Absolutely love Capri Deli! I'm born and raised in Covina and have grown up eating Capri Deli all the workers are awesome and super friendly and the food is so delicious! I I've always loved picking out a bag of chips and glass bottle soda and looking at all the cool pictures on the wall! read more

Wow! What a disappointment. I understand inflation, but when you're used to getting a Capri Deli pastrami it was legend. But now you get a pre measured baggy from the cooler dipped in broth. What a disappointment. read more

OMG the best food anywhere. Go here now! Cold cut sandwich the bomb, huge French dip the bomb, pizzas the bomb.

The Genoa Salami sandwich with Olives was delicious. The pastrami and meatballs sandwiches were also delicious but didn't get a picture of those. Recommend 10/10 ! read more

Capri Deli - Genoa Salami Sandwich with Olives , Delicious! - Delis Near Me - Covina, California

The best Deli in Covina. They offer lasagna trays to take home if you want to have a lasagna dinner. Their sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is the roast beef capicola. Or a turkey Salami. The staff is always personable. They're soda pop fridge has all kinds of craft sodas. I often love trying some new stuff. Overall this place has a small town feel inside. Never disappoints. read more

Cold cut combo was fabulous! Gonna have to try other sandwiches because this place knows what they're doing. You don't stay in business long, if you're not good. Trust me they're good and their service is impeccable. read more

These people do not care about their customers. There are no responses to any of the review negative or positive. Do not order take out because they will charge you extra for items added to you sandwich and then not put them. Also they dont care how they put the food together because I ordered a large turkey sandwich and it was DRENCHED in oil. There are tons of other places to spend your $ on....dont waste it here. read more

Used to be much better before 2020. Now it's not the same restaurant and has a high turnover on employees.

The location is a little bit hidden but if you know, you know. The food is delicious. It is made with so much love and freshness. The service is so friendly and welcoming even when they're dealing with a crazy lunch rush. Considering the freshness, it is ready quickly. The place itself is cute. It looks small from the outside but there's plenty of room for a comfy lunch. Lots of variety offered as far as food, sides, drinks, desserts, etc. This place is a little hidden gem but 5/5 stars. My lunch date Demi says, "the meatball on garlic bread is next level." read more

Capri Deli - Delis Near Me - Covina, California

I ordered a large sandwich party platter for an event I was hosting at home. While the food is good, there is a lot left to be desired as far as customer service. I called after ordering the large platter to ADD food, and when I was confused about something and changed my mind while on the phone with the employee, she set the phone down without putting it on hold. I heard her speaking to another woman about how annoying it was that I didn't know what I wanted. The other girl then asked what I decided on and when the girl told her, the other woman said "Oh, so she's dumb." She then continued to talk about how what I was ordering didn't make sense. (I still don't understand why she took my order so personally). The other girl got back on the phone to give me my total and I asked to speak to a manager because I'd just heard their entire conversation. She said "oh" and put me on hold for 10 min. When the "manager" named Paige got on the phone, she basically said "So sorry about that, did you still want the order?" I let her know that I was super tempted to cancel it entirely as this situation was so crazy, but that my event was in two days and I would be the only one to suffer in this situation. In my opinion, they could have easily at least discounted the order, thrown in the extra food for free, a discount for next time...anything. This really leads me to believe that Paige is not actually a manager and even if she is, she was probably the one that called me dumb. My mom went in to pick up the order the day of the event and she let another employee know what happened and they were then rude to her. She told them we would be leaving a bad review and the man told her "We don't care we get bad reviews all the time". Even if they don't care, all paying customers should know the type of people they are giving their money to. I've never felt so disrespected after trying to spend money somewhere. read more

An absolute hidden gem. A legit Italian deli. If you haven't tried capri deli. It's a must. You won't be disappointed. 5 stars

They took my order over the phone, but they never made my order so when I got there, I still had to wait about 35 minutes minutes for them to actually make it and that did not include the time I waited in the 'pick up' line which was about another 15 minutes. Needless to say I was very late. As for the food... All sandwiches were good, except the turkey pastrami, which looked very old and tasted terrible according to the person who ordered it read more

I never lived nearby until recently but when I was a kid my mom stopped here for lunch while we were running errands. I always remember the amazing fresh kinda crunchy sandwiches it's been 15 years and was so happy to see they're still in business so I got lunch and it was amazing! A little dry but that's my fault for not asking for mayo. Definitely recommend this little shop read more

Excellent deli sandwiches at a very friendly location. I had the 7" cold pastrami which was lean and tasty. The lettuce and tomato were very fresh. read more

