#5 no dressing add Mayo on Dutch crunch
Kelly S.

By far hands down my favorite sandwich spot I'm from South Bay and I regularly crave these! But once a blue moon get a chance to grab one I order the: - Turkey with Bacon on Dutch Crunch: good protein, pickled yellow peppers, tomatoes/lettuce, chewy & crunchy bread! Soo good 5/5 stars Lots of parking in the back parking lot of street parking infront of the store. Good amount of seating, chips, & drinks! Oh and also, sooo many sandwich combos

#14 Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato w/Avocado on a ciabatta
Larry M.

Ordered online this time, made the process much easier, and got lucky, the one handicapped parking spot was open!! Ordered a BLTA on ciabatta roll, and a High Maintenance salad. The sandwich was a little light on bacon , and the shredded lettuce didn't work well for me. The salad was fantastic, tons of stuff (I added artichokes), I was able to make two salads out of the box.

A very popular deli with affordable prices on deli sandwiches! So many tasty sounding sandwiches, ended up trying the Tri Tip sandwich and the Pesto Chicken. Waited a good 35 minutes to order and love that they sell large bags of chips, family size! You can order online before you head over too, might save you a long wait to order. The Tri-tip sandwich is a Steak sandwich with melted cheese, horse radish, on garlic ciabatta (romaine, tomato, peppers, and onions. The pesto chicken sandwich is a Pesto, mayo, lettuce, spinach, tomato, bacon, chicken , cheese, with avocado. Both sandwiches were quite tasty and asked for Dutch Crunch on both. I'll definitely be back to try more of their sandwiches. The parking is horrible, limited street parking and a tiny parking lot. It was quite busy and everyone was hunting for a table after they ordered!

Dutch crunch roll with salami and pepper turkey and everything

This place is such a hidden gem, it's in the cuts of Walnut Creek you wouldn't just stumble upon it. When I remember, which would be after work or in the late afternoon when they are closed or sold out of bread. All that to say...Go early and call ahead. I was smart to go on a Sunday afternoon, it was busy and had a good 15-20 minute wait time but it was worth the wait. The staff was super friendly and had so much patience for people who don't know what they want or had to read all they text messages to get all the orders in. Definitely worth the drive and wait definitely my new favorite. So many aren't worth the wait and overpriced. That pepper turkey is amazing!

I hate that I always forget to take pics...anyways, this is my second time coming here for a sandwich. 1st time it was a bit busy but they did a great job getting your order out ASAP. 2nd time, I decide to order online to beat the line and I got a text when my sandwiches were ready for pick up. You head to the window, give your name and voila...you are ready to go. It's super hard to choose what sandwich to get because they all look so good!!

#6 1/2 Prosciutto (w/ Tomato Mozzarella)
Mia K.

YUMMMM!! Such a good spot for a medium priced sandwich. I got the 6.5 prosciutto caprese sandwich and I could taste every flavor of the ingredients. They have outside seating with umbrellas. This is a great place to go on a summer day or to get sandwiches before going to the beach. The service was fast. It was a busy Sunday and I got my sandwich within 10/15 minutes of ordering. Would recommend!!

Make sure you preorder online since it's a popular sandwich spot. I love that they offer big bag of chips here as well! I got a pesto chicken sandwich and tri-tip! Both are so good. My favorite is the pesto chicken. Must try spot!

I really wanted to love Morucci's given all the hype but it was just ok for me. Not great unfortunately. I did a custom sandwich and I feel like all I could taste was the bread. The line was long and slow which I understood because it was packed. But I don't think it was worth waiting in line for a sandwich that was just okay.

We were expecting a line around noon on a Sunday based on the photo reviews, so we were pleasantly surprised when we visited and were able to order right away. We waited only a couple of minutes before our sandwiches were ready. I ordered the California Club on Dutch crunch, and it was delicious! The sandwich itself isn't huge, but it was still a satisfying portion and left me feeling very full afterward. I highly recommend trying the Dutch crunch. We ate our sandwiches outside and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'll definitely be back to try more options!

Needed to pickup sandwiches for birthday celebration. I was unable to place our order online as their system did not offer all the selections I needed. The deli was not crowded so I was able to order quickly. It took about 20 minutes for my 4 sandwiches and salad. The ingredients were all fresh. The sandwiches were all tasty.

Delicious and affordable deli sandwiches. Seems like a very popular spot with the locals. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Line was out the door and took 30 minutes to put in an order. I recommend getting the dutch crunch for bread! I'll be back for more sandwiches if I'm in Walnut creek! Parking in this location is pretty bad and it took awhile to find street parking. The tables outside rotate pretty quickly so don't hog a table if you don't have any food! People tend to eat quickly and leave so it wasn't too hard to find a table to eat after we got our sandwich.

#00 Oven Roasted Turkey
Anthony W.

