Pino's Sandwiches

Pino’s blows by several recent sandwich concepts in LA by bringing an Old World mentality of do one thing, do it well, charge a healthy amount for it, and give the customer more than they paid for. The menu is 11 classic options, 3 vegetarian options, and a dessert. So, if you go to Pino’s for something other than sandwiches made on schacciata (an airy delicious Tuscan flatbread) you will likely be disappointed. But if you were visiting say because your friend came back from the Florence location, and you were near enough to visit the only USA location you are in luck. The menu and the sandwiches themselves are large enough to satisfy in a theoretically endless amount of trips. An option for pesto, garlic sauce, or hot sauce on each sandwich effectively doubles the menu size. As for the sandwiches themselves? It is a master class in the Italian style of sandwich making that for some reason so many ignore. Schiaccata is one of the most perfect breads for sandwiches. A perfectly snappy but not jagged crust, sweet soft yeasty crumb, structural integrity, and clean on the fingers. The generous portion of mortadella was properly composed of paper thin layers, and the tangy pesto or garlic along with chunks of vegetables that make for delicate but complex bites that seem to be whole meals unto themselves. They are $18 each but you get a lot of sandwich, essentially two for light eaters. A cooler of Italian sodas Molecolas and a basket of potato chips are all you need to complement this experience, which is perfect because that’s all there is. The manager was nice and generous. This place already feels like the best neighborhood sandwich shop in Los Feliz.

If you want a real authentic Italian sandwich that tastes exactly like the ones in Italy then this is the place to go. I ordered the XO with extra sauce and both of the sauce options and it was absolutely delicious. It’s perfect if you are very hungry, but if you are not that hungry, you can always order one to share. I will definitely come back to service the food quality, the freshness and authenticity of southern Italy and Sicily was spot on.

This spot truly knows what they’re doing. The sandwiches are packed with flavor, carrying that authentic Florentine touch you can taste in every bite. The bread is light yet hearty, and the fresh, carefully chosen ingredients make each combination stand out. I tried the Groto, and the mix of meats, veggies, and Mediterranean flavors was outstanding. Nothing bland here every bite was seasoned just right, balanced, and full of life. The drink, an Organic Blood Orange Galvanina, was the perfect pairing — super refreshing and crisp, cutting through the richness of the sandwich beautifully. The place itself is simple yet welcoming, with a fresh ingredient bar on display that builds trust right away. Definitely feels like a little slice of Florence in Los Angeles. Highly recommended if you’re looking for more than just an ordinary sandwich.

Honestly I expected so much more. I got there due to Instagram adds, the ingredients looks good and basically everything is good but it doesn’t look like I saw it on Instagram. Sandwiches are big and you could share it.

If you’re in Los Angeles and craving a sandwich that truly hits the spot, Pino’s Sandwiches is the place to go! This isn’t just another sandwich shop — it’s the authentic taste of Florence, Italy, brought straight from the legendary Pino’s there. The bread is always fresh, the ingredients are top-quality, and every sandwich is crafted with the same passion and tradition you’d find in Florence. Perfectly balanced flavors, generous portions, and nothing feels rushed or ordinary. The staff is warm, welcoming, and treat you like family — just like in Italy. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, catering for the office, or want a spot to enjoy a truly authentic meal, Pino’s nails it every time. A hidden gem with roots in Florence, now in LA. Definitely one of my new go-to spots for sandwiches!

Fantastic restaurant. They really went all in on Italian from the beverages to the chips to the freaking delicious sandwiches. My boyfriend and I went here after we went to the Griffith Observatory (just a couple blocks walk from the DASH bush stop) and not only is it on a super cute downtown type stretch, (which is very hard to find in LA) but the bread was delicious, the sandwich was delicious and the vibes were delightful. Plus the owner was super nice— highly recommend and very affordable. One of a kind spot!

I went into Piño’s on Vermont today and dammmmm it is BANGINNNNN!!!! Italian fresh cut sandwiches on traditional Schiacciata bread in Los Feliz!!!! The guys that helped us were so friendly and helpful!!! All smiles!!!! This is def going to be my new sandwich spot!!!! Thanks to the team at Piño’s today!!!!

I’ve been to the one in Florence multiple times and when I heard Pino would be opening up a spot in Los Angeles. I was very excited. I went to their grand opening today and the line was very long. However, they had great crowd control and offered cold water bottles to the line. The service was just as amazing as it is in Florence. Pino was there. He was so happy to see everyone, and everyone was sharing their stories about their experience in Florence. The sandwiches are just as amazing as it is in Florence. I can’t wait to come back more to try the other sandwiches. I got the Springtime and it did not disappoint. Congrats Pino and family!

