  • 1. Molinari Delicatessen

    $

    The whip-quick, no-nonsense, food-smart staff behind the counter at this take-out delicatessen have been serving up the most delicious, and quite possibly the biggest, sandwiches in town since 1896. Grab a number, revel in the time warp that Sinatra in the background provides, marvel at the Italian-style cured meats, and let the artists build you an unforgettable combo; then head to Washington Square Park for a picnic. The family-run shop is helmed by the fourth generation; its current torch holder is Italian-Filipino Nicholas Mastrelli, one of the Piedmont-hailing original owner's great-grandsons. Nick takes great pride in upholding his family's legacy and creating community with regulars.

  • 3. Deli Board

    $$ | SoMa

    Everyone has their opinion about the greatest sandwiches in this city filled with amazing bread; but more often than not, locals will name this quirky, humorous lunch specialist. Here, sandwiches are truly an art and usually are taller than can be eaten in one bite. Lunch choices are split between the main menu and "board" specials. Most guests take their sandwiches to-go.

  • 4. Le Beau Market

    $ | Nob Hill

    Neighborhood residents love the dauntless Le Beau, one of the few remaining family-run grocery stores in the city. It's fun to browse around, and their sandwiches are a highlight. If you've never had a sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread (a semisweet, softer, baguette-like roll with a spotted crust thanks to a topping of rice flour), this is a perfect place to pick one up to go.

It's the signature takeaway spot for Marina Green and Crissy Field picnic-goers and has been around since the days of the Hoover Administration. Beyond sandwiches, the deli specializes in hearty homemade Italian specialties like lasagna and meatballs.

  • 6. Salumeria

    $ | Mission District | Sandwiches

    When chef Thomas McNaughton isn’t hosting dinner guests at Central Kitchen, that restaurant’s courtyard turns into a casual hangout for lunch goers who order from this larder and deli. A half-dozen sandwiches as well as salads are on the menu, with daily specials. The pasta salad is made with famed Flour + Water pasta (another McNaughton enterprise), while the salumi is made in-house. You can also provision up here, as the place also serves as a specialty grocer.
