My review is based soley on my experience at the deli. The place was recommended to me via a follower on Google+ so I made a mental note to check it out. I live in Hayward and, while close, I dont always find reason to head to Castro Valley. On my way home over the past weekend, I find myself driving up Castro Valley Blvd so I finally took the time to check it out. I expected a small deli upon arrival on my first visit, but the place is so much more and, iff I lived in CV, I might see myself going there often for this and that. They did have some "ready made dinners" in a fridge in the back that interested me until I saw that a very small lasagna cost $10 when Im sure I could get a better price at Safeway. They had a variety of goods that youd find useful. As for the sandwiches, its what youd expect. Theres a choice of bread, meat, cheeses, et cetera as with any other deli so theres nothing special about this place at all. The sandwiches were good, but not above and beyond amazing. If I lived locally, Id definitely come here often, but its not the kind of place that Id go out of my way for. They were delicious sandwiches, though, Im not denying that, but its just a deli. My recommendation is that if youre in the mood for a deli sandwich and if youre in the area, check this place out. You wont be disappointed. However, I wouldnt go out of my way for it. Why not try a deli more local to you if thats the case? There are hidden gyms everywhere.

This has been one of my favorite delis for about 5 years. The wait at lunch time is typically over 20 minutes. You can call ahead but you still have to wait when you get there. Today I went early - 9:30am and got my favorite sandwich, chicken salad, and asked them to add avocado. I was the only customer, and I didnt wait long. Employees were friendly. When I went to eat the sandwich at lunch time, there was no avocado, and barely any chicken in the chicken salad. I have to say I was very disappointed. (You pay more for the avocado). I cant justify driving back over there, waiting in line to have them fix it. Ill chock this one up as one in a 100, and I will be back. I hope they dont lose their attention to detail.

Easily the best sandwiches you can get in the whole East Bay, I know for a fact that there are customers here on the weekends that drive all the way from San Francisco to eat. Their lasagna is also some of the best lasagna Ive ever had in my life. Buy a tray of lasagna and you can feed you and your family for days.

Used to love coming to Luccas Deli...they arent what they used to be. Service was slower than usual. There is usually a wide assortment of drinks to choose from but the cases had been picked clean. Same thing with the salad case, so it was no surprise when the girl began removing them 2 hours prior to closing.

Currently my favorite place to get a sandwich. Quality great tasting meat and friendly service getting you a big sandwich. One person is responsible for your sandwich start to finish, adding to the quality. They also have fantastic spinach dip and frozen Italian dinners selection.

Purchased from their catering menu for a corporate lunch - several large hot dishes and 3 large platters (fruit, antipasto, & italian cookies) and it was good and plentiful! We will return. Excellent service, price, and amount! Thank you.

We have been going to Luccas for as long as I can remember. Everytime we go there is a line because its so good, we always try to call our order in for pick up. The service is great and the food is even better!

As close to an East coast Italian sub as it gets. If youre looking for an East coast italian sub get the "cold cut combo" but beware, it comes with mustard and their "hots" are just peperoncini

The sandwiches are good here, and they are very simple. Not much ingredients to choose from, very classic sandwiches here. Theyre pretty big, and they put a good amount of meat in it.

Delicious sandwiches, pastas, soup, etc. The ingredients are flavorful and fresh. It gets packed, but worth the wait. Its really hard to find places like this, and it is a gem!

Delicious sandwiches made with high quality ingredients. The Dutch Crunch bread was delicious and held its form even after several hours of being lathered with mayo/mustard.

An institution. Busy sandwich counter at lunchtime, good-quality prepared (frozen) Italian dishes for take-out (lasagna, meatballs, etc.), and some imported items.

Love it 2nd generation customer. The seafood sandwich is key. Dont forget to pick up a snack and drink most of them you cant find easily anywhere else.

Sandwiches are a 5, but the service is a 1! I love their pastrami and salami, and I tend to go about 1.30 or 2 because theyre so busy at lunch.

Best. Sandwich. Ever. Their pasta is amazing, too. A little pricey, but definitely worth it. The staff is always nice, even when it gets busy.

The sandwich was delicious, however I didnt find any obvious way to determine how much soda and chips would cost before purchasing.

Great sandwiches! We love ordering ahead and picking up. That way you dont have to take a number. This is the best deli in CV.

Best sandwich in the bay area. There can be a long wait at times, usually best to order ahead on the phone.
