Basil's Deli & Cafe - CHICKEN PESTO PANINI - Delis Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I have had Basils in my bookmarks for a very long time and finally decided to try it out. I got their chicken pesto panini and turkey sub which were both just fine, nothing special. The panini was toasted nicely and the pesto did that good flavor but the meat was lacking flavor and the roasted red peppers were overpowering. The turkey sub was just a sub and was sloppy looking, meat falling out and the bread getting soggy. Wish I had a better experience! read more

I've been coming to this sandwich shop (very sporadically) for several years. I never posted a review for Basil's previously because honestly, I didn't like their food that much. I really want to like this place, and keep trying to find something I really like from their menu since it's so close to me. It's in a plaza on Topanga with easy parking. There are an adequate number of tables inside the place, but I've never actually dined in. The place seems clean. Although it's not on my rotation of local sandwich spots, there were a couple of sandwiches on their menu that I found passable. When I get a sandwich close by to my home, I usually end up getting it from other spots that are a bit farther away than Basil's, but are better in my opinion. Today, I thought of giving Basil's another try. I went to their website to figure out what I wanted to order, and was surprised by what seemed like a completely unfamiliar menu. I decided to just go there and order in person instead of over the phone. The menu has also been changed inside the shop since I was last here. Speaking with the people there, I learned that there was an ownership change a couple years ago, and they have now revamped the menu. I decided to go with The Matrix, which is prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, tomato, avocado, olive oil, balsamic glaze, and pesto sauce. It is available in only one size, and comes with a bag of chips and a can of soda for $17.95 plus tax. My first impression before tasting it was that this sandwich is significantly smaller than all the other sandwiches I've ordered from this shop in the past. Maybe that's why this one comes with the chips and soda. I did not enjoy this sandwich at all. The predominant taste of each bite was the bread, which didn't even seem to be toasted. I could also taste the balsamic glaze and tomato in some of the bites, but couldn't taste the prosciutto at all. I would not recommend The Matrix. While I didn't enjoy my sandwich, the people here were friendly and the service was good. For that reason, I am willing to give this place yet another try in the future to hopefully find a menu item from them that I do like. read more

Tried the 12" Da Rosa sub at Basil's Deli Cafe and overall it was pretty good. It comes with salami, turkey, pepperoni, pepperoncini, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, deli sauce, and Italian dressing. The flavor combination worked really well and the ingredients tasted fresh. Compared to Cricca's Italian Deli, there was less meat, so it didn't feel quite as hearty. My main issue was that the sandwich was pretty dry. I ended up adding mayo and mustard myself to balance it out. I also noticed there wasn't an option to add mayo when ordering, and adding mustard was an extra $1, which felt a little excessive for a condiment. That said, the sandwich still tasted good overall and I'd probably come back to try one of their paninis since those might be a better fit for me. read more

I ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini and it was one of the most delicious sandwiches I've had in a while. For some reason, they were swamped today so the orders took longer than usual but the Manager was super nice and offered free chips to us for being so patient. Very clean inside and outstanding service! I really loved my sandwich I definitely want to come back! So good! read more

Ordered through Doordash. I was craving a hot sandwich and I saw this place on the app. Never heard of it before and I've lived in the area for 23 years. Can't believe I've been missing out on some of the most delicious Italian sandwiches ever!! Like how good could a sandwich be? Its just bread, meats, and other things. But the Italian Mostro was fantastic!! So many wonderful flavors in every single bite! And by the way, These are supposed to be 8-inch subs, but they clearly measured 10 inches!! Good job!! read more

These sandwiches really hit the spot. Enjoyed a Tuscan Hot Pastrami and a Torino's Special. The pastrami filled with Boar's Head navel pastrami was tender, fatty and bursting with flavors from the deli dressing and chipotle sauce. Torino's Special was also very good although it didn't stand out as much as the Pastrami. We got the 12 inch subs which come with a canned soda. Very reasonably priced sandwich and drink combo. All in it was less than $40. Super friendly owner who went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our experience. Thoughtful service at the counter. Would definitely be back to get some more of that navel pastrami, which is only available at selected delis. read more

Nothing and I mean nothing beats a really good deli sandwich. And this is it! Up there with the valley contenders Cavaretta's and San Carlo. If you can find your own unique niche, spin, you got it! Granted I ordered a basic deli sandwich because I wasn't feeling adventurous... It still was DELICIOUS! the deli is small and clean. I called in an order and I live about 2.5 miles away. By the time I walked out the door and got there my sandwich was ready. The 12" Torino special. Which also comes with a free soda and bag of chips! A good helping of meat. A good balance of veggies and dressing all in all and around a really good sandwich. I will definitely be back to try the other sandwiches! read more

