You can NEVER go wrong with Gioia's! I've been to 3 of their locations (The Hill, Creve Coeur and Valley Park) and the food is CONSISTENTLY amazing at all 3 locations. My go-to is the meatball sandwich on garlic cheese bread w/ mozzarella cheese. The meatballs are seasoned well and taste great, and the bread they use is really good as well - always fresh, and nice and crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. read more

Some of the best sandwich's I've ever had! Hot Salami is a St. Louis staple, and it is very well done here at Gioia's. Service is quick, and very helpful! read more

Great sandwich shop.With meats you don't find in other non Italian shops . Quick friendly service , clean neat dinning area and great sides chips or the pasta salad which is my favorite . My favorite sandwich is the Italian trio or the mortadella sandwich read more

My go to sandwich here is the club however I also like their roast beef and meatball sandwiches. Really I don't know that you can go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. They make them to order, the bread is very good and the toppings they use are always fresh. This is my go to sandwich shop in this entire area. read more

I wish they had a location in South county but I was out as a local park and thankfully this was on the way home. It's not the vibe of the city location but the sandwich was the same and delicious. The parking lot to get into the place is more of a mess than the promenade, and the person who came after me parked so close to me I was worried to back out. Service was quick and nice, Mac salad was good. I'd love a pesto macaroni salad too, more sides in general because they make the meal in my opinion. Love Gioia's forever. read more

First visit to this location and it's every bit as good as the other ones for sure. I ordered The Spaceball from their secret menu and it was phenomenal. Bag of chips, drink and a tip all for under $25. Not terrible. Seating is sort of sparse, if I had to nitpick anything, but I'd have eaten this in my car and been almost as happy. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had, full stop. Ordered the italian roast beef, asked how they recommended it dressed... then let the experts take the wheel... and maaaaan was is life changing. read more

I ordered the Italian Trio (standard garlic cheese bread) and the Turkey sandwich (white bread) and both sandwiches are layered on really thick with meat proportionate to the bread. On the day of, I ate half of the Italian Trio, and the garlic cheese bread was a tasty treat to standard deli sandwiches (I LOVE GARLIC!). The next time I ate the other half of the Italian Trio, the flavor had settled into the bread, and it was even better! I tried half of my Turkey sub the next day for lunch and it was good! However, I felt I could have skipped the pepperoncini - it didn't need it. I was a bit bummed that there were no chips on the menu via Uber Eats but I did order a chocolate chip cookie. It was a large cookie. I would love to come back and try another sandwich on the garlic cheese bread! read more

The sandwiches are so good! They're a little pricey but worth the extra few bucks over other chain restaurants. The restaurant is small and they get very busy so eating there is difficult. read more

If you like tasty Italian deli subs, this is your go-to place! Known for their Hot Salami sandwich for over 100 years, you won't go wrong with anything on their menu from fresh homemade meat subs to salads. Ambience is very casual, order at the counter and pick-up your sub to dine in or takeout. Service is friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid 4.0+ experience, expect to spend ~$15-18 per meal (including chips and drink). Today we ordered the signature hot Salami sandwich, adding Provel cheese, onions, banana peppers. You can choose to add lettuce tomato, jalapeño's, olives, condiments and more - oh so good! Also tried their hot Italian beef sandwich, adding pepper-jack cheese, spicy mustard and Giardiniera peppers. A filling and flavorful sandwich! Added some chips and soda to round out my lunch - delicious! Gioia's is a much better sandwich variation than all other 'sub' shops in my opinion, so don't miss a chance to enjoy a fresh homemade sandwich at one of their STL locations. Plenty of good foods to go as well. ENJOY!!! read more

We have tried the other Gioias. This one just seemed disappointing. I had the meatball sandwich. It's always good. Meatballs are juicy and make for a good sandwich. My husband had the Italian beef. The beef was just basic. Not a lot of meat for the price. He ordered pepperoncini's, just a small amount.. Just seemed slim for the price this time. Service was good. Greeted at the door as soon as we walked in. Quick to order. I ordered the smaller sub, but he rang up the large. Not a big deal, I saved the second half for lunch the next day. Idk if I'd come back tot his one, but would eat at the chain again. read more

Love this place. Yummy sandwiches and salads! Whenever we are in Fenton we stop in to take sandwiches home!

