I haven’t tried every sandwich out there in the Metro Phoenix Area but I have tried quite a few and these are the sandwiches most worth mentioning of what I tried recently.

Scott’s Generations is among the few places in the Metro Phoenix Area that serves up respectable tasty Pastrami on double baked seeded rye bread. The pastrami is full flavored and peppery and not too lean and not too fatty. It’s just right! I do warn you that the sandwich is enough to feed two-three people so your going to hurt yourself if you attempt to eat the whole forking thing. Scott’s Generations is also one of the few restaurants I know of in the area that also offers belly lox and sturgeon.

Rayner’s is a small English Cafe,  Bakeshop, Chocolate Shop, Coffee Shop and small goods store in Glendale AZ. They call this sandwich, “Best Grilled Cheese in The Whole World Sandwich.” Well the forking truth is that it’s NOT the best grilled cheese in the whole world sandwich but it is the best tasting vegetarian sandwich I had in a long time. The chef made tasty sauces on the right vegetables with that white rye bread are extra special,not too heavy and you might have room from very good fresh baked treats or the best hand made chocolates around.

While Scott’s Generation’s is known for dependable respectable good pastrami ….It must be said that the Wagu Pastrami from Nocawich in Tempe is your special occasion pastrami. It’s prepared in house and there is no other like it in all of the Phoenix Metro Area. I just wish it was piled on a little thicker. It’s luscious, it’s smokey, it pops with flavors and is a special occasion treat.

It has been noted in many publications that the “What the Cluck” chicken sandwich is the best sandwich from Nocawich but I haven’t been able to try that one as of yet. Nocawich is also known for other highest quality sandwiches, baked goods and triple fried French Fries. I do note that this restaurant is located by ASU and the atmosphere was terribly loud when I was there.

Bosnian Sandwiches on UNIQUE Bosnian fresh made to order bread are served at Old Town Sarajevo in Phoenix AZ.  The bread is uniquely light textured like a donut and is a slightly greasy. The specialty is the house made case-less spicy beef sausage. The condiment you use here is ajvar that made from roasted red peppers, eggplant and spices. It’s worth a trip here because the atmosphere. It’s like a town from a Disney Park gone Bosnian and most of the customers are Bosnian.

The Beef on Weck Sandwich is normally only served in the buffalo area. This sandwich is served on a hard kaiser roll brushed with caraway seeds and salt. Inside the sandwich is a big mound of tasty medium rare beef (well closer to medium) served on a dipped roll with au jus and fresh horseradish. A delicious sandwich that you can get at A taste of Buffalo in Glendale AZ.

Most of the best restaurants of the Metro Phoenix area feature Noble Bread. Noble Eatery is a very small counter with a few tables that offers a daily changing menu of a few locally sourced fruit or vegetable dishes, a couple crusty flat fresh baked sandwiches and smorgas. Smorgas are chunks of heirloom grain Noble Bread usually served with a vegetable or Italian tuna, grain and bean mixture.

This tiny restaurant is very similar in food style to Pane Bianco. Both are rustic with an Italian accent and relay on simplest high end ingredients for comforting flavor.

Both restaurants serve fresh made to order crusty local heirloom grain flat bread sandwiches that look similar with quality fillings. I must have been to Pene Bianco over half a dozen times but haven’t been there recently because they took my favorite sandwich off the menu and changed my husband’s favorite sandwich from the original menu. The current sandwiches are very good too. The recommended sandwich has always been the hand pulled mozzarella with tomato and fresh basil from Pane Bianco.

Neither Noble Eatery or Pane Bianco have a public restaurant so you are not going to travel from far to dine at either restaurant.

Bahn Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery offers tasty Bahn Mi Sandwiches and more. They offer TEN kinds of Bahn Mi Sandwiches on rice and wheat flour baguettes. You get that crunch and soft center with all those tasty fillings of pickled carrot and radish, crunchy cucumber, fresh cilantro and house made aioli. This restaurant is a favorite among locals for the tasty food and low prices too!

Cheezheads of Peoria AZ is worth mentioning because they make the tastiest cheesesteak we’ve found so far. The roll is a little on the soft side and would be elevated with toasting but it is a fresh baked roll prepared in house and it’s good. The filling is ribeye steak that is very tender and seasoned just so. It’s a very good sandwich that deserves a shout out

One of the tastiest sandwiches of all came from a not necessarily a sandwich shop but what might be considered a complex.

The Tandori Sandwich from Ocotillo Phoenix AZ. This sandwich was interesting and complex. It was just bursting with all kinds of flavors and made with high quality very delicious chicken. The bread also seemed like it was fresh made.

A honorable mention has to go to Rocket Burger in Phoenix AZ.

Rocket Burger is a casual budget eatery that offers a variety of burgers that are hand packed angus beef in various sizes along with many other items.

It must be mentioned that Rocket Burger offers a forking GIANT wall of bottled sodas for you to choose from.

Rocket Burger also offers many other sandwiches. Recently I had the Mexican Spicy Fish Sandwich.

Breaded Cod topped with an extremely flavorful and surprisingly delicious slaw. I washed it down with a dry cucumber soda.

These were the Sandwiches Most Worth Mentioning that I tried in the Metro Phoenix Area.
