Little Carmine’s Italian Sandwiches

After a pandemic pause of more than three years, Little Carmine’s, the fast-casual sandwich shop and little sister to Carmine’s on Penn, reopened in October 2023. The newest iteration of the eatery, which originally opened in 2013, is mostly unchanged, serving sandwich classics like Chicago beef, eggplant or chicken parm, and a Jersey hoagie on […]

Snarf’s

Snarf’s Sub Shop, the beloved sandwich spot with a hippie vibe, got its start when Jim Seidel opened his first sub shack in Boulder in 1996. Then, as now, Snarf’s knew to do a few things really right: It has a good filling-to-bread ratio, uses high-quality meats and vegetables, and relies on a broiler to […]

Sub-Culture

The sandwiches at Sub-Culture bring in a lot of pick-up business on their own merit: Everyone knows that when it comes to sandwiches, it’s the little things that count, and this shop nails them. The bread is the perfect blend of chewy and crusty; the ingredients are fresh, high-quality and plentiful, with plenty of vegetarian […]

So Perfect Eats

Located on pedestrian-friendly Fillmore Street, So Perfect Eats is a shopper’s dream, with a lengthy menu of soups, salads and sandwiches that are just right when you’re in need of a pit stop.

The European Mart

The European Mart proves that good things come in small packages. This tiny store is packed to overflowing with smoked fish and sauerkraut, kasha and Danish cheeses, even Swiss specialties and Hungarian tidbits tracked down by owner Dmitry Gershengorin — and the deli case is full of imported meats, pretty cakes and other baked items. […]

Backcountry Delicatessen

Started in Steamboat in 1999, Backcountry Delicatessen has since set up shop in Jackson, Fort Collins and now LoDo, where the restaurant isn’t so much a pre-hike stop as a workday destination. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, cranking out morning specials and salads and sandwiches galore, broken down into simple categories like “beef” and […]

Jimmy John’s

Jimmy John’s sandwich empire was founded in an Illinois garage by Jimmy John Liautaud, who graduated at the bottom of his high-school class. Clearly he showed them, since the company now boasts more than 1,200 franchises across forty states. The chain advertises “free smells” and “freaky fast delivery” of its sandwiches, constructed from house-baked French […]

Mellow Mushroom Streets at Southglenn

The Atlanta-based pizza chain trumped more than hundred locations nationwide, including one in Tabor Center and another in the Streets at SouthGlenn. The pizza here is Southern-style and stone-baked; the restaurant offers late-night dining, nightly live entertainment and a temperature-controlled covered patio.

Taste of Philly

The original six-seater takeout place on Colorado Boulevard was founded by a guy from Pennsylvania, and even though Taste of Philly is now owned by folks from South Jersey, they still know how to make a real Philadelphia cheesesteak. All in all, it’s a perfect sandwich in every way. As an added bonus, there’s a […]

Las Tortas

Tortas take all the deliciousness of Mexican fare and pile it onto soft rolls. And the tortas at Las Tortas are the most delicious of all. When ordering, newbies will be told that the Norteña, with carne asada, breaded steak and cheese, is the best seller. Like all of the standard torta options here, it […]

Carmine Lonardo’s

This cozy, family-owned Italian market and deli has been around since 1976. The shelves are lined with imported pasta of all shapes and sizes, olive oil, canned goods, frozen foods like housemade sausages, and so much more. Still, the sandwiches – huge, messy masterpieces loaded onto freshly baked rolls, which you can custom-order with that […]
