50 Best Delis near South San Francisco

“After looking them up, I thought let’s try it. They’re close to where we were. They were so kind and helpful on how I wanted the sandwich and it’s a great turkey sandwich.! And the price is so reasonable. But the kindness took the cake😊“

“The largest sandwich I’ve ever had at a deli, love the garlic spread. Excellent sandwich!“

“Best selection of non alcoholic drinks out there“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Amazing sandwich for lunchtime, the pasta salad and prepped deli items were incredible and fresh made. This was a great find when we needed to grab a sandwich and head to the beach for the day. They also have a great fresh meat selection if you’re picking up items to take home and cook, plus a selection of Italian pastas, cookies, chips, etc. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and a small local business. If I lived in this neighborhood, I’d be here all the time!“

“Chicken and Bacon ranch wrap.😍“

“The sandwiches are on another level here at M Stop Deli. Stooped by with the family on a recent trip to the city. Small little deli with a few tables to sit and eat. It was busy when we were there but line moves fast. Workers were super nice . Halal sandwiches were great!“

“A true San Francisco treat. Wonderful staff and delicious sandwiches.“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“This was an incredible experience, the sandwiches were soooo good. You can tell the quality is superb. The deli also has a cute cafe inside where they serve really nice drinks (matcha, coffee, etc) with several syrup/flavor options, some of which are seasonal. The deli is also a super close walk to Alamo square and the painted ladies, which elevates the experience.“

“Huge variety of sandwiches, drinks and chips to choose from. They also have salads and breakfast sandwiches.

We had the California Dreamin’ and My Cousin Vinnie on Dutch Crunch, toasted.

The sandwiches are awesome. I liked the shredded lettuce and a vinegar-forward mix that contrasted nicely with the meats.

The only thing that I would have liked a little different is to roll the turkey slices instead of just stacking them, that would improve the mouthfeel and texture.“

“This is one of my favorite spots in the city!
Great paninis for lunch, amazing cheese , cold cuts and many more delicious products.
Everyone working here is really nice.
Definitely worth visiting whenever you’re in Potrero Hill.“

“I was in the Haight looking at all the nincompoops and weirdos when I suddenly got the urge to eat! Then I remembered...Hell, I'm on Haight street...if I walk into a restaurant down here they'll spit on my food for sure! Ahhhhhh ..then I realized I could go to Amal's Deli and Market where the customers are treated with respect and honesty no matter who they are, even us conservatives! And besides..the food is Amazing!
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“When your establishment is named Deli Man, you better excel at deli items. This little shop did not disappoint. Amazing sandwiches, amazing salads, and welcoming staff. The ambiance is corner store vibe, but the personalized quick service and decent pricing make it a must-visit. I look forward to returning when tri tip and other grill items return or sooner!“

“Great job Nice people Excellent service“

“Straight fire. I got the city girl on dutch, no mayo. Great vibes. Seriously. Just go.

I dont even live by here, but I'll definitely be finding excuses to stop by!

And they have hella Tony's chocolate flavors! 🍫“

“Took it next door to the bird that mocks tequila. Got the muffaletta. Definitive spicy. I was warned, and the warning was justified.
But I like spicy.

All together delicious we'll definitely return multiple times.

In fact I already have.“

“Super friendly and welcoming staff! Had the bacon and turkey deluxe sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll. Bread came toasted and meat and cheese melted. Was going to save the other half when I saw how huge it was but I shamelessly devoured the whole thing. Cannot wait to be in the area again. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been coming here for years. 30 Ordered my usual burrito I am so sad to say This is the third time this has happened And have heard others complain lately too But the portion of meat given to me was so hard and dry I couldn’t eat it The food was barely warm Not sure if cook had a bad day or what And the price just since I last ordered went up Another $3 I’m so disappointed I never see bad reviews But sorry amigos This was not good“

“The service was great! The coffee here is also good.“

“I had the pleasure of stopping by Clancey's Market after reading great reviews about their sandwiches. We were politely greeted, and while our sandwiches were made we were permitted to shop around. Our sandwiches were delicious and also packaged up and delivered to us at their outdoor tables. Great food. Great service. Can't wait to come back.“

“You may not want to leave.
Really, really great sandwiches, indoor and out door seating, lots of snack options, and an impressive wine selection. Peter is great, super nice, and extremely engaging. Just a charming and delicious neighborhood fixture!“

“I work in this neighborhood and love this place. The sandwiches are always on point. the prices are good and the staff is very welcoming and nice. BLT is a pretty simple sandwich but I am a snob when it comes to a BLT. Theirs was perfect, just how I ordered and everything was perfect.“

“One of our routine stops in the morning before hitting the job site. The challah scramble with some added hot links is a go to, same for the hot link croissant. Great drink selection.
Breakfast and lunch - nice variety of choices 🤙🏼“

“Looking around for a veggie sandwich and was pleasantly surprised! I don’t often eat from delis so not familiar with the corner store deli sandwich variety.
But well good sandwich. I did not get a photo because I ate it so quickly. I got the veggie on Dutch crunch they don’t have a vegan meat to add on but it wasn’t missed. I would get the same sandwich again.“

“Great place for a fresh cheeseburger!“

“I got the California as I usually do. It's so good hot and so juicy. Highly recommend coming here“

“🤩Hands the down the best sausage and bacon anywhere!!!“

“the best sandwich in town“

“November 2025:
Came here for lunch and shared a clubber sandwich and the spicy tuna salad 🥗. Both were very tasty.

The clubber is a huge sandwich with lots of turkey, bacon on a soft ciabatta roll. Would definitely get this again.

Salad had a large variety of ingredients. Miso ginger vinaigrette dressing was excellent 👍. Tuna tartare was tasty 😋. Would also get this delicious salad again.

