I'm not sure if owners changed but this place is not the same. I used to come here faithfully, they had the best sourdough bread, it was chewy and flaky it was so good iykyk. The staff was always pretty friendly as well. I normally ordered a chicken sandwich on sourdough with the works, the chicken used to have a nice rotisserie flavor. However not coming in the office as much I stopped coming. I went in a few weeks ago and ordered my normal chicken sandwich on sourdough. The sourdough was not the same it wasn't chewy or even tasted like sourdough and the chicken tasted like canned chicken. A place I used to love I will not be back. The staff was also rude. read more

This is my first time eating here so I decided to get a turkey pesto melt, but wanted it on a low carb wrap. Unfortunately, the cashier didn't understand me and continued to ask me what kind of bread I wanted; she named the different types so I settled for whole wheat. Overall, the sandwich was tasty, but on the sweeter side.. not particularly crazy about it being sweet. I may come back and try other sandwiches and try to get it on a low carb wrap. read more

North Beach Sandwicheez - Turkey Pesto Melt Sandwicheez - Delis Near Me - Oakland, California

My coworker for lunch wanted to show me a spot not too far from the office, we whizzed down the lift and were at the 12 and Broadway Bart station plaza (a.k.a: city center plaza) and went over to this cute little deli. . It's in a prime location at a hub Bart station and downtown Oakland area. As you enter, you give your order to the cashier. The cashier was very friendly and quick to take our order. My coworker highly recommended the Turkey Pesto Melt for their sandwiches, so I figured I would give it a shot. The sandwich can come off as a bit sweet but also very savory. They also offer salads and wraps here as well if you're trying to stay away from breads. Overall; for the price, the service and food was good. I'll come back for another round! read more

BLT hot, combo. I specifically said white bread. Not sourdough bread. Don't come here. Plenty of other options nearby, like bagel shop and subway. I've worked in this area for 15 years and decided to give them a chance again. Avoid. Too late for ne to complain to them in person because I'm back in my office read more

We came here on a normal weekday during lunch and there were a few customers in the shop. We bought two different types of turkey sandwiches and they were just okay. The bread wasn't anything special while the turkey was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor to it. We had hoped that we would have liked these sandwiches more but there was just not much to them - it was all very plain and just okay. We might try them again but there's nothing in particular that would drive us back to this sandwich shop anytime soon. read more

Great sandwiches & fast service. However do not order through online services! They seem to only do things old school like take food orders over the phone or in person! DO NOT ORDER ONLINE! You may not get your order in time, or receive the right order! I ordered a hot pastrami sandwiches on Italian bread and they gave me a BLT on Sourdough. I didn't want to go back now after walking through that big thunder and hail storm we have today! read more

Taking over the previous spot of Fresh Fuel, North Beach Deli has a wide variety of hot/cold sandwhiches, wraps and salads. Got the 8" roast beef on sourdough for $7.50 total and It's a good value and tasted good. Since Quiznos left the center and not many other sandwhich places nearby, it's a good option. Workers are friendly and efficient. It's more of a take out spot with only 1 table for 2 and a few chairs along the window. read more

North Beach Sandwicheez - Roast beef 8" - Delis Near Me - Oakland, California

3.5 stars, giving North Beach Deli an extra bump because it's so reasonably priced for being in the heart of Downtown Oakland. I went to visit my boyfriend at his workplace, and we went out for lunch. Simple, casual date. I ordered the Las Vegas Reuben at the counter, and we waited in the back. There's lots of standing room and not many seats. Probably by design. It's best to take your food and eat on a bench outside, or back at your desk. Maybe you'll be lucky and score a table here! The sandwiches took awhile to prepare, but it was pretty worthwhile. $8.50 for an 8" sandwich was awesome, since that's about how much I can eat for lunch anyways. There are options for chips and drinks. I like how comprehensive the menu specials are, for those who want to be regulars and have multiple options. Great grab-and-go spot for those who need to eat and get back to work quickly. I'm sure there are many other options in the plaza, but personally I'll take this over Panda Express any day! read more

