Where four decades of sandwich mastery meets Los Angeles soul, Dans Super Subs Inc in Woodland Hills transforms the humble submarine into an art form that has captivated celebrities, critics, and countless devotees across the San Fernando Valley.

Since 1980, the Halici brothers Herman and Jack have elevated this unassuming deli into a Los Angeles institution, purchasing the year-old shop from its original founder Dan and infusing it with their family's unwavering commitment to quality and community. Their philosophy—"Quality and community above all else"—has earned recognition from the LA Times as "The Best Sub Shop in Los Angeles," KTLA's "Best Alternative Deli" award, and even a mention on Joe Rogan's podcast, cementing its status among Los Angeles fine dining destinations of the casual variety.

The cuisine centers on over 40 meticulously crafted submarine sandwiches, available in regular 6-inch and jumbo 13-inch proportions that defy conventional portion expectations. The legendary "L.A. Street Pastrami" stands as their crown jewel—a fiery masterpiece layering tender pastrami with melted cheese, crispy bacon, grilled onions, jalapeños, and signature spicy Baja sauce that embodies the bold flavors Los Angeles craves. "My Cousin Elvis" pays homage to comfort with BBQ beef brisket and creamy coleslaw, while "Mamma Mia" showcases Italian heritage through house-made avocado spread and premium cold cuts. Each creation emphasizes generous portions and bold flavor combinations, sourced from quality purveyors and assembled with meticulous attention to craft.

The experience unfolds within an intimate space adorned with black-and-white checkered tables and celebrity-signed photographs that chronicle decades of devoted patronage. Limited indoor seating and sidewalk tables create an authentic deli atmosphere where efficiency meets warmth, with Halici family members personally overseeing operations during peak hours. The no-frills environment focuses entirely on the food, though smart diners order ahead online to navigate the consistently busy lunch crowds that testament to the restaurant's enduring popularity.

For discerning diners seeking Los Angeles's most authentic sandwich experience, Dans Super Subs Inc represents four decades of unwavering dedication to craft and community. Reservations aren't required, but ordering ahead ensures swift service during peak hours when this Woodland Hills institution showcases why it remains the gold standard for submarine sandwiches in America's dining capital.
