Deep-dish worth the 45-minute bake. Call ahead, order a half-baked pie for later, and never skip the spinach-mushroom stuffed.

Kinder's Meats, Deli & BBQ — Tri-tip sandwiches and the legendary mild sauce in Pittsburg, CA
#3

The East Bay's default answer to 'where do we get sandwiches?' Order the tri-tip on a roll with mild sauce, add a side of macaroni salad, and understand why the parking lot is full at 11:30am on a Tuesday.

Esin Restaurant & Bar — Chef-owned fine dining and legendary dessert in Danville, CA
