The Best Sandwiches in America Might Be Hiding in Pizza Shops

Angelenos are lucky to have the legendary pizzaiolo Chris Bianco at ROW DTLA, the 32-acre industrial mixed-use complex. Bianco sells his thin, crispy, New York-style pizza by the slice at his daytime Pane Bianco. But his sandwiches on baguettes made in-house are excellent. The roast beef sandwich is a nod to the simple New York deli classic he enjoyed as a kid: roast beef, black pepper, and mayo. His Los Angeles version comes gussied up with fermented fresno chile butter, briny pickled banana peppers, a creamy allium aioli, and thin slices of slow-roasted beef. It’s an architectural masterpiece.
