Constanso’s

I went to this sandwich shop for the very first time about a month ago. Ordered my sandwich, handed them my credit card. I was told «sorry we don’t take credit». I didn’t have any cash. So they told me «no problem, pay us next time you come in!!! What! Really. I have been there no less then 10 times. Great sandwiches too.

Win! Great sandwiches at a bargain basement price. No seating and parking can be a bitch. Not even sure if this place is licensed by the Health Department, but it’s just sandwiches, so who cares? They load up a roll with lots of meat and veggies. I’m not a small guy but a sandwich from here is hard to finish. You can’t go wrong with a premade, or a custom made — although the line for made-​to-​order can be a bit long. Bunch of characters running the place are always good for a laugh. I try to get here once per week.

I been going to this sandwich in my neighboorhood since the late 80’s! I love the mom & pop feel to it and for 4 – 5 bucks you get a huge sandwich. They are old fasion and don’t believe in the media hype. People will come if you make sandwiches with LOVE and that’s what EXACTL what they do! Love the Father and brothers… they always make me laugh and pick jokes since I told them the italian stalker story haha LOVE THEM!
PS this neighborhood is not sketchy or run down… it’s the city not a farm lol Great places are always in a sketchy part of town grow a pair and try them out. You won’t be disappointed!

the best sandwiches in san Francisco period. family owned since 1958. joe is the godfather of the business. when he was young he looked like al pacino in the godfather. their sons Robert and mark are the best and their oldest son paul who works for the post office also drops by from time to time. this place is a treasure so enjoy it while its still here. love you joe.

Quick, fresh, unbelievable value despite no seating. It’s a convenience store.
Skip the line and take away a standard premade, which are also fresh.

what sandwich shows more love on meat proportions than this place? NO WHERE! Constanso’s, I love you. *heart eyes emoji*

If you don’t mind sketchy neighborhoods, this place is a favorite and close to the office! Really cheap and you get your moneys worth. The sandwiches here are exceptionally good! Roast beef for $ 3.75 on wheat. I buy two or three at a time — they go a long way! The owner has been here for over 58 years and their service is good. They have premade sandwiches for $ 3, chips, drinks, donuts in the a.m. and salads (potato, macaroni) available as well. Different meats on the menu — can’t go wrong!

Easily the best bang for the buck. 2 sandwiches and a drink for under 10 bucks. When I am in the area I usually get the pastrami and the turkey and an arizona mucho mango. Eat one sandwich for now and save the second for later. Sandwiches are premade with mayo lettuce meat and bread of different varieties. If you want other condiments on your sandwich they will add it on at an add on price. Sandwiches are tasty.

Wow… this place is legit! I was recommended here by a guy that works at a crane company here in SF located near Constanso’s. This is a REAL deli with REAL big sandwiches like Grandpa used to make… HUGE. They open at 5 AM so I love stopping in here early for sandwiches before: work, a long road trip, fishing trip or picnic. The guys running the joint are sweet and adorable and of course Grandpa makes the sandwiches while his Son and Grandson heckle folks waiting in line which contributes to the whole experience… fun, friendly, local and delicious! I will keep eating here until the end of me or them. Hopefully that doesn’t happen anytime soon.

3.75 for a roast beef sandwich? full size? hell yes. F the 5 dollar foot long I’d rather support a local ma and pa shop. guys here are friendly and the sandwiches are freshly made. no shortage of readily available junk food too.
highly recommend

This sandwish shop on 3^rd street in Bayview has been open since 1958. For that alone, I confer five stars. For it’s very reasonably prices sandwiches ($ 3.50-$ 3.75), I’d give it another star. Because Constanso’s is an old world gem integrated into one of the more unglamorous SF districts, five stars. I’d stick 5 star stickers onto the woman who’s been working Constanso’s since 1958, and still mans the till.
A family owned business, you’d be hard pressed to find a better pastrami sandwich in all of the bay area. They have the normal standards: roast beef, turkey, etcetera. All wrapped and ready to go, which is their modus. If you want mayo or mustard, they add it to the sandwich at the point of sale, so that the bread won’t be soggy from soaking up mayo. I love that consideration.
In addition to sandwiches, sodas, beer, chips, and other quick to go filling station type items are available. Giants hats, 49er’s hats, as well. I wish I could go not and get a turkey sandwich. It was a real pleasure engaging the family in lighthearted banter there!

This a back to the future sandwich shop. Family run Pop and sons. Simple, plain, basic — delicious sandwiches. Brings me back to the 60s and 70s. Before all the fancy great sandwich shops, there were these kinds… the kind you were playing at the playground, wanted a sandwich, bag of chips and a drink. The taste brought me back to the good ol’ days. Roast Beef, Salami, Turkey… excellent. I recommend

You will love coming to this place it is such a mom and pop shop But don’t forget the sons! They are the highlight of the place! They make waiting for your sandwich fun. They give you that Italian realness That you can’t find in North Beach!!!

For a fresh and cheap sandwich, this is the place. For $ 5.60 I got a roast beef with swiss cheese on a soft roll with the works and a bag of chips. You just can’t beat the price. And the sandwich was yummy.

It’s no Ike’s But if you want a great sandwich for a great price then this is the place. I haven’t had a sandwich like this since my old deli closed back in 2003. It’s something about putting love I to a sandwich which makes it that much better.

Great sandwiches and friendly service. Price is very cheap. Awesome awesome awesome :) must try

The budget sandwich lunch place. If I could give them more stars, I would. The made to order sandwiches are great and pre-​made ones on the counter are just as good. $ 3.00. Low to no overhead… I guess. The people behind the counter are very friendly. So if you’re in a rush for a lunch, they have the pre-​mades, along with a good selection of sodas and other canned drinks, and chips. Don’t forget to wear your kevlar if you travel southbound on third street.

Been coming here since I was a little kid! Every time me and my siblings had a field trip my dad would always bring us here. I try to do the same when my kids a field trip. Kits something to look forward to aside from the field trip itself. Old man Joe rocks! And you just gotta love the prices! I just wished they stayed open a lil longer passed 3.

Just went here today for the first time on the recommendation of someone from the Bayview Opera House as a «great Italian deli.» I couldn’t believe my ears! An Italian deli in my neighborhood and I never knew of it.
I loved it. Like our own little mini Lucca deli, well, ok, not quite, but really good and super cheap AND really funny crew behind the counter. Pretty sure it’s a dad and two sons. Dad’s been here for 56 years according to one of the sons who claimed to be there for 46 years, followed by adding that he was 46. The sandwiches were made on ciabatta bread by Dad one at a time and were huge. They have choice of breads, mustards (they were out of the «poup» today, but that was ok), cheeses and meats. Very classic and only $ 3.25 for the basic.
Worth it for the entertainment alone, but knowing this pace is right there and was so good will bring me back again and again. Salud Constanso’s!!!

I cherish this place every time I go here… It reminds me of what SF used to be in the mid 80’s to early 90’s… Those were my childhood memories… I hope this place stays open for a very long time!
This is a great place for a sandwich. I always enjoy it. They go for $ 3!
Yes $ 3!!! It depends which sandwich you order. It comes with meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Others go for $ 3.25, $ 3.50… It all depends on what you order.
They can make it for you, or if the line is too long, they have pre-​made ones on the counter.
Experience this place. Give your business to places that are actually worth it! Like this one.
