"Picking the "best" sandwich place in Wakefield is, at best, a futile exercise because our town has so many great places to get a good sandwich," commented reader John Delvin. "Having said that, I'll pick Slice Pizza & More as my current favorite. Their selection is limited, but the ingredients and preparation are both consistently top notch," he said.
