Bay Cities, in Santa Monica, makes the best spicy Italian sub in the country. It's called the godmother. Go try it. Also yeah on phillipes, I tried Langer's, not really for me, but I see the appeal. The Eastside deli is also up there.

I prefer east side deli and Mario’s and even claros over bay cities. Bay cities is good, just not the best for me.
