Sounds dramatic, but seriously the BEST sandwich I've EVER had. I live 40 minutes away from them but will have no problem driving that again for a sandwich this good! read more

Updating my review. These guys graciously made me a sandwich a couple minutes prior to closing. I bought a pack of lemon cannolis, these are fiyaaa! Very refreshing on a hot day. Take a look at my sandwich pic, now that's how Paulo does it. Everyone loves thick meat. Well worth the price. Will come again. read more

First time for two cold cut Italians and one meatball. Bread to meat ratio on the meatball was unreal it's like a meatloaf but meatball flavors and goodness with just the right about of cheese and marinara sauce ! Two cold cuts same but not warm perfect meat to bread and extremely flavorful! My husband and I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely recommend! 5 stars Don't let the industrial area or the tucked-away spot on Harbor St fool you--this place is a straight-up hidden gem! A lot of folks probably drive right by because it's not in the fancy part of town, but man, once you step inside (or order ahead), you're in for some of the best Italian subs and homemade sausage around. The sausage is made in-house and it's unreal--juicy, perfectly seasoned, with that authentic bold flavor you can't fake. We got the Italian Dip (loaded with their pork/beef sausage blend, onions, garlic, mushrooms) and it was next-level: rich, savory, and the bread soaks up every bit of that au jus goodness without falling apart. The cold Italian sub was stacked high with premium meats, fresh veggies, and just the right balance--total classic done right. Service was super friendly and welcoming, like family running the spot. The ambiance is no-frills (think casual counter, quick grab-and-go or eat nearby), but that's part of the charm--it's all about the food, not the flash. If you're craving real-deal Italian sandwiches and homemade sausage without the crowds or hype, make the detour. This small family-owned spot is worth it every time. We'll be back for more!

2 reviews in a month let alone less than 2 weeks apart that's how you know I can't make this up ! They're that good ! I Told the wife I'd be back in soon . This time I got the Italian cold cut and the dip . Also a few of the sausages . She always has a nice welcoming vibe to her and they were playing classics inside . Cute clean per usual . But the sandwiches !!!! Did I say last time they make the bread fresh every day ! The Italian cold cut was so fresh . Meat thinly sliced and stacked to perfection. Literally you don't need to add nothing to their sandwiches what's so ever ! And every bite it's like biting into a cloud ! The bread is so soft , perfect amount of cheese like . So big it lasted me till the next day ! They are my favorite Italian deli as of right now !!! Actually I don't think I've ever been to one like this at all ! Also tried the dip . It's smaller than the cold cut but sooo rich in flavor like robust! Meat was tender . The sauce was perfect not salty at all . The sausages we used for breakfast and everyone loved them ! Honorable mention : whatever they do to the arugula is lowkey but high key what sets it off with the freshness of everything ... but the dressing on that arugula = yummy !!! Come come come if you haven't yet come and if you have before, come and try them again because I can't see them failing in my eyes !!! read more

I discovered this spot through a viral video on Instagram. When we arrived, two of their most popular sandwiches (which were featured in the viral video) had been sold out, so we were unable to try them. That just means another opportunity to visit later! The shop itself is small, but mighty. They have a limited menu of cold or hot sandwiches as well as cannolis, fresh sausage, red sauce, and small marketplace-like items to purchase to go. My boyfriend and I shared the Italian smash Sando. I think what impressed me most was that not only was it made with their fresh sausage, but it is also made with their own focaccia bread. All the ingredients just felt so fresh and flavorful. The sandwiches are on the higher end, but it easily serves two people making it such a great deal. We also bought two cannolis to try. The original was definitely my favorite! The employees there were also very friendly and helpful when it came to deciding which sandwich to order. Overall, this was a great experience! read more

The food is great but has too much salt . French dip sauce is normally salty- but this one is really! Salty! If you have hypertension- maybe not a good idea. read more

Holy SH*T and excuse the language but I feel like I discovered GOLD! Gold sandwiches that's for damn certain! First time checking this place out after ordering a lasagna for Easter. Thought I'd give a couple of sandwiches a try and so happy I did! The Hazy Cowboy is just bursting with flavor that made me eat the whole half in about 10 minutes. The Italian Cold Cut is so huge I couldn't fit it in my mouth and that's crazy because I have a big mouth! LOL! They were both so delicious and I'm looking forward to the next visit. The service was fast and very friendly. I was also given instructions on how to heat up the lasagna I took to go. Can't wait to try that tomorrow too! Hidden spot in Pittsburg that definitely is a GEM worth trying! read more

Normally I see prices at sandwich shops and get annoyed. Not bad price on first look (comparatively nowadays), and definitely no question about worth of sandwich when I got it; if anything, was a deal. Huge, fresh, unique and amazing to the last bite. I was audibly "mmm"ing the whole meal. Employee (maybe owner) suggested the hazy cowboy and it did not disappoint. Any Italian place should always offer cannoli's in my opinion and they do, and pretty good. I would honestly travel back to this city for this place. Curious to try the sausage to grill up at home. read more

