Little deli counter that serves Italian type subs and a few pantry goods. It's a small joint with 3 small tables if you really need to eat there. The people behind the counter are very friendly and offered me samples of some of the olives they sold by the pound ($5-8). The Sicilian with garlic and herbs was very good. So fresh, it had a sour pickle taste and the garlic was strong. Yummm. The subs are $4.95-5.50 for a 7-inch and $9.25-9.75 for a 14-inch. They also serve entree-sized salads and salads by the pound ($4.75-7). The day I went, one of their specials was lentil soup ($2.75) so maybe they have a soup they offer up daily? I went here just before it closed to order the #3--ham, procuitto, capicolla, and provolone ($5.25 for a 7 inch, $9.75 for a 14 inch). At my desk, I opened up the sandwich and fantasized about it's potential mindblowing flavor. OK, not really. I just hoped it'd be a good find. So I opened up the sandwich, and measured the height of the meat and cheese piled up using calipers. I'm an engineer and I demand precision. OK, I used a ruler. Nerd. It was an inch tall. Plus another half inch for the lettuce, onion, tomato, and dressing/pepper (which would be negligible, but whatever). The whole sandwich was 3 inches tall (3.5 inches wide, sorry, might as well). Given these measurements, find the total height of the bread and volume of the sandwich. I took my first bite! Awww. It's OK. The bread isn't spectacular and definitely not the star of the sandwich. The meat was good, especially the quantity, but I was hoping for a little more kick, so more capicolla instead of ham? It all looked pretty even in the cross-section of the sandwich though. The dressing and veggies did compliment it well, the tartness of the vinegar matched with the crunchy lettuce and lightened up the meat and cheese. There were a few really good bites in there that were really smooth and milky--provolone coming through. I don't know. Maybe I forget how subtle prosciutto can be. Maybe I should've added salami when the guy behind the counter asked. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe I should try a different sandwich next time. Yes, I'll just have to do that. read more

I DO NOT like giving out 2 stars. This is a Mom and Pop place...so when you walk into this place with the BEST name ever you THINK you'll get more quality than Subway or any other chain places. For a $7, you'd EXPECT to get REAL greens NOT a mixed bag of romaine lettuce. I went at 3pm and the turkey I wanted was not available. The young lady there said "he didn't cut anymore" I was the only one in there and "HE" has to leave and you leave ONE worker, that worker should KNOW how to operate EVERYTHING in the store. My salad was mediocre at best. Really I could have walked across the lot to the chain store and gotten some at least spinach with my Romaine. and here is the kicker. I ordered the OLIVE IT salad...there were NO OLIVES!!! ummmm hmmmm okay whatever. SO OVER it an disappointed. The young lady dropped a cucumber on the floor and picked it up and put it in the sink instead of trash. you ALREADY know what I'm thinking. The salad was prepared with bare hands. *sigh* as I read the other reviews...I REALLY want to feel the same way. I'm ALWAYS up for trying something twice, so I hope I can update this with AT least 3 stars. read more

To be honest, I did not have high expectations when I walked into this place. I was a bit worried that Yelped had let me down, but I was completely wrong! The nice lady recommended the most popular sub which was the Neapolitan. Oh, it was delicious and that hoagie was on point; soft with a slight but of chewiness. The bread is what makes or breaks a sub. I also had a small side of the mozzarella and tomato salad (Caprese). Man, that was one helluva side! I make Caprese salad at home all the time fresh, but theirs was phenomenal. They made it fresh to order and also added olives which was the perfect touch. Food here is really affordable and fairly priced. Gotta support good 'ol Mom n Pop places. Metered parking on the street. Only one table with 4 chairs and a few other tables against the wall so I recommend taking your sub to go. read more

Seriously more than I expected. There is only one table indoors but you can sit if you like. Food! Everything looked super fresh and they were really helpful. I ordered the daily special. Today it was a smoked turkey, peppers, goat cheese on a pretzel bun. AH-MAY-ZING!!! Did I mention it was only $3.75?!!! Whoa Definitely going back. read more

Family! A lovely Italian sandwich shop where I felt like I was at home in a kitchen full of love. Olive it? I love it! Fresh cuts, a variety of homemade salads (pasta salads, vegetable salads, a popular broccoli 'power' type of salad with raisins, etc. etc. etc. This place is truly a diamond in the rough. They are fair (I asked for my sandwich on a pretzel bread and because it holds less meat, they charged me less to adjust) and just good at being a place where you feel good to give them your business. If you are near the airport, live in the area, or passing by accidentally, give Olive It a try! Bon Appetito! read more

