Best pastrami I've had in the AV. Cheesesteak was good too. Friendly staff. Can't wait to go back to try more items. 5 stars!

Absolutely the best pastrami sandwich I've have in a very long time! I took it home instead of eating there and my pastrami was even wrapped in tin foil as well so it actually stayed very hot to enjoy it at home. Not much takeout not a days stays piping hot by the time you get it home but my sandwich from Desert Deli sure did! The wife had a fighting falcon and was very happy with her sandwich as well! Service was fast and the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back here as regulars! Brian H. read more

The sandwiches are good. Top notch. I've just had too many issues with customer service. Last year I stopped going because I couldn't order my food. I was ordering my lunch there on average of once a week. Then the service just disappeared. I called in my order as I had been doing. And it came time for me to leave. I drove to the deli and was still on the phone. I told them my experience. This year I was in a hurry and decided to try again. After all I really like the food. I walked in and it was like I was invisible. No one acknowledged my presence. No one asked if I had been helped. They called out an order and the gentleman apologized to the customer for the long wait. So I walked out. I loved the old location. I was excited about it moving closer to a location I could enjoy it. But I'm afraid I just can't enjoy it if I can't order from them... read more

Great Sandwiches with quick and courteous service. Have tried different sandwiches and all have been delicious. Will be trying a salad in the future as they "read" well on the menu. Also, next visit will be picking up a Pickle Juice Shot. read more

Sharp service with all the sandwiches that I would get in NY. Very cool place to go get a tasty sandwich from.

Tried this place for dinner. Food was great, staff was friendly, portions were good and the prices were right. LOVE the American flag inside too. We will definitely be back. read more

First time there and went on the advice of a friend. For the price for a sandwich pretty good deal, I would pay a buck or two more for a few ounces of more meat was a little bit on the lien side. Had the French roll, love those things but mine was a little hard and felt like it was two days old, not fresh. Will go back and reevaluate my review but right now need some improvement. read more

Wow!!! This is a hidden gem in the middle of Pearblossom and so worth the drive! The owner is pretty awesomely and super friendly and has weekly specials! Great wasabi dip for his house made chips or if you're like me for the chips and sandwich! Will come again and again when I want a great sandwich that feels homemade! read more

This place is legit I come and had a Palm pesto grilled panini wow absolutely delicious. I love that they carry boars head it's the best meat. If you want an amazing delicious fresh sandwich this is the place to be read more

Desert Deli - Delis Near Me - Lancaster, California

OMG the sandwiches that we order were super delicious and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They had plenty of lunch meat and veggies. I would highly recommend this deli read more

This was my first time going to this place. I love a good sandwich. The Hungry Italian was delicious. I'm giving the overall rating a 1 star because of the customer service. It wasn't busy. The customer service wasn't inviting. I know a lot of regulars go there and you can tell because the customer service was different. What made me upset was the comment the lady made when she gave me what I thought was my order. She accused me of grabbing the bag and leaving which was not the case. She said Hungry Italian which I order. I said oh that must be me and SHE GAVE ME THE BAG!!! After driving off I reached in the bag and realized there were three sandwich's which I didn't order. I quickly turned around and brought them back. What should have happen, she should have check my receipt to confirm the order # which I didn't see on the receipt until later and an apology for giving me the wrong order and inconveniencing me to drive back and a thank you for being honest and bringing it back!!! Don't accuse the customer when you make a mistake!!!! Not sure if I would recommend this place until they make everyone feel welcome and retraining of their associates on customer service. Lancaster, Ca read more

Delicious ! Best deli in the AV. You can actually tell how fresh all of the ingredients are. I had the Phantom Italiano, it was so good I will definitely be coming back. Yum read more

Desert Deli - Delis Near Me - Lancaster, California

Awesome food, friendly staff. They proudly support first responders. Best to call it in and have it ready when you arrive!

Usually hot sandwiches delivered don't taste as good as when you dine in but the pastrami sandwich I just had delivered was perfect! Quality ingredients combined with good portions exceeded my expectations. I'm looking forward to trying more Desert Deli sandwiches. read more

I have ordered from this establishment many times,and they have good sandwiches....but,the last four times I ordered they overcharged me,didn't put everything I paid for In delivery,didn't put all the sandwiches I paid for in order and now today through door dash which means it's double the price! I paid for a California club with bottled drink chips xtra bacon and pickle....guess what I got? I got the sandwich uncooked bacon no xtra bacon no xtra pickle no chips no drink!!! I'm sooo tired of this place and they're lack of consistency I think I'm DONE I refuse to let them ROB me of my hard earned MONEY anymore! Shameful inconsistency is what they're good at! Never Again!!!! read more

Super delicious I would have to say I appreciate this business. Amazing Staff and a healthy environment

Great place good food excellent service Bomb sandwiches give it a try. Bears head meats are so good hidden gem. read more

I drove to the new DELI advertising Boars Head, and was met by a staff completely unaware of what a DELI is. This is a SANDWICH SHOP with false advertising. If you are looking for a Deli, don't waste your time as they do not sell any deli items. If you are looking for a sandwich shop, I'm sure theirs are good since they supposedly use Boars Head, though you won't see it in the cases displayed like a deli would have, so who knows? I was so upset I logged into my long disused yelp account to warn anyone else not to waste their time on this "Deli" read more

This place has the best meatball sandwich ever....I have also had the pastrami sandwich here awesome... meats are fresh along with the vegetables..nice location and the pickles spears that come with the sandwich is a plus .I would of gave the rating a 5 except Amanda who said she was one of the owners when I called about a small issue.. you don't want to loose a customer just correct the problem... read more

Beyond amazing!!! As a Sub connoisseur, this place is SOOOO amazing!!! I love it!!!

