I saw Momofuku noodles, Italian ingredients, artisan cheeses, and Jen's ice cream in the freezer. Even though the items on their shelves were interesting, what they're really known for are their sandwiches. Their spicy Steve is an Italian sandwich on house made focaccia and it's their best seller. The sandwich was well dressed and loaded with flavor. I also got a "steak BLT", a delicious roast beef sandwich on sliced country bread. Olives is not scared of acid , which gives great tangy flavor along with their creamy aiolis. My wife and I enjoyed both of these sandwiches and I'd definitely come back for that spicy Steve

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the recent chopped trend that's been occurring on social for the last year or so. As a vegetarian, I tend to do a lot of my cooking at home as it's ensures I know exactly what's in my food and I don't have to second guess if I'm not at a vegan / vegetarian restaurant. NYC Chop Cheese has came across my fed a few times over the last year, but I hadn't had a chance to go until March of this year. My friends and I were leaving the beach and decided to finally give it a try. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a very personable front house lady named Shawntail who walked us through the menu and kept the vibes just right. She even informed me that she person was plant-based and shared that they're looking to expand the options for those that are interested in plant-based eating. We love inclusivity. I got the beyond chopped cheese... when I say fire, I mean . It was full of flavor as it was but the condiments kicked it up a notch! It even held up next day as I ate the other half for lunch at work.

You order at the counter (either for takeout or to dine in), and they have a nice selection of imported Italian goods like sauces and pantry items, which gives it an authentic feel. I tried their meatball sandwich, and it was honestly delicious--super flavorful and clearly made fresh. One of my favorite things is that they also sell take-home pints of their sauce at a really affordable price. I brought one home and cooked with it, and it tasted way better than your typical store-bought jarred sauce. They also offer weekday specials, which is a nice bonus. I've been to both their Long Beach and Seal Beach locations, and both have been consistently good. Overall, it's definitely a thumbs up from me. I'm excited to go back and try more items on their menu!

I'm glad I gave them a try because the pastrami did not let me down. If you're going during lunch hour, I highly recommend just calling in your order versus having to wait in line and then have them make it. There was a few places to sit inside. Parking was decent. They have their own little area to park, which was nice.., nice selection of beverages to choose from and a variety of other things to buy. They had a sign that said no public restrooms but honestly if it wasn't for that and they had restrooms for customers, I would probably give this place five stars but because of the restroom situation I had to bring it down to four considering I'm always looking for a place with a clean restroom since I work out in the field.

These sandwiches are absolutely stacked. In fact, mine lasted 3+ meals. I ordered the turkey sammie, which came layered with the most delicious cheese, thin slices of turkey, tomato, lettuce, on a fresh hoagie. Their interior is the cutest Italian grocer, stocked with any product you might need to transport you straight to Italy. Angelo's truly thought of all the small touches and I can't recommend this local biz enough.

I tried the Torpedo sandwich, and while it was good, I realized I personally prefer hot sandwiches over cold ones so for me, the food was just okay this time. That said, I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying other items on the menu. The ambience is pretty quiet since most people seem to grab their food to go rather than dine in. It's more of a quick stop spot than a place to hang out. Overall, a solid place to check out if you're in the 2nd Street area, especially with the great service.