Stopped by here in the Fran's ordered two sandwiches, a meatball and Italian. Both sandwiches were equally good and they have a huge selection of drink choices from alcoholic to non alcoholic. Will definitely have to come back for their other menu items like pizza and pasta. Sauce in the meatball sub was really good. Definitely a must try for subs. read more

Everything here is fresh... had the turkey sandwich it's on a roll so it big enough to share at least for me it is.... Inside they have all kids of old pictures even outside they have an old Chevy that someone drives I love it../. read more

Service was amazing first time there . My husband ordered an extra sandwich for next day lunch and she was so sweet she wrote on bag for tomorrow ! Sandwiches salad and dessert was delicious!! read more

I flippin love this place. I'm a huge sandwich fan and they are my favorite. Every time I go there I get a salami sandwich. I highly recommend getting the garlic bread upgrade for your sandwich and their homemade peppercinis make my mouth salivate just thinking about them. I love their selection of non commercial brands of sodas too. You can grab a beer there as well and it's definitely a lunch time type of place. The Italian food there is ok in my opinion, their pizza gets the job done. Their beef dip and pastrami is solid as well as their meat ball subs. Their Antipasto salad is good too and definitely worth a try. This isn't really a dinner time type of place to sit down but it's fun for lunch. It's got a kind of unique vibe and a slightly old school Italian energy. The girls at the counter are usually nice but I go there cause of the sandwiches, not cause of the service. It's definitely one of my favorite local restaurants. read more

First time going as the deli was highly recommended by a friend. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was good. I had a chicken mozzarella sandwich, which wasn't that great. The sandwich was small and had three very small pieces of chicken. It's not worth the money. On the other hand, the turkey sandwich (which my son had) looked very good and size wise, much bigger than the chicken mozzarella sandwich. I will be going again and trying something else. I'll revisit my rating at that time. read more

Wow !!! Capri Deli blew me away. I ordered a cold Cut sub and some pastries all of which were very delicious and fresh! Thank you for a great Experience, This is the spot for a good Sandwich and Italian cuisine read more

Capri is a solid spot. It's different from Old World Deli and Claros. Depending on what you like, but their sandwiches are HUGE, very filling. When it's crowded, service can get a little slow, but good all around read more

My husband and I decided to try here since it had decent reviews. We went in and placed an order for one Large Garlic Meatball Sandwich. They had us wait for 10 minutes before paying. Once it was paid, they said it'll be 4 to 5 minutes. I went up to ask since it was 25 minutes later and another girl told us it'll be 4 to 5 minutes, which I heard 25 minutes ago. I already seen 6 people that came after us already got their food before us. It took 50 minutes just for 1 large meatball sandwich to be ready without any explanation from the staff on the reason why it took so long. The sandwich was very disappointing and it was definitely not worth the wait. I will not come here again. Also, they charge 46 cents for credit card usage that the girl didn't tell us, which they should or else I could've paid in cash to avoid the extra charge. Overall, bad experience, terrible food, and bad customer service. You are better off going to a different sandwich place. P.S. After eating the food, it gave me a bad stomachache and had to use the restroom. read more

Capri Deli is hands down one of Covina's best kept secrets. If you are the neighborhood and looking for a low key Italian deli; Capri is the spot! The deli has a small eat in area that is good for a quick bite. The menu offers multiple selections of sandwiches that are made to order, pastas, pizza, soups and desserts from local vendors. Additional sides include potato or macaroni salad and other traditional deli sides. Capri also has a unique selection vintage sodas like "Bubble Up" that was popular in the 70s plus an array of others not on my radar. There is also the option to take home some frozen lasagna and pizza dough with the fixings should you wish to embrace your inner chef. My fav is the pastrami which is piled high! In fact the portions are so generous you can easily share the full sandwich with at least 2 people. #ShopLocal. #Managa read more

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well". I visited Capri Deli on Friday evening as I was craving one of their famous sandwiches. For those of you who have not had the chance to visit this landmark establishment, let me tell you a little about this wonderful place. Capri Deli was opened in 1954, and has been kept in the family to this day. I have been visiting Capri Deli for over 30 years, and you can always expect consistency, friendly customer service, and amazing Italian/Sicilian products. They sell everything from Italian cold cuts to imported Italian products. I always seem to stop by when I am in the area. This was the case this past Friday. I was craving one of their amazing 12" meatball sandwiches on Garlic Bread. Italian style toasted sesame roll (made into garlic bread), homemade meatballs, mozzarella cheese, their incredible meat sauce, and a lot of love all go into this monstrosity. Always tasty, always fresh...what else more could you ask for? They also have a cooler that is stocked with craft sodas, as well as a cooler stocked with amazing deserts. I always seem to gravitate towards the lemon bars they sell. If you are ever in the Covina area, make sure you stop by and see for yourself why this location has been a landmark in the area since 1954. read more