If you like salami, this is simply the best salami that will pass your lips. Been getting sandwiches from the Berra Park location for years and now from Valley Park. I am a big fan of the Porknado, but also like the Hogfather and the Spicy Daggett. Foodie daughter #2 loves the Meatball and the straight Salami. Load'em up with all the fresh ingredients and it is a satisfying meal. Service is quick and orders are always correct. The Valley Park location is small with eat-in space for about 20+ patrons. Parking can be a bit of a hassle when the other stores are busy, but who cares if you are getting great food and the vibe is good. read more

Online ordering is great and sandwiches are world class. Grab the hot salami queso while you're there.

Well, everyone knows this is the one of the worst parking lots ever. But you won't even care after you've eaten here. I had totally forgotten about their original location on the Hill--now I can report that Gioia's is one of the very best delis no matter which location. A lot of the sandwiches are a meat-lovers paradise, but I prefer the simpler hot roast beef (on cheese garlic bread is 100% worth the upcharge). Added pepperoncini makes this a 10/10 for me! Can't wait to return and so grateful for a "real" deli at a more convenient location for me. read more

Ordered take out and it is a great option if you don't want to wait in long line, especially during lunch hours. Gioias deli is always packed. There's not a lot of option to sit down and enjoy your lunch... and the parking lot isn't great. I love the hot salami and roast beef sandwich I got. It's $13 but packed with quality meats and toppings of your choice. Especially the roast beef... so good! read more

Gioia Deli is one of the only places I go to when I want a heavy meaty sandwich. They deliver on both the food and serives. I was fortune enough to be their first customer this morning and I was in and out in 15 mins. Definitely find out about their secret menu to get more meat and options for your next sandwich. read more

Serving some of the very best sandwiches in St. Louis, this James Beard winning deli is a must try. I have frequented the Hill location on many occasions, but this is only my 2nd stop at Valley Park (141 & 44). Two ways to order: 1) Pop in and join the moderately long line while you decide what you want. Took about 5 minutes and I was the 6th ir 7th person in line. 2) Order from their website. I ordered pickup at 12 on a busy Friday and it was ready in 20. You will get email updates when it's ready. Service is efficient and fast. Ask for recommendations! The space is not large with about 6 tables inside and a few out. People are typically waiting and the tables are full. It's a popular place for good reason. Ambiance is super casual. Food recommendations: - Porknado add STL cheese, giardiniera peppers, spicy mustard, horsy Mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato. THIS IS THE BOMB!!! 9.7 - Hogfather - ordered the same way as above. THIS IS THE BOMB!!! 9.71 Gotta try the old Vienna Riplets, plus some of their soda options. Some items available in the fridge for take home. Gotta try it! read more

Great food. Had delivered to my work. Wonderful experience and will order again. Got French dip type and loved it

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I can remember picking up a delicious fresh sub on The Hill and walking over to the park to enjoy it. Came into this location today and what a disappointment. The quality is down, no love in the food anymore, slow service (not that I care about speed of service when it comes to quality), just an expensive, glorified subway. As you can see I don't usually write reviews but I felt so strongly about this I had to. I wish I had a before picture to show you what quality you used to get, all I can show you is what we got recently. Nearly $20 for this. Just lost a 10 year customer. My family and I won't be back, we'll travel out to Blue City Deli instead, or maybe Amighettis. Shame, real shame. read more

We decided to try this new location since it was so close. Sadly it shares a building with a Starbucks so parking was tough as well walking to the store dodging the drive thru traffic. We were there, I though, well enough past lunch time to avoid a crowd but I was wrong. The place was packed with about a third of the crowd waiting for their order, a third seated packing all the tables, and a third in line to order. The order takers were much quicker than the folks making the sandwiches but I guess that would be expected. An order number was being called out about every minute so the sandwich folks must know what they are doing. We had about a 15 min wait to get our two. We both liked what we got. I chose the Hot Salami and Roast Beef. My wife just a roast beef. The car smelled wonderful on the way home. The sandwiches were well worth the wait. There was no leftovers for a later meal like planned. The parking was the only issue. I think I will take another customers process: order online and head over to pick up and go. read more

