• DoorDash orderThe Godmother (Large) is the single best sandwich in greater Los Angeles, it is the gold standard against which all other deli sandwiches in greater LA should be measured. I also absolutely love the Chicken Parmesan (Large). If you get a chance to go, Bay Cities also has an amazing selection of Italian groceries. I've loved everything I've tried from here. 6/5 highly recommend.

• DoorDash orderI got the Godmother (Small) and it was divine. The bread is amazing. The meats and veggies generous. Got it quickly through DoorDash, and every bite was so good that I almost cried. I will order from here again often!

• DoorDash orderThis is my first time ordering from here! I've eaten here plenty as we use them to cater for certain events but there is hardly ANY turkey meat on this sandwich! Only two slices of turkey and loaded with tomatoes. Very disappointing considering the price. Looks nothing like the pictures, probably won't order from here again.

• DoorDash orderBay Cities has been around for 100 years and for a reason! It is the best Italian Market and Deli in Santa Monica! The hot Pastrami Hot (Large) is to die for. The Godmother (Large) belongs in the hall of fame. The pastas are all legit and they have the absolute best Filone Bread Loaf in the game! Long live the Bay!