We were so impressed with the lightness and quality of the ingredients. All 4 of us commented on how light yet filling these sandwiches are. We had the Springtime, the Tuscan and Gonzo. All extremely tasty!

Pinot's Sandwiches on Vermont Avenue was incredible, especially if you appreciate fresh, high-quality ingredients. Since I'm currently expecting and can't have deli meats, I ordered the vegetarian Caprese sandwich. Everything about it was very fresh -- the bread, the mozzarella, and especially the pesto, which you can tell is really good quality. I truly enjoyed it, but it was a bit bland for my taste and needed more of a salty element. Because of that, I probably wouldn't order the Caprese again, but that's more due to my current pregnancy limitations than the sandwich itself. My husband ordered the Springtime sandwich with prosciutto and swapped the pesto for the garlic sauce, and wow -- it was incredible. The garlic sauce paired perfectly with the prosciutto, and I actually preferred that combo over pesto, which might have been overpowering. One very important thing to note: the sandwiches are HUGE. The Springtime sandwich was around $18, but each half comes out to about $9, and honestly, one sandwich could easily feed two people. They're very filling, generously portioned, and totally worth the price. We also grabbed chips on the side and highly recommend them. The paprika chips were incredible -- if you're ordering sandwiches here, get the paprika chips. They're that good. Overall, I really appreciated how fresh everything tasted, the portion sizes, and the quality of the ingredients. I'll absolutely be back to try more of their deli sandwiches -- especially the prosciutto -- once I can. Definitely recommend.

Came to try their sandwiches with my husband and son last Saturday. Found them on social media few weeks back and we love Italian sandwiches so we had to try. The best part let's say was the bread. Crispy and a bit salty it was delicious. But overall sandwiches not worth the hype. We ordered the XO and the Tuscan. Both tasted ok, nothing I will go back for. I might try other sandwiches in the future just to give it another try if I'm in the area. When we walked in we were the only customers , cashier greeted us and walked away , we took the menus to see what they have. Let's just say Customer service was whatever, ,,,,,finding parking was very hard ... so I'm not sure of this location. Maybe for locals is great. They can just walk there. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. We took ours to go since we were going on a picnic nearby.

We were greeted upon entering, and the service was top-notch. We visited on a weekday morning, right after they opened, before the lunch rush. We were lucky enough that they offered, without us asking, to let us try any meat and cheese. We ended up trying the mortadella and porchetta; my wife liked the porchetta best. I wanted to order one of their bestsellers. They even let us try the different spreads. They dipped a piece of their focaccia bread in the garlic and pesto spreads so we could decide which one we liked best. My wife liked the garlic spread best, but we both liked them. They offered to let us have a little of each. I ordered the XO ($18.00), which comes with mortadella, stracciatella cheese, fresh tomatoes, and a choice of pesto or garlic sauce. They warmed up the focaccia for us and brought the sandwich to our table, which was nice, and they even cut it in half for us, without us asking, which was a nice touch. It was pretty good, but it didn't wow me, to be honest. The service was phenomenal. I've had better Italian sandwiches in LA. I wouldn't be in a rush to return, but I would be open to trying something different next time.

We arrived on. a Saturday evening, street parking would be a nightmare but thankfully they do have parking in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is bright and clean. They have a lot of different Italian drinks. We ordered a Brasco, a Ghiotto and a Lady D. The sandwiches came out after a short wait. Unfortunately the eggplant, as well as other items inside the sandwich were ice cold. The other two sandwiches were more heated. We have been to pino's in Florence and these sandwiches didn't come close to the ones in Italy. The bread didn't have crispy crust. The overall flavor was lacking. We were really looking forward to trying this establishment, maybe our expectations were too high. Either way it was a disappointment.

