"This quickly proliferating sandwich shop isn’t swaying all the critics. Still, it keeps a long line queued faithfully outside its doors for crisp focaccia sandwiches cut into slabs to enjoy on its small outdoor patio or take to go. La Paradiso is seemingly the sandwich of the moment, packed with delicate folds of mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream, and chopped pistachios. If mortadella blankets don’t move you, the La District sandwich with sharp pecorino cream, sun-dried tomato, and a handful of arugula, might. The expanding chain has also opened in Koreatown and Beverly Hills." - Matthew Kang, Nicole Adlman
