    I recently went back to Sandy's to give their egg salad and pimento cheese a try, and long story short, I'm a fan of both. While I didn't get selected for tickets to the PGA Masters Golf Tournament, that's not going to stop me from making pimento cheese sandwiches at home. Sandy's sells this in a cup, pint, and I believe a quart size. I got a cup ($9) of their pimento cheese, and paired it with milk bread at home, and it was so tasty. Great texture, slightly spicy, really solid pimento cheese. A cup was enough to make 3-4 sandwiches at home. Great staple to have for a quick lunch at home. Egg salad, I got the pint ($16), this was really solid too, although I added some additional salt and pepper to taste. The pint is great for family, easily can make 5-6 sandwiches with the amount of a pint. Honestly a cup order would've been good for me. Egg salad is one of those things I don't want to make myself, so thankfully Sandy's sells theirs lol If you are looking for an affordable way to make tasty sandwiches at home, and like egg salad and pimento cheese like me, definitely worth checking out to satisfy the craving. They have them packaged up for take home, so was able to get in and out in less than a couple minutes.

    Yes it is salty. Could it be the olives? I got the mushroom muffaletta 1/8 and a small cup of pickle egg salad. Total $26. Yes, it is pricey. No lines, so it was quick. Toasting it was a great idea making the sandwich really crunchy. That bread is wonderful. The egg salad was good. Thinking of adding more eggs to it since there's too much mayo. My first muffaletta was in Miami at a Cuban deli. It was multi layer. This is one layer. This place was cute. Several small tables and stools near the window.

    I went to Sandy's Muffulettas and didn't order a muffuletta. Blasphemous I know, but I was feeling sensitive about my recent carb intake and thought that much bread might put me in a coma. I've had the classic muffuletta at Central Grocery in N'awlins (Review: https://yelp.to/zRUJ6ScOgV) and remember how thick the crusty bread was to hold the layers of meat, cheese, and marinated olive salad. From the menu, it appeared like the muffuletta here kept the same spirit and added Duke's mayo to boot. I was tempted but set my sights instead on the $13 Pickled Egg Salad Sandy since I'm a sucker for egg salad. This was a particularly spiky version with garlic, celery, and chives, and it was quite tasty between two slices of sourdough deli bread. It was topped with a pile of Zapps potato chips which provided a nice added spicy crunch (Photo 6). I liked it a lot, and I believe it was Sandy himself that made my sandwich. The Roasted Mushroom Muffuletta and Pimento Cheese Sandy appear worthy for a return visit. FOOD - 4 stars...egg salad with attitude and crunch ANBIANCE - 4 stars...compact but enough room for me SERVICE - 4.5 stars...Sandy focuses on customer satisfaction TOTAL - 4 stars...more than the muffuletta here RELATED - Exploring the Haight?

    Classic muffuletta

    Snagged a too good to go bag from Sandy's on a Saturday afternoon, drop came around 3pm with a pick up at 4pm. The surprise bag came with 1/8th of the roasted mushroom muffuletta and 1/8th of a classic muffuletta. Food: Roasted Mushroom Muffuletta - nice fluffy Italian bread that was focaccia like in texture - filled with slices of provolone, an olive spread and lots of diced roasted mushrooms, great combination of flavors and textures, very savory with a nice tang from the olive spread Classic Muffuletta - same great bread filled with thin slices of charcutier, as well as the provolone cheese and olive salad, really well balanced, the salty meat with the melty cream cheese and the savory briny olive salad. Service was great, we arrived a little early for pick up but they had it ready to go which was amazing, owner was on site and super warm and friendly and gave great directions to heat the sandwich slices at 350F wrapped for 10 minutes which is how you should eat it if you grab it to go for the best crisp on the outside soft melty inside. Overall really loved the muffulettas from Sandy's, a great spot for casual lunch and a different sandwich offering. A particularly good deal if you catch it on too good to go. Definitely worth a try if you are in the Haight or looking for a great sandwich.

    I never had a muffuletta before this one so I don't have a reference point, but I thought this one was delicious! One slice (1/8) was quite filling for me--a bit heavy but delicious. We added on a side of the pickled egg salad, and the lady pointed out that we could make it a combo for the same price and get a bag of chips for free. So we also got a side of voodoo chips to munch on :D The egg salad was a bit sour/strong, so it may not be for everyone, but my friends and I quite liked it! It's a pretty small shop, and all the tables were taken (Sunday ~1 pm), but one became available while we were waiting for our food

    Muffuletta - Italian Bread, Mortadella, Prosciutto, Salame, Provolone, Spicy Olive Spread, Duke's Mayo

