    Half of Nickos Favorite
    Diane R.

    We were recommended to try this food truck it is a food truck parked in front of an Altadena drive up dairy. The food truck is tiny but the sandwiches are large! One sandwich is enough to feed to two people or one person over several meals. The bread and ingredients are fresh and tasty.These are great sandwiches. We had a turkey pesto and Nico's special both were excellent. Usually turkey sandwiches are bland but this turkey pesto was very flavorful but messy. We called in our order at opening and the sandwiches were ready as promised.

    Just 1/2 of the Nicko's Special

    I was feeling like having a cold deli sandwich today and found Nicko's Sandwiches on Yelp. What a find! You can park in the lot at Verdugo Dairy, where this food truck resides. Order at the truck window and you'll be given a beeper to alert you when your sandwich is ready. I ordered the Nicko's Special whole . The bread was fresh and just the right thickness to hold it together without being too much. It had a little crunch, without your bite not squeezing the contents out. I loved the combination of quality ingredients. Meats, mozzarella, ricotta, pepperoncini, tomatoes.....yummmmm!!!! So much goodness! The gentleman taking my order was very nice and thoughtful, setting off the beeper just as the sandwich was being wrapped up. I'll let all my friends and family know about the great food here. Definitely will be back!

    I have been wanting to try the sandwiches from Nickos truck and finally I got to today while in the area. There are a few sandwiches on the menu but I got the Nikos favorite. It was so delicious, made with freshly baked bread loaded with mortadella salami prosciutto pistachio pesto tomatoes olives mozzarella arugula balsamic. So so good. It's a flavor bomb in your mouth. It's a good size sandwich fairly priced. It's easily shareable since it's loaded with stuff. Customer service is friendly and welcoming. Must try.

    The veggie sandwich is sooooo good!!!

    The veggie sandwich is sooooo good!!! Nicki's catered one of our events and the presentation was beautiful and ooooh the veggie sandwich is ahhhmazing.

    Half a Nickos Favorite!

    Interestingly enough, I've never been to Nicko's. A friend on the west side told my wife she was bringing over the best sandwich ever and we had Nickos favorite dropped off for us 40 minutes later. Now considering this was made in a food truck, driven 40 minutes, and sat in a bag smelling up the foyer while we exchanged pleasantries and gifts, it's pretty incredible that this still ended being my wife's favorite cold cut sandwich period. I can't say anything about service or ambiance since I've never seen this mythical truck, but the sandwich is fantastic. So quick thoughts... Nickos Favorite - Really well balanced sandwich that's tastes really fresh for a deli meat sandwich. My wife says it reminds her of a Caprese in sandwich form, and the combination of pesto, ricotta, mayo and balsamic combine perfectly. The meat is much less salty than I would expect of deli meats in general and it works with the other ingredients. Both of us loved the bread. Thin, crispy, works really well here. The pistachio shavings were also a great touch. Now the prices may not look cheap, but they actually give you a lot of sandwich. The picture i took here is only half of the order since my wife destroyed the other half while making happy noises. We're actively looking for excuses to begin the area now so i can try new things and she can keep eating this one. Definitely worth a try if you haven't already.

    This review is easy! This was THE BEST Italian sub I have ever had!!!!! How does so much deliciousness come out of a tiny food truck? And the kindest guys ever working inside!!!!

    Big Philly Roll
    Clarence James V.

    I always passed by this spot! I finally decided to check it out when I was craving for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The Philly role was their version. It was awesome, had a lot of meat, and special sauce that they gave me on the side just enhanced its flavor. Only quip was that I wish it wasn't so expensive. But then again, what isn't these days? I can't wait to come back and check out the other sandwiches!

    Philly Roll
    Lisa T.

