St. Louis is home to a bustling cuisine scene, and it’s full of delicacies that you can only find here in the Greater St. Louis area. Toasted ravioli, for example, is one delightful dish that was born here in town. The St. Paul sandwich is another famous St. Louis delicacy, but it’s certainly not the only must-try sandwich in the city. From delis to intimate eateries, these nine delightful destinations serve up delicious sandwiches that you simply have to try:
- Try a muffuletta at Blues City Deli.

Gerry S/TripAdvisor Gioia’s has been a local favorite for over 96 years, and the future looks bright. Why, you ask? Because locals are and will continue to be obsessed with their Italian selections. Their Hot Salami Sandwich is widely celebrated as the best sandwich is St. Louis, and it’s definitely worth indulging in.

Seb S/TripAdvisor This charming eatery has loads of sandwiches to choose from. The Hill Boy, named for the iconic neighborhood in which the restaurant is located, is a favorite, but so, too, is Mary’s Special. What’s so special about it? Probably the garlic cheese bread and irresistible roast beef.
