"I love picking up a Poor Boy sandwich here before spending the afternoon rolling around in the grass at Golden Gate Park." - Garrett Schlichte
"A San Francisco institution, Falleti's has everything you need, especially if you need fresh focaccia bread. The deli is a great place to grab fixin's for a picnic before heading into Golden Gate Park (don't forget to check out their cheese selection, if you are so inclined). Their old-school butchers will have you gratefully spending your hard earned cash. And, their Poor Boy sandwiches are the best deal in town." - Upperquad
"Taking a walk to get a $5 sandwich at this Lower Haight mainstay is just smart. The “Poor Boy” sandwich, stuffed with rotating meats and cheeses to accommodate the deli’s needs at any moment, goes for just $4.49. In an ever-more-expensive city, Falletti’s top-tier ingredients and low prices are a crucial option for any savvy shopper." - Dianne de Guzman
"Tucked away on the corner of Broderick and Oak in the Lower Haight, I found Falletti Foods to be a bastion of locally sourced produce, curated grocery goods, and a nice wine selection, but its real draw is the deli’s legendary "Poor Boy" sandwich (PBS), sold for $4.49. The PBS has been a staple since the deli opened in 2012 (deli manager Ornella Bouchard recalls it cost $3.99 then), and it was created to reduce food waste by using day-old bread and the butts and scraps of sliced deli meats and cheeses. Because it’s made from leftovers, the ingredients rotate — you can often spot roast beef, seasoned turkey, prosciutto, or even a hidden slice of chicken rollatini, with cheeses like white American, munster, or provolone; breads vary between hoagie rolls, ciabatta, and sometimes Dutch crunch. Each sandwich is wrapped in clear plastic so you can peek before buying, they sit next to prepared sushi and tallboy cans of Diet Coke, and while pickles, onion, or lettuce are available, the PBS’s simple, irregular mix of meat, cheese, mayo, and yellow mustard is the point. Falletti Foods (308 Broderick Street) is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week." - Garrett Schlichte
