Possibly the best deli on the Central Coast. Certainly a contender. Everything's good, especially the Mario Bros.

The vibe here is really cute. Lots of people come with their dogs and dine outside. You order on a little paper and food is ready in a few minutes. I had one of the breakfast ones. It's a very hearty breakfast sandwich with generous egg and cheese. I usually don't eat the top bun. My favorite part is the chipotle mayo. It's a delicious and fling sandwich. read more

Lives up to the hype! Places like this is why I love using YELP. We were visiting and jonesing for a sandwhich. Absolutely do the Dutch crunch bread on your sandwich. We loved it so much we came back the next day for another sandwich. Sat outside to eat and watch all the cars doing the California "rolling stop" at the intersection lol. If you want a more scenic view head down the street to ocean blvd and sit on a bench and watch the waves. read more

Located on the corner of Shell Beach Rd. and Esparto Ave. 5 space parking lot on the side and also street parking. This deli shop is small, but does have a couple of tables inside and some outside. You place your order by filling out a paper at the counter with your order selection & your name. I knew ahead of time what I wanted because I searched their menu. I had their 'Ever Roast Chicken' which is made on a Dutch Crunch Roll with slices on chicken, mayo, dijon, tomato, onion, lettuce, and bacon. They were out off bacon during my visit, bummer, so I had no choice but to try the sandwich without it. The bread was fresh, soft and an excellent choice for this sandwich. It was the perfect size and simply delicious. I was obsessed with it, I can only imagine if it had the bacon in it! Service was great, very welcoming, fast and efficient. I visited during lunch rush hour, yet I waited little time. Overall, I had a great experience here and definitely recommend. read more

This place is blowing my mind.. I'm still on the first half of my sandwich (traditional ham and cheese) and I felt compelled to leave a review as I'm chewing..

If I could give them 0 stars, I would not. 5 stars. Got a Mario and breakfast sandwich. The bread on the sandwiches is good. The service is great and helpful. The shop is clean and kept up. My next visits to the central coast will Ja e to include a stop at Sando's Deli. read more

The sandwiches were amazing - we especially loved the Oahu. Plus, they also offer completely custom sandwiches for picky eaters. This is a great option to grab and go to a nearby winery. read more

Small sandwich shop that had a variety of premade sandwiches or a "make your own" option. I decided to get the Oahu Delight and I liked the sweet pineapple chunks and creamy avocado slices in the sandwich but the dutch crunch bread was a bit tough. It was very hard on the outside and thin in volume which scratched the inside of my mouth when eaten. The bread is a large part of a sandwich's identity and I think a tough bread ruins the rest of the sandwich despite the fillings being very good. The service took about 5 minutes to get my sandwich and I ordered through filling out a form. read more

Awesome sandwiches my wife and I even traded the other half of our sandwiches a 10 out of 10 and the prices are reasonable we plan to stop everytime we are here read more

Well I'm gonna dream about my sandwich.... We will come back when we visit again. Get the macaroni salad and Dutch crunch it ifs not sold out. Added to our list of traditions! read more

Stopped by here after a morning hike and so happy I did! Cute little shop with friendly owners! The sandwiches are about on par with any other big chain, price wise, but its quality ingredients and just fresh delicious food! I had the Oahu delight and it was just so good! I also had the macaroni salad and it too was fresh and delicious! A bit peppery but still very good! Overall I loved everything about this place and would highly recommend it! read more

The BEST sandwiches ever! I get the coppa with basil on a Dutch crunch, and it is divine! The owner is soooooo friendly. They are extra delicious, and the perfect size. The potato salad is excellent! Highly recommend! read more

Sando's Deli - Coppa with basil on Dutch crunch - Delis Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

This place is excellent! Sandwiches are always great and the owner seems like a wonderful guy. Really, the sandwiches here are as good or better than High Street with virtually no wait. Parking is easy too. I also like that they seem to purposely not solicit tips. When I tried to get to a screen to add a tip, they just waived me off. This may have been a one off experience but it was appreciated. I've lived here 6 years and only started going a few months ago - it is an unassuming store front with limited hours. Try this place, you won't be sorry. It's located in the heart of Shell Beach with easy access from 101. Seriously, try it! read more

Consistently delicious sandwiches. They are hot sandwiches with just the right combos. There are other places that have the same prices and deliver wayyyy less than this place. The taste is good, the temp is right, and the amount of sandwich is right too! You don't feel like you're getting ripped off like some other sandwich shops in this area especially as you get closer to the pier. read more

Tasty and fresh sandwiches accompanied by great customer service ;) Recommended for to-go as the shop is quaint. We will return!

