Believe it or not, Los Angeles had a flourishing Italian-American community in the area now known as Mission/Taylor Junction. This neighborhood west of Chinatown no longer resembles that one in which the Lanza Brothers opened this shop in 1924, but thankfully the prices haven't changed that much. Inside the nondescript store, the focus is on deli sandwiches served at a great price. Simple, traditional and tasty, the trifecta of convenience is sold here at Lanza Brothers, it's no wonder why the store has been around for nearly a century.
