New ownership SUUUUCKS. They accept way too many orders; sandwich consistency has gotten worse, and wait time are terrible. Have been waiting for 90 minutes; which is the new record, up from an hour last weekend... This used to be a locals spot, they blew it up and never get it right. Travesty. #BringRobBack. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday around 2pm and immediately got hit with the delicious smell of a deli. A cozy sandwich shop with a couple indoor tables and a lot more outside seating. A lot of options in sandwiches, chips, and drinks. #5 California Club - loaded with turkey and the perfect amount of crispy bacon. Got it on a toasted Dutch crunch roll that brought it all together. #15 Avocado, Sprouts, and Cheese - On a soft wheat roll with the crunchiest cucumbers. All veggies were very fresh Parking was limited with a small parking lot in the back and street parking. Welcomed by friendly staff that grabs your order over the counter and then they send you to get in line to pay at the register. You can also place online orders. The wait wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon and definitely worth it. Easily became one of my new fav sandwich shops! read more

I was so excited to try out this spot and unfortunately i found it very underwhelming. Looking at the menu, the prices seem very affordable. However, the sandwich itself was smaller than I expected. So, I guess the price checks out? The biggest let down was definitely the amount of meat (or lack of) that we got. I've never gotten such a skinny sandwich at a deli before. My Caesar sandwich was all bread, a bit of turkey, and a tiny bit of cheese and dressing. The lettuce pieces I got were mostly the weird stem parts instead of the romaine leaves. We also got an Italian sandwich. I've never seen an Italian sandwich with such little cold cuts on it. Just look at the picture. Positives: the cashier was pretty nice. also, the ciabatta bread was very soft but crunchy. They have a patio outside with shade that was nice to sit on. read more

Came in to address an issue with my order due to the mods not being followed for allergy restrictions. Gentleman came from the kitchen to resolve the issue in a timely manner. Following that, I was surprised to hear the guy with the stache making comments about the overall engagement. Stating this is not chipotle when referring to the mods on the sandwich to his other coworker behind the register. Hospitality is about being guest focused. One star is for the lackluster display by mustache. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

The best sandwich in the area. There's a reason why the lines out the door. Come quick! They run out of bread sometimes. There's outdoor and indoor seating and people finish fast enough to get a good seat usually. It can be quite crowded, but it's all worth it. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I would consider this spot a hole in the wall/hidden gem. I can tell this is a very popular spot because even 30 minutes from closing they still have people popping in for a sandwich. I feel like to get the best experience here you have to either order ahead and pickup, or get there early enough to have your choice of bread. I arrived 30 minutes before closing and only have a choice of 3 types of breads. I ordered the 3 1/2 on the baguette roll. For me it was kind of small. 12 bites and it was done. Yeah I actually counted lol. It tasted really good though. The Flavors were there but the size for me was just kinda small. My friends who normally get sandwiches here even said the sandwich was kinda small and it was most likely because we got the last choice of bread. I do want to come here again, but I would get here earlier so I can get my choice of bread. Their menu is also huge in my opinion, plenty of options. I genuinely had a hard time deciding what i wanted to eat. Nonetheless, the sandwiches tasted good. The staff was friendly and would definitely come back to try more sandwiches. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Looking for a yummy sammie, found it - Morucci's Deli, really hits it out of the ball park! Much of their meats are cooked there, fresh turkey, roast beef, chicken - so the sandwiches are fresh, from the various meats to the breads. Service - there was a line out the door, folks seemed fined with waiting. Service is moving as fast as it can, dealing with online orders & the line out the door. Ambiance very casual; there's seating outside & about 3 tables inside. Lots of street parking & around the back. Shall definitely be back. read more

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. read more

Needed to pickup sandwiches for birthday celebration. I was unable to place our order online as their system did not offer all the selections I needed.

Morucci's is one of my favorite sandwich spots in the area. I've ordered plenty of sandwiches from them in the past and even to this day, they still haven't let me down. I think it's always great when you just know you aren't gonna have a bad experience no matter what kind of sandwich you order from this place. I even kept real basic this time too. I ordered Oven Roasted Turkey on Wheat and even though I kept it so simple, there still was tons of flavors everywhere. Im such a sucker for a good sandwich spot. I love how the fixings are always fresh and they never mess up the ratio of spread. Their sandwiches just always have the perfect amount of spread. When I go to In and Out, I always ask for extra spread. There is never enough. Im not trying to have no boo boo dry burgers or sandwiches man. I want ALL the flava. I never have a problem with this Morucci's because their sandwiches are always constructed perfectly. If you have never have them and live in the area, nows the time. Get to it. read more

I hate that I always forget to take pics...anyways, this is my second time coming here for a sandwich. 1st time it was a bit busy but they did a great job getting your order out ASAP. 2nd time, I decide to order online to beat the line and I got a text when my sandwiches were ready for pick up. You head to the window, give your name and voila...you are ready to go. It's super hard to choose what sandwich to get because they all look so good!! read more

Morucci's Deli - #6 1/2 Prosciutto (w/ Tomato Mozzarella) - Delis Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Have been wanting to try this spot for a while especially since it's reasonably priced compared to many other sandwich spots in the area. Came on a weekday at lunch and ordered online for pickup. Ordered the: - Number #18 pesto/chicken on a dutch crunch roll: my sister got this one without tomato or avocado and said it was dry, I think if it had all the toppings it wouldn't have been dry - Number #1 1/2 on a dutch crunch roll: rly enjoyed this one and added chips while eating it for more texture - Number #6 1/2 Prosciutto (w/ Tomato Mozzarella) on a ciabatta Roll: disappointing, was sooo soggy and had such little prosciutto that I thought it was a vegetarian sandwich Good sizes and appreciate they're not huge. Can be realistically eaten as a meal. Good prices but felt like they skimped out on meat. read more

