San Jose offers a wide variety of delicious sandwiches, from the classic deli sandwiches at La Villa Delicatessen, which has been serving quality meats and cheeses since 1968, to the freshly baked artisan sandwiches at Freshly Baked Eatery, which uses high-quality ingredients. If you’re looking for a hearty, overstuffed sandwich, head to Mr. Pickles Sandwich Shop, known for its generous portions like the French Dip with roast beef and melty Swiss. And for a taste of Vietnamese-style banh mi sandwiches, stuffed with ingredients like lemongrass pork, check out Banh Mi Oven. Check out some of the best sandwiches in San Jose!
Zanotto’s
Zanotto’s is a locally owned grocery chain that has a stellar deli counter. You can build your own sandwich with their variety of bread, meats and cheese. Each sandwich is handmade but the quality of the meats makes the sandwiches a way better choice than Subway or Togo’s.
Zanottos also has a selection of premade paninis and baguette sandwiches that can be heated up and purchased. We recommend grabbing the Brown Bag Combo which includes a sandwich, a side of one of their deli salads, a cookie, and a soft drink. Because it’s a grocery store, Zanotto’s has a variety of beverages and desserts.