    At my old job, one of the things that my coworker and I would regularly get for lunch were muffuletta sandwiches from one of our go-to spots. For me, it was always just a tasty meal. For him, it was a (loose) reminder of where he used to live - New Orleans. However, while he thought it was pretty solid as well, he'd always tell me how it was nowhere near as good as the ones he used to get. At the very least, it wasn't a "New Orleans muffuletta". So, you can imagine how tickled my curiosity was when he texted me to let me know that he finally found one here at Sandy's! Inside, the restaurant is pretty modest, with just a handful of tables and a few counter seats available. However, almost as soon as I walked in, my tastebuds got so excited. Not only did it smell great inside, but my eyes immediately gravitated towards the muffulettas that they had laid out behind the display window. With just one look, I could already see the differences in what I was used to having - from the round Italian sesame bread (they cut it like a pizza) to the thick layer of olive spread they use. As for the non-muffuletta part of the menu, it's not very extensive, offering just a few other sandwiches, including a daily special, a muffuletta salad, and a handful of sides, but it also makes sense since most folks come here for one of their two signature muffulettas. -- MUFFULETTA - Italian Bread, Mortadella, Prosciutto, Salame, Provolone, Spicy Olive Spread, Duke's Mayo...$14.50 (1/8th Slice) This initially looked a bit small, but it was decently big once I unwrapped it. The salame, prosciutto, and provolone worked really well together, but the bread and the spread set this apart from the ones I've had before. In particular, the latter had a touch of heat and almost an overwhelming taste of olives to it. -- PICKLED EGG SALAD SANDY - Sourdough Deli Bread, Garlic, Celery and Chives, Stuffed, Topped with Zapp's Potato Chips...$14 I was just as excited to try this one and, thankfully, it didn't disappoint. While the bread did feel a bit dry, it wasn't terrible by any means. More importantly, though, the egg salad itself was delicious with a slight tartness and the Zapp's chips added a nice crunch (and they give you the rest of the bag!). Now, as a few of my fellow Yelpers have mentioned, Sandy's prices for their sandwiches is a bit higher than what some of the other sandwich shops in this part of SF charge, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're overpriced. Given how this place is more unique than your average sandwich shop, along with the fact that they seemingly have one of the most, if not the most, authentic muffulettas you'll find in SF, it's not like you're paying for the exact same thing you'll find everywhere else. So, in that sense, even though I'd still prefer some of my regular spots, I certainly wouldn't have a problem coming back to splurge on something so different! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now...thanks for the heads-up, bud!

    Classic Muffuletta 1/8 - 1 slice
    Ying Z.

    Once in a while I crave a muffuletta and, of course, Sandy's is just the place to go. I really enjoyed the combo meal with the 1/4 muffuletta, 8oz herby slaw, and a bag of chips. Wonderful lunch! Bit on the heavier side but that's what you sign up for. The herby slaw was delicious, fresh, and has a balanced sweetness. They have parsley, chives, and dill mixed in there with a mustard dressing, and I found it to be superb with the sandwich. Staff were nice, and you order at the counter and bus your own table.

    A very solid and unique sandwhich. Quality meats and nice cheese. The olive mixture is what really packs the flavor punch here and makes the sandwich unique. It's salty and rich which really flavors the whole sandwhich. If anything, it leans salty but it wasn't too much given the bread. The bread was very crisp, bordering too much as some bites scratched the roof of my mouth.

    Roasted Mushroom Muffuletta 1/8
    Melanie M.

    Stopped by here on a whim on a Sunday afternoon. The guy at the register was super nice and chatty, and the team got us our sandwhiches quick (they are made ahead of time, good for muffulettas to let all the juices soak in). We were lucky and got a seat inside from the few available. The sandwhiches were umami, zesty, and buttery! My partner's and my favorite was the roasted mushroom muffuletta. However, for 1/8 a slice they are pretty pricey for how little they are filled. In addition, none of the team was wearing gloves when handling ready to eat items, which is a food safety hazard.

    Cookie time!!

    I love their COOKIE! The muffuletta was good but I can't compare it to the real deal in NOLA. But I've come back for that freaking cookie!!!

    Pickled Egg Salad Sandy
    Duha S.

    Seems like they run out of the muffelatas pretty quick- both options were out when we arrived at about 3pm. There a couple of tables inside for seating and they offer eat in or take out (pay before eating) The sandwich was well filled and the service was quite fast. Within 5 minutes of ordering we received our sandwhich. It was the pickeled egg sandwich which I expected to have a funky pickled egg taste but it was really just an egg salad sandwich. Decent sandwich- not sure if it's worth the 16$ after tip.

    I FINALLY made it here! I've been hearing about it for over a year from clients. Everyone raves about ALL their sandwiches. Being a former vegetarian, I'm the weirdo that goes to a muffuletta place and orders the pickled egg salad sando, but Delicious!!! Super fresh egg salad made with eggs that they actually pickle first and Duke's mayo. Topped with Zapps potato chips! I will be back because i need to try everything on their menu. And don't forget to order the warm chocolate chip cookie, yum!

    Mamalea M.

    Wow, this place is incredible. We had the meat muffuletta,pimento cheese sandy, slaw, egg salad, and a cookie. The pimento cheese sandy was like nothing I've ever had- unique and delicious. The muffuletta was amazing. Every bite had every ingredient. Staff was quick and helpful. Small place so beware- it gets packed. Thanks for this experience Sandy's !

    Now that's a satisfying Muffuletta slice with herby slaw and chips combo! (Oct 2024)

But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing.

Back then, there were sliced cucumbers in the sandwich. I finally returned again recently and tried the Giants sandwich (turkey, cheddar, thick cut bacon, avocado) and Goodfellas (salami, mild coppa, prosciutto, provolone, pesto sauce). The Goodfellas was a bit too salty with the meats + pesto sauce. I think more lettuce/tomatoes/red onions and slightly less meats would've helped balance it out better. I had requested extra red onions, but it looked like the same amount as the other sandwich we got with no extra onions. Also was not a big fan of their pesto. We both preferred the Giants, which was relatively more balanced, but it was still not a very exciting sandwich. The primary flavor was salt, with only a few bites of sourness from the pickles, yet it also gave the overall impression of blandness. The house garlicky mayo didn't have any noticeable garlicky-ness. I also couldn't taste any of the brown mustard or house vinaigrette. The Dutch crunch bread was quite dry and both thin and dense. It looked so good in the pics since it's so stacked with colorful ingredients, but it did not pull through in terms of flavor. Halfway through I was just eating it to fill my belly with sustenance rather than enjoying it (though I didn't hate it either). Prices still seem pretty reasonable for the portion size; that would probably be the main draw for me if I ever return again. Maybe I will give the November sandwich one more shot next time.