Sunday evening. A group of us decided on Italian food for dinner after a walking around town. The first place had a few too many reservations to take care of. We shrugged and decided to go somewhere comparatively less restricting. One of my friends found this place, so we walked over a few blocks towards Vermont. Around 6:30pm, we were the only patrons here, though in time others started coming to dine in or pick up their orders. A clean, light-yellow interior with a tall ceiling, the sandwich shop played a unique mix of Italian songs, like Matia Bazar's "Ti Sento", decorated with potted plants perched high on the walls as well as Christmas ribboned pines and framed photos, including those of the Pino and his family back in Florence. I ordered a Ghiotto and Yummy to share, having it cut into fours. Others in my group got The Best, Ganzo, and XO. My order took about 25 minutes to complete. The two guys behind the counter worked quietly. The Ghiotto was a savory, meaty delight with the toasty crunch of the schiacciata bread contrasted nicely with the flavors from the sundried tomatoes, smoked cheese, and onions. Next, I tried a piece of the XO and it was one refreshing bite after the other with the stracciatella cheese and fresh tomatoes. The Ganzo was the most savory one of all, though the prosciutto was slightly difficult to chew. My friend who ordered The Best managed to eat the whole thing. What a champ! Lastly, the Yummy was a super simple Nutella sandwich, though it somehow hit the spot. Overall, we were pretty impressed with this place and would definitely consider stopping by the neighborhood for more.

I truly don't understand the hype for this spot based off the two sandwiches I tried. I found the turkey option to be a bit bland and lacking flavor, and felt the same for the vegetarian option as well. Service was fine, nothing overly warm. Ambiance is very minimal with more of an order and leave vibe. All in all, this was just ok for me.

Sized and built for two, each sandwich is quite a packed meal in general, no matter what variety you choose. An extension of Pino's in Firenze, Italy. The menu is slightly trimmed from their home base, but all the key items are available here at this location. The ingredients used are genuine, and the sandwich construction is as close to Italy as you can get. The variety available is amazing. You really need to try several from their menu to really gauge things. Many of the sandwiches are pork, but who doesn't like Salami, Prosciutto Parma, and Mortadella. There is also one sandwich that even has truffles if that is your thing. All ingredients are made to maintain old traditions and deliver old-world tastes. Los Feliz has somewhat limited street parking. Pino's offers parking just behind their building, accessible by an alleyway just south of their storefront. Just take a second look between the buildings. The service is friendly and very engaging. Ask for a sample to taste if you are unsure while deciding. They are very accommodating. Indoor dining is available along with a small patio. Pricing is a tad high, but each sandwich can easily feed two.

I had been wanting to try Pino's for a while, and the day finally came! Their sandwiches always look amazing on social media, so I was excited to finally check them out. Parking was a bit of a challenge -- unless you pay for a public lot, it can still be tough to find a spot -- but we eventually made it. When we walked in, we were greeted right away, and there were a few people in line, which I took as a good sign. I ordered the Lady D, and while I really wanted to love it, the eggplant just didn't taste as fresh as I expected. The rest of the sandwich had potential, but that part threw it off for me. That said, I'm definitely willing to give Pino's another try because so many of their other sandwiches look delicious, and I've heard great things. I'm hopeful the next one will hit the spot!

Felt like I was transported back to Florence! Sandwiches were so fresh and the bread had a delicious crunch. The sandwich is huge so my husband & I definitely could have split one but we wanted to try both the Springtime and Ghiotto. Will be back to try more soon!

Pino's is an authentic Tuscan sandwich shop modelled after the popular Florence (Firenze) sandwiches that have taken the world by storm in the last couple years. This shop, the first opened in the US by the Florentine family, boasts imported Italian ingredients and authentic recipes. I stopped by with a few colleagues on a Friday for lunch and was very impressed. The sandwiches were as incredible as their reputation suggests. I got the "XO" ($18), a mordatella, stracciatella cheese, and fresh tomato concoction with pesto and garlic sauce atop a perfectly crispy, pressed schiacciata bread. The bread was the true star of the show here, but the sandwich really came together perfectly, bringing the contrasting crispness of the bread with the juicy tomatoes, richness of the cheese, and decadent, soft mordatella. My partners ordered the Fiorentino ($19) which I eyed with envy, a rich, savory masterpiece, while the Lady D ($16), a vegetarian special made me second-guess my typically carnivore calling. Truly, some of the best sandwiches we ever had. Service was friendly and the ambiance clean and austere, but this is not the focus here. It's all about the sandwich, and Pino's does not disappoint. High-end Italian sandwich presses, deli slicer, and ovens are on display. The sandwiches are expensive, but as other reviewers point out, they are very large, easily enough for two meals if you are merely peckish, and enough to keep you going all afternoon if you are starving. For the quality provided, the value is there. Los Feliz is lucky to have Pino's join its community. Unique, delectable, and authentic, you can't get better than Pino's. Certainly worth a visit. Spettacolare! Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5

First time and I wasn't disappointed. I got a recommendation from my brother. He said he'd eat here every day if he could. That focaccia bread will definitely keep me coming back. The DELICATO seems simple but the truffle gives it a flourish. The truffle was yummy and not over powering thankfully. The BRASCO is packed and heavy. The peppers and sundried tomato's were a nice fresh touch.

