#2 on the Best Sandwiches in Austin leaderboard

The verdict

The Gourmet Italian at Tucci's Southside Subs scored a 9.6 — a monster number that held the #1 spot on the leaderboard from the day it was reviewed.

This is a locally owned South Austin sub shop doing East Coast–style Italian subs right. A 9.6 means it cleared the pairwise bar on Beli against everything that came before it — including the Pork Katsu Sando from Choo Sando, which it dethroned.

It reigned as champion until October 9, 2026, when the Lomito Beef Sandwich from Buenos Aires Cafe took a perfect 10.0 and claimed the crown. That's the game: hold the top spot until someone beats you head to head.