By far the best lunch spot in this area. Delicious sandwiches and side salads. Extremely affordable and family owned. You can't go wrong with Olive it. I LOVE the chicken and tuna salad. The mixed olives with herbs are my absolute favorite! Don't sleep on this spot if you're near by! read more

Yummy salads: broccoli, pasta, potato. Fresh olives and tapenades. I love olives! Therefore I dig this place. Great sandwiches too. Fresh ingredients...great small town family like atmosphere. On one of LA's most unnoticed neighborhoods. read more

Best egg salad sandwich and awesome friendly service...Forever a customer of Olive it!!!

I am OBSESSED with this place! I started working nearby a few weeks ago, and have come for lunch almost every day since. The food is incredible and always fresh - I love that they have different salads every day, and the prices are super reasonable. All of the ladies behind the counter are very friendly and helpful (and patient, especially my first couple times when I couldn't make up my mind because it all looked so good!). I can't recommend this place enough, if you're in the area a must try. read more

Want a sandwich made with the love mamma would make it with? Well if your mamma was in an Italian neighborhood in New Jersey? Fret no more...Olive It! Is...well...IT! Though the menu is limited, allowing them to spend time making what they do better. They have it all from fresh eggplant Parmesan, to fresh homemade potato salad and seasoned olives in this little old fashioned style diner. I ordered a large Italian sub, and have to say, this is the size of a small barge I could sail to Hawaii, or back to Italy! :S The meats and cheeses were right on the money, the vinegar dressing and shredded lettuce just right. In fact the only real complaint I have is the close between 4pm and 5pm depending on day... but hey!...here are some people that chose to have a life instead of living in a restaurant 16 hours a day! My new lunch place on the way to LAX, because they are "Always True to the Cuisine" - Chef Dom read more

A sub that taste just as yummy as the one in Lake Tahoe Keys. I love a good sub with soft white sub bread that is chewy and not tough to swallow. Picked the #1 holding off the ham. Salami was soft thin slices to slide down your throat. Pasta salad is yummy enough to go along with the bbq chips. Nice lunch spot! read more

This is a Jersy style sub shop. The best kind. O - M - G Do you like freshly slice meat? Where when you bite into a sub, it practically melts in your mouth? If you answered yes, then this place is for you. I had the #3-- which I highly recommend if you like italian style subs. Ham, Proscuitto, Capacolla, Provolone They also have freshly made sorbets, Strawberry is good! read more

I've only experienced this place once and I was not happy at all. I was only third in line and it took me almost 30 minutes to get 2 sandwiches. First of all it was blistering got in there and it made the wait even more unbearable. Ahhhhhhhhh! As I was waiting a few unfortunate things also happened. A little boy with no shirt on had free range of the place. Going to the front, back, kitchen, and bothering the sandwich makers very unsanitarily close. I think he was part of their family, but it was not comforting seeing how close he could get to the food. A little later on a regular came in and said she wanted "the usual". There are only two people making sandwiches and instead of finishing up my order, she started on the "usual". My sandwiches ended up coming out the same time even though she came in 5 minutes after me. Last of all, the bread was hard and rubbery at the ends which I think is never a good thing for a sandwich. read more

Oh my God!!! The Jersey Shore must be fantastic, I'm a Bruce fan, but I'm from Coney Island Brooklyn a little North on the Atlantic Ocean. This place made me feel like I was back in junior high school cutting out during lunch break to go get the best sandwich "Hero " in back of the Italian market up the road from school. Go to "Olive It" and enjoy yourself. They'll make it just the way you want 'Olive It ' made. I had large roast beef and Swiss, everything no mustard. I have half for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait very nice people very clean. Easy parking. Made my day read more

I began working in the Westchester are about a year ago, and my one of my Co workers took me to go eat here for lunch one day. I have been hooked every since. The subs taste so good. I prefer eating here over subway and Quiznos which is also in the area. I have no complaints about the service or the atmosphere here. It's a great small sandwich shop that delivers every time i eat there. read more