I'd like to preface this review by saying I've only had one menu item from this place, but it works for me because it's good quality and reasonably priced. I order the Pollo Piadina, which is $5 out the door! I'm in Downtown Oakland frequently and there are not many places where you can get a decent bite to eat for $5. The flavor of the Pollo Piadina is good and the pita style bread is super soft. The veggies used are fresh and the sauce they add to it is pretty tasty. If you're looking for a quick bite and don't wanna break the bank, check this place out. read more

(about 10 minutes) -no seating inside.. posts on net: Jackie Speier nominated Sally Yates 4 President Kennedy's Profiles in Courage Award & Standing for the public good." read more

What I like the best about the North Beach Deli is how keto-aware this place is. The menu proudly presents a good number of keto options, including any of the regular offerings served in a lower-carb wrap. It's clean, bright, and near to all the downtown Oakland businesses and Frank Ogawa Plaza. That it's in a food court filled with high-carb foods makes lunchtime down here all the more pleasant. read more

Love working near city center with all these cafes and restaurants around. It makes it so convenient just to grab a sandwich or salad during work. I usually get the Turkey sandwich with the works and add jalapeños & provolone. They can toast it or make it cold style. Portion is good. It is filling and the light pesto mayo sauce makes it tasty. I've also tried their signature roast beef and pastrami. Those are good as well. Staff are friendly and nice. Always greeted when I walk through the door. Quality here is better than Subway. Although I've been to Subway but this place makes sandwiches taste better. I'll definitely come back again and support this deli. read more

There's nothing special about this place. You've got your standard sandwich shop with your standard sandwiches. Service is fast enough. My biggest gripe is the portion size of their BLT. I got a wad of lettuce, good chunk of tomato, and a tiny sliver of bacon. I could hardly taste it. I felt like they were hinting at me to become vegetarian or something. read more

Cashier was very friendly and helpful. Service was quick. Food was delicious and reasonably priced! Will be coming back for more!

This North Beach Deli just opened up recently in the City Center. I've never tried it out so decided to try it for lunch. I ordered a Country Wrap and made it a meal for an extra $2.95 which adds a small drink and chips. The wrap was good but nothing mind blowing for me. Just enough to keep me full through the rest of the work day but with none of the food coma you get with greasy food. read more

The young man that helped me was friendly, my sandwich was great. The restaurant was clean.great experience

The dedicated sandwich shop in City Center, as Bagel Street Cafe, that soup place that I haven't been to, the Organic Coup, and probably 3 other places technically have sandwiches. I had just gotten back from Miami and was looking to snag a sandwich even though I was disappointing myself after the joy that is a PubSub (Publix Sub). With the name North Beach there was no shock that the focus was more on Italian and it shows with some of the options. But I was pretty simple and wanted turkey and ham on white with provolone, veggies, salt pepper, oil and vinegar. And they did a decent job. If you're in the area and looking for a fast, simple sandwich I can recommend this place. But if you have time to walk I'd take The Lunch Box over this. read more

I had just completed my lunchtime walk around Lake Merritt, returning to the office at just past one when I realized my typical meal of a Trader Joe's Greek Salad just didn't seem very sufficient. "Gosh Darn it, a pastrami sandwich sound nice to myself" I mused to myself... there were a few options along Broadway, but they all seemed to either have long lines or the feel of trying too hard to be cool, or both. I remembered that this joint had recently opened up Oakland City Center, so I figured why not. Now, we've been working in this area for nearly three years, but this is the first time I've eaten at a place in City Center proper (not counting various muffins and ice creams - which are not meals). The first thing I noticed were the 1999-ish prices, when I saw them I was anticipating dinky little portions that would leave me wanting to go to the vending machine within an hour. Not so - I didn't have to eat until late in the evening. Regular sized pastrami sandwich: $7.50. Was it the most fantastic meal I've had in my entire life? No, but it was fulfilling. Were the surrounding conducive to having a romance or an important business meeting? No, but the food could be used for that very purpose elsewhere. A very welcome addition. read more

If you are looking for some good sandwich at a good price you've come to the right place. I had the pleasure of photographing the food for this restaurant, so I ended up trying out their food as well. Their vegetarian Sandwich was really delicious with fresh avocados, and mozzarella cheese. The owner and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I'll be visiting again with my friends soon. read more

Great place to eat. I had the hot pastrami and Swiss sandwich combo, which comes with a drink and chips. fresh lettuce, meat was tasty..

