Satisfying and fresh! Quick walk from the Hyatt. They even included a blonde for free! Friendly staff, quick service. Tasty, would have liked a bit more mozzarella, the pesto added nice flavor read more

Bozzelli's Italian Deli-Crystal City - Caprese Sub - Delis Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Now that I have hit a certain age, I feel like that I should not be ordering pizza from places where more than half of the ingredient list is preservatives and melted butter. A quick search on Yelp helped modify my eating habits. Bozzelli's tastes just like Costco pizza and I mean this in the best way possible (who doesn't crave Costco pizza at all moments of the day but does not want to hassle themselves with millions of people buying toilet paper in bulk). I made an order using the Yelp website and less than 45 minutes later I was eating pretty with my feet up on the table and saying goodbye (...or not!?!?) to one of my favorite characters on 'Walking Dead.' I got one of their signature pies (sausage and pepperoni) and added mushrooms and green peppers on top to get my veggies for the day. The crust was chewy with the perfect bite and all of the ingredients tasted fresh (plus no sodium headache the next day). They forgot to include my green salad in the delivery but honestly...didn't really want to eat it anyway. Also extra points for their rice pudding! I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

I went to Bozelli's five or six times due to its convenient location and didn't understand what the fuss was about. Sure, the people working there are really nice, and service is fast, but the food just wasn't doing it for me. I tried the prepared salads (bland but edible), breakfast sandwiches (not bad, but not worth the calories), rice pudding (fine, but nothing special), vegetarian cousin sandwich (overpowering with its red peppers, but I might try it again and add some extra toppings to balance out the flavor), and pizza (too much cheese, and that's the first time in my life I've ever thought anything had too much cheese on it). But then I met the Pepperoni, Steak, and Cheese sub. I was expecting it to be like a cheesesteak, but it was more like a warm roast beef sandwich with spicy pepperoni, tomatoes, lettuce (I think), and delightfully warm mayonnaise on it. The large is big enough for two very hungry people to share, and the regular size is big enough for two kind of hungry people to share. Don't waste your time with anything that sounds healthier. read more

I really have to thank my fellow yelpers for this gem. I've eaten a lot of sandwiches in my day, but the "original" takes the cake. Imagine one of the best steak and cheese sandwiches in your life with melted pepperoni on top? It's like saying Brad Pitt isn't enough, here's Brad with a kitten. Sure, my closet is larger than the space in this restaurant, and the line is out the door, but who cares? I was able to get a carry out order in around 15 minutes. read more

Craft beer, Italian subs and pizzas.. what's not to like, in the late afternoon the shadows of the adjacent high rises shade the outside seating area and you are entertained by the commuters wizzzing by on their way home. Decent place , great grub.. if you are near by, stop by.. TIP: The chairs at Starbucks next store are muy bueno & more comforable to sit and eat, instead of the 2 tables at bozzellii's which are decent but to SB level.. read more

There are a couple of tables out in front but for the most part, it's carry out only. So worth the walk from hotels in the area. The pizza is amazing. read more

Bozzelli's offers a great variety for meat lovers and veggie lovers-so many great options for everyone! Always delicious!

Tonight was my second time ordering from them on Uber Eats. Both times I got pretty much the same things (steak & cheese, cheese pizza, and seasoned fries) because they were delicious and good values. This time, I added the brownie and it was so moist! A new fave. read more

Had an 8" mixed Italian sandwich ($9) for dinner...it wasn't bad, but I probably should've gone to Jimmy John's and gotten more for my money. The service was quick and good, and it was nice that they also sell craft beer...that alone probably makes it worth the stop. I could be convinced to go back, but it's not a "must do". read more

Bozzelli's Italian Deli-Crystal City - 8" Italian sub. Not bad, but costs $9. - Delis Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

They have pizza now! The broth of the vegetable soup is delicious! But the vegetables are not bite size. Be prepared to gnaw on those big chunks for a while. The broth IS good though. #Thankyou for the cannoli! Real scrambled egg sandwich w/bacon & cheese. $2.99! And it is also humongous! Gotta love a deli that gives you your money's worth! I am truly a fan! read more

Solid pizza, reasonable prices, fast delivery, and food that arrives hot. What more could you want!?

Our sandwiches (Italian sub and cheesesteak) were soooooo good. Wish we lived here so we could come regularly. Highly recommend!