So good! Literally brought me back to when I was in Europe Service was amazing and everything was fresh!

You guys .. when I tell you these were the best sandwiches of my life. I'm not even exaggerating haha everything was so fresh and good. The cheese, the meat, the bread, the vegetables. Everything was sooooo good. And the service was phenomenal, everybody was super nice and helpful. They even offer to let you try the cheeses or meats so you can find what you like. They also allow you to build your own sandwiches if you don't like anything from the menu. Like I said they're super helpful and kind. They have seating inside too and everything looks very clean. If you're ever in Hollywood, you have to stop by and try this place!

It's a focaccia style bread so that already wins. Wait it's fresh, warm, and toasted? Why not? Wait... there's also a parking lot in back... in LOS FELIZ? Win. These are pretty big sandos, so while the price is up there you do get a good amount. Process is simple you step up to the line place your order, they make it, put it through panini press, and you're in flavorville. I've had a couple different sandwiches. So far, the salami one was the best followed by bresola. The Best was good, but didn't stack up compared to the bresola. I would also recommend trying their Italian coke. It reminds me of the best version of RC Cola. The interior does feature a couple of tables and there are a couple more in the patio area up front.

I have a friend who took a trip to Florence last year and came back raving about a sandwich shop. She loved it so much that she brought back two sandwiches, tucked into her suitcase. Ah well, I thought, next time I am in Florence ... right? Wrong! I was astonished to read the announcement that that very Florentine sandwich shop was coming to Los Angeles -- not NY, SF, or Chicago. And, would be in easily accessed Los Feliz. Gioia! We waited until the excitement of the new opening died down and made the pilgrimage this weekend. As usual, the witching hour is 3 pm, i.e., no lines, just a few people in front of us while we watched the crew assemble our gigantic sandwiches, three of them, two savory, one dessert. There are fifteen distinct choices, but, being vegetarians we could only choose from three, plus the Yummy, dessert sandwich. We got the Lady D and the Caprese (see the pictures). The friendly person taking care of us asked if we wanted the pesto or the garlic sauces on our sandwiches. We chose one of each. The wait time was modest, about ten minutes from coming in to walking out the door with a crisp white, red, and yellow bag, our three treasures warm and cozy inside. Once home, we were able to split them up and get a taste of all three. The verdict? One of us thought they were exceptional. One of us thought they were good, but maybe the difference was that the pesto sauce (on our Caprese) was far tastier than the garlic (on our Lady D). One of us pronounced the Yummy great, the other of us just liked it but wasn't wowed. That might be a statement on the attraction of Nutella, not a staple in the USA. The fillings on both savories were very good. The Caprese was better. One area where improvement might be warranted is in the bread, which is a disappointment. I love freshly made Italian bread. This bread tasted dry to me and as if it had been nuked (not likely). It is a form of focaccia and the sandwiches are jumbo paninos, in my estimation. What else led to the 4 stars only? The neighborhood is a bit quirky. I have been on this block when it is quiet and lovely, and other times when it seems littered and populated by challenging residents, to put it diplomatically. This weekend, it was the latter, so I will call that a wash. Also, since we didn't see the "parking in the rear" sign as we drove up, we parked too far away for my comfort walking around here. These are factors that are beyond the control of Pino's. They have made a fine start. Next time, we will park in the rear or just pull up in front to pick up an order placed beforehand, now that we know what we like. I am glad they are here, wish them buon auguri, and plan to return for an update. Ciao for niao.

cute little shop. Got the Brasco and it was delicious. b didn't think it was gonna be big but it was so worth the price.

Usually a great sandwich but I recently ordered the Ghiotto and the caramelized onions were not caramelized. They were white and crunchy and kind of off-putting. It's a small detail that kind of ruined the experience. I've had caramelized onions from here before and they were good. Wish the consistency was a little better. Amendment: looked at the menu and it does say "cooked onions." My bad, Pino's. I've never seen caramelized and cooked onions offered so I got confused. Also learned I don't like cooked onions.

