A thread of great sandwiches in Greater Los Angeles that cost less than $10. Fuck a $15 sandwich.
The #8 Charbroiled Pork Sandwich at Bahn Mi My Tho in Alhambra, $4.75!
The best sandwich in LA County at any price. I usually get a side of meatballs.

The Godmother at Bay Cities in Santa Monica, get a small with the works for $7.50 because the large is damn big.
The Sandwich at Roma Market in Pasadena. They only sell the one Italian sandwich for $5.50 and it's perfect
The groceries are fantastic too, the owner will gladly recommend his favorite staples if he's around.

Phillipe's French Dips are an LA icon. Get the beef for $9.25
Also, it's a low-key great place for breakfast frequented by construction workers.
I'm a fan of the rival dip at Cole's, but no restaurant with a "speakeasy" is making this list.

Grinders at Connal's in Pasadena are fantastic. I like the turkey breast for $5.39
Larchmont Village Wine's $9 Soppressata Salami sando comes with cornichons & black olives and will give you the true experience of being a writer's room PA on some comedy your parents will never remember.
Go to Mario's Italian Deli & Market in Glendale for the S.O.B. (Sopressata, Oven Roasted Chicken, and Balsamic Vinegar), $8.95. Lots of great Italian groceries & drinks. Once got this insane squid ink pasta that looked like a wig
There tends to be a big ass line on the weekends

Eggslut's breakfast sandwiches ($8.25) used to be one of the first places I would take friends visiting from overseas. Not worth the big lines, but still damn good.
Had no idea how much they've expanded. Locations in all around LA and Vegas, Tokyo and Seoul now, which makes sense

Highland Park institution Galco's recently brought back their Blockbuster sandwich at $6.99 for the 8" and it's great! Really, the reason to go there is for the delightful owner John Nesse and his top tier selection of sodas.
El Cochinito has THE BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had, $10!
The Cochinito sando with maduros inside for $1 more is a damn treat .Without a doubt my favorite restaurant in LA, it reminds me of Miami.

Eastside Italian Deli tucked away in Chinatown has all the sub classics for around $9.29. "a masterpiece in hot italian subs" - @TheTrueHman
Closes by 4pm on weekdays and fully closed on weekends :(

Pastrami sammies usually aren't that cheap, but Pasadena doesn't fuck around when it comes to sandwiches.
The Hat and Lucky Boy both sell great pastramis for almost $10 and both places feel like they haven't been renovated since 1982.

GIAMELA'S! All the cold sandwiches at the Atwater location are $10-11. I <3 the Turkey w/ Pesto Mayo. Squeeze that pepperoncini juice all over it
The Burbank location has a more limited menu and is $1 cheaper. The pastrami is daaaamn good.

Vince's Market in Atwater, $3-5 sandos!
Small little corner store with great soft rolls. Simple and good as hell. Thanks @alexmce!

Kien Giang Bakery in Echo Park specializes in cakes, but their $7 Banh Mi is fantastic. On a shrinking list of affordable places in eat in the area.
Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli is yet another great grocery spot slinging sammies. Definitely an unsung hero in NELA. I get the Italian combo, can't find the price online, but their others are all sub $9. Their baked goods are great too!
Handy Market in Burbank is a new favorite of mine. Just a solid ass selection of American classics. Their $9 tri-tip is only available on Saturdays. Their butchershop is also a nice neighborhood fav.
A couple blocks west on Magnolia is Pinocchio's with classic red sauce fare like meatball subs for $9 and the Monte Carlo Combo for $8, get that garlic bread and come back for the gelato.
Holdaak in Highland Park does Korean style fried chicken sandwiches that are so damn good. The spicy is $7.50. I'm honestly partial to their fried chicken salad, but that's because they put ranch on it and I'm too white to resist.
Lee's Sandwiches is the type of chain I'd love to see all over the city of LA. Their #1 combination sandwich is $3.99 is daaaaamn good. They have locations all over Orange County, but also 3 in the SGV and another in Lake Balboa
My Dung in Chinatown is a great little hole-in-the-wall general store selling Banh Mis for for $3.50
Lanza Brothers is the kinda place you'd love to have down the street from your house of where you work. Classic subs from a convenience store from $5 to $7
Located between Lincoln Park and Chinatown, right by the San Antonio Winery you can see off the freeway.

Huge Tree Pastry's baked sesame bread with beef IS a sandwich, despite not being called one on their menu ($4, Monterey Park).
I LOVE Taiwanese breakfast and really the stars on this menu is the beef roll, salty fan tuan, and their homemade soy milk.

Delicias Bakery in Highland Park is clutch! They've got a great VEGAN milanesa torta and the pan dulces you want. I really like the pre-made grab and go and sandwiches. Those were really helpful to me while editing from home in HLP.
Santoro's in Burbank has very solid $9-10 subs. Honestly, I only bring this one up because Jamie Kennedy did some pranks in blackface here for the Jamie Kennedy Experiment. No I won't link to it, but oh boy are they weird!
How could I forget Continental Gourmet Sausage Co.! A German deli in Glendale. I forget the exact price, but I think you can get the whole lunch meal with a sandwich, pickle, and a side fro like $7? (don't quote me on that) The German deli and snacks selection is also fantastic!
Peco's Bill BBQ in Glendale, very near Burbank! $5.95 shredded pork and beef sandwiches. So incredibly sloppy, in the best way. Such a great unassuming little hole-in-the-wall. Only open for lunch from 11am - 3pm, Thursday - Sunday.
DeFranko’s Submarines in Van Nuys!
$8.75 for this small Italian Cold Cut. That sesame seed bun is damn good.

Porto's medianoche is superb! and $6.25
Super Tortas is Sun Valley is outstanding! I haven’t had as many Tortas I would like, but this is now my favorite. The milanesa is especially great! $7.99
Kagura’s katsu sando is verrrry good and $9.50 Looks like they are only available at the Gardena and Torrance locations. The Gardena location is attached to the Don Quixote Japanese market and is a must visit.
The sausage sandwich (choripan) from New Buenos Aires in Burbank is a new favorite! $9.90! It’s basically just Argentinian sausage & chimichurri on a baguette and it’s delightful. They do so much great Argentinian food. Also pictured: empanada & alfajores (dulce de leche cookies)
SUB KING in Burbank, $9.99 for this Spring Turkey. Turkey, apple slices, pecans, garlic mayo, and toasted. Damn good.