Wanted to leave a review for the excellent customer service I just received. My sandwich order was wrong and I took it back. They remade it perfectly without any hesitation. Quality food and great customer service. I highly recommend it. read more

Disappointed. I came here because I wanted a sandwich with a little more quality than Subway. My mistake. I ordered their $5 Tuna Piadinas, and it was mostly pita bread and lceberg lettuce. Almost zero tuna in it. Think peanut butter spread thin. I like iceberg lettuce. But I ordered a tuna sandwich, not an iceberg lettuce sandwich. Tuna is a low cost high margin item too. Not only are they making money on the high margin item, they don't give you much if it. It's like their penalizing their customers. I want my calories back. Not worth stopping here. read more

I've eaten here 2 times. First two times were good but the 3rd time when they made my sandwich wrong the person just started to pick items off of it after it was backed. Bad form. Got a refund and left. Won't be back. Prices are on the higher side so you expect them to make it right. read more

I have used North Beach Deli for over ten years for Corporate lunch catering and they never disappoint. For the day-to-day, their boxed lunches cannot be beat. They deliver a variety of fresh hot/cold sandwiches (including hearty vegetarian options) and salads. (To me, it beats the competition hands down on taste alone). Everyone I've catered for loves their fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and their various types of kettle chips. What some people don't know is that they also have a catering business which offers an expanded menu. [Check our their website]. They will work with you to provide fresh, healthy options that are tasty as well as budget conscious. If you're ever in their store, be sure to try the strawberry or pomegranate lemonade, it's really good! Regarding the service, everyone is friendly and very willing to help. They aren't successful by accident. Alek and Hind will listen to you and support your catering needs. read more

Don't waste your time calling this a sandwich. The bread is a terrible hunk of packaged bread nothing fresh about it. The meat to bread ratio is waaaayyyyy off. You'll end up full based on the huge amounts of not so delicious cheap bread. The wait time isn't that long even during lunch time but also the sandwich isn't work the $8. Save your money, I repeat, save your money! read more

There are so many great sounding menu options. I was undecided between a sandwich and a salad but when with the avocado caprese salad with chicken. There was so much chicken on the salad and it was tender and well seasoned. Lots of ripe avocado and cucumbers. The salad was filling and I didn't even need to eat anything else along with it to fill me up. read more

I used to go to this place once a week for a wrap, but they kept getting smaller and smaller, so I said f'em. When they first opened, the wraps were around 3 inches in diameter, but the last one I had was closer to 2 inches. The price was still the same. BTW, this place has nothing to do with North Beach and it's not a deli. It's a sandwich place that would not succeed in North Beach. read more

I had tested vegetarian sandwiches which are really good. But honestly, I want to say that I don't recommend salads. So I can say that if you are in downtown oackland and want to eat sandwitches this place is a good option for you. read more

My chicken wrap was horrible!! No flavor, won't be giving them my money anymore. I don't understand how you can mess up a wrap? Again won't be going here anymore read more

My favorite sandwich place.very close to m where I work. Healthy portions. Italian wedding is probably my favorite sandwich.

I ventured into North Beach Deli because I thought it would be a quick option. However, I waited at least 15 minutes for my sandwich, which kind of defeated the purpose. I got a Sinatra sandwich. The sourdough bread I got with it was toasted (I didn't request this, it just came toasted), which made the bread hard. Ever bite I took would push the filling out on the other side, which made it difficult to eat. The sandwich itself was fine, but nothing out of the world. read more

Went here for the first time today, I was very impressed with the customer service behind the counter. The ladies who make the sandwiches are nice. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and it was very good. I am definitely looking forward to going back here in the very near future. read more

This place is so delish! Their sandwiches hit the spot! Well proportioned servings and quality, fresh produce. To top it all off, they have these chocolate chip cookies that are phenomenal. They melt in your mouth and the chocolate they use is quite yummy! I have to say that I love their customer service as well. I order from them on a weekly basis for work and they come through every time! read more

Good place! I always get the wraps, they are pretty big! Fast service, & friendly staff.

Lady with the red hair really knows how to make a sandwich and was prompt in helping me order and made the sandwich pretty fast! Will be coming back next time in the area. Try the hot pastrami!!! read more