Pino's sandwiches located in Los Feliz is the very first branch outside of Florence, Italy. I visited here only a few days after opening day. There were a few seating area inside and a few more in front of the store. My nephew and I came here during lunch time. As expected, it was busy but thanks to sufficient numbers of staff working that day, service was fast. Bread was continuously made and baked throughout the day. Meats and cheese are sliced only after it was ordered to preserve its freshness. We got: Italia - bresaola, parmigiano cheese, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and pesto. Ganzo - prosciutto, stracciatella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions The sandwiches are huge! It honestly an be shared by two people. We both didn't finish our sandwiches due to its massive size. They were both very good and delicious. I love that the bread was soft the way I like my bread. Ingredients were great quality. I could see myself coming back here very soon. Open daily. Free private parking available in the back of the store. There's restroom available inside the store.

8/28/2025 Pino's Sandwiches opened in LA! As soon as I heard about it, I knew I had to visit! They opened on August 23rd. Haven't been to their Florence location, so nothing to compare, but super excited to try it! Came here on a Monday, the following week after opening. DELICATO Schiacciata bread was crispy, crunchy and full of olive oil flavor. It was freshly made, as it was still warm. Bread has sea salt flakes baked into it, you get that saltiness that hits your tongue when you first bite into it. It was good bread! The brie cheese were thicker and bigger slices. Super Creamy. Ham was slightly salty, but on the sweeter side. Truffle cream was subtle and in the background. There weren't evenly distributed, so you tasted more on one side than the other. The brie cheese, ham and bread was the star. The Delicato was my fave of the three. If you want a more creamier and sweeter tasting sandwich, this one's for you. XO Right off, the schiacciata bread is the star of this sandwich. However, as I bit into the XO, I didn't think there was anything special about this sandwich. The fillings lacked and all you can really taste is the two breads than the fillings inside. It also tasted bland. Yes, you get the pesto, freshly sliced tomatoes, and mortadella. But mainly it seems like the bread is the star and the fillings are the side characters. I would have enjoyed it more as an open sandwich. I honestly would not recommend this sandwich unless you can get more fillings. The mortadella was delicious and there was barely any! For the price, it just ain't worth getting it. MAGIC ZBD I've read on Google reviews that Pino recommended Magic ZBD to a customer, as that was his favorite sandwich. Salty, spicy salami hits you at first bite. Then the crunchy bread. It is a large bread. About 8 inch sandwich. You cant get all the mozzarella, red bell peppers and onions in one bite, so you're missing components of the sandwich as you're biting into it. The bell pepper and onion was slightly sweetened to balance the salty and spicy salami. I felt it needed something vinegary to balance the whole sandwich. Something was amiss. Once again, I think this would be better as an open sandwich. Too much bread and little fillings. It was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. When I received the XO and Delicato, they were both mislabelled. Had to look at the sandwich descriptions again to see which one was which. One more thing, there were options for pesto or garlic sauce for the sandwiches I've ordered, but no one asked me which one I've wanted. They simply took my order. LINES Were not long. About 5-6 people in front of me. Came in after 12:00pm on a Monday. Some people have already ordered and waiting for their order and others sitting and eating. AMBIANCE / SEATS Not fancy, just a straight forward sandwich shop. I think it would have been nice if the shop looked more authentically like their shop in Florence. There were about 5-6 tables and chairs indoors. There are also about 4 small tables and seats outdoors as well. One unisex bathroom in the back, towards the back entrance towards the parking lot. WAIT TIMES I've read on Google reviews that for opening day, people waited 2 hours in line in the sweltering heat! If you saw the pictures, they were lined all the way outside in the streets past Melbourne Ave. I knew how bad those lines were gonna be, so I avoided the weekend like the plague and came here on a Monday at noon. You order at the "Order Here" desk and then you pay at a separate line with the front register. Wait times varied with each person's order. I waited about 30+ minutes from placing my order to receiving my order. Some people had to wait a little bit longer than others. It was still opening week, so I could see that the workers were still adjusting to the order system. They all did their best to keep the pace and knock out all the sandwiches. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good service. Everyone was professional. There was only one person at the front register. There was clear communication between everyone making sandwiches. They also communicate directly and clarify customer's orders as well. They asked me three times on what my sandwich was and if it was to go, which got a bit annoying by the third time, but I'd rather get my order right than wrong. PARKING There is parking in the back of the shop. You can park where the signs say 1739 Public House Parking. Starfish Sushi is right next to it. No towing, as this is their parking lot. Not huge, but not tiny. I did not know about the parking lot, so I parked a block away. The location has no street parking, so try to park at the shop first. There are so many places with tow away signs so be mindful when you park elsewhere. Given my whole experience, I am disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting. No doubt all the components separately were great, but not as a sandwich. Something was amiss. However, I am open to returning to try their other sandwiches.