I've walked past Olive It many times over the four years that I've lived in the neighborhood and never realized it was a deli. The unassuming storefront on a street filled with beauty salons and vacuum cleaner repair stores is easily overlooked by the uninitiated. But when I saw my friend at Headquarters, a salon across the street eating one of their salads, I had to give it a try. The friendly, family run staff made me feel welcome the instant I walked in. And their food is amazing! I love their Olive It salad with tuna. The lettuce is piled high and topped with marinated red peppers, a variety of olives and slices of provolone cheese. There's so much flavor it doesn't even need any dressing. I tried their tuna sub and broccoli salad the next time and they were both outstanding, very fresh and flavorful. You realize they're not just making a sandwich for a customer, they're making lunch for you. That difference in attitude is matched by equally excellent quality. I don't know why anyone would go to a subway when you can get fresh, homemade food for the same price. This is Westchester's hidden secret. I just wish they had longer hours. read more

Never been here before. They close fair early and I keep missing them. Finally I was able to get in. I asked for something not on the menu, a muffuletta, reminisce of New Orleans. They knew exactly what I wanted and proceeded to ask me if I wanted it spicy... Yes please... And did I want to add tepanade too... Yes please. O-M-G!!! This is better than New Orleans!!! Wow... What an amazing sandwich. Fresh bread, spicy, perfect!!! Call it Michelle's Muffuletta. I can't do anything until I finish it!!! Thank You!!! read more

Love the location in Westchester Village area. Good Jersey-style subs!

We stopped in here after seeing it on Yelp as we were leaving the airport. We had four great sandwiches between us. They also had The Pepper Plant hot sauce so we had to get a bottle of that too. Wonderful customer service. read more

Olive my life I've been waiting for a deli like this!! I love Italian deli's and am really excited to find a good one. We got an assortment of sandwiches which were all delicious. The broccoli salad and pasta salad were great. Not too heavy of a sauce, just right. Antipasta platter was displayed very nicely and was a big hit. Will definitely be back to this spot many more times! read more

A little mom and pop whole in the wall that is great if you are looking for a quick/filling bite to eat. The 14inch sub is great to share or if you are a fat kid like me it will definitely fill you up! I get the turkey, capicolla and provolone or the tuna salad but everything is good! Since it is a little mom and pop shop they have abnormal business hour and decide to close the shop on random days so i recommend calling ahead to see if they are open. read more

No frills excellent quality salads and sandwiches. Ingredients seemed top notch to me. Every one of their salads that I had was better than the last one. If you're trying to be healthy and you're close by, this place has what you need. read more

Ive been coming here over the years since Ive worked at LAX. Sometimes its hard to make time to find a good deli/sub shop that can make good food within a matter of minutes to get back to work so Im used to the quiznos/subway lifestyle. But I found this gem randomly when I first started using YELP and still to this day I would recommend this to anyone whos looking for authentic deli food and sandwiches. Located in westchester in the la tijera triangle plaza,owned and operated by family, they provide delicious sides and sandwiches from the #3 Ham, capicolla and proscuitto which has always been and always will be my favorite..because how can you go wrong with any sub that puts prosciutto in it?! Now, dont get me wrong..I love this place so much but Ive noticed that yes, they have lessened the amount of meat they put on the sandwiches because my meal last week, even the 14" didnt really seem filling and I had more veggies than the meat itself. Also, since they have done more catering, which is great for them, unfortunately being only open from 11:30-5 is kind of a letdown because I think they could make just as much money if not more if they were open a little earlier because so many people at my job who have had it now would love to get an early breakfast or lunch from them. But thats the thing of small businesses and how they chose to operate. read more

Great local sandwich shop hours are limited so check before you come over. Service is good. Much better than subway or Togo's.

This is a small to-go deli with sandwiches and prepared salads. I had the chicken salad on pumpernickle. It had lots of dill, bit of celery, not too much mayo, and the bread was good. I enjoyed my sandwich and the people were nice. Too bad it's only takeaway cuz I had to tease my coworkers and eat my food in front of them. read more

Love this sandwich shop. Owned and operated by the wonderful Leslie Augusto. We eat here for lunch at least twice a week. I love the turkey and salami sandwich on sourdough and my boss gets the Chinese chicken salad. The service is amazing and the prices are super reasonable. read more

Small little sandwich shop with friendly workers and fresh ingredients for a GREAT price. Great place to grab a quick, tasty sandwich to go. They keep things really simple but quality. I got a caprese sandwich even though it wasn't on the official menu and the ladies were super accommodating and did not skimp on anything. Such great value for their product. Can't wait to try their side salads. read more

Great prices, cute little shop, sandwiches are great and salads aren't bad either just wish they had more options than just romaine lettuce for each salad. read more

