Bay Cities Italian Deli is a landmark and institution because of one thing. A sandwich. It's called the Godmother and this little sandwich has caused traffic accidents, fights, gridlock and the business across the street to hire security guards to protect their parking spaces. I witnessed all this during our visit here and then waited 45 minutes for my sandwich. Was it worth it? Hell yes!!!! The Godmother is an amazing sandwich. I bought a few extra to take back to Hawaii and after a 6 hour flight and two hours to get home, the sandwich was still delicious. This Godmother is filled with Genoa Salami, Mortadella, Capicola, Ham, Prosciutto, Provolone and when ordered with "the works" is topped with mayo, mustard, onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, homemade Italian dressing and pickled hot or mild peppers. I always go hot. The key though to the greatness of this sandwich is the bread. The bread is amazing. Crunchy on the outside but pillowy soft inside. It holds up to the dressing and does not get soggy. Even after the plane flight the thing still rocked.