Wound up in this area and found this sandwich spot, it was delicious the type of sandwich you think about for a week after, loved the Italian sodas and the chips we got pesto flavor which is something I've never found, it was pricey but worth it you can taste the quality! Will definitely return just to have this sandwich again !

We made a fun Sunday trip to the east side for these incredible sandwiches. A nice compact menu with the Pino traditional choices on the left and the LA specials on the right. We chose the XO and the Tuscan (I added lettuce to mine) and both were delicious! The staff was helpful and efficient and answered our questions. Most of the guests seemed to be doing takeaway. There are a tables both inside and a front patio. Would absolutely recommend and can't wait to go back.

Pino's is in the space Eastside Italian Deli used to occupy. There are plenty of tables inside, as well as a few out front. They also have a small parking lot behind the building with adequate parking spaces. I came on a Saturday just past noon. Although there were a steady stream of customers, I didn't have any trouble finding parking or getting a table. The place was clean, and the staff were courteous but not talkative - they seemed to be very focused on their tasks. I had the Springtime, which was very good. Being something of a sandwich enthusiast, I have to compare theirs to the other ones of this style that I've tried. In my opinion, Pino's has better bread than All'Antico Vinaio, but their prosciutto and other ingredients are not as good. Their bread is really crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. I wish Pino's offered arugula or basil leaves instead of lettuce (lettuce doesn't have any flavor). It would also be nice if they also had some sort of spicier sandwich on the menu, maybe with Calabrian chilis. Pino's is a few dollars cheaper than All'Antico though, so both places get the same score from me, 4 out of 5. Both places still aren't as good as Mamie in West Hollywood (probably the best Italian sandwiches in L.A.), but Mamie is much more expensive. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal here, and it was nice not to have to deal with the crazy long lines that I've had to stand in at some of the more popular places. I will definitely be returning.

Simple and delicious! Literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I got the Ganzo while my Girlfriend got the Springtime. Both were amazing!

I am thrilled we finally have a delicious sandwich spot in the Los Feliz/Silver Lake area, and true Italian sandwiches at that! I've been twice, and both were great. The Spring Time was my favorite, with delicious focaccia. The staff was super friendly and THEY HAVE PARKING!!! Definitely check it out.

Excellent place for sandwiches, rivalling the best of them. With its roots going back to Italy and a rich selection of the Italian meats and cheeses, Pino's is earning its spot as the sandwich staple of LA. I went with the Tuscan sandwich that comes with tuscan salami, fontina cheese and sliced tomatoes. I also had a choice of pesto or garlic spread, but went with half and half on both. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. They bake their own fresh bread, that's crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, yet not too much bread, as to not disrupt the flavors of the ingredients inside the sandwich. The salami was very yummy and noticeably better than anything on the shelves of LA supermarkets. The cheese complemented the salami really well and the ripe sliced tomatoes added that freshness and additional juiciness to the sandwich. Both, the garlic and pesto spreads, were outrageously good. Tuscan ended up being an excellent sandwich and a must-try in this establishment. The ambiance here is great and homey, with yellow and inviting decor colors and many tables for dining in, both, on the inside and on the little outside patio. The customer service was top notch- warm, friendly, professional. They made me feel right at home. Will definitely come back to try some more of Pino's delicious eats!

I love a good sandwich and when you add the words "imported meats" you have me sold. I tried the XO and the Springtime, which were both huge and excellent. I found the Springtime a bit too salty for me but the XO was surprisingly refreshing. Service was very friendly and clearly run by people who care about this place.

Pino's Sandwiches is the real deal. Fresh, soft focaccia that's perfectly crisp on the outside, generous layers of high-quality Italian meats, and flavors that actually taste like Italy

Great sandwich! We split the Lady D, which is a vegetarian sandwich stuffed with goodness. So many veggies and an amazing pesto sauce. Service was great and the sandwich was fresh and large. Establishment is run by very friendly faces who checked in regularly to make sure we were all taken care of! Lots of seating to enjoy your lunch with a friend.

This is the best, freshest sammy I've had in LA in years, and we are in the middle of a sandwich revolution here. The bread is a 10/10 (and I wish I'd gotten some to go). The staff is so nice, they allow changes (you can pick from their topping options, which are all delish). Kev came out and told us about all the Italian imports, and he really adds to the vibe. We liked him so much, we came back through and showed him our shopping haul on the way out. I went with "The Best," and added the truffle spread, and I'm still thinking about it today. If it were closer, I'd be in trouble (but also in heaven).