Does Basil's Deli and Cafe have the BEST Subs in the San Fernando Valley? I needed some sandwiches to bring for a picnic at the Hollywood Bowl and a beach day with friends. I came across this hidden gem that we've driven by hundreds of times. Family owned and operated in the heart of Chatsworth. It's 100% worth the hype!! Quality premium meats, freshly sliced to order. It's a flavor-packed local gem you can't miss. Handcrafted sub sandwiches from Basil's Deli in Canoga Park with fresh Boar's Head meats. We tried these sub sandwiches: Al Pacino's Favorite - bold and meaty. Turkey, roast beef, ham, salami--stacked like a gangster lineup. Classic Italian - timeless deli perfection. Nothing beats a Classic Italian. Genoa salami, mortadella, prosciutto, hot capicolla--each bite, a hit of pure deli magic. Savory and salty! Torino's Special - full of flavor and extra love. It's layered like a love letter to old-school Italian delis with Mortadella, ham, prosciutto, copicolla and salami. Stacked and loaded!! Tip: when taking on a picnic, ask for any sauces, dressings or pepperoncini on the side so that sandwich does not get soggy. They have these unique Basil Seed drinks. Instead of chia seeds floating in the drinks, they have Basil seeds, which helps to cool the body. Perfect for the summer!! Basil's Deli and Cafe is a definite MUST-TRY, with so many incredible sub sandwich options, we'll be back to explore more from the menu! The customer service is top-notch from Herman, Manuel, Greg and Arthur!! read more

We've driven by this shopping center hundreds of times, but never noticed the deli sign. Today we were in the mood for a sandwich and decided to try it out. Coming from the East Coast, sandwiches were a staple of my diet, and this sure has that similar vibe. The store was clean. Italian music playing on the radio. Fresh cannolis on the counter. Clean table clothes on the tables. It is definitely a welcoming environment. We decided to dine in. The owner was there and he was very friendly. Offered us a complimentary salad while we waited. Mixed greens with cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. It was great. Sandwich came within a few minutes and boy was it delicious. The bread was soft. Lunchmeat was tasty. All around a great sandwich. Price was decent. Sandwich for 2 was 15 dollars. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you are in the mood for a great tasting sandwich, definitely check out Basil's! read more

This little shop was clean but a bit cluttered. I got the pastrami sandwich which i added extra cheese and spicy sauce to. My boyfriend got an italian sandwich with ham. I have to say for the high reviews this place has on yelp, i expected more. It's just an average sandwich spot, good for if you're in a rush. I would not come back. The sandwiches were not packed big, I'd say like a Jersey Mike sandwich. Nothing special. If you want big juicy sandwiches with lots of flavor, try Mike's deli on 1st street in downtown LA. They have a second location on slauson in south LA. read more

Found this spot on Yelp and given its stellar reviews, stopping by for me was a must. I tried the Tuscan hot pastrami sandwich and it definitely hit the spot. Delicious, on the leaner side, hot pastrami meat was topped by some veggies, flavorful creamy spicy sauce and all of it inside of a perfectly toasted baguette bread. Altogether, a great, very tasty pastrami sandwich and definitely a top 5 in LA from the many that I've had. To complement a very solid sandwich, was the 10 out of 10 customer service by the super welcoming, attentive owner and the gentleman at the register, who both went above and beyond to make our lunch experience an excellent one. They even hooked me and my friends up with a couple of very fresh Italian style salads and my daughter got a complimentary fruit jelly cup. These guys know good food and the value of great customer experience. The ambiance was pretty good as well, with clean tables and air-conditioned environment, although the interior is on the simpler side. All in all, a good spot and I'll be back to try their other sandwiches! read more

Stopped in to pick up a sandwich to go. Decided to take a quick bite before heading home. OMG, I had to eat the whole thing and the salad and the chips!!!! I STRONGLY recommend the chicken pesto panini, it was so flavorful, warm, melted, fresh, juicy and delicious!!! You know it's good when you gotta close your eyes!! So they are trying out a new combo soon that includes a salad so he decided to give a free sample..... this was the best light, perfectly dressed, fresh, delicious salad I've ever had. Every single ingredient had this indescribable amazing dressing on it. I don't even like carrots that much and I was scraping for them at the end. I didn't want it to end!!!! Total satisfaction.

Craig was very welcoming and made our visit pleasant! Basils hot pastrami is delicious and my go to! Best pastrami in the valley

Great people working here. Super nice and friendly staff. Not sure how it has 5 out of 5 stars, I probably tried the wrong thing. I got the Al Pachino's favorite and it was pretty dry. My gf got the chicken pesto panini and that was delicious! If I ordered only that, I'd say 4 out of 5 stars. I'll probably come back to try something else. But for cold cuts I'd say try Cricca's or Dan's Super Subs in Woodland Hills. read more

I was really looking forward to trying their sandwiches based on the reviews, especially as a first-time customer. I ordered a classic Italiano sandwich through DoorDash, and it was delivered on time. However, as soon as I took a bite, the bread tasted stale and expired. I am disappointed and feel misled by the people who rated them highly. I won't be ordering from them again. It's unfortunate. read more

Today I tried Basil for the first time and got pastrami sandwich. It came with drink and chips. It was fresh and delicious. Truly worth $17 for large sandwich.