    Wow! This place is legit and deserves the almost perfect star rating. Nickos Sandwiches is a food truck located in a liquor store parking lot. I'm not sure if you can park where the liquor store is but we parked on the street! We decided to share a Philly roll and Nicko's favorite. We decided on one sandwich off the cold and one off the hot sandwiches section. We received the Philly first and it was terrific! I wanted to gobble the whole thing. I love the bread, meats, veggies, and cheese in this sandwich. It was great but didn't feel heavy like other Philly sandwiches. The meat they used was ribeye and the cheese melted well with it. Next, I took a couple of bites of the Nicko, it felt more on the lighter side and refreshing after the Philly! There was a lot going on but I like it. The bread wasn't thick and the ratio of ingredients was the right amount. This sandwich was big! I also love that they wrap the sandwich in two so it was perfect to share. Note: I would call and put in your order because we were quoted 20-30 minutes wait but it was only around 10-15 minutes. Overall, if you're craving a good sandwich come check this place out.

    Nickos Favorite(no olives)
    Samuel S.

    Ok, so the last 3 times I have been here to Nickos have been fairly disappointing. I ordered a chopped(now off the menu) and the roll that it was made on was toasted so much that it tasted stale. When I went back again thinking it was a fluke I got The Philly and specifically asked for the roll not to be toasted because of my previous experience. When I got my order he told me here's you Philly lightly toasted.... I was just confused and again disappointed but I took my sandwich. Nicko wasn't there for those 2 time and had been every other time, but Nicko treated so well and was so nice I decided to try one more time today. Nicko was there today, and I tried to say something about this, but it was busy and it just felt brushed off. I figured I'd get the Nickos Special since it has always been good. When I got home and opened the sandwich and it just seemed so sloppy, the arugula falling out everywhere way too many olives, and it seemed like it was a slice or 2 short on mortadella. I could have sworn that they used to use stracciatella instead even though mozzarella and ricotta were on the menu which was amazing(maybe I just got lucky a few times in the beginning). Maybe it's just bad luck but I'm going to have a hard time coming back. Fresh ingredients and good flavors though.

    Philly Roll 5 Star Sandwich.

    Amazing Amazing Amazon Oh My Goodness How Amazing Is This Place, We Just Left, As Stuffed As Can Be And Am Contemplating Turning Back For More. The Philly OMG, The Turkey OMG, The Everything On The Menu OMG. Everything Is So Tasty, So Fresh, And Far And Above Any Of Your Everyday Sandwich Options. I Have Been Here About A Dozen Or So Times, And It Fails To Disappoint. 5 Stars, Every Time. Customer Service, Pricing And Quality All Top Notch. Going To End This Review With One Word. AMAZING.

    Turkey Pesto
    Atineh N.

    Hands down THE best sandwiches ever!! I had guests over last night and told them I was going to order from Nickos (through door dash) ahead of time and let me tell you, they were in awe when they took the first bite lol they loved it!! I've had it before a couple of months ago and loved it from the get go!! My fav is the Turkey Pesto (no cheese) and my hubbies is the Mortadella. I have a picture from my left over from last night that I have taken a few bites of, because they all grubbed so fast, we didn't get a chance to take any decent photos lol If you haven't tried their sandwiches, you should give it a go, you won't be disappointed, I'm telling you, they are fire!!! And customer service is on point and the staff is so nice!! Thank you guys for the amazing sandwiches :)

    The ideal sandwich
    Danielle R.

    Wow! What a perfectly portioned explosion of flavor! I'm not a huge sandwich girly, but I could not pass up this beauty. Nikos was recently at an event I went to and it has surpassed any sandwich expectation I ever had. I chose Nikos favorite and the combo of flavors was absolute perfection. I think I had a half sandwich which honestly was the ideal amount to fill you up and not get that afternoon crash. The bread was next level and every ingredient tasted fresh and crisp! Drooling just thinking about it

    Perfectly set up for catering!
    Scott S.

    I'm a big fan, obviously, but they went above and beyond when I ordered a bunch of sandwiches for my friends. They suggested a perfect mix of styles and cut them in quarter to display them catering style. These guys are absolutely amazing and truly pros.

The parking lot is small but serviceable because customers don't tend to remain in the store for long, so turnover is fairly regular.

I have also tried the Lorri sandwich, which uses an eggplant cutlet to imitate meat. The balsamic flavor is pretty heavy on that one, since the tomatoes really soak up the sweetness.
