    Meatball sub Meatball Sub
    Shane J.

    Colombo's is a great little neighborhood deli and an easy go-to for a solid sandwich. I definitely recommend using their app to order -- it's much faster than calling, since phone orders often get put on hold. Plus, you earn points through the app, which is a nice perk. It's a perfect spot to grab a sandwich or wrap and take down to the beach on a clear day. I ordered the meatball sub on sourdough, and it was fire -- great flavor and very satisfying. The sandwiches are a good size, though for the price I do wish they were just a little bigger -- still a fair deal overall. Prices are reasonable for the area, and pickup is smooth when ordering online.

    Dutch crunch bread (way too dry)
    Judy M.

    Got some steak sandwiches at $19 each, but it is not the same as before. The steak filling was quite tasty though some bits were just too chewy. I don't know what happened to their Dutch crunch bread, but it was dry and powdery (we got 2 and this Dutch crunch bread was not it), however the sourdough bread was still good. I went back and looked at my previous review and i'm no longer able to vouch for their steak sandwiches.

    just had the most insane steak sandwich here. big improvement from my last visit. the people working here are so kind.

    Colombo's have been on our list for a while so we were excited to try on our free Sunday afternoon. Excellent sandwich, wonderful and friendly customer service. Great location with easy parking. Lots of seating inside and a great selection of chips and sodas. I had the Hobb's Gobbler and my partner had the Godfather. The only reason I'm giving this sandwich spot a 4/5 stars is for the pricing point. Fresh ingredients and delicious bread that really stands out like Colombo's are hard to come by so I get why their prices are slightly higher than other spots. Because of this, I'd come here once in a while as a treat and recommend friends and family to come too.

    Asked for veggies and they never put them in, just a dry ass sandwich.
    Darren L.

    They suck! Can never get the ingredients that you ask for correct, you have check and open up the sandwich to make sure it's correct, sad business. Not doing that.

    Don't give up!!! Though you can see some of the struggles, they are a long standing institution in Pacifica, and need your support. And the sandwiches are still great! Please contribute to your local businesses. Otherwise big corporate will take over.

    Is this bread or croutons?
    Ubique K.

    I'm really sad to have to write this review, but I have to say, I have never in my life seen a business fall as hard as Colombo's has in the last 20 years. This deli is a shell of its former self. There are no longer grocery items, Italian imports, or freshly made Italian specialties. There is no energy or excitement. Nothing. The deli is basically 90% empty and it is extremely dirty. It's creepy actually and very uncomfortable. Ohhh Colombo's what a sad state you are in my old friend. Now to the Sandwiches. Wow, they were so bad I could only eat half of one before tossing the 2nd half to my dog. The bread was stale and literally breaking apart, as if it were made from one gigantic crouton. This bread was likely 4-5 days old, extremely dry, and falling apart b/c it was so brittle and stale. It was 100% not edible, and if I hadn't driven home 20 miles after purchasing it, I would have returned it. The portion size of the meat has come down by around 60-70% of what it used to be. These were large, robust subs for many, many years, and now they're skimpy and embarrassing looking sandwiches served on 5-day old bread that should more appropriately be used for making croutons. The meats are still passable, but the entire sandwich experience was so weak, there is literally no reason to ever return to this establishment. It's a shame b/c I am a multi-decade regular. Also, I wouldn't even think about getting any of the salad items in the deli case, they all looked old, definitely not fresh, and very unsanitary. COLOMBO'S - If you are going out of business, just close your doors and move. Don't raise prices and fleece your customers on the way out the door. That's lame.

    The Godfather
    Cassh B.