Tiny storefront, big sandwich. When I say big, I don't mean length-wise. Their sandwiches are all a standard, manageable size. What I mean is that their sandwiches are PACKED. Like you need to unhinge your jaw like a snake to get your mouth around these things (maybe slightly exaggerated). You pretty much walk up to the counter, place your order on a sheet of paper, pay for it, wait 20 minutes, and then feast. There isn't much seating, so these sandwiches are a good idea to get on the go -- just don't plan on trying to eat these beasts in the car unless you intend on vacuuming it out later. My teen ordered the jerk chicken (sweet and slightly spicy), my husband got the MacGyver (big oil and vinegar vibes, super delicious), and I got the Oahu Delight (sensory overload in the best way possible -- creamy avocado, salty bacon, and slightly sweet pineapple create a really interesting dynamic on a sandwich). The bread was fantastic, the ingredients were all fresh. All were devoured with minimal regrets. read more

Awesome Sandwiches! Best around! Highly recommend. Quality is unmatched with the best bread! read more

Ordered sandwiches for a party and they all came out as specified. Ingredients were fresh and everyone was happy.

Food: 5/5 My personal favorite sandwich is the Mario Bros. Massive sandwhiches easy to share, or take to a nearby park or beach. Ambiance: 4/5 It's a tiny spot, but serves it's purpose well Service: 4/5 Only docking it for their current hours, tried to go last Saturday, but they were closed fairly early on the way from SF to SB, tried to go on Monday on our way home, closed Mondays, so sad for us. Haven't had them in about 5 years. read more

Service was great! Got helped right away and our sandwich only took about 7 minutes. There used to be seating inside and outside, but would definitely take our sandwiches to go next time and enjoy them at dinosaur park. Ordered 25 mins before closing and beat the rush. Ordered chimichurri chicken and loved. The bread was great and everything was super fresh and high quality, will come back again read more

Best sandwich ever always a great experience . If you are visiting don't forget about stopping by and walk down to the ocean .

Solid sandwich spot that's been consistently good. Before we lived here, we would stop by for sandwiches to take to the park. I absolutely love their Dutch Crunch bread, and the meat and fillings are always high quality and overall well-portioned. Try a custom sandwich or build your own via the paper order form. read more

Sando's Deli - My favorite Dutch Crunch bread... - Delis Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

Since the Cental Coast's top sandwich place recently closed down (Cafe on Bridge street), I've been looking for new sandwich shops to try out. Sando's is like many other premium places like High Street Deli that have a diverse sandwich menu and where cool bread options (like Dutch Crunch) are available. But with that also comes the premium price. I'll start by saying there's nothing wrong with their sandwiches here at Sando's and you won't be disappointed. You're expectations might need to be tempered tho.. Most of the negative reviews are based on expectations not being met. After all, this place has over 200 five star reviews so you're expecting a lot. The sandwiches are on the smaller side and generally speaking they aren't the most aggressive with flavor. Something marked as spicy is really just the spice that comes from a Chipotle spread for example. Again, nothing wrong here. Price. It just feels like it's a buck or two more expensive than it should be. Sandwiches are kinda similar to Sprouts, and a Jersey Mike's GIANT sandwich is about the same price as Sando's standard sized ones. You're buying here to support a family business and it's a convienient location to trails and the beach. - A great place to grab a sandwich and eat at one of the many picnic tables at the Pismo Preserve. read more

Sando's Deli - French roll turkey with everything - Delis Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

What a delicious sandwich! Got a turkey pesto and it was piled high with turkey and had the perfect amount of pesto. And the Dutch crunch roll might have been the best sandwich bread I ever had! My friend got the same sandwich. She usually eats half a sandwich but this one was too good and she ate it all. The place is tiny but we snagged a table. It was very busy at lunchtime but the sandwiches came out quickly. Highly recommend. It was a great lunch after being out on the water all morning. read more

This place was THE place to be on a weekday at lunch. We were driving through the area and just happened to pick Sando's as our lunch stop - and we weren't disappointed! The sandwiches were great, the staff was friendly, the wait took about 15 minutes (but honestly, we needed the time to stretch our legs), and they had a good variety of chips and bevs to choose from. I got an Italian sub, and it was everything I was hoping for! My co-sando's-eaters were also happy with their choices. Not sure if I'll find myself back in that part of CA again, but I'm thrilled that I did that day! read more

Came here on a busy day with some friends and all of our sandwiches were delicious and brought very quickly!

Stopped on our bike commute from Avila Beach to Pismo North Beach Campground to pick up some sandwiches to-go. They have a wide array of sandwich options. There service was quick. The sandwiches were tasty and filling. The place is small and next to a mini mart. Very clean and tidy inside. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because the prices could've been a little more reasonable. read more

Dutch bread is delicious. Sandwiches great size and can be shared. Roast beef was nice and lean. Our daughter had a ham sandwich she loved the french roll. Overall nice quick easy spot to stop and grab a yummy sandwich. Service was fast and friendly! read more
