The fat and grissle from #8. Very little good pastrami pieces.
Kathy B.

Good: great roll, condiments yummy, iced coffee good Bad: salad selection at 12:30 pm very limited . Only one available was coleslaw. Worst pastrami I've had in a long time. Half the meat was gristle or the dried out or fatty edge of the meat. Very little good pieces of meat. Eaten here for years. Quite a disappointment.

Tri tip sammie

So I have to preface this by saying, I've been here 3 times now. Every single time something has gone wrong. So hear me out... On all 3 occasions I've gone to this establishment, they have either run out of certain types of bread or certain deli meats. So then when I call ahead of time, nobody answers the phone...ever. and because they're always out of something, I always have to change my initial order. And then when they say, why didn't you call? I let them know that I did, but nobody ever answers. This leaves me credibly frustrated, and for that reason, I give them a 3. I do enjoy the Italian sub, the Reuben and the classic peppered, Turkey sandwich. They are also very fairly priced. As a whole experience, I give them a 3. I'm hoping when they move to Pleasant Hill. It'll be a little bit better.

It's a good sandwich spot. Tons of options. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I wouldn't say it's slap your momma amazing like everyone else but it's good. Fairly priced at $10 bucks for my Tri-Tip sandwich. The bread was fresh, all ingredients were good quality. When we left, there was a line out the door. Food came quick despite how busy they were, all the workers were friendly. Would I go back? Maybe if I was right down the street. I could make that same sandwich at home. There wasn't anything overly incredible about it for me to keep coming back all the time.

Sandwiches were amazing! My BF ordered them so I can't remember which ones he got. I know he asked for extra sauce and that was such a good call. Be prepared to wait a little bit, but it's very worth it. They have a ton of chip options as well.

#1 Italian Sub
Cynthia P.

This is sandwich shop is soooo good! I don't tend to visit many deli shops but am so glad that I got a chance to try this out. My company decided to group order from this shop and it was 10/10. Service was great. I had gave them a quick call prior to sending in an order to ask what was in their ingredients (such as pesto). I don't eat dairy so I just wanted to make sure! I ended up ordering the Italian sub with no cheese. The balance of flavor was perfect! Everything tasted freshly made! I will definitely come by in person next time!

Steak & Peppers
Paul C.

Morucci's is my favorite East Bay spot when I'm craving some kind of sandwich! There is always a long line if you don't order ahead, but it's totally worth it for the abundance of options and the quality of the food! The steak and peppers is my favorite! Generous amount of steak and the sautéed peppers are sweet perfection. So good! The chicken caesar sandwich is a close number 2 for me. For breakfast, the bagel sandwiches are also delicious. Thanks Morucci's for consistently serving great food!

#5 no dressing add Mayo on Dutch crunch
Kelly S.

By far hands down my favorite sandwich spot I'm from South Bay and I regularly crave these! But once a blue moon get a chance to grab one I order the: - Turkey with Bacon on Dutch Crunch: good protein, pickled yellow peppers, tomatoes/lettuce, chewy & crunchy bread! Soo good 5/5 stars Lots of parking in the back parking lot of street parking infront of the store. Good amount of seating, chips, & drinks! Oh and also, sooo many sandwich combos

extra Avocado
Dineo M.

the good: i definitely understand local love and pride they place has been able to achieve! in a sea full of sandwiches chains, this place fees like a breath of fresh air. their ingredients taste so fresh and the sandwiches taste so homemade, i feel light and great after my sandwich. the bad: i got a toasted Dutch roll, which became extremely hard to eat. had even get some water to wash it down at a certain point. plus i did paid extra for the avocado and was so disappointed so the little avocado i got! if i have to pay for that extra avocado, i WANT my avocado experience in EVERY bite the Great: the service!! welcomed in with smiles. it was my first time at this deli and felt overwhelmed by options. the kind guy ringing me up, practically had to hold my hand during the whole process, but never once made me feel inconveniencing and instead was very helpful and nice. another reason I would definitely come back and give this burger.

Andrew S.

A very popular deli with affordable prices on deli sandwiches! So many tasty sounding sandwiches, ended up trying the Tri Tip sandwich and the Pesto Chicken. Waited a good 35 minutes to order and love that they sell large bags of chips, family size! You can order online before you head over too, might save you a long wait to order. The Tri-tip sandwich is a Steak sandwich with melted cheese, horse radish, on garlic ciabatta (romaine, tomato, peppers, and onions. The pesto chicken sandwich is a Pesto, mayo, lettuce, spinach, tomato, bacon, chicken , cheese, with avocado. Both sandwiches were quite tasty and asked for Dutch Crunch on both. I'll definitely be back to try more of their sandwiches. The parking is horrible, limited street parking and a tiny parking lot. It was quite busy and everyone was hunting for a table after they ordered!

Been coming here for the last 20+ years. Still hands down one of the best sandwhiches on this planet. Also, the pricing feels like it hasn't changed in 10 years. I would pay more no problem. Can't say that would fly for everyone but definitely worth it. I like to sub the ciabatta for Dutch Crunch and add avocado.

Dutch crunch roll with salami and pepper turkey and everything
Trevejah J.

This place is such a hidden gem, it's in the cuts of Walnut Creek you wouldn't just stumble upon it. When I remember, which would be after work or in the late afternoon when they are closed or sold out of bread. All that to say...Go early and call ahead. I was smart to go on a Sunday afternoon, it was busy and had a good 15-20 minute wait time but it was worth the wait. The staff was super friendly and had so much patience for people who don't know what they want or had to read all they text messages to get all the orders in. Definitely worth the drive and wait definitely my new favorite. So many aren't worth the wait and overpriced. That pepper turkey is amazing!

