This somehow used to taste better when I was in high school, but it's still really solid, especially seeing as how the bay area seriously lacks delis. Delis are awesome!

This is the **only** place to get a godfather, a sandwich so filled with meats and cheeses, even artichoke hearts. It's the best. Just get the default, don't change anything. You won't be hungry until dinner.
