"“When’s the last time you had a great sandwich? And not just any ol’ great sandwich, but a decadent, super meaty one. Been awhile? Go to Pyro Pastrami. The new Oakland pop-up specializes in thick pastrami sandwiches and emphasizes high-quality ingredients, from Cream Co. Meats beef to spices from Oaktown Spice Shop. And the results are a meat eater’s paradise - high stacks of hot, thinly-sliced smoked pastrami accompanied by a warm, griddled rye bun, and melted gruyere, house-made mustard, or other toppings. You’ll have several traditional and non-traditional pastrami sandwiches to choose from (and a vegan one too), but focus on the Pyro Original with an herb-y red cabbage coleslaw or the Reuben, a 4-, 8-, or 12-ounce dream (roughly 14 magnificent meat layers) balanced out with a tangy sauerkraut. Next pop-up dates are posted to their website, and if you want to be a cool kid, give them a follow here.” - Lani Conway, Senior Editor" - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
"This new Oakland pop-up focuses on pastrami sandwiches, with everything from classic pastrami and mustard on rye bread to one with triple-cooked fries, aioli, curry ketchup, and a fried egg. All of their sandwiches are available vegan, too, with a pastrami made from celery root. They’re at Port Kitchens Marketplace in Jack London Square - pop-up dates vary, so check their Instagram for updates." - Julia Chen 1
