The Godmother — Santa Monica's legendary Italian sub that has been LA's sandwich benchmark for over fifty years
Bay Cities has been making The Godmother since 1925: a sub loaded with salami, mortadella, coppa, ham, provolone, and their signature 'the works' spread of pickles, pepperoncini, olives, and mustard on a fresh-baked roll. It is one of LA's most argued-about sandwiches and consistently wins. The deli counter sells excellent imported Italian goods — fresh pasta, cheeses, cured meats — and the focaccia baked in-house is worth picking up even without a sub. Pre-ordering online saves significant time.