Cold case
Dave G.

Really? This is the number one sandwich shop? I understand the new owners are thinking about opening new locations. I would focus on this one first. Just bc there's a line going out the door doesn't mean you don't have serious issues A cold case like this one is indicative of much deeper problems and the open kitchen lets the customer witness other worrying things, like a sandwich maker repeatedly wiping her hands on a disgusting brown towel The roast beef sandwich I had was ok with fresh Semifreddi bread, but swimming in mustard. I mean, I love mustard, but that was ridiculous. Other customers seemed anxious with the service, but the employees were having a good time chatting and grooving to the Latino beats playing in the kitchen This was *not* what I was expecting, shocking really

#14 Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato w/Avocado on a ciabatta
Larry M.

Ordered online this time, made the process much easier, and got lucky, the one handicapped parking spot was open!! Ordered a BLTA on ciabatta roll, and a High Maintenance salad. The sandwich was a little light on bacon , and the shredded lettuce didn't work well for me. The salad was fantastic, tons of stuff (I added artichokes), I was able to make two salads out of the box.

Not "no lettuce"

In early years it wasn't, but I've been there many sundays now. Website shows open 8am- 4pm.

Do they still accept fax orders? I haven't been in a while and haven't been able to find the fax number.

no Fax but Yes for TEXT...

Do you guys offer any hot chili oil or sauce for the sandwiches?

What size are their sandwiches ? Wondering if they are comparable to little luca in south sf ..12" standard size there

No sandwich other than little luca is that big. Quality better at moruccis imo

I work for a school in WC. We'd like to order food from this place to have it delivered on Friday, May 7th at 10:45am. There will be about 30 people who will order. I need to know when is the deadline to submit their order and also the menu?

I would call and let them know you have a big order and get their fax number or email. That's how we would normally order for work

Why does Morucci's charge additional 50 cents to takeout orders?

Extra packaging.... even though EVERYTHING is to go now

Does it offer gluten free bread?

Yes they have Gluten-free bread. 🙂 sandwiches are very tasty fresh

Does their phone not work? This is the second time I've tried calling for over 30 min and goes straight to "Verizon wireless...phone call could not be completed as called party is busy". I did not call during lunch hours so I don't quite understand.

They accept phone orders before 11am.

Can you kindly share me what kind of bread you can select from?

Sourdough, Dutch Crunch, Wheat, Ciabatta, Focaccia and Soft Rolls.

Are they open Christmas Eve?

No

Is there new hrs? We have tried multiple time to come get sandwiches and are closed by 5! Also try to call and no one answers before 5!

The posted hours are 7PM on the weekdays, but I work down the street and they have been locking their doors around 6:30 each night. I even try to call between 5:30-6 to place an order for pick up, and they do not pick up their phone. It's very…

With only a week's notice, they were able to accommodate our event without any issue. The food came 30 mins early which gave us enough time to prepare the lunch area for 70 people. From the time of order to food drop off, they were super nice, friendly, and accommodating. They helped bring the food up even though we had enough people to do it. All the food were prepped as if we were getting it fresh dining in at the restaurant. Every dish was cooked perfectly and packed tons of flavor. The price was pretty reasonable as well. Hands down, the chimichurri skirt steak was my favorite paired with the sofrito rice and the boniato mash. The plantain crusted cod was really good with the cuban corn saute. We will definitely be using Havana Catering again for our future events!

The decor and arrangements were good too but I would say they might look better indoors than outdoor. They had a lot of decor options to choose from. The only con I had was with the menu; it is not descriptive enough to understand the ingredients and meat.

The Persian Chicken Kabobs are excellent. Between Santorini and Danville International Market I think Diamondbite's has the juiciest by far. Grilled to perfection. For the ground meat kabobs, I can only recommend the Beef version. The ground chicken was dry and overly seasoned - salty to the point of being inedible. The saffron rice is also good, though some more oil would be nice. They also offer extreme contrast of flavors - a side of pickled cabbage that's really tart and a single jalapeño pepper that's spicy for me. Definitely plan to try some of their other offerings. They ran out of Aush Resteh last time so it'll be something to look forward to forward too.

Carol connected with me almost immediately after I inquired about her services. Her planning with me was smooth and easy and any questions I had she was right on top of it and answered with such a quick response. At the event everything was as described. The food was absolutely delicious and a perfect amount. I couldn't have asked for more. The service from her staff was top notch. We included bartender services and she came up with a variety of signature drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic that were also amazing. So honestly from beginning to end, having never hired a caterer before, I was so pleased and would definitely recommend this business highly.

Carol's team exceeded my expectations. Carol was professional and easy to work with as we were planning my menu dinner options. She customized the menu to incorporate Asian flavors and to accommodate my guests who were gluten and dairy free. On the day of the wedding, her staff and bartenders executed excellently. They were extremely professional, efficient and kind. My guests complimented on the delicious passed hor dourves during cocktail hour. We heard great feedback from our guests about the bartenders hired through Carol. Her staff made sure we had a plate with all the dinner dishes at the beginning of dinner. The transition from the buffet dinner to dessert went smoothly. And the best surprise of all was the cleanup at the end of the night. Carol's team collected all guests' dishes, cleared the plates, and put all the dishes in the rental crates where they came from. Coming home the next morning, I was expecting to walk into a complete mess, but her team also left my kitchen cleaner than it was before they came. As tired newlyweds, the clean up was honestly priceless. To top it all off, Carol donates a percentage of her proceeds to local charities. After our wedding we were able to select a local charity from the list of charities Carol partners with. What a wonderful way to give back to the community! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Carol to cater my wedding. Thank you Carol!