Morucci's is still one of the best sandwich shops in the East Bay. If you like good food that is inexpensive, read on. I introduced my buddy George F. to this popular lunch spot on 02/28/2025. We met at 11am and luckily it wasn't too busy. A quick glance of the interior found no major changes since my last visit. Pricing remained very reasonable, with most offerings below $11. We ordered two sandwiches at the counter - a #1 Italian Sub and a #16 Tri-Tip Sandwich. With a couple drinks, the total was about $28. The staff we encountered were friendly and efficient. By the time I finished paying the cashier, the line was out the door. I had the #16 and it was good as usual. It had a decent amount of juicy and flavorful sliced tri-tip. With melted cheese and all the fixings on a garlic ciabatta, it really hit the spot. George seemed to like his sandwich as well. Morucci's is still one of my favorite sandwich spots in the East Bay. Here, you can get a delicious sandwich without breaking the bank. If you have never been here, I definitely recommend them to you. 5 stars. read more

There's usually a really long line out the door but came in to grab a late lunch around 3pm and only 3 parties were ahead of me. Score, I thought. Right as I got to the front the staff took a "catch up" break and put up a "we'll be right back" sign. After about 10 minutes of waiting to order, I waited another 20 mins for just 2 sandwiches to get made. As I was leaving, to top it off, I get yelled at by a female employee for exiting out of the back door, she literally chased after me and said if I ever did that again, I would never be allowed to come back. A pretty extreme threat for a simple mistake without one warning? Sorry I was rushing to my wife and kids who were waiting in the car for what was supposed to be a quick pickup. Been coming here for 20 years and that's never been an issue. Love the sandwiches still but as a loyal customer, definitely will have second thoughts about ever coming back here again after that rude interaction. Excited for the new owners though, one of which I know but they need to get their staff in line. read more

Wow! This is easily the best deli sandwich I've had in the area. If you're craving a sandwich, this is the spot. Theie sandwiches are stuffed with fillings! You can definitely share a sandwich or save half for later. We've been here a few times. The first time, our new parent class did a lunch get-together after class, and we had sandwiches delivered from here. I was blown away by the Chicken & Pesto sandwich which also has avocado too. Both pesto and avocado Amazing! The sandwich surprisingly held up even though the ingredients were moist and it was delivered. My husband and I enjoyed our sandwiches so much and the fact that they travel well that we've picked up from here several times. It's best to order ahead as they get very busy especially around lunchtime during the work week. read more

Make sure you preorder online since it's a popular sandwich spot. I love that they offer big bag of chips here as well! I got a pesto chicken sandwich and tri-tip! Both are so good. My favorite is the pesto chicken. Must try spot! read more

I really wanted to love Morucci's given all the hype but it was just ok for me. Not great unfortunately. I did a custom sandwich and I feel like all I could taste was the bread.

We were expecting a line around noon on a Sunday based on the photo reviews, so we were pleasantly surprised when we visited and were able to order right away. We waited only a couple of minutes before our sandwiches were ready. I ordered the California Club on Dutch crunch, and it was delicious! The sandwich itself isn't huge, but it was still a satisfying portion and left me feeling very full afterward. I highly recommend trying the Dutch crunch. We ate our sandwiches outside and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'll definitely be back to try more options! read more

Delicious and affordable deli sandwiches. Seems like a very popular spot with the locals. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Line was out the door and took 30 minutes to put in an order. I recommend getting the dutch crunch for bread! I'll be back for more sandwiches if I'm in Walnut creek! Parking in this location is pretty bad and it took awhile to find street parking. The tables outside rotate pretty quickly so don't hog a table if you don't have any food! People tend to eat quickly and leave so it wasn't too hard to find a table to eat after we got our sandwich. read more

Definitely a hidden but a IYKYK gem, was recommended this place and thought how good could this little deli be? Passed by the place and saw the line out the door, found street parking and fell into line. Simple ordering system: pick a sandwich, bread and other customizations you want. Pay at check out. Wait for your sandwich to be called out. Went with the Italian Sub on Ciabatta. Salami, mortadella, hot coppa and provolone cheese with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and Italian dressing and Pesto. Wow, wow, wow. This sandwich packed a punch! When I say it hit the spot, it did and I'm pretty sure I inhaled half the sandwich in a few bites. Had to slow down to thoroughly enjoy the rest of it. The Ciabatta is perfect at absorbing the pesto and is nice and spongy interior with enough substance to hold everything together and a nice chew of the crust. Everything tasted fresh, bright, savory and had the perfect acidity from the dressing and peppers. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area! Good to dine out on their patio area or a grab and go. They also have chips here to enjoy with your sandwich. read more

Affordable sandwiches are hard to come by and this is the spot for them. Not only are they affordable, but also deliciously unique. I like The Natural with its cream cheese, sprouts, black olives, and walnuts(!) of all things. Mom loves The Caprese, which I too have had and is also delicious. One thing I wish was slightly better is their tomatoes. After getting farmers market tomatoes all summer long I will admit I'm a bit spoiled. Their chip and soda collection is also pretty impressive. I always get my food to go but they have a little table sitting area along the road in front. Parking is also never an issue, plenty of street parking. read more