This piece is fairly new and it is amazing. It has the feeling of an Italian sandwich joint. The menus is varied, the sandwich is assembled in front of you. Ah, and if you don't know you can ask for samples.

I discovered schiacciata bread sandwiches in Lucca, Italy earlier this year and the were the best sandwiches I'd ever had. Schiacciata bread is the ideal sandwich bread - slightly crispy, with a light airy structure that absorbs and holds sauces and flavors perfectly. So I've been looking for it in LA since I came back and finally discovered Pino's Sandwiches. Heaven! The schiacciata bread is amazing, the ingredients fresh and delicious, the staff is very friendly, and the sandwiches are very generous. Now my favorite sandwich shop in Los Angeles.

ordered the fiorentino, it was a big sweet, i liked the salami and truffle cream. i didn't love the bread and the other ingredients. they had a few more options and decent amount of seating.

I couldn't wait to try this place as soon as I heard about it! We ordered the Tuscan and Springtime sandwiches. Both were absolutely delicious. High-quality ingredients make all the difference, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. From the bread to the meats and perfectly balanced layers of tomato, lettuce, cheese, and pesto. The ambiance is clean (very important to me) and inviting, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There's a parking lot in the back, but we easily found street parking right out front. Florence is one of the most magical cities in the world. Not just for its art and history, but also for the food! I'm so excited that a piece of Florence, has now opened up in Hollywood.

I was excited to find this place because j am in this area frequently. The place is bright and clean. I got the XO and took it with me. The sandwich is big! Unfortunately it's all bread. There are oh a few slices of meat. I also didn't care much for the bread. I know places that are cheaper and way better.

Los Angeles has no shortage of excellent sandwiches--my Valley go-tos are Cavaretta's and Domingo's--but Pino's Sandwiches in Los Feliz offers something truly distinct: a taste of Florence. I opted for the vegetarian Lady D, a thoughtful combination of spinach, burrata, eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, potatoes, and pesto on freshly baked schiacciata. The bread--Tuscan flatbread similar to focaccia but thinner--was perfectly crisp on the outside and airy inside. Compared with All'Antico Vinaio (which I've tried in NYC), Pino's sandwiches feel lighter and more balanced, while All'Antico leans heartier, cheesier, and more shareable. A fair comparison would require tasting them side by side, but ultimately it comes down to preference and whether you'd rather visit a single-location import direct from Florence or the more established All'Antico with four LA outposts. Practical notes: parking can be tricky, though there's a lot behind the shop and meters in front. At around $20, the sandwiches may feel expensive, but they deliver a distinctive culinary experience. The team was warm and helpful, though they couldn't quite name the top seller from Florence. According to ChatGPT, that would be The Best, a roast beef, vegetable, cheese, and spicy sauce creation dating back to Pino's opening in 1991. It remains customizable today with substitutions like turkey or prosciutto. One improvement I'd suggest: marking "recommended" or "most popular" items on the menu to guide first-time visitors.

I saw that Pino's opened in the same spot on Vermont that Eastside deli had tried to make a go of it and eventually closed. (Eastside Deli was actually very good and luckily their other shop remains open.) We ordered a couple sandwiches to share. The Ganzo: Prosciutto, stracciatella cheese, sun dried tomatoes and caramelized onions. The prosciutto was excellent and very tasty and the bread was quite good. Nice. We also tried the Ghiotto: Porchetta, smoked cheese, sun dried tomatoes, cooked onions, hot sauce and garlic sauce. I was surprised that the porchetta was very thinly sliced. I was expecting something just a bit more substantial. The onions were still a bit crunchy but overall this sandwich was also quite good. Service was very friendly. Inevitably, we had to compare Pino's to Mamie's since they both serve very similar sandwiches. (Read my Mamie's review) All in all we enjoyed our sandwiches and look forward to trying a few more from the menu. Will Pino's be able to thrive where Eastside deli couldn't?. Only time will tell. 7/10

I read about the opening of this shop and the long line during opening day; I even decided to take a look the day before I visited and noticed that they had sold out before closing time! Given the popularity, I decided to check them out on a weekday afternoon, and thankfully there was a small line when I entered. There are menus available at the counter, and you can also see the sandwiches listed on the wall. I found the service to be polite and to the point, and ordering went smoothly. I got the Italia and appreciated the sharp savoriness of the bresaola and Parmesan cheese. It was a tasty sandwich though less filling than I expected. They have a lot of indoor seating with a smaller outdoor patio, and I also noticed that they offer parking in the rear.

