    Ordered the large pastrami sandwich and the Italian to go! Delicious like I remembered it. Decent amount of meat vs veggies vs sauce. Bread was perfectly toasted. A bit pricey but hey everything is expensive these days. Picked up the sandwich on a Wednesday around 11:30 am, no line, quick pay and go.

    Sandwiches are always a hit never a miss here. I usually get the super roast beef sub or the atomic with jalapeños, pastrami, turkey, corned beef, cheese. Pastrami is my family's fav. The bread is a toasted roll light and crispy and served with Italian dressing. I would never get anything smaller than a super! This place is family owned and they are always friendly fast and consistent. They don't need my endorsement. They are legendary. The shop is small but mighty. They used to have a really good split pea soup. I know not everyone's jam it was mine. Sad they don't serve it anymore. I've been coming here since I was in high school!! Do yourself a favor and order a sandwich from Sub Center. I'm telling you as a friend. You will be taking a bite into your future. Outlook is good!!!

    I was craving a pastrami and found this place was within biking distance so I went out and ordered ahead on doordash for pick up. It was ready by the time I got there. The pastrami sandwich was good and juicy though it's not a traditional pastrami I had in mind, I'd still come back for this. But is a sandwich really $17 these days?

    this is by far one of the best sandwich spots in the bay. when we received our order, it was rlly warm which i love. freshly made out of the oven! the bread was pretty soft today but I would mention last time we came, our bread was very hard. but it's okay because today changed my whole perspective about the sandwiches. all the ingredients were really yummy. service was great! it's a nice little to-go spot that's rlly convenient and tasty!

    Bookmarked this spot since forever, and finally got to take it off the list. A gem for takeout sandwiches! The menu's huge, with three sandwich sizes to choose from, and the subs are generously filled. I got the veggie with avocado, cheese, and cucumber--fresh, flavorful, and made even better with their tasty secret sauce. My husband had the meatball and loved it. The bread is soft and fresh, which really pulls it all together.

    Wow, where have you been all my life? I've heard so many great things about this place but never tried. Now I regret all the wasted years and money on other over hyped places. Hubby ordered the hot pastrami- super and I got the avocado, Turkey and Swiss mini and it was perfection! Normally other spots give you so little meat and too much bread. Not this place. It's in reverse and yay! We ordered through Door Dash pickup so fast service. Clean area. Not too many spots to eat in so I recommend ordering takeout and find a nice sunny spot to inhale the sandwich with chips preferably and a side of potato salad. Then wash it down with an ice cold Diet Coke! Potato salad was good too. Perfect amount of dill. My new/old fav sandwich spot!

    Turkey, provolone and Avocado

    Best sub of my life! Only regret I have is not going here sooner. The subs here are perfectly toasted and 10/10 ratio of ingredients. Do your stomach a favor a get lunch here today :)

    I ordered the Cheese Steak, which came out to about $20. A little overpriced in my opinion, but overall it was a decent sandwich -- everything was layered well and the flavors were nicely balanced. The staff was nice and the sandwich came out within a timely manner, which I appreciated. There's no indoor or outdoor seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. I've also heard the hot pastrami is the real standout here, so maybe I just ordered the wrong sub.

    Subcenter has the best sandwiches in SF. I've been coming here since I was a kid and still visit almost every month. I usually get pastrami or turkey, but today I got both in one sandwich with added avocado. The bread is crunchy, the meat is flavorful, and they make the sandwiches quickly despite always being busy.

    Amazing NY style pizza right in SF! Huge slices for 5.25 per slice regardless of what flavor you…read moreget. They heat up the slice for you on the spot. Flavors changes on a daily basis. There's one dine in table. Love the asparagus flavor pizza, they drizzle pesto on top. Julian was also delicious. I prefer the white base pizzas.

    Ordered delivery from the Hayes St. location last night and the pizza arrived looking like it had…read morebeen carried sideways the entire trip. The entire pizza had shifted in the box, slices were folded over, grease was splattered all over the lid, and it was no longer hot by the time it arrived. What made this even more frustrating was the amount paid for delivery. In addition to the food cost, I paid a $3.99 delivery fee, a $5.70 service fee, and tipped the driver $5.50. For that kind of added cost, I think it's reasonable to expect the pizza to arrive level, intact, and hot. The restaurant is about 4 miles from my house, and it appeared the delivery was made by bicycle, which may explain why the pizza ended up tilted and damaged during transport. I can't say that for certain, but something clearly went wrong between the restaurant and my door. The pizza itself may have been good fresh out of the oven, but the delivery experience completely ruined it.
