The only place I would have a sweet roll!! Sweet roll and chicken salad is FIRE!! The best.

Expected More Lorenzo's Sandwich Shop at 911 Villa Ave in Belmont, CA, offers a thoroughly middle-of-the-road, mediocre deli experience that satisfies a basic hunger but doesn't quite live up to its local neighborhood hype. On the positive side, the family-owned, baseball-themed shop serves up very generous portions, and their signature, secret garlic sauce adds a genuinely tasty kick to popular picks like turkey on a Dutch Crunch or sourdough roll. However, the experience hits a routine baseline because they do not toast their bread, and the cold cuts are sliced a bit too thick for a truly premium sandwich. Furthermore, the logistics hold it back: the small venue has zero seating for a comfortable sit-down lunch, there is no customer restroom, and the wait times can drag significantly if you get caught in the peak lunch rush. It is a perfectly functional option for a quick, no-frills takeout bite if you are already in the Peninsula area, but it lacks the execution to make it a standout destination. Tip: Dutch Crunch Roll is dry and just not that good. Excitement turned to disappointment quickly. Thanks read more

Absolutely delicious. 5 stars for the food. Ambiance not really anything to say as it was take out. The only negative is that it is very complicated to park and get your food, that's the only hassle. But the sandwiches are delicious. I ordered a platter ahead of time for an event and it went so fast! People loved the food. I love their portions, great for the price. read more

Went here today and got a ham and American on Dutch Crunch. My husband got a Pastrami on rye, with the rye toasted. I loved my sandwich and my husband said his Pastrami was amazing! We will definitely be coming back. The customer service was great, the man taking our order was super helpful, polite and gave good advice on a couple of questions we asked. You order outside, the counter is at the door. You hang out and wait for your sandwich and they call out your name when it is ready. There is no parking lot but you can park on the street. We parked around the block but the short walk was 1) good for your health 2) worth it for the sandwiches! We will be back! read more

Rave reviews brought me to Lorenzo's, and I'm glad I visited. It's not my favorite sandwich spot, for a few reasons - they don't toast their bread, their selection is a little limited, they slice their meats a little thick for my liking and they don't have any seating. But the staff are very friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the sandwiches are generously sized! Overall, not a bad place to pick up some lunch to go. read more

I've been coming to this deli for 15 years now and it never disappoints! I grew up around the area and still find myself making my way back here for their delicious sandwiches even after moving across the bay years ago. This is a Belmont staple! They have amazing sandwiches and their garlic sauce always makes you want to come back. Always amazing customer service too! The lady who took our orders was so sweet and had such great energy. Highly recommend this deli!! read more

I've had sandwiches in Italy and France that I thought were great. But nothing tops good 'ol Americana sandwiches made here in Belmont. I always get the #13 with jalapeños and it's perfect. Been coming here for 15 years and the quality has never wavered. read more

A Belmont Institution! First introduced me to Dutch Crunch almost two decades ago- when you had to jockey for position in line in their teeny space and place your order in something akin to a secret language- 14 on dutch light garlic no tomatoes .... These are hands down best sandwiches! Their garlic sauce is the bomb the meat is always fresh and sliced thin and generous portions to boot! Don't miss out try it today ! read more

I have had 2 sandwiches from here so far and it's great. You've got options here with veggies, spreads and cheese. I have got the turkey sandwich twice once on Dutch crunch and the other on sourdough. It was super tasty and very affordable. I would give it a 10/10 for over all taste and price. I think I will make this my new sandwich spot. read more

This is a little take-out counter off of Ralston. Good sandwiches, fresh ingredients. The have a lot of sandwich options (only a few veg options with 1 sandwich that can be veganized). Most of the sandwiches come with a choice of several rolls or sliced breads, and several toppings (mayo, brown mustard, lettuce, onion, garlic sauce (an oily sauce), tomato, pickle). You also get to choose if the bread is toasted or not. I had the veggie (alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, avocado, no cheese) on toasted, sliced whole wheat with brown mustard, lettuce, and tomato. This was very good, although not too filling, so you might want to have something else as well. Service is efficient and friendly. Parking along the street. read more

The pastrami sandwich is really delicious. The customer service is very friendly and patient, and the food comes out fairly quickly. Everything is freshly made highly recommended! read more

Ordered a sandwich for lunch and was seriously impressed. I got the salami with everything on it except the pickle. The sandwich was massive and packed with meat and toppings. What I really appreciated was that it wasn't overloaded with sauce. The flavors stood out on their own and everything was well balanced. Great portion, fresh ingredients, and super satisfying. read more

Asked the friendly cashier to hook me up with his best recommendation and he DELIVERED. I am new to the area from LA and already found a 10/10 sandwich shop. Shout out to Charlie for cooking this sandwich up! Full disclosure: I love sandwiches and I am not a picky eater I can admire every ingredient in a sandwich shop read more

A must stop if you're in Belmont searching for a good sandwich. Staff are super nice. Sandwiches taste good.