Got the Brasco with smoked cheese and pesto. Absolutely perfect sandwich, hits the sweet spot between a loaded Italian deli sub and a light picnic lunch. Big enough to save half for later. 10/10, will absolutely be back again!

Great sandwich! Ordered the Tuscan sandwich through DoorDash , nice quality products. Tried the original spot in Florence and the taste was exactly the same . It was super salty though. Wanna try them again fresh at their store. Highly recommend

I love this style of Italian sandwich. Was happy to try out this new spot in Los Feliz. No line on a Monday. Bright big shop with a nice menu lineup. Went for the Tuscan. The meat, cheese and pesto were all absolutely delicious. I did not love, love, love the consistency of the bread. I forgot to ask them not to press it. It's a crunchier vibe than I'm into. Just a personal preference, that I usually like a softer sandwich bread and not a pressed sammy. I would definitely go back and remind myself to go cold. Very kind people working hard.

Look I haven't even had my sandwich yet but the service here was incredible. Kev greeted me and gave me samples and truly invited me into the space with an incredible understanding of hospitality. Want an incredible group of people. I ordered a bunch of sandwiches for the office. I'll write an update on how they taste. But just for the service alone, 5 stars. I will be back!

An extremely bland sandwich, that didn't do what it needed to do. IMO if you're going to have a simple sandwich everything on it really needs to do its job.

I went into Piño's on Vermont today and dammmmm it is BANGINNNNN!!!! Italian fresh cut sandwiches on traditional Schiacciata bread in Los Feliz!!!! The guys that helped us were so friendly and helpful!!! All smiles!!!! This is def going to be my new sandwich spot!!!! Thanks to the team at Piño's today!!!!

4.5/5 This one isn't quite at a 4.5/5 yet, but I'm bumping them up so they can get 5 stars because: Los Feliz deserves a fancy sandwich place like this, and I'm really rooting for this place to stick around for a while. Here's the bottom line: the sandwich is good. The bread is good and the meat is good. I feel this place was really lacking vibes when I walked in. There was no music, and the echo in the building was awkward. You can eat outside facing the street, so that's nice. But I probably would not sit inside and eat until they improve the vibe. The staff were nice, just a few quiet young men. I was kinda hoping for a more classic deli feeling, little chit chat, little sample of the meat as it's being sliced, things like that. Or at least the guys having fun. But it's ok, they were nice. When you go to other sandwich places like this, it just feels more buttoned up (or in the groove?) and I felt like the whole vibe was a little timid here. I also feel like for an $18 sandwich, you should load up on the pesto and cheese and meat. I didn't have a big problem with the portion size. It was filling. I just felt like I wasn't getting a premium experience. It's more of a comment on the way sandwich prices everywhere have gone up, but I just feel there used to be tiers of sandwiches. Like a $5 cheap one, $10 mid range, and $15 premium. And now every sandwich place sells an $18 sandwich just because they can, because the other guys do it. Anyways, I'm rooting for this place to keep making a good sandwich, I feel they're in the mid range in terms of quality-to-value, but hey it's still pretty good.

We got the Ganzo and XO sandwiches for our first visit, and they both did not disappoint. Personally loved the Ganzo a bit more because of the caramelized onions, but damn do I love some good mortadella. The staff are friendly and we're kind enough to let us sample meats and cheeses. My friend and I had split our sandwiches and wanted to split the leftovers too. The staff was kind enough to help us cut our sandwiches again so we could wrap them to go. The shop itself is small and has limited seating. However the patio was perfect for lunch. Can't wait to come back for a porchetta sandwich.

Yesterday I walked multiple times into the restaurant, not because I was lost, but the party i was in was indecisive about where to eat. Each time i walked into the laidback environment of the restaurant I greeted with real benevolence and an appetite. I eye balled the Ghiotto sandwich and boy it was a good pick packing rich but subtle flavors from the garlic sauce and porchetta. The best part is that I saved one half of my for the following day and re-toasting my sandwich was the best choice.

Love Pino's! I studied in Florence in 2015 and frequented the original Pino's, as I lived right nearby. Pino was the friendliest & most welcoming! I was ecstatic to hear they opened a Pino's in LA, where I currently live! The customer service was great and the quality was awesome. Would definitely return!

Super good! Definitely will be back to try more. I had the Ganzo and the bread was crispy and the cheese and prosciutto were light and melted in the mouth. Did not disappoint.
