WHY For huge, exceptionally tasty sandwiches made from impeccable Italian cheeses, meats and seasonings.

WHAT For a fast meal you won’t forget, skip Belmont Shore’s chain places and head to this tiny market and deli for a sandwich (grilled or not) filled with things like fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, turkey, broccoli, roasted peppers and fresh basil. There’s nowhere to eat, so take it to the nearby beach or back to work. One sandwich will feed two with gusto. Another branch just across the OC line in Seal Beach.

WHO Beach picnickers, neighbors and loyal followers coming from as far as Downey.