Paulo Sausage - Hazy Cowboy Smash - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I don't go to very mini sandwich places but I saw the pictures of the sandwich online and it looked really good. When I first walked in I was greeted with a smile from the lady at the front. She was warm and welcoming and asked what I wanted. I gave her my order of Italian sandwich with focaccia. Then she asked if I wanted a cannoli and then they had some pesto pasta. I'm a big fan of pesto so I gave that a shot. The sandwich is wonderful. It's one of the best things I've had in a long time sandwich wise. The ratio of meat to bread is what Italian sandwiches are all about. The ingredients tasted fresh and the homemade focaccia bread okay is super soft and flavorful. I would order the bread alone if that was all I was craving. The bread is out of this world. The pesto salad. I have no idea what's in it besides pesto tomatoes, the pasta and some sort of nut but it all hits differently. I usually just get pesto salad from Safeway or something like that, but this place alone changed my perspective of the pesto salad. The banana cream canola is not too hard. Has a nice crunch to it. The banana cream itself isn't too sweet. It is a delight to eat. You don't feel sick from too much sugar after eating it. You can eat a few of these and be okay but I think about one or two of these is good enough. I'm going to come back here again and try out their smash sandwich. I'm sure it's as good as the normal sandwiches, but since that was already so good I need to try the other items on the menu also. read more

We first tried Paulo Sausage at The Beer Aisle in Oakley. We ordered the Italian dip as a plate with no bread, and it was absolutely amazing. The flavors were bold, the sausage was perfect. We appreciated how accommodating they were with this odd request. Today we ordered sandwiches, and they were incredible. The bread was fresh, the meat was packed with flavor. The large parking area makes it easy to stop by, and the shaded outdoor seating is a perfect touch. Plus, the staff is always welcoming and happy to accommodate special requests. Whether you're a sandwich lover or just appreciate great food and service, Paulo Sausage is a must-visit. read more

Lives up to the hype!! I had the Hazy Cowboy Smash Sandwich. Possibly the best sandwich I've ever had. The bread which I believe was focaccia was so damn great. Everything in the sandwich worked perfectly together. My son had the Italian Cold Cut Sandwich. I tired a bite of it, and it was really really good. The bread once again was amazing. All topping very fresh. We didn't customize anything on either sandwich. Probably would add some condiments like a garlic aioli or something just to give it a little something extra. The sandwiches are a bit expensive, but they're also much larger than pretty much anywhere I've been. Also with the fresh & delicious ingredients it's definitely worth it. A lot of people could probably be content with half a sandwich. We took a couple pounds of sausages to go. Haven't tried them yet, it they look amazing in the display. Also ordered a few Biscoff cannoli. They were amazing, but I forgot to take a pic. Ate them too quick lol. The service was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Place is clean, and there's limited indoor seating and two tables out front. Can't wait to go back !! read more

I had to come and try this week's special after seeing it online...RUN do not walk before it's not on the menu. This was so amazing! I'm upset I agreed to split the sandwich with someone. The meat is so flavorful and juicy, the pesto mixes well with the garlic aioli, and the crispy onion bits gives a best crunch. I'm sad this is just a special because it's definitely my favorite sandwich I've tried from them and I would hate to see it go. read more

Paulo Sausage - Sausage!! - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, California

We picked up a bunch of different sausages after seeing videos regarding them on Tiktok. They service was friendly. The store front was very clean. They didn't have all the flavors available and 1 cannoli left. The flavor was very good. Our oldest kiddo really liked the blueberry sausage which surprised us. That's a good breakfast sausage. We thought the sausage had great taste just a little mealy. We will absolutely go back. read more

If I could give Paulo Sausage a million stars, I would! We've been completely obsessed since the first time we stumbled across their booth at the Brentwood Farmers Market about a year and a half ago. Their sausages are next level, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we recently tried their beef Bolognese sauce and lasagna. OH. MY. GOD. I absolutely would if I could have that lasagna every night for dinner. Everything they make is packed with flavor and a lot of heart. They are the sweetest, most personable family, which shows in every bite. We genuinely love supporting them. They pour so much love and care into their food, and it makes all the difference. We used to make the trek all the way out to Lockford for good sausage--not anymore! Paulo Sausage has completely stolen our hearts (and our taste buds). Our personal favorite is the honey habanero sausage--but fair warning, it's not for the faint of heart. It's spicy, sweet, and downright addictive. We can't wait to try everything on their menu. Trust me: once you taste Paulo Sausage, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. read more

Paulo Sausage - Italian sandwich. Just one. Feeds two - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, California

The proof is in the stars! Paulo's is the real deal Italian sandwich, sausage, and dessert destination! What they are making in this kitchen is heaven sent! Flavor, value, quality and service...all top tier! They're known for homemade sausages, but don't sleep on their sandwiches. Today I went to their shop and tried a fan fav, ham + burrata cold sandwich on fresh baked focaccia! It is literally chefs kiss They pack on the ham and flavor! It's picture perfect too! For dessert they got it covered too! The tiramisu and cannoli are delicious! I've tried each cannoli flavor except for lemon, it must be a good one because they're always sold out. You can place a pick up order online using the link to their website. read more

Tired this sausage for the first time this last week. It was a good sausage! I got the garlic/wine and mild Italian. Both were tasty. I loved the big garlic chunks. The lady working the counter was friendly and informative. The only thing not giving this 5 stars was the fact that the sausages were a bit too salty for my taste. I would love to see them try a Linguica! I will be back. read more

Just tried their italian Dip sandwich after a couple of guys at work suggested it and it's good; the pork and beef sausage with mushrooms and cheese make for a very filling lunch. The only suggestions would be more mushrooms and more cheese to make it a bit more moist. All in all, would go back a second time to try the Italian Cold Cut which looks like a beast! read more

Amazing sandwiches and very friendly employees, one of my favorite sandwhich spots in town.

