As for vegetarian options, I didn't try the vegan pastrami, but I plan to return with a vegan friend to give it a shot.

This little spot is a true gem in the Bay Area! I know that whatever I eat over the next couple of weeks won't compare to this until I come back.

The title for the best pastrami in the Bay now goes to Pyro's. I ordered one OG Sando and one Reuben, indulging in both on the same day—a truly memorable experience of self-care. I’m eagerly awaiting their permanent location; it's going to be a sacred spot for pastrami lovers!

For the subscription, I ordered the pastrami mafia package, which came with 3 lbs of pastrami, a loaf of homemade rye bread, and mustard. Everything was A+. For the pizza, I ordered a NY Cheese and a Magic Mushroom with a side of Calabrian hot sauce. The pizza was the best NY style pizza I've had in the Bay Area. The fried mushrooms and hot sauce were particularly incredible.

We checked Pyro's out for the first time at a pop-up about a week ago, and it was awesome! Great food and great service I wish we lived closer! read more We checked Pyro's out for the first time at a pop-up about a week ago, and it was awesome! Great food and great service I wish we lived closer!
