    Meat subs averaging $8-13; go for the large! Ingredients are fresh, bread is soft and chewy, and the meats are great quality. Lines can be long but it's worth the wait. Highly recommend you up an extra original summer sausage! It's perfectly seasoned and marbled.

    Finally tried the famous Gioia's Deli last week and was not disappointed! Got my husband the Italian beef and I tried the salami and Italian beef and added ham. Added giardiniera, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, mayo and this was a top tier combo. Add some rap snacks and a couple chocolate chip cookies (don't sleep on these- they are huge and the perfect combination of soft and crispy) and we had an amazing lunch! We will be back!

    Great service.. happy helpful smiles even a gal brand new who was immensely helpful. Saw me struggling deciding behind the glass.. I did the hot salami & Italian.. prob the best sandwhich in stl. Hot & fresh.. smiles .. exactly what a deli should be.: old style lost on a lot of people these days.. Also what could be helpful is an adult extra small sand and pricing plus gf bread option.. this small is a meal for me for three days and kinda pricey w half of it prob going to waste..

    Turkey on wheat with veggies
    Cherie R.

    I got Gioia's to go today, it was quick and smelled delicious inside! I got the turkey on wheat with veggies (tomato, onion, lettuce, pepperonici) and sriracha mayo. Loved it! So fresh and tasty - excited to try more things on the menu!

    MEATBALL SUB
    McKenzie C.

    Gioia's deli is delicious. The smell of these amazing sandwiches are the first thing you'll notice when you walk into this place - and if you are craving a sub, this is 100 percent the best place to go. My boyfriend and I visited this cute little place when we were up at the hill because we wanted a quick place to eat and immediately their meatball sub caught my eye. The staff was friendly, their sandwiches were made quick - and if you want to see just how good their meatball sub was you'll have to go visit yourself (But take a look at the pictures below and I think you'll be able to imagine just how beautiful the sandwiches here are ) *Additionally you can ask for garlic cheese bread with all of their sandwich's. I highly recommend this upgrade!

    Hot salami and roast beef on cheese garlic bread
    Alli N.

    First timer and I can't believe it took me so long to get here. Their sandwiches are simply delicious! The bread, the cheese, the meat. I got the salami and roast beef sandwich on cheese garlic bread hot, with lettuce, giardiniera, pepperoncini, horsey mayo, and asked for a side of the au jus! It's a cute, no frills, sandwich shop. Their expo line is fast and the food can't be beat. So good! I'll definitely be back!

    Hot Salami & Roast Beef
    Vineela B.

    This is one of my favorite delis in STL. I've had the Spicy Daggett before, which was a great sandwich. However, my new favorite sandwich here is the Hot Salami & Roast Beef on the garlic cheese bread. I like to add extra veggies to it to balance out the sandwich. They don't skimp out on the portions here! The sandwiches here are gigantic and priced accordingly. Be aware that this location can get pretty packed and even parking in the lot can be difficult around peak hours. Also, online orders typically take 20 - 30 minutes.

    Gioias Menu
    Joshua D.

    Took the advice of the Yelp Army and decided to give Gioias a try. Located in a strip mall in Creve Coeur Missouri. Gioias Deli is a small drive outside of St. Louis and definitely worth a try. Are typically not sandwich people but today seems to be the lucky day. I've heard several great reviews of how good Gioias didn't disappoint. We visited during a Saturday lunch rush and got lucky as the line was not long. Gioias has a very diverse menu of sandwiches and salads and also serves chili. I asked a few patrons what their go to sandwich was and everyone said everything. That being said we went with the Spicy Daggett, Hot Italian and the Hot Roast Beef. All sandwiches were served hit. On fresh bread and loaded with condiments. Prices were reasonable and great portions. Seating at Gioias is limited but on a nice day like today, we sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Overall, great experience and will be back. If you're in the area give Gioias a try.

    Italian trio sandwich
    Elijah R.

    The sandwich was 10/10. The customer service is why I gave it four stars. The cooks were nice but the cash register lady could have been more welcoming (maybe she was having a bad day, not my problem lbvs) so

    Take out today (11/8/22) - hot salami

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

    Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

I stopped in with coworkers today and it was wonderful. I sat and tried to pick the perfect sandwich, but when I got up to order, I couldn't make up my mind. Well, they were kind enough to "surprise me." Yes, that's an option! My sandwich was spicy, sweet, saucy and delicious. My four "must haves" when it comes to a sandwich. I love to overindulge on a good sub. The people that worked here were awesome and super friendly! The customers were even kind and friendly to one another. I highly suggest trying this place SOON! **my one caveat is that it is a bit pricey, but my coworkers and I all agreed, it's well worth the money!!**

I haven't had any of their other sandwiches but I've had their gyro a few times over the years and I like it a lot. I remember the Riverfront Times article years ago saying how it's the best gyro in town as well so I had to try it back then and I think it was a little better years ago than it is today however it's still a good deal price wise with the gyro being pretty filling with a drink and bag of chips. Just know it is a takeout place only since there's nowhere to sit and eat inside and so its good for a picnic in the car or nearby park if you're hungry and can't wait until your all the way home and want to eat it right away. The service is okay, never had any problems. The deli shop itself is clean but basic.

I really wanted the Philly cheese steak, but they were out of the beef and I wasn't feeling chicken. My son ordered the breakfast sandwich on a bagel with ham.

The flavor was like nothing I've tasted before...so delicious! I'll definitely go back to try other sandwiches and make the rest of my family try it. It looks like an old 7-11 and you aren't eating inside, but don't let the looks deter you. A piece of advice I got...order online or call in the order so you get the freshest ingredients.