A solid sandwich spot! I tried their Big Combo and Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwiches. We added provolone cheese and had the Big Combo on Dutch crunch bread, and I devoured it! The Big Combo has tons of meat including salami and ham. The sauce they add to these sandwiches is delicious! I also tried their Turkey Bacon Avocado with provolone cheese on Dutch crunch, and this sandwich was equally delicious! They don't skimp on the meat & veggies and these sandwiches, and you can never go wrong with Dutch Crunch bread. I called in my order, since I was ordering 6 sandwiches. It was pretty smooth to pick up the sandwiches, so I recommend calling if you're ordering a lot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and craving a sandwich. read more

Limited bread choices. Couldn't toast our sandwich? And they got a simple order wrong. I wanted to like this place.

customer service is a WOW for me! In a time when customer service seems to have gone down the drain- this place prevails! Kind and efficient staff, amazing subs! be prepared to wait in line during busy hours (12-2pm). They also do not have indoor seating. You basically order at the window and wait curbside to pick up and go! limited street parking out front as well. Recommend for a great sub and service! read more

Great sandwich spot! Walked up and placed an order right before 12pm. Waited less than 10 minutes. I noticed that most people called ahead. My order was placed at the door and I waited with everyone else outside. The store was very small. Got the combo sandwich on sourdough. It came with their garlic spread- I added the jalapeño spread, as well. My sandwich tasted very fresh and delicious. It was a pretty stacked sandwich, so I only ate half. Highly recommend! read more

Came here to try their sandwiches and it didn't disappoint. They do charge for cheese, but honestly their prices and sizes are a great deal! Will come here more often. Order from the door and they'll bring your order out to you. I tried the roast beef and a turkey on Dutch crunch. Both were excellent. They recommended cheddar with my turkey but I think otherwise, maybe a provolone next time. read more

This is the spot! Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. I had the turkey bacon avocado on dutch crunch. Prior to this, I always tried not fresh (?) dutch crunch so I never really understood the love for it, but after getting it here I understand! The bread was fresh and delicious, it showed me what a good dutch crunch is like! Soft but crunchy, wow! The texture on top was great. It was a good experience. I would definitely get dutch crunch again. I found the sandwich to be tasty and the garlic sauce to be working its magic. The lettuce is shredded which I think adds to the mouth feel. Nice crunchy and flavorful bacon. Overall, a great sandwich! read more

Excellent little take-out sandwich shop in Belmont. We tried the chicken salad sandwich and the mortadella & ham sandwich, and both were delicious. Will definitely try it again the next time I'm in Belmont. read more

A hidden gem and great sandwich spot overall. I called ahead to place an order for my sandwich and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I heard the wait can be up to 30 minutes so try to plan accordingly if it's lunch hour! I got the Turkey sandwich with everything on it which comes with a great garlic spread and fresh vegetables and bread. Staff is always very friendly whenever I come here, and the ingredients are always fresh. Keep in mind the limited hours during the day. Definitely recommend! read more

The best, no notes. Super fresh ingredients, some of the best customer service I've ever seen, and absolutely delicious sandwiches. There are plenty of places to get a good sandwich on the peninsula, but I think this is the best. They do get busy (people know Lorenzo's), but I've always been able to call ahead and place a pickup order, never had an issue. read more

I grew up around this shop, and the quality has not changed at all. ~$14 for a sandwich is pretty normal now in the Bay, and it's still great. Highly recommend. read more

Our go-to sandwich place on the peninsula: the 4 (hot pastrami) and 14 (turkey, bacon, avocado). Get the Dutch crunch bread! Also recommend calling your order in, as there can be a line to order. read more

Delicious sandwiches. The Dutch crunch bread with their secret sauce makes a perfect combo for a great sandwich. I suggest calling ahead for your order to avoid lines and quick service. Cute little shop I've grown up next to. read more

This is a nice little hole in the wall sandwhich shop that has been around forever. The service is great. The people are nice. Their sandwich's aren't going to wow you and are not my go to/must have's but they are quality for what you pay for and they do have good flavor. Definitely in the top tier for San Carlos Sandwich shops. read more
