Roma Deli

I was in the San Bruno neighborhood, and decided to finally give this place a spot because I was craving a sandwich. This place did not disappoint, and will be added as part of the Bay Area sandwich rotation..I grabbed the roast beef BLT, and it was so tasty that I didn't even have time to grab a photo. A large size is the equivalent to a Little Lucca sandwich. The dutch crunch was fantastic and I appreciated the option to toast the bread (I did, and it made the sandwich perfect).The staff who took my order was very pleasant and friendly, and was kind in asking about all the sandwich options like toppings and toast. The cashier was especially amicable to all who entered.I appreciate how much seating was available, as well as the options for snacks. I am eager to try the potato and Mac salad next time. It is a very casual spot, and a bit too dark. The parking situation is can be tricky and inconvenient.

Probably the best value sandwich in a 10 mile radius. Quality on par or better than Little Lucca SSF, miles better than Little Lucca Burlingame, and sandwiches are even more massive than either. Great bread and amazing garlic spread. To me, Leonardo's is slightly better quality, but Roma has the value for money. You could literally feed 3 people with a large sandwich.The service is excellent and you rarely need to stand in line. One of the best lunch spots in San Bruno.

Came back to Roma Deli because a colleague had went and inspired me to return again! I ordered a couple of different small sandwiches, got the tuna and the roast beef sandwich. Both were solid on their soft sweet roll and the toast was a nice touch. I got both sandwiches because I wanted two different flavors in a single meal and it was the best of both worlds. I did feel like there was a little bit less roast beef they put into the sandwich was less than the last time though. The prices have gone up slightly since my last review (which is to be expected in 2024) but I think the value is still there. A small sandwich is good for a regular appetite size. With their regular sandwiches starting around $11 and larges up to $16. Going with one of their signature sandwiches is a good way to save some cash instead of building your own. They have street parking and a lot behind the business. Do remember to pay your meters as San Bruno has implemented a new pay for parking system.

Needed a quick sandwich near SFO before a long, rainy drive back to Sonoma County. We found Roma Deli on Yelp. It's only a 10 minute drive away and it did the trick.The name is a bit confusing to me because nothing about this deli seemed particularly Italian. Italian or not, it satisfied our hanger and didn't break the bank, so we left happy.I got a vegetarian sando on toasted sourdough roll (fresh lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, avocado, and provolone). My guest opted for a gyro. Both were large and warm.I'm not in San Bruno often, but if I find myself hungry near SFO again, I'd return.

*Just a heads up, if you select sourdough bread, it is very thin because they don't use sourdough rolls; They use sourdough toast. The Hot Reuben has a good amount of meat and is quite filling. As always, Boar's Head deli meats are wonderful! For bread, I chose Dutch Crunch and both the meat and the bread tasted pretty good. Unlike some other sandwich shops, the bread wasn't dry at all and you can taste the freshness. That's much appreciated! The bread wasn't very thick or extra crunchy compared to Dutch Crunch breads from other deli shops I've tried though. This can be a hit or miss depending on your own preferences. I personally prefer the thick, crunchy ones. But either way, it's still great when it comes to taste!

This sandwich shop stands out for its outstanding sandwiches and top-notch service. After changing hands to a new owner, it continues to thrive, building on the legacy of the retired couple who previously owned it. Expect busy conditions, especially during lunch, and consider calling ahead to avoid delays.

Roma Deli is a pretty good spot for sandwiches in San Bruno. I like the food options in this part of San Bruno although definitely dissapointed that you have to pay for parking when it is not even a prime location :( I stopped by Roma and it is definitely on the older side, but the people working there are pretty friendly and there is seating inside although this is more of a grab and go kind of spot. They also sell snacks on the shelves and surprisingly also Sanrio items so if you come with a partner that is obsessed with that then you might end up buying more than just sandwiches. I got the New York Special Sandwich ($14.45 for a Large/$11.95 for a Regular). It comes with salami, coppa, mortadella, provolone, oil & vinegar. I also got it with everything on it although I somehow forget that usually comes with pickles and I dislike pickles on anything. So next time I'd definitely say everything, but pickles! The ingredients they used are super fresh and the salami and coppa are sooo good. I also like their dutch crunch and you can get it toasted which I opoted for although the roof of my mouth hates that decision. I'd say it's a 8/10 sandwich. The meat they don't stack as much as other of the top tier deli's sandwiches, but still was an enjoyable meal. Definitely worth a return.

Roma Deli is in the downtown part of San Bruno.Small family owned deli with nice folks. Order at the counter and they'll prepare the order. I ordered the roast beef club on sourdough. Once received, quickly noticed it is a huge sandwhich.But it was a bit bland since only mayo is put on the sandwhich. I guess next time, can ask for mustard, etc.Compared to Little Lucca's the quality and freshness is there. Price is about the same. But the overall taste goes to Little Lucca's.Street parking only

I'm surprised this place just caught my attention recently while in the area, as I love sandwiches. Especially with coppa, mortadella, and salami. I opted for the large ny sandwich with Dutch crunch. It was huge! Decent price. It was reminiscent of Luca's, with a smear of fresh garlic spread. The sandwich was fresh but definitely will take me a few days to finish. Friendly staff and fast service. The dining area was clean.

Delicious sandwiches stuffed full of quality Boar's Head meats! Their breads come toasted and the Dutch crunch is lovely. Got the Turkey supreme with everything, which was super filling so I was able to eat half and save half for dinner. Service was quick. No wait on Tuesday at lunchtime. Will be back to try other items off the menu