This will definitely become your favorite sandwich. Everything is good there, but their original staple cannot be beat. The Hot Salami is the best sandwich I've ever had. read more

We've enjoyed Gioa's hot salami for years and when they opened one nearby we were very excited. Then it took us 9 months to finally get there . Anyway we ate here today on the way back from shopping Viviano's in Fenton. It was nice to see they had a good lunch crowd. The line moved quickly, the staff are efficient, polite and helpful. We enjoyed a Hogfather and an Italian Trio. The food was ready quickly and was delicious. Quality ingredients upholding the 100 plus years tradition. read more

Food was just ok. Service was good. Ambiance is nice enough. Just a regular Taco Joint, nothing special.

Delicious! Found this hidden gem looking on Yelp for a deli sandwich, and I was not disappointed. Large portions and really tasty. I will be back. read more

The subs tasted great, however, the service was slow. It was not busy when we were there (Wednesday night) for some reason it took about 20 mins to get our two subs. Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. read more

Forgot to make this review the other day after. It was AMAZING!!! So good. The hogfather is what I got and dang!! I was satisfied. Next time I am going to try something else because honestly it was hard to make a decision- everything sounded so yummy. The cashier was very friendly and helpful as it was our first time and we had questions. The wait was a lil bit but they were busy & new so it is a bit expected! The parking lot is a bit busy, it is shared with Starbucks & a dental office! The restaurant was very clean & new. Pretty good seating space but kind of a smaller establishment. But they do offer a couple tables outside to sit at too!! read more

This new venue is located where the Jimmy Johns used to be, so its a small place next to a Starbucks. Don't be fooled, its the same great sandwiches you'll get at the Hill location only without the crazy long lines. The bread really makes the sandwich and of course be sure to get it hot! Look over the add on's and condiments, they really add to the sandwich. read more

We stopped here during a recent roadtrip and I am SO glad we did. We tried the Italian Trio and the meatball. The meatball was great, but their famous salami in the Italian Trio really stole the show. Easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. We will be stopping here every time we come through this area! read more

Love this place! Great food and friendly staff. Roast beef and salami are fantastic! Always get your sandwich on garlic cheese bread.

Always visit the Macklind location but was out in Fenton and stopped by 2/17/24. Ordered my usual Roastbeef and Salami. Worst sandwich ever the Roastbeef was mushy shredded pretty sure I got served dog food. read more

Our new favorite sandwich place! Their roast beef sandwich is so good!! They have been pretty busy each time I've gone in there, so highly recommend placing an online order and doing a pick up. read more

The best deli sandwich I think I have ever had. The staff was quick and helpful! There are a few tables inside and out but be prepared to take it to go. We also got some meat to grill out of their cooler and we loved it. I am currently pregnant, so I am avoiding deli meat but you can bet this will be my first meal after I give birth! read more

I went to the Valley Park store, I usually go to The Hill location. I ordered a roast beef and cheese on garlic bread. I was very dissatisfied. Very little roast beef and very thin sandwich. I then drove to Gioias on The Hill with this sandwich to replace, and unfortunately ended up close to the same size. The cost of this small sandwich was $17. Better of going to Arby's. After that went to Eovaldis and got a real roast beef 'On The Hill' sandwich twice the size and two drinks for $15. Thank you Eovaldis. read more

Food and service was awesome! Great Bread and meat. Price was a little high but sandwich was very filling and delicious

Awesome original hot salame on garlic herb bun! We got there little after Noon, only ~7-8 people ahead of us, not bad wait, line moved pretty quickly, Tables were turning around quickly, so when our order was ready, a table was available read more

I should say the food was ok, they have a limited number of tables and the like. As I started to move a chair waiting for my meal, the seat cushion fell off the frame. I picked up the cushion and you could see that the screws were not put in the wood portion of the chair to hold the chair together. I pushed the chair aside and told an employee of the problem and she said that is the way they came they are all like that. I told her it was a law suite looking for a place to happen So be careful when sitting at the Valley Park store. Like I said food was OK. By the way it appears that none of the chairs were put together correctly. read more
