Decent sandwiches. Soup was meant to be coconut but never tasted one hint of coconut. There are better places for soup sandwiches in west end tbh.

Co-owners John Moore and Jon McDonald opened this shop on 12 April 2025 in the former Porteus & Co unit, after hunting for a High Street site for about two years (Glasgow Live, April 2025). The house pitch is gourmet filled sandwiches (“pieces”), salad bowls, coffee, soups and sweet bakes. Signature fills include the NY Deli (pastrami, turkey, gouda, sauerkraut), Piece Club, Cubano, Banh Mi / Veggie Banh Mi, Reuben and salad bowls around £5.75–£7.50 on a February 2024 menu PDF. Strong vegetarian and vegan options. Click and collect via pieceglasgow.com; phone 0141 286 5655. Byres Road hours: Monday–Friday 8–5, Saturday 9–5, Sunday 10:30–5.

Take away sandwich and cake, smoothie and coffee didn’t disappoint. I was so excited I ended up eating the truly American sized sangwheech in my car on bytes road watching the world go by. To the world going by I must have looked like a caged animal being fed for first time in 3 months as I scranned that so quick - a real taste sensation. Will definitely be back.

The spread: Cubano Tomato soup Very very solid sandwich shop, with now many locations across Glasgow. Been to the finnieston and the town branches a couple of times before and never been disappointed with the place. Firstly for the sake of metadata, plenty of vegan and gluten free options ranging from hummus based delights to pickled beetroots. The cubano I had was one I’d never touched before, and although it’s not what I would consider a cubano, the pulled pork was well seasoned, the ham was fresh and tasty but the sauce (probably just mayo) pulled it all together, excuse the pun. Staff were friendly and efficient, happy to chat away to you. But I think the cherry on the cake for me was that they were playing some banging tunes, we all left the place bobbing our head, with some even cutting some shapes. Thank you DJ Piece

Picked up The Rueben and NY deli sandwiches (the Rueben was a personal favourite) and a cheeky wee coffee. The staff were lovely, food was delicious and I definitely will go back again and try something different. Well worth a trip!

I normally don’t leave reviews for places but I have to say I had nothing but amazing things to say about this sandwich shop. Sandwiches are 10/10, generous with the fillings and amazing prices aswell. Me and my boyfriend have tried coffees everywhere and hands down both agreed best coffee we have ever had and the sweet treats are amazing too with wide variety. Staff were super friendly and welcoming.Will 100% be back and have successfully found our new lunch spot!