Also took the smores rice crispy snacks. They were a bit stale 😢. Would not get this again.

Overall, liked my sandwich and salad 🥗. Would come back for more delicious food.“

“A must go to while in San Francisco. Best sandwiches and liquor selection. ❤“

“What a great find on our ride home! We got to talk to Gordo and hear the fabulous story about how his family has preserved his Mama's recipes. The food was fresh, delicious and made to order, and met our craving for a great deli! They were able to accommodate my mom's dietary limitations. The sandwiches were huge in a good way! Try the Cubano or the Philly. YUM! We tried their mama's meatballs and had to take some home for dinner. Thanks Gordo!“

“I LOVE this neighborhood gem. Not only do they make delicious, fresh sandwiches, yummy piroshkis and other deli staples the family that runs the place are just lovely; friendly, warm and helpful to a person. This is the kind of small business we should all be supporting more, me included!!! Go to Rossi's and enjoy the food, the drinks and the vibe.“

“everything is delicious!!1“

“This awesome establishment is located in Union Square not the Financial District.“

“Semi truckers!RDM is in 2nd building, the one in front of what map shows. Delivery dock in back of the building. You have to figure out how to get to the back side because the entrance is curved in a ONE WAY fashion. Fast and easy unload. Smiling faces“

“My go-to sandwich spot in this airport for years - and the only airport sandwich spot I always look forward to going to. They’re quick, you get to choose your ingredients, and if you ask for avocado, because it’s California, they give you lots of nice fresh avocado. I think I’ll go there now!“

“Our post-wedding WiseSons Sunday catered brunch in our home exceeded all expectations.

Two assigned staff, Zane and Vincent, showed up on time, set up the entire brunch to perfection, kept everything running so smoothly, tidied up, replenished so that we could be 100% present to our 70 guests.

There were probably more instances than I can name where they went above and beyond, so I will only describe one.

I thought I had ordered vegan cream cheese for our handful of vegan guests, but I must have forgotten to put it in the order. They saw a few avocados in the kitchen and (this was all their idea after first offering to go out and buy some vegan cream cheese) they whipped up a guacamole for our vegan guests to spread on their bagels!

We love that you provided your own waste and composting (our bins are overflowing from this past week of festivity) and that when they left the house, everything that could be stored in the fridge was stored and there was no sign they were ever even here. The kitchen was spotless! We had great Wise Sons leftovers the day after (this morning). We are thrilled that we hired Wise Sons to cater our brunch and would do it again. Highly recommend!“

“I stayed at a hotel up the street and stopped in here for a great affordable breakfast. The egg and cheese bagel sandwich was tasty with a generous amount of melted cheddar cheese- yum!

They also have sandwiches, coffee, and milk tea. They have a few provisions too like drinks, candy, and chips.“

““These sandwiches are to live for!” Kelsey has amazing energy, made to order, these sandwiches are great fresh or toasted & come in a verity of breads meats and cheeses. If you don’t prefer meat, theirs a list of veggies you can throw on that sub! I’m there 3 to 4 days for lunch though out the week order on the toast app“

“A story of three friends including one focused on how Food ties into social interaction and cultural understanding Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen began in 2010, their expansion from The Mission flagship all the way down to Culver City thanks to “California-inspired Jewish deli food with roots in tradition and an eye on the future; for Jews who like food and food lovers who like Jews.” Founded by Evan Bloom, Ari Bloom and Leo Beckerman, each bringing unique skills to an operation focused on making nearly everything in-house, it was minutes after 9:00am on Christmas Day that the Deli on 24th Street was found quiet, the lack of queue seeing everything served within ten minutes at prices far below the Bay Area average. Using good ingredients, natural Beef Pastrami with complex spicing layered between real Jewish Rye just $15.50 with a Kosher Pickle, guests are also encouraged to order Matzo Ball Soup with a big Dumpling floating in Broth laced with Dill. No Babka on this morning, all of it committed to pre-orders, 72% Bittersweet Guittard Chocolate instead finds itself suspended in Cookies with flakes of Salt while Rugelach for $2 a bite is fairly basic considering the rest. Not forgetting a Bagel, well made with a good skin and plenty of chew, Cream Cheese comes complimentary just as good Butter, real Maple Syrup and Jam do with Challah French Toast cooked golden but still custardy in the middle.“

“Cute little deli and market on the east side of downtown San Mateo. There’s a decent selection of hand-made gourmet sandwiches, and a small shopping area while you wait for the sandwiches to be made. Portions are decent and reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Limited free street parking.“

“blueberry pancakes are great“

“Lived near this place for years and it has always been a reliable and welcoming place. Many mid-day refreshments and late night snacks have been bought here, and I will always keep coming back. Love this market and everyone who works there!“

“I've always had great sandwiches from here. The place looks unassuming, but the ingredients are always top-notch. Fresh and tasty. I just devoured a chicken pesto sandwich. Big, thick slices of chicken, really good pesto and fresh lettuce, tomatoes and red onion -- all nicely warmed up on toasted bread.“

“We both orders omlettes and didn’t realise it was egg whites rather than the yolks but it was fine I really enjoyed them tho my husband said they were ok. Coffee was great too and the service was so good , it’s definetly worth a visit as prices are reasonable too. Staff are also very friendly“

“The place is always clean and the food is delicious. Karen is always so nice and friendly. I've been going here for a few years now. She always makes me feel so welcomed.
I typically go here for the breakfast burritos or breakfast sandwiches. My husband likes getting the mexican breakfast burrito and I typically to a sausage and bacon breakfast burrito. The prices have gone up quite a bit since when we first started going but I guess it's par for the course in the food industry.
Food is always served hot and fresh. We typically order and then go inside Home Depot to look around and see what's on sale, or buy everyday items we need“