Morucci's is one of my favorite sandwich spots in the area. I've ordered plenty of sandwiches from them in the past and even to this day, they still haven't let me down. I think it's always great when you just know you aren't gonna have a bad experience no matter what kind of sandwich you order from this place. I even kept real basic this time too. I ordered Oven Roasted Turkey on Wheat and even though I kept it so simple, there still was tons of flavors everywhere. Im such a sucker for a good sandwich spot. I love how the fixings are always fresh and they never mess up the ratio of spread. Their sandwiches just always have the perfect amount of spread. When I go to In and Out, I always ask for extra spread. There is never enough. Im not trying to have no boo boo dry burgers or sandwiches man. I want ALL the flava. I never have a problem with this Morucci's because their sandwiches are always constructed perfectly. If you have never have them and live in the area, nows the time. Get to it.

Number #18 Pesto/Chicken
Clarize B.

Have been wanting to try this spot for a while especially since it's reasonably priced compared to many other sandwich spots in the area. Came on a weekday at lunch and ordered online for pickup. Ordered the: - Number #18 pesto/chicken on a dutch crunch roll: my sister got this one without tomato or avocado and said it was dry, I think if it had all the toppings it wouldn't have been dry - Number #1 1/2 on a dutch crunch roll: rly enjoyed this one and added chips while eating it for more texture - Number #6 1/2 Prosciutto (w/ Tomato Mozzarella) on a ciabatta Roll: disappointing, was sooo soggy and had such little prosciutto that I thought it was a vegetarian sandwich Good sizes and appreciate they're not huge. Can be realistically eaten as a meal. Good prices but felt like they skimped out on meat.

Did they get rid of taking phone orders???? I really hope not, that's the only way I order from here. Edit: I mean ordering for individual same day asap pickup? Seems like…

They did take away phone orders but they do online ordering instead now! Moruccis.com/order

Open on Sunday?

In early years it wasn't, but I've been there many sundays now. Website shows open 8am- 4pm.

Do they still accept fax orders? I haven't been in a while and haven't been able to find the fax number.

no Fax but Yes for TEXT...

Do you guys offer any hot chili oil or sauce for the sandwiches?

What size are their sandwiches ? Wondering if they are comparable to little luca in south sf ..12" standard size there

No sandwich other than little luca is that big. Quality better at moruccis imo

I work for a school in WC. We'd like to order food from this place to have it delivered on Friday, May 7th at 10:45am. There will be about 30 people who will order. I need to know when is the deadline to submit their order and also the menu?

I would call and let them know you have a big order and get their fax number or email. That's how we would normally order for work

Why does Morucci's charge additional 50 cents to takeout orders?

Extra packaging.... even though EVERYTHING is to go now

Does it offer gluten free bread?

Yes they have Gluten-free bread. 🙂 sandwiches are very tasty fresh

Does their phone not work? This is the second time I've tried calling for over 30 min and goes straight to "Verizon wireless...phone call could not be completed as called party is busy". I did not call during lunch hours so I don't quite understand.

They accept phone orders before 11am.

Can you kindly share me what kind of bread you can select from?

Sourdough, Dutch Crunch, Wheat, Ciabatta, Focaccia and Soft Rolls.

Are they open Christmas Eve?

No

Is there new hrs? We have tried multiple time to come get sandwiches and are closed by 5! Also try to call and no one answers before 5!

The posted hours are 7PM on the weekdays, but I work down the street and they have been locking their doors around 6:30 each night. I even try to call between 5:30-6 to place an order for pick up, and they do not pick up their phone. It's very…

Don't get me wrong, the Genova's in the big (little) Dub Cee does what it can to keep up and turns out some pretty decent sandwiches. It has all the trademark imported knickknacks (biscotti, multicolored taffy in well-worn bins, boxed panettone, etc.) as well as traditional staples like wine, fresh pasta and the famed Genova's brand boxed frozen ravioli for you to take home and spoil your family with in a variety of flavors like artichoke, mushroom and even pumpkin. But it lacks soul. It lacks spirit. It doesn't have any of the flavor that the Genova's in Oakland had and each sandwich churned out is indicative of that. It's just not that good. And for a sandwich you have to wait a mighty long time for, it better be good. Real good. So, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't have a Genova's left to go to and that's okay. Sometimes it's better to have loved and lost (a sandwich) than never to have loved at all.

The ribs were decent--I'd give them a solid B-. I'd order those again (but I wouldn't actually come back). The chicken was surprisingly good too, especially for the price (I'd maybe do the chicken if I was in the area and hungry). The biggest disappointment was the takeout. We actually wanted to eat at the restaurant but the service was a disaster. We awkwardly stood there for about 10 minutes before we could order. And it was until we said we would just leave since you guys obviously can't attend to the three tables in your restaurant. It was very poorly executed and left a lot to be desired. Kinders is a prime example of why I usually avoid chain and brand-name BBQ restaurants. They often rely on the name more than the food, and unfortunately this visit lived up to that stereotype. Ultimately food was below average, over priced service was weak, and the ambiance was vanilla. Save your money it is not worth it

Fortunately, the food inside lives up to the '80's music. This place is a little Eastern-European treasure chest.