Tried the meatball and eggplant parm. The eggplant parm is a round sandwich so it doesn't feel as big as the long subs- is it an optical illusion? Who knows. I always like eggplant parmesan more at a warm temperature rather than hot, so you can actually taste something without it feeling like coal on my tongue. This one was blazing hot so I had to wait a while. It was pretty tasty and I only wish it was bigger. Like way bigger. But compared to Bub and Pops in DC, which was $10 for about this size, this one is more worth it. I wasn't a huge fan of the meatball sub, however the actual meatballs were really awesome. The sauce kinda tasted like Chef Boyardee which was a little disappointing, and the bread was a little forgettable. I expected more from the meatball sub. But overall, I'd say this place is a winner. read more

Quick and delicious! Love the gluten free options! Will definitely keep coming back!!

Very disappointed in the quality of their meats. Ordered a chicken parmesan sub and instead of breast cutlets, they have mystery white meat. It's basically ground, bleached chicken formed into square patties and it tastes quite gross, honestly. It's very chewy. Very low-quality. They would be smart to switch to chicken breast cutlets rather than these white meat patties. Also ordered a supreme pizza with veggies + pepperoni + sausage. The pepperoni tasted nasty, and smelled bad, too...so I picked each one off and threw them all away. Did the same with the sausage. The dough is bland and flavorless, and as someone who loves pizza crust (let's be honest, it's the best part), I had no appetite to eat their crust. Just flavorless, chewy bread (not even crispy). To top it off, I ordered through Uber Eats and called INSTANTLY after placing my order to see if they could make my pizza with light sauce. The guy said it was already in the oven. Really? Because I just put in my order. Regardless, top tier customer service means agreeing to make the accommodation. But I understood, so I let it go. Could not eat more than two slices of the pizza because it just wasn't very good. As for the sub, those mystery chicken patties make me nauseous as I think about how gross they were when I was chewing on them. Threw every single piece of square patty away. Never ordering from here again. Especially given they charge MAD money for their food and yet opt for very low quality ingredients. read more

I'm actually surprised that it took me this long to write this. I live deathly close - so to say I'm a regular at Bozzelli's is like saying I like I'm a fan of breathing, or sleeping. This is exactly what you would expect from a neighborhood deli. There aren't many frills here, which coincidentally, is exactly the way I like it. It's about as close to NY Pizza as you can get in Virginia. hands down as good, or better as the Italian Store in Rosslyn (I think so). The Steak, Peperoni and Cheese sub is the best sandwich, I think. Also, get the Egg bacon and Cheese on the white kaiser roll for your morning meal - you'll wonder why you do breakfast anywhere else. Mike, the proprietor, is a real stand up guy. Just tell him that Mac Attack sent you, and you might get bumped to the front of the line. read more

Ordered via Uber Eats app: We got the standard pepperoni pizza and the general consensus was pretty good but there are much better pizza joints in the area. Honestly I'd pass on Bozzelli's next time I need my pepperoni pizza fix. read more

Update: The store owner was wonderful in handling the issue below. I did not expect to receive such a speedy response. Thank you so much for reaching out to me and handling the issue below. I would have given 5 stars except there was a piece of hair on the last slice of pizza. That ruined this for me. read more

Pizza was good and not too greasy. Only outdoor seating but the weather was nice so no big deal. Food came quick and we finished with the cannoli read more

I just couldn't love this place any more than I already do. Great food, especially their tuna sub. The perfect tuna to mayo ratio plus the tomatoes and lettuce seem to be marinated? Don't know but man, it's good. You can also ask them to wrap any sandwich in lettuce instead of bread. My go to lunch spot in Crystal City. Bonus - they sell bottles of wine! read more

We did pick and were very satisfied with our order. Plentiful and delicious fries. Thin crust pepperoni pizza, bbq wings, and my favorite: buffalo ranch wings. The wings were well done (crispy) and saucy. read more

I'm not a huge fan of delis because sandwiches usually turn out to have too much bread and skimp on the filling, thus resulting in an anti-climactic lunch and ensuing risk factor for food coma. We decided to give this a try because the only alternative was Starbucks next door. Plus, how can you turn down a place named Bozzelli's? Despite being a small casual place and predominantly for grab-and-go lunches, it's charming--pastel-colored patio furniture outside and lots of checkered patterns on the inside. The server was also very friendly and had an extensive conversation with us as we waited for our sandwich. The CHICKEN PARMESAN was the right balance of bread, fried chicken, cheese, and misc veggies; it was not too carby, cheesy, or saucy though somewhat on the salty side for my tastes. We got the 8" and split the halves between 2 people, and it was just the right portion for a satisfying but relatively light lunch. It seems that everything about my sandwich met my standards with Goldilocks precision: just right. My only other comment is that there is an adorable drawing of a cow at the storefront, but the caption "cows make steak and milk" is sho sad... I guess happy cows indeed only come from California. read more