    This place is in an old neighborhood, but has a steady flow of customers coming in and out most of them was raving about the sandwiches. There was music playing so the ambience was it at home feeling. the cashier was very friendly. We ordered just so that we could share. I ordered the clubhouse which was on crunchy bread and it was really good. We also ordered the Godfather. The bread was a little hard, but that was the type of bread it was. It had excellent flavor so I wished I could've combined the of the Godfather with the bread of the clubhouse, overall this was a good experience

    The bread makes the sandwich and the homemade bread here is delicious!! I got the sourdough and it's crispy on the outside (without hurting the roof of you mouth) while soft and fluffy on the inside. It also did not get soggy at all and held the ingredients really well. We ordered a toasted pastrami sandwich with provolone, lettuce, jalapenos, onions, pepperoncini, mayo, garlic sauce, and mustard. I loved how they use a fattier cut of pastrami here, it was juicy and wasn't dry at all. The sandwich came out to $20 after tax and tip, definitely pretty pricey for a sandwich. It was also on the smaller side compared to other deli spots. It's busy here but they're pretty fast and efficient. There was ~5 parties in line ahead of me and I was in & out in 15 minutes. There's 2 tables inside if you want to enjoy your sandwich in the deli!

    My husband and I love this deli for delicious sandwiches when coming to Pacifica. I have a soft spot for a traditional Italian style deli like this one. They have a fairly no frills counter style approach but have great speciality and more basic "build it yourself" sandwich options with various meat and veggie options, beyond just the typical lettuce tomato onion, you can add avocado, artichoke, etc, as well as an array of meats and cheese. You can get hot or cold sandwiches on their freshly baked bread. One thing I would recommend is calling ahead or ordering online because on a weekend around lunch time they can get a little busy and the wait for a sandwich can be 10-15 mins or longer.

I haven't been here in ages and I happen to pass by when I noticed them. I checked their reviews and they seemed legit. Usually, new places that pop up have tons of "fake" reviews. IYKYK! Just like the place is named after, they not only offer Subs, but it's a basically a mini-mart that sells Halal meats and Middle Eastern and Mediterranean grocery items. They also have all types of Baklavas, that were sweet, rich and decadent. I've even purchased my very Turkish Coffee and cezve - a small pot with a long handle designed to brew finely ground coffee over a stovetop or sand. The nice gentleman instructed me on how to brew Turkish coffee. I just googled the rest. Anyways, on my first visit, I ordered their Pastrami Wrap. It's basically Pastrami wrapped in a Pita with all the fixins' but with a twist on the sauce. If l'm not mistaken, it's either Tahini or Tzatziki sauce. It gave it a different flavor that was quite delightful. Be careful though as it can get messy as this thing will drip down your hands and clothes as I found out the hard way. On my second visit, I was so impressed by the wrap that I ordered it again. I was more careful to eat it this time around, but it still dripped down my shorts. That's what I get for eating in the car. They have 10 items on their Subs menu, and they all look good. Aside from the Pastrami Wrap, they also have chicken, roast beef and turkey. They have five meat-type subs and one tuna sub all reasonably priced starting from $10.95 to $14.95, which is a great deal in this day of age. The people working here are very nice and friendly. As I mentioned earlier, the gentleman who was providing me information on Turkish coffee was also looking out for my best interest. Instead of upselling me something, he gave me a more practical advice on what to purchase. All in all, a friendly and inviting place where they offer delicious and affordable sandwiches, to which I will certainly be back for more.

I was also watching another food video the other day that had Sambusas, so I was surprised they had it there. So the first time I tried ordering at this store, my order was cancelled. Probably either they ran out of something or they were unable to serve food. I was like dang :( ok whatever. I tried ordering again and thankfully my order went through! I was so excited to try both the chicken wrap and the Sambusa. REVIEW OF EACH ITEM: -Chicken Wrap: I REALLY LOVE how flavorful this was. I really enjoyed the Malawah bread because it was thin enough to hold it as a wrap, but also flakey with a nice chew. I really loved the flavors of this wrap - it was savory, spicy, garlicky, sour, etc. It was just so balanced of a wrap and that first bite was yummy!! -Sambusa: I only got 1 to try out, but it was good! It was a bit small, the outer layer was a bit dry, but the filling was very flavorful. I think I should have gotten a few of them to have as a snack, but maybe next time I'll get a few more. I'll definitely be ordering that wrap again!! It was delicious and SO filling.
