranked
Eater · SF Standard
Two hams, salami and cheese on bread that crackles and makes a crumby mess as you eat it — a no-frills West Portal sub shop and neighborhood gem.
Arguello MarketⓘWhere it’s ranked
Infatuation · SF Standard
Regulars call this Inner Richmond corner grocery The Turkey Sandwich Emporium — roasted turkey on Dutch crunch with pepper jack, avocado and cranberry, worth the line.
The Boys' DeliⓘWhere it’s ranked
Infatuation · SF Standard
The smell of slow-roasting rotisserie chicken pulls you in for the Spitfire — chicken, bacon, jalapeños and sriracha mayo — sauced to the max on Dutch crunch.