I couldn't possibly rave enough about this place! We came for the first time about a month ago when we came to DC and we went again today. It's within walking distance to our hotel. Staff is always incredibly friendly, and I may never order anything other than the chicken parm. It's seriously the best thing ever. Ever!!!!! There are three two top tables inside and two tables outside. There's a nice selection of beer and wine also!!! read more

I work in the industry, I always say that people are more likely to leave a review if the food is poor or from a bad experience with staff.

Yummy! read more

I sometimes get the eggplant Parmesan when I'm too dang lazy to venture farther out for lunch. It's SO tasty, and more filling than you'd expect for a li'l veggie sam. I branched out on my last visit and tried the turkey pesto sandwich. It was pretty solid, but I read "peppers" and expected spicy, which they were not. Oh well. Everything worked out 'cuz I had a whole bag of fries to myself. (Not sure what kind of witchcraft they use in the recipe but DANG they're amazing.) *insert Cookie Monster gobble sounds* I'm only giving 4 stars because I've never tried their pizza...and I want to be able to tack on another star if it really blows my mind. Will report back. read more

Ordered 2 12" subs.....received one 12" & one 8". Looking on their *in-store* menu I was charged for 2 12" subs ($21+ change with tax)....looking at their *online* menu i was charged for one 12" sub, one 8" sub. Didn't realize the sandwiches were drastically different in size until back to the Potomac Yard shopping center. Food was phenomenal, as i have come to expect from Bozzelli's Alban Rd destination. Customer service was also on point. I simply would like to know if the boyfriend and i were overcharged for a 8" original (when we ordered a 12") or properly charged for an 8" original (when yes, once again, I ordered a 12"). I want to try the pizza, but I will not be going out of my way to go back to this location, especially until the in-store menu and online menu differ. read more

This is my three year olds most favorite pizza. Most mmmm's per slice! I've also had the chicken parm sandwich which was tasty.

Great quality subs. I had the chicken parm sub and tried my friend's turkey club, both were amazing and for a great price too. Only thing is I shouldn't have to unsubscribe from both email AND text marketing after placing one online order. I didn't sign up for emails or texts, at least not on purpose. No one wants a texts from a sub/pizza place. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch, as many have said the place is small, only 8 seats total. The entire place was very clean and we kept. I had the chicken parm sandwich. It was good, good not great. The staff was friendly but did have trouble answering questions of another customer on if they did Pizza by the slice (they don't). Overall nice lunch spot in a sea of lunch spots, really a 3.5 Star place but I rounded up. read more

I can remember Bozelli's Deli going wayyyyy back to when it was in what looked like a house off of Route 1 south of Davison Army Airfield and they sponsored baseball teams at Woodlawn Little League! When I stayed in Crystal City recently, I was stoked to see them listed as an option to order online via Yelp so I punched in my order for a sandwich (prosciutto, fresh mozz, roasted red peppers) and went right down the street from my hotel to pick it up. There were a couple tables outside plus a counter you could stand at while eating, but otherwise this is strickly take out. My sub sandwich was just as good as I remembered from years ago and although I didn't order one this time, their pizzas also make a tasty and cheap lunch option. Glad to see an old friend from long ago in a new location! read more

I was in town for a meeting and got out of the meeting late. Bozzelli's was open and delivered. For a delivery pizza place, Bozzelli's is terrific. I had settled in pizza and took a chance on a place I hadn't heard of, thanks Yelp, this place hit the mark. I had a pepperoni pizza and mozzarella sticks. The crust was thin and crispy, the sticks were fresh made and perfect. After the second day of meetings, I actually walked by the store on my way home. I really wanted to stop by for a second day but decided against pizza a second day....a tough, tough decision because the pizza here is worth it. If you're in the area and want delivery or just stop by for a slice. read more

Not bad a little disappointed in the philly cheese though. Service was good and everyone was very courteous