We had the mushroom cheesesteak and the hungry Italian. The sandwiches were ok. We ate them right away, and the cheesesteak was somehow still very soggy - maybe it needs a crustier bread? The Italian sandwich had nice flavors, but for the price, it didn't have much between the bread. I was also pretty shocked to see that even some staff members weren't wearing masks at all despite the current LA County mask mandate. I have a newborn at home, so I was especially disappointed to see that this place was being so irresponsible. read more

Stoped on our way through town and loved the Italian sandwich, stacked and sauced to perfection!

We used to go to old location and loved it there! There was so much more seating than new location!! The new one only has two tables inside and seating outside. The outside was windy and chilly in shade. We sat at bigger table toward corner. Inside. The air vent was above us and so windy the napkins were blowing slightly and we were chilly!! Asked is they could please turn air down as so windy and we were cold she had to ask the chef which gave a look with irritation and she then said,"he will turn it down." The whole time there finishing up the temperature never was turned down! There were people waiting each side of us and we won't be back long time because the lack of empathy and took long time for meal to come! On top 3 sandwiches and drinks came to be over $40 seems pricey!! 3 star is for food was good but not the service!! read more

We've been here a few times. Awesome sandwiches. The other day I ordered the Beef 2 Bomber and the Au Jus was missing from the take out bag when I got home. They went above and beyond to fix the tiny issue. Fantastic customer service and killer sandwiches. read more

I'm a first-time customer to the sandwich house and I must say I was not impressed. We ordered two sandwiches one tuna sandwich and one raptor duo. I was not inside the establishment when the ordering was done so I didn't exactly order the food myself but when I receive my food in my vehicle I noticed my tuna sandwich was very flat on white bread and very little tuna ( which I could have easily made at home but I wanted to taste this place) and the raptor duo had very little meat and wasn't impressed on how they packaged the food very sloppy and unprofessional from this highly rated establishment. The cost of these sandwiches are highly overated for what we purchased on this day. The boarshead meat what I got from my husband is good, just wish it could have been presented in a better way and a bit more heavier on the meat and tuna for the price. I feel subway has way more sandwich and better on the price on this particular day read more

Pretty dang good! 1st time here. Nicely done place, food was great. We got the Phantom Italiano and beef/cheddar stack and we both loved the sandwiches. There's all kinds of drink and green/pasta/potato salad choices. Love when you get a pickle with your sandwich and they also have tv in case you don't want to miss the game. The only complaint I would have is the French roll made it hard to take a clean bite! Next time will try a different bread. read more

This place has the greatest sandwiches. I've had the Mojave Pastrami and the Twisted Reuben. So delicious. And the bread is perfect. My friend had the Phantom Italiano. Said it wasn't as heavy but really tasty. Great people that work there too. Highly recommend it. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. The turkey club was great! Thick sliced meat. The staff was great and friendly. I recommend this place to anyone who is on the fence! read more

When we first moved out to this area we were really disappointed in the food quality at restaurants out here until we found this place! Desert deli is always fresh tasting and delicious I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a delicious sandwich. read more

Hands down, without a doubt , the best sandwich place ever! I love this place. Staff is incredible as well. Highly recommend.

This is definitely one of the better sandwich places I've had in a long time. The ladies working there were really nice and the food was excellent. Are the sandwiches as big as giant Jersey Mikes? No. Are they better quality than Jersey Mikes? Yes! As my husband said, "they're filling, I've eaten sandwiches twice that size but that was perfectly filling". Quality counts! I had the chicken bacon ranch with chipotle chicken, excellent! Also great kosher dills! read more

Had the Italian sandwich. Good bread, decent mortadella and pepperoni, would have liked some priscuitto and capocol. Pretty basic sandwich with too much mayo but not very Italian. Could have used some vinegar and oil and some herbs. read more

Waited for 25+ minutes for two of their regular sandwiches -- no special requests. Multiple employees improperly masked in violation of health and OSHA requirements. The bread was very fresh but the sandwiches were not so good as to be worth the wait. I was under the impression that this was a new business but it appears they may have just moved to a different location. They have been around long enough to know how to make these sandwiches efficiently and to staff appropriately to meet demand. The poor service and disregard for customer / co-worker health and safety seems willful rather than oversight -- especially one year into the health precautions / requirements. It's not likely that we will be back. read more

Spot on! If you're looking for something delicious to hit the spot. No matter the weather this will cure the craving. Don't try it, make it a tradition! read more

Amazingly fresh Italian cold cut sandwich. My new go to place for sandwiches. I also ordered potato and macaroni salad. Both were great. The pickle that accompanied the sandwich was also fresh. read more

I save this place for a special treat for myself and if their lucky my family. The sandwiches are toooo good to pick just one, so get a few from the menu and share, that way you can have a little taste of everything or alot if you are sooo inclined. You will never be disappointed. Make sure to get some sides too, the macaroni salad is the perfect addition to any sandwich. Don't forget to leave a good tip believe me it's worth it! read more

Desert Deli - Porketta Cubano and Macaroni salad This will feed me for days! - Delis Near Me - Lancaster, California

My coworker went here today for an early lunch so I asked him to pick something for me. I picked the Meatball Supreme because I don't eat mayo/mustard/dressings, just not my thing. Whenever I go to sandwich deli places, I usually order sandwiches without those. Back to the sandwich, I'm not local to AV and my favorite sandwich place up here is Upper crust. I go there at least 2x a month. Upper Crust's meatball sandwich can't even compare to this one. It's so good! This will be my new to go sandwich place. read more

My buddy took me there a couple weeks ago and my sandwich was excellent. The staff is friendly and place is clean. I've already gone back again, this place will become part of my regular spots to eat. read more
