The only thing I have to say is they could put a little more bacon on the sandwich for what you pay for the sandwich. All in all it's a really good sandwich. I also ordered a side of the macaroni salad. The macaroni salad is always really good and you can tell they make it fresh every day.

Their Cardelli Specialty Sandwich is one of my favorites, along with the Hot Italian Beef Sandwich! Their Antipasto Salad pairs great with any sandwich! They've always been tasty, and always filling! We have never had bad service, the staff have always been great in our experience! The interior has several tables, and is ADA compliant. Why I brought this up: My mother was wheelchair bound, and it's very important to me that an establishment has handicap accessibility. Don't think too hard, swing by and give them a try!

The next time I came in but I never returned today I was craving a delias grinder ....when I called in the phone service was old school professional, not what I'm used to anymore. And when I got to the restaurant, the woman that it helped me. And cashed me out was extremely hospitable, respectful and treated me like a freaking customer. Not like I was bothering her like these people make you feel nowadays and that was refreshing Her name was cassidy . And because of her class, I will continue to return to Delias grinders University as much as I can. Thank you.

We could've went to a good full service sit down restaurant for much less (tip included). Will we be back? I'd like to say yes but not at these prices. Also the 40 min drive makes it not worth it. I understand good food is not cheap but I'll stick to closer/cheaper sandwiche shops near me (Green Shack/Saverinos)

A sofa in the seating area is inviting, also made the entrance area feel spacious. Art decors on the wall gave it a nice vibes. The little sign by the entrance proclaims artworks are for sale by a living artist (because dead artists don't need the money) made me inquired about the artist(s) who painted these paintings and the sculptors, only to find these artworks are not for sale. Mauza's sandwiches have catchy names. They are made to order so call ahead if you are in a hurry. Tunami was okay, average in size, nothing to lure me back for another try.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Bleu cheese potato salad - oh man - it's the best potato salad I've ever had! I'm a simple sandwich gal - BLT all day everyday - and they make it perfect every time. It's a Riverside favorite because there are always a lot of people getting food from here - the staff are awesome - so friendly. They make you feel like you're one in a million. All these silly little reviews from spoiled entitled kids - lol - sit down - these people are not against anyone for skin color or anything like that. read more

Alot better than subway and most sanwich places, but the girl taking my order had this death stare like she's too good to work in this place. She seemed like she didn't want to help me, she was stacking chips while I waited for about 10 mins before saying "you ready"? This place is good dont get me wrong but I just wish they have nicer people after all we are the ones keeping them open. read more

We came in really early. The OPEN sign is not even on yet. I only addressed this so that they can make it presentable for everyone who wants to come back as their customers. Bathrooms are one of the reflections on how clean and how well the shop is kept. I hope when I get back, I can change my rating for them.

I stopped because they nerfed the coupons and rewards system at some point and it wasn't cost effective anymore. I was excited to get another 50% off coupon recently. The menu is largely unchanged from the previous years, with the addition of like 2 or 3 new plates. There is a lot to choose from with a good chunk of those options being high protein. There's just much more variety than other meal prep services and the meals don't get as boring and repetitive. I was a little annoyed that my order arrived about 40 minutes earlier than scheduled, so I had to rush home from the gym to get it. My impression was that several of the plates felt quite light and looked to have suspiciously tiny portions of protein. You can tell by eyeballing that the provided macros are... optimistic. I couldn't be bothered to weigh every plate, but I did weigh the most obvious offender. The Southwest Chipotle Chicken Bowl claimed to be 411g not including the bowl and it weighed 366g with the bowl. I definitely don't trust the labels, as there's simply no way there's 25g of protein in like an oz of diced chicken. Food was fresh (other than the seafood, which I absolutely do not recommend) and tasted good. Overall, I would sort of recommend for the convenience, but be sure to weigh your bowls so you can make sure you're getting what you paid for.
