About Little Lucca

Welcome to Little Lucca, a hidden gem nestled in the charming Burlingame Shopping Plaza, California! This beloved sandwich shop is renowned for its hearty gourmet sandwiches that offer generous portions, ensuring that every bite is as satisfying as it is delicious. With a vibrant atmosphere, Little Lucca is ideal for both a quick lunch takeaway and a cozy meal with friends or family.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread and hearty fillings. The menu boasts an impressive array of hot and cold sandwiches, with customer favorites like the Lucca Dog Sandwich Special and the savory Roasted Turkey Cranberry Sandwich. Each creation is crafted to perfection, bursting with flavor that delights the taste buds. The Southwest Sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread is a local standout, praised for its bold flavors and sizeable portions—perfect for sharing or indulging in a filling solo meal.

The atmosphere at Little Lucca is inviting, though you might find yourself joining a line of eager patrons—typically between 15 to 30 minutes during peak hours! The good news? The friendly staff works efficiently to get you your sandwich fix promptly. A hot tip from fellow sandwich lovers is to call ahead to avoid the wait, especially if you're on a tight schedule.

There’s something for everyone here. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Ultimate Club Sandwich, the Fire Roast Steak Caesar Sandwich, or the delightful vegetarian Veggie Delight Sandwich Special, every option is a feast for the senses. The sauces, particularly the rich house-made garlic sauce, elevate these sandwiches to the next level—a must-try that keeps patrons coming back for more.

But don't just take our word for it; the clientele rave about Little Lucca’s offerings. Lisa Huang shares that the sandwiches are “really great... definitely shareable”, while Kevin da Luz confidently claims it to be “the best sandwich shop in the Bay Area.” And as Trey Delaplaine noted in his experience, opting for cream cheese on your sandwich is a game changer!

So if you find yourself in Burlingame, whether you’re a local or just passing through, don’t miss the opportunity to treat yourself to the generous and delicious offerings at Little Lucca. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you’ll savor long after the last bite!

Really great sandwiches and for a great price! Two people can definitely share one. I really liked the hot pastrami, though I’d probably skip on the mayo the next time I order, their house garlic sauce is rich and tastes phenomenal. Pro tip is to order for pickup to avoid the long lines.

I ordered the Southwestern Sandwich on Dutch Crunch Bread. It has a lot of flavor and was a very large sandwich. Good value for the money and tasted good. It was a little messy and fell apart a little at the end.

Update 8/15/25: I had a good experience with the doordash this time! We are back on track. BTW I recommend getting cream cheese only your sandwich. The best one for my is the Lucca's Ultimate, but everything specialty sandwich I have tried so far has been excellent. Edit 7/18/25: Little Lucca's is still one of my favorite places, but I am changing my review to 1 star because of a very disappointing experience toda. In my sandwich from this location were two strips of plastic! Or possibly wax paper, but I think it is plastic. I have pictures of the sandwich and the plastic pieces attached. I will still go back as I've always loved Little Lucca's but please maintain the quality you guys are famous for!

Charming little sandwich shop located in the Burlingame Shopping Plaza. They offer a wide variety of hot and cold gourmet sandwiches, with lots of condiments, sauces, and dressings to choose from. The sandwich portions are quite generous, and the staff is fast and efficient. There is usually a line, so the wait time can be 15-30 minutes. Call ahead to order is probably the best way. Large free parking lot.

Only Giving 5 Stars due to the Portion. It's 2 proper meals. Got the BLT+A on Dutch Crunch with a Bag of chips for over $22. Steep! Quality sandwich, it was served cold, the cheese clean extra $1.75.. it's a nice sandwich and extremely filling. However not worth a line or worth going out of your way for. I With the portion size it's a decent value I suppose.

Literally the best sandwich shop in the Bay Area, maybe even the world. I have overheard multiple other customers say “this is the best sandwich I’ve ever had”, and many people I brought here have said the same. Everything is great here. Gets busy at lunch time and by 3:30 they will be running out of sandwich ingredients. Great for take out, but not a lot of tables to sit at. The doughnuts next door are fantastic as well.