When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to Giovanni's Pizza in Fullerton, and Giovanni's ruined me for life. Since then, I have been chasing the memory of the Giovanni's Deluxe Combo Grinder and their pizzas. And, while I have had some success, it has been fleeting. I just had the cold cut combo at Capri's, and I'm a little kid again! This is a true old-school grinder. Meats, provolone, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle, and just the right amount of oil and vinegar to where it starts to jyst soften the seeded roll. Tha is how you make a sandwich! It was very busy, but the service was spot on and super friendly. Capri exceeded all of my expectations. I'm comg for your pizza next, Capri, I hope you can continue to take me back to the olden days... read more

I've been eating at this restaurant for over 30 years. I moved away from Covina and was recently really excited to see that it was added on DoorDash, because I live almost a half an hour away. I've tried it four times over the last month and kept thinking maybe it's just the day, or it's just a bad person I'm getting making my sandwich, but after four crappy sandwiches...it just tells me it's unfortunately not somewhere I want to eat anymore. I almost feel like they're trying to discourage people from ordering on DoorDash by sending them bad sandwiches. Four times I ordered avocado... zero times. I got my avocado, twice no mayo, once the wrong cheese, every time barely any lettuce and it's brown. I don't know what's going on with this restaurant. It's really depressing. I'm done trying. I'm just going to assume that it's never going to be a good sandwich that I will receive, so what's the point. read more

Been going to Capri for many years they have the best sandwich there is always a line because they are good the workers all very nice and helpful read more

Still awesome after....? how many decades? Simply the best, no other contenders. If I tell my family that I'm going to Capri deli, everyone gets excited about the great food that they have been "dreaming" about. Jaws set, ready, get in the car. read more

I haven't been in the shop, so this review is just based on the food we recently placed through Uber Eats. Between the three of us, we'd tried out their Beef Dip sandwich, the meat lasagna, and the cheese ravioli. The overall quality was decent, however, I wasn't very impressed with the flavor. The red sauce for the ravioli and lasagna was fairly bland and the beef dip sandwich jus was way too salty. I did like their side salad that came with the 2 pasta dishes, which was pretty hearty with cheese, olives, tomatoes, and mushrooms on top of a bed of romaine. Sometimes I get a craving for sandwiches so I might come back here to give it another shot on some of their other offerings, but just based on my first experience, I wasn't too impressed. read more

Delicious sandwich. Nice and soft bread, lots of meat and fresh veggies. Last few bites of the sandwich were delicious with the mustard, Mayo, and oil mixed with the bread and meats. Called in the order at 10:40 and when we got there around 11:00, there was about 15 people waiting in line. They have a phone order pick up line, but we still had to wait about 10 minutes to get our food. Not too bad considering how slammed the workers are with all their orders. You can look around at some of the drinks and foods they also sell while you wait. read more

Capri Deli - Cold cut combo - Delis Near Me - Covina, California

Great food! If you're looking for good cold cuts and hot tasty sandwiches, fresh baked lasagna and pizza this is the spot! Super friendly, helpful staff make it easy to order.

They also have "Buck Off" days.. you can get a dollar off on your large sandwiches on certain days. read more

At first glance, it looks so very small. Once I walked in, I realize that there was also a Dining area in the back with cute pictures and frames that Chely has a variety of things that you can order from as well as to go orders and foods. The pizza 10/10, the sandwiches also 10/10. Tried the tiramisu, and the chocolate cupcakes were delicious. Staff was nice and helped out with what to order since it was our first time there. I highly recommend. read more

I love sandwiches! Great bread, good selection of meats and it has the same type of sandwich you'd get at an italian deli on the east coast. Love that you can also get other italian foods that's ready to pop in your oven when you get home. The price of my sandwich was like $15.00 for a large, which was around 12 inches or maybe more. It was pretty large. Service was good- the people behind the counter was very nice and they made my sandwich quick. They also have a big selection of different sodas with unique flavors, so that's fun. read more

The meatball grinder or sub is served hot with marinara sauce and slices of fresh melty provolone. The cold cut combo is their take on a classic Italian sub or hoagie. It comes with capicola which I find spicy so watch out! We added Mayo, mustard and pickles. The large cold cut sandwich is big enough for two light eaters! Grab their small sized soda and get unlimited refills or check out their daily beer specials! They have beer for under $5 if you dine-in. There are a lot of TVS and they always have the football game or baseball or basketball. Parking is available in front of the building or in the lot behind the building. There is a lot of indoor seating, high chairs for kids, and tables for large groups! They also do Pizza at this little deli in Covina. Way better than subway! read more
