Great pastrami tender thinly sliced. Cooked to perfection. I was not disappointed. I will surely return.

Overpriced food that tastes just ok, and they didn't get my order right. $19 for a SMALL pastrami sandwich!! And I asked for it plain, mustard only. But they still put pickles (easy to remove, so fine) and cheese. The person taking my order asked if I wanted cheese and I said NO. But they put cheese in the sandwich anyway, which cannot be removed since it's melted into the pastrami. I get it, mistakes happen. But this place is overpriced for what you get so I won't be back. read more

I dropped in because I was craving a sandwich. The menu is inspired by our local aerospace industry. My sandwich did not disappoint. The bread had just the right texture. The meat succulent. The right amount of condiments. It took 2 days to finish and even then it didn't get soggy. I will be back to try more of their sandwguch read more

Picked up a couple of subs on the way home. Ordered online and it was ready when we arrived. Friendly staff and quick service. The subs are fresh and the meat and cheese are plentiful. Freshly sliced Boar's Head deli meats and nice, soft bread. I had the Hungry Italian and he had the Rio Grand. Both were really good. We'll go back to try others. read more

We stumbled upon this place on a recent visit to Lancaster. As East Coasters, we were blown away by the authenticity of the deli sandwiches. The California Club and Reuben were so delicious, we went back the following day. And the women who worked there are so warm and welcoming! We hope you found the perfume! See you next trip! read more

Last week while I was at work, I was craving a sandwich. My partner mentioned how good the sandwiches are here so stopped by for one. We walked in on duty and I noticed they're supportive of law enforcement by the patch collection and the flag. It appeared that they get good business because they had quite a few customers who were waiting for their orders. When I placed my order, the staff was very nice and friendly. I asked for a particular deli meat that was not on the menu. They didn't have it but the associate was receptive and was very curious about where they could possibly get it from. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak. It was very flavorful and full of meat. There's a lot of sandwiches on the menu to choose from. I saw the pickle juice benefits and just had to try the pickle shot. It was a very large shot and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing. I love supporting small/local businesses, especially ones with great customer service, so I will definitely be back. read more

GREAT sandwiches! The Phantom Italian is my favorite. Unique selection of chips. Good variety of drinks. Cool vibe inside. The girl who took my order could have been a bit more friendly. Overall, great place, and will return. read more

Not impressed. Wait over 30 minutes for a tuna sandwich and Italian type sub can't remember the names, which was just okay. Bread was hard. Sandwiches weren't memorable. Ambiance was a bit dirty when I went around 1ish. May have been left with the lunch crowd. I would not go back there. read more

The Raptor Duo sandwich is perfect. It's the kind of sandwich I would make for myself. Comes with a pickle too, authentic deli experience. Everything is labeled well and the staff is very helpful. Great place for Sandwiches read more

Service very good. Friendly staff. Phaton Italian sandwich, to much pepperoncinis. California Club, sweet mustard was to sweet for us. Lucky, I remembered to change the bread to roll otherwise comes on a croissant. We don't like it that way. Pastrami on rye was good. I wish they would go back to basics they're missing the mark. Quality of their food is great! Some sandwiches just have to much flavors fighting each other. Would have been 5 if they weren't so extra. They will substitute anything on the menu if you remember to mention. Be sure to read full description of your sandwich. read more

My wife and I have eaten at this deli several times. I ordered the Phantom Italiano sandwich and always orders the roast beef sandwich. The sandwich's were delicious as always. The vegetables were fresh as well as the bread. I recommend eating at this deli, I believe it's the best deli in Lancaster. read more

The Boarshead website has a recipe for a Classic Reuben. The cook's should read it. Very skimpy on the sauerkraut and can barely taste the thousand island dressing. Disappointing. read more

Very good sandwich I was impressed even though I didn't get to try what I normally wanted to order due to hot sandwiches taking 30 plus minutes but it wasn't their fault they are just super busy, the staff was polite friendly and very apologetic that I had to change up order. The Phantom Italian was perfect and my wife said her club on ciabatta bread was excellent she said over all I will comeback to try the pastrami when they are not as busy. read more

Desert Deli has been on my list to visit and enjoy. Many people have mentioned it to me as they know that I like sandwiches. A week ago after golf, I found myself on Avenue L with some appetite but not for anything fried and the first thing that came to mind was the deli. I pulled in and ordered an Albacore tuna sandwich. The deli had it in a croissant making it even more light and tasty, and I'll have to tell you that they had me at first bite... I hope I didn't sound cliche-ish with that comment, but they are truly delicious and if I was to make them, that's exactly how I would like it to come out. Their prices were on the high side, but I am hooked on to try a few more options on their menu. My next sandwich awaits a new review and I hope to have an even better experience. Ciao! read more

Went there once, sandwiches were OK, but the potato salad had been bought over at Stater Brothers. If that's what I wanted, I could have cut out the middle man Not impressed. Haven't been back read more

Had a decent sandwich here, but i can't say it was anything astounding. If heard grand things about this place but it remains to be seen. I do like the little corner shop look. Its very cute and the employees there seemed nice enough and brought our good out to us. Id pop in at least once to try them out if you haven't before. This place has been here a long time so its got to have something to them to remain here. read more

Is it me or the idea of a panini is a hot mess of crispy bread, melted cheese and dripping delicious sauce as an added bonus??? This chicken panini is nothing short of a gas station sandwich at best. Really lame for $14 read more

Desert Deli - Chicken panini! Thumbs down for Desert Deli. - Delis Near Me - Lancaster, California

The best ingredients, resulting in great taste. The crew are very helpful and friendly- Thank you

Found this local gem because of my CDL class is down the street. The review on yelp were great so I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did. The girls behind the counter were really nice and friendly. Had great music playing like Nirvana and System of the Down. The place is clean. I ordered the Phantom Italian without tomatoes. It was delicious. The deli is a Boars Head deli so the meats and cheeses are quality. The sandwich wasn't skimpy, and the bread was really good. Held up to the mayo and dressing really well. I would definitely come back again. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Really good sandwiches. I like the cheesesteak and the au jus roast beef sandwiches, both are delicious. The bread is nice and soft as well.

Desert Deli - Pastrami was excellent - Delis Near Me - Lancaster, California

I guess I was expecting an actual deli. With different kinds of bread like sourdough or cranberry wheat...etc and a pickle. But its more like a sandwich shop like different sandwiches on either croissants or french rolls. I ordered a sandwich called an Apache which has roasted chicken, roasted red peppers, lettuce, cheese, and Chipotle mayo. It was ok. Ill give it another try and order another sandwich. read more

Really good sandwiches. Made fresh with quality meats and cheeses. Would choose this over Jersey Mikes on 10th st west any day.

Great sandwiches! So happy to have high-quality mortadella so close to home. A bit pricey but worth every bite.

Absolutely great food! Nice place, good music...a little small. However, every staff member, even in back on the grill has either bushy or stringy hair hanging in their faces and over the food! In fact as I was ordering a woman came in to return her sandwich as there was a hair in it. Maybe require hair nets or at least have hair pulled back. Very nice staff as well. read more
