Martinez And Crockett Eateries Makes Best Sandwiches List

MARTINEZ, CA — Sometimes we treat a sandwich as if we are settling for a meager meal, when the opposite can be true. An amazing sandwich can be an elevated dining experience, both delicious and filling.

The Bay Area News Group recently came up with a list of 10 sandwich spots to try now, including Lucia’s Craft Sandwich, with locations in Martinez and Crocket.

Lucia’s is praised for being both affordable and sophisticated. "The balanced menu is as creative as it is simple. If you crave familiarity, they have that. If you’re looking to let loose, you can do that, too." While Lucia's offers eight kinds of grilled cheese, the reviewer recommends "the applewood-smoked ham sandwich ($15), with the sweetness of ...apricot jam playing off the salty meat, accompanied by creamy ricotta and a delicate hazelnut spread in just the right amounts." Lucia’s Craft Sandwich is located at 6682 Alhambra Ave. in Martinez, and 611 2nd Ave. in Crockett.

The East Bay is well represented on the list, snagging six of the 10 slots.
