The sandwich is celebrated as a versatile, handheld classic that remains consistently delicious. San Francisco hosts a wide range of sandwich styles, including banh mi, Philly-style hoagies, and oversized subs. Lucinda's Deli & More, located near Alamo Square in NoPa, opened in 2020 and quickly gained a reputation for exceptional sandwiches. Baguette sandwiches there are packed with abundant filling, often resembling burritos, and feature carefully balanced salt, sweet, and spice. Signature items include a spicy tuna melt layered with pickled jalapeƱos, cheddar, arugula, and tomato. Most menu choices are reliably satisfying.
Much like the creators of dry shampoo, puffer jackets, or blenders, the inventor of the sandwich really was onto something. The handheld classic is endlessly versatile and consistently delicious. And lucky for us, San Francisco is a fantastic sandwich town with plenty of banh mi, Philly-style hoagies, and massive subs that could double as a doorstop. Here are the 20 best sandwich spots in SF.
Walk anywhere in the vicinity of Alamo Square and you'll probably see a few people on a park bench, gazing lovingly at a tightly-wrapped sandwich from Lucinda's Deli & More. The NoPa spot just opened in 2020, but is already considered SF sandwich royalty-their baguette sandwiches are stuffed with so much filling that they look like burritos, and each has expertly balanced levels of salt, sweet, and spice.
