San Francesco Foods

Hands down the best veal sandwich in the city. Better than California sandwiches. Huge portion with lots of veal. You can get additional toppings — i usually get mushrooms, crispy eggplants and provolone. If you’re taking it to go, might be a good idea to ask for the sauce on the side because the sandwich can get a bit soggy if you don’t eat it at the resto :) friendly service too!

Not sure if this is new, but I didn’t notice it on my last trip to T.O.
I had the pulled pork. It was, to use a technical term, huge. I remarked upon its girth at when I bought it and again the next night when I had the other half for dinner. It was just as good the second time, so bonus points because it kept well. It would have benefitted from a little bit more sauce. Not sure what size included coleslaw is because I didn’t order it, but if it is commensurate with the size of sandwich then you’ll want to share with a friend or a gargoyle (assuming that your gargoyle eats pork, as mine does).
Super friendly service. The guy wasn’t being nice just to angle for tips because the tip jar was not close to the customer’s side of the counter and it was turned away. I wasn’t even sure if I was supposed to leave a tip because of where the tip jar was but after the guy went out of his way to come over to ask me if I enjoyed the sandwich I decided to turn the tip jar around and put some cash in it.
They offer premium Italian soft drinks including Aranciata and Brio.
Really reasonable prices. The pulled pork and the pop came to a little over nine dollars.

They have a $ 8.50 special right now for a large cheese or pepperoni pizza. Decided to try it out because I have had too much Pizza Pizza from school functions.
Good deal. Fairly thin crust, made to order, adequate pepperoni to cheese ratio.
Took 25 minutes to make though, which I think is rather long if the ingredients are not frozen… and no one else was in the store.
Crust had maybe too much cornmeal dusted on it, and was too charred for my liking. Added an undesirable bitter taste. Overall, I wouldn’t call it a gourmet pizza but it’s not bad if you need a pizza fix.
I’ve heard that the fried panzerottis are pretty good so I may try one next time.
UPDATE: Management is very open to customer feedback which is awesome :) I will try the pizza again!

Ordered the Mad Italian pulled pork sandwich ($ 7.99) and fries ($ 3.75). I just realized their website lists the pulled pork sandwich as $ 7.50. Oh well.
The sandwich is quite big, but you soon realize that most of its size comes from the bread. It’s a lot of bread. It’s not toasted or warm or anything, which was disappointing because I feel like it affected the temperature of the ingredients inside and it would’ve made the sandwich much better.
I ordered the pulled pork thinking it’d be the juiciest based on my experience with pulled pork in general. It wasn’t as juicy as I would’ve liked it to be. I also like my pulled pork to have a good mix of meat and fat, but maybe that’s just me. Flavour-​wise, it was pretty good. I’m not super impressed and I feel like they could’ve packed in more flavour, but it was tasty.
The box of fries looked small, but it was a lot. I was exploding after finishing everything.
The restaurant itself is pretty nice. It’s not too cramped and there’s a fair amount of seating, both tables and window-​facing bench/​bar seats.
They have some coupons for a free pop with the purchase of a sandwich at the counter, so take a look down before ordering and use one.

I just happened to be in the neighbourhood, and came across this place at just the moment I was feeling hungry and looking for a place to eat. It was perfect timing because this place turned out to be great! I had never heard of it and wouldn’t have been looking for it otherwise…
The inside is clean and modern and very welcoming. It’s a fast-​casual joint, so you order at the counter and they call you when it’s ready. I ordered a Chicken Parmesan sandwich, and it was delicious. Also, this sandwich was MASSIVE!!! Seriously, it could feed two people. It’s really that big! I took a pic of it, but I’m not sure you can really judge the size from that.
Anyway, the sandwich was great tasting, and reasonably priced (especially for the portions they serve). Also, the service was friendly, if slightly slow. It took awhile for the order to come out, but I’m assuming that means it’s cooked to order, which is a good thing! I will definitely return when I’m in the area…

very disappointed with the service, we couldn’t even get a plastic knife from the manager who was at the counter, because she was too busy doing her paperwork.
the sandwich buns were very dry, my eggplant parmigiano was very thin.
from the time we walked in, it took them 10 minutes to a knowledge us.

My boyfriend and I were very excited for San Francesco to open as we live in the condo above them. Walking in, the resturant was clean and looked similar to their other franchises in the city. We ordered the Panzerotti and their famous Veal sandwhich… and let me just say, it was delicious!
For the Panzerotti, we had the classic pepperoni and cheese and added additional sausage to it. The ingredients tasted super fresh and they were definitely generous with their portion size (I could only finish half!) The owner also offered us a sample of his tomato sauce and it went really well with the Panzerotti
For the Veal sandwhich, it was meaty and delicious! I only had a couple bites but my boyfriend said it was probably one of the best ones he has ever had! If you think California Sandwhiches are good… then you must try this one! If you like the mushroom, add the extra mushroom for 75 cents, it definitely is worth your while!
We also were fortunate to try their home made gelato. A little sample of each flavour and we must say, coconut was our fav! Never was a big fan of coconut until we had this.
Overall, this place willl be dangerous to have them so close by since I’ll always want to go! Can’t wait to go back and try more items from their menu
