"This Italian deli offers what is likely the most iconic sandwich in all of Los Angeles: the Godmother. Bay Cities’ signature sub is filled prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, Genoa salami, and provolone cheese, all contained in a crusty Italian-style filone roll. Its other sandwiches meet the needs of those who don’t want the archetypal experience, with various cold cuts and hot protein options. A sleeper hit on the menu is the chicken parm sandwich, the tomato sauce soaking into the excellent house-baked roll. The market side of the shop is as impressively composed as the deli." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