Paulo Sausage is a great new addition to Pittsburg! With plenty of parking, we easily made our way into the store with no wait (it was a Friday 30 minutes before closing.) They have 2 large tables outside and 1 large table inside for dining. They offer an amazing variety of crafted sandwiches, and I can't wait to try more, but we decided on the Meatball Sub. It was $15.50 with 3 of their homemade meatballs on a soft roll. The sandwich was delicious. It wasn't too saucy or messy, had amazing flavor, and we were able to split between two people. For dessert, we couldn't pass up the cannolis. They had sold out of the flavor of the day but were now offering the Original cannolis. I don't remember how much they were, but they now hold the title of my favorite local cannoli! The shells are imported from Italy, and the filling is made in house. Try one and I promise you'll be obsessed!! The owner was so sweet and gave us a complimentary piece of their focaccia pizza. The focaccia was incredible -- so soft, airy, & bouncy. It has amazing flavor. We loved it and had tried it cold! (She offered to warm it, but we declined.) So it HAS to be extra good when warm. Speaking of the owner, we received amazing service from her. Incredibly sweet and hospitable. Very proud of her product, as she should be! Everything was amazing and we can't wait to come back! read more

What a great place to have this in town. I'm so glad I saw this on instagram. Pittsburg needs more business like this. We ordered the Italian Dip and it was amazing. It was very well seasoned and the dip took it to a whole new level. The meats were seasoned nicely and the bread was crunchy and mixed well with the dip. The lady that helped us was really nice and since it was our first time here, she took the time to explain their menu. The inside was a little small but since it was nice outside, we sat in our tail gate and enjoyed the food and the beautiful day. I highly recommend this place. read more

Don't forget the Cannoli! We finally got a chance to try a couple of sandwiches at Paulo Sausage. Co. We had the special which was a sausage and peppers sandwich (we picked sundried tomato mozzarella sausage) and a meatball sandwich. Both were packed with meat and quality ingredients. The sauce in the meatball sub was delicious! The bread tastes fresh and doesn't fall apart. They have bottled sodas, which is pretty cool. We went home with a pound of Chicken Curry sausage, half a leftover sausage sandwich and a 5 pack of traditional cannoli. Service was quick. We were helped by one of owners and she was super friendly and helpful. The space has a table inside and a couple of tables outside. It's clean and welcoming. We will probably be back next week! Give them a try! Support a local family business!! We need more places like this. read more

Came in to try their fresh sausages and was immediately impressed. The staff at the counter were incredibly helpful and pleasant, making the experience even better. I picked up a pound of their Spicy Italian and a pound of their Mild Italian to smoke at home--and wow, they turned out amazing! The flavor is exceptional, and the heat level in the Spicy Italian was absolutely perfect--just enough kick without overpowering the rich, savory taste of the meat. Honestly, this might be my new favorite spot for sausage. I'll definitely be back to explore more flavors and try their fresh meatballs! read more

Got a chance to go into the store today and grab some fresh sausages. I also got to try a limited breakfast sandwich with their blueberry sausage! It absolutely lived up to my expectations. Hands down they win. Support your local family owned small business and get here asap! read more

So far I've had the meatball sandwich, hazy cowboy, Italian smash and Italian cold cut (pricey but DANG it's thicker than those shirtless dudes you try avoid, but still mosh against in the pit so you can definitely share that specific one). The meatball sub was hearty and reminiscent of thee Italian life where the patrons would need a shovel, duck tape and gloves before you could enjoy this old country sammich. Me personally, I like mine smothered in sauce so next time I'll ask for a side of sauce. The hazy cowboy was savory, nice zest, sweet and creamy. Again... DANG! Ate it... GONE go bye bye. Italian smash, zesty creamy, FRESH and jammed full of veg with that Italian sausage flavor. The Italian cold cut was a HIGH END (Ferrari or Lambo) version of the traditional cold cut, but the flavor ran through the whole sandwich with no flavor drop or flavor fatigue... and ... and... That beast stayed phat the whole way through. Seriously... it's a FATTY. Definitely eventually going to exhaust them menu. SIDE NOTE: This place is NOT your average sandwich shoppe. These are GINORMOUS, adventurous rollercoaster of culinary flavor. I cannot pick a favorite, but I am partial to Italian smash. It's my kind of jam. Don't trust this review? That's fine. Go there during a lunch rush. Let the line speak for itself. P.S. No... no I don't not have any pictures because I had no time. Can't talk, chewing. read more
