Sometimes, all you want is to sink your teeth into a perfect sandwich piled high with fresh ingredients. When that craving strikes, head to these spots. Nashua might not be the first city that comes to mind for sandwiches, but our local scene has quietly become something special. From towering Italian subs to creative vegan melts to classic Reubens that hit just right, here’s where to find the best sandwiches in Nashua.
USA Subs
$ | (603) 437-1550 | WEBSITE
Run by a dedicated team, USA Subs is best known for its excellent service and high-quality subs. But don’t overlook the fresh ingredients, which range from things like delicious salami on the classic American cold cut to fresh veggies in the chicken cobb salad. The only catch is the fairly simple ordering process: orders are placed at the counter during regular hours (before the busy rushes) and picked up quickly at their well-loved takeout spot in Nashua.
Wrap City
$ | (603) 521-8447 | WEBSITE
Serving fresh sandwich classics with a welcoming twist, Wrap City in Nashua stands out not just on this list, but from anywhere else in the area. Wrapped creations, like the Philly’s Best extra wiz, the Alamo with its perfect balance, and fresh chips with just the right crunch, are all fantastic. But nothing compares to their friendly service, made from patient staff who help choose meals and offer extras until you leave satisfied.
Wrap City offers all these excellent options, along with an easy-to-read menu and inviting atmosphere, on a $12 sampler plate every Thursday.
Subway
$ | (603) 891-1466 | WEBSITE
As much as we secretly love the convenience of fast food, the experience at Subway on any given afternoon is unmistakable. That’s because this reliable chain spot maintains a clean, efficient operation where helpful employees assemble subs with practiced precision, filling the space with the fresh scent of baked bread and crisp vegetables. Veggie sandwiches are the move here, and we suggest getting one loaded with fresh produce and topped with chipotle mayo sauce that adds just the right kick.
Add a side of chips and a drink and it’ll be about $12—the best money you’ll ever spend for a quick, satisfying meal that doesn’t require waiting in a drive-thru line.
Monument Square Market
$ | (603) 465-7111 | WEBSITE
For all the sandwich shops that can be found in Nashua, Monument Square Market in Hollis is still relatively underappreciated. Which is why this local market is worth seeking out. Every visit to this quick-service operation needs to start with the Monument special pizza, which features fresh ingredients and perfect dough texture, served with a variety of beers and wines on the side, which adds a nice complement that enhances the flavorful, satisfying meal.
For pure value, we’d point you toward the daily specials with subs and snacks (get the freshly made subs and pizzas). It’s enough food for multiple meals.
Denny’s
$ | (603) 578-0370 | WEBSITE
Denny’s holds a steady spot in Nashua’s lineup of reliable sandwich shops. Originally a classic American diner chain, this welcoming restaurant now operates from its convenient location off Ty 3 in Nashua. Beyond solid sandwiches and diner classics, it’s become one of the area’s most dependable family-friendly spots and a comforting place for a late-night bite.
If you’re dining with kids or a group, their affordable breakfast platters come with pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns, and a side of toast for a fair per-person price. There are no major disappointments on the menu, so order what sounds good, grab a coffee from their fresh pot, and enjoy the clean, accessible atmosphere.
Bentley’s Roast Beef
$ | (603) 883-2020 | WEBSITE
Straight out of Nashua, Bentley’s Roast Beef serves classic New England sandwiches that make perfect sense once you take a bite. Roast beef, lobster rolls, and gyros make up the selection here, and can be ordered as generous portions that come out quick and delicious. The roast beef is absolutely the best and amazing. Find Bentley’s at their no-frills local spot with limited indoor seating, so be aware of bad weather days.
It’s a busy place with super friendly service and very reasonable prices, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner.
Wrap CIty Sandwich Co.
$ | (603) 965-4879 | WEBSITE
This Nashua-based sandwich shop delivers classic wraps and sandwiches with some creative flair, making it a standout for quick, satisfying meals. You’ll often find them serving loyal locals and newcomers alike at their reliable location, offering favorites like their signature wraps and fresh chips that customers rave about sharing at events. The friendly, attentive staff provides impressively quick service, handling everything with professional ease that keeps people coming back.
Follow their positive word-of-mouth for your next reliable stop.
Charleys Cheesesteaks
$ | (603) 402-4449 | WEBSITE
Charleys Cheesesteaks has a loyal following that rivals the local sports teams, with lines to match. The kitchen previously operated in a food court and ran a now-closed mall location, but these days can be found serving generously portioned $15 chicken-philly sandwiches and $8 large cheesesteaks, most recently in Nashua. Yes, Charleys’ sandwiches are some of the most affordable in town (and generally lighter on grease), but food quality is consistently delicious and most orders include fries.
Bill Cahill’s Super Subs
$ | (603) 882-7710 | WEBSITE
Bill Cahill’s Super Subs is all business. The unassuming exterior of this Hudson institution reminds you that it’s mostly takeout (although if you’re lucky, there will be an open stool at the counter). Ordering and pick-up are streamlined, the former handled by friendly, quick staff. That is to say, expect a crowd. On weekends, the entire Nashua area pours in for their excellent sandwiches, like the massive steak and cheese sub overflowing with fillings.
Everything can be served as a full sub or a half, but the sleeper hit here is their Italian sub. The generously stuffed, flavorful creation comes with all the classic fixings. Order it by the foot.
Marc’s Pizza & Subs “Home Of The Roman”
$ | (603) 883-7000 | WEBSITE
There still isn’t a more talked-about and sought-after sandwich spot in Nashua than Marc’s. So what’s all the hype about? Huge, stacked subs that, depending on who you ask, rival the best in New England. That might be debatable, but we have no doubt the chicken parm, meatball subs, and signature Roman at this casual local favorite are the greatest we’ve eaten in town. But Marc’s isn’t limited to just big sandwiches (or their BEST pizza).
Their thin-cut fries are crispy and perfectly salted, the sauce over the meatballs is rich and savory, and if you show up to your next gathering with one of their 24-inch large subs, you’ll be the hero of the party. Heads up: it’s not a sit-down place, but the super friendly owners and delicious, filling food make takeout worth every penny.
Jersey Mike’s Subs
$ | (603) 505-4390 | WEBSITE
Jersey Mike’s Subs is a sandwich shop that consistently delivers tasty subs with meticulous preparation. Expect generous portions with meat piled high, though sometimes thinly sliced, and a menu offering plenty of extras like the popular #8 Sub Club and #13 Original Italian. Keep an eye on their app for convenient ordering and rewards, though it would be helpful to customize cheese selections there too.
The crew, made up of young men, pays great attention to detail, resulting in sandwiches that look like works of art. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the store is always clean. Prices lean toward the higher side, but customers appreciate the quality of both food and service.