Oh man, I keep craving this sandwich. I came just after opening (11:30am) on a Thursday, and it was busy but not packed. I ordered up a prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich on a roll (they have 4-5 different kinds of bread), a side of chopped veggie, and a soda. All in all, with the 10% Yelp discount, it was just under $9. A huge steal. So the sandwich was amazing. The prosciutto seemed of high quality (not chewy like some can be), and that fresh mozzarella was out of this world. The chopped veggie "salad" was crisp and fresh with good flavoring. There is minimal seating inside, especially when it gets busy (which it did pretty quickly after I came). The people are super friendly, and serve it up as quickly as they can, but it isn't a fast food burger by any means - wait a few minutes, and you'll be rewarded. read more

I have been coming here for about 10 years as it is nearby my work. I love it, even though I am not an Olive fan. Some many other things. Sandwiches galore. I love their flavorful chicken salad. They have a prosciutto tomato sandwich that is yummers. Soups are good. And sometimes they have frozen lasagna or sheppard's pie to take home for dinner for the whole family. read more

Yummy! I had the Roast Beef (why did I capitalize it? Oh, it was just what I wanted.) and provolone with red pepper and tapenade. I asked for it with everything which includes onion, which I don't usually like, but they sliced it so thinly, it had just the perfect amount of taste without that yucky funk that thick slices of red onion contribute. It's a small shop on a side street tucked in between a bunch of busy streets near lax. They have two small and cozy tables. While I waited for my sandwich, the other patrons and I shifted position between the tables and the counter area as they grabbed a soda from the refrigerated case. It all felt nice and easy, but the sandwich was good and judging by the number of customers in this small shop, it's a local favorite. It's one of my favorites now also. read more

Came here due to the high ratings but was thoroughly disappointed with the food Hole in the wall type deli shop with a very simple menu which surprisingly gets quite packed around lunch time! I tried under their 'specialty sandwiches' Turkey w/roasted red bell pepper & imported provolone on wheat bread. Honestly, the bread tasted like it had been sitting out for quite some time...really rubbery and stale tasting. The deli meat was mediocre and the provolone was really dry. I can definitely build a better tasting sandwich on my own by purchasing my own bread and deli meats at a grocery store. I also tried their pasta salad which I thought was a bit bland but I suppose it was light and refreshing. My friend tried the prosciutto w/roasted red bell peppers and fresh mozzarella and didn't exactly have kind words for her meal either. Staff was friendly and service was pretty quick but the sandwiches were extremely underwhelming. I really wanted to like this place but for around the same price, I would hands down go to Subway over this joint read more

Excellent customer service. Price? more than reasonable. quality? superb. Not your average subway sam. Got the Nepolitan with their olive bread. I could almost taste the oliveness of the bread (like olive oil without the oil!). Loved every bite. I will be back to try everything else on the menu. :) read more

Olive It - Nepolitan. Delish. - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let me start by saying I have never been here for lunch so this review is not for that. What I did come here for was their Kalamata spread and their Pepper sauces, they are amazing. I have not been able to find them anywhere else, so if you stop in for lunch check out their spreads and sauces, amazing! I moved out of the area so I haven't been there in a while, I sure do miss it! Trust me if I find myself in their area I will definitely be stopping in! read more

Custom made Sandy's that are scrumptious is there fare. I had a turkey on sourdough and it was really good. Olive It is in an unpretentious shop in the Westchester Triangle, so you might have to keep an eye out to find it, but it's worth the effort. The counter person was friendly and happy to make the sandwich just the way I wanted it. That may not sound like a big deal, but to me sandwiches are a really personal affair, and most sandwich makers just slap the fixings on with no attention to what they are doing. Olive It takes care while making my sandy and for that I take my hat off. They have a nice array of what I assume are house made salads. I went with chips instead but next time I think I'll try the pasta salad. I think they do catering too, and now that I know where they are, and what they do, I'm going to try to use them for a party some time soon. read more

Love Olive It. Great sandwiches, good salads (chicken salad and broccoli salads are delicious). Good customer service. So nice to be able to support local small neighborhood business that is spot on when it comes to good, fresh, homemade food! Oh yeah, prices are reasonable. read more

Great service called before they closed family business right by lax . Got the turkey with roasted red peppers and Provolone. Amazing great blend in flavors with no mayo or mustard. Yum the bread was really soft big plus. My side was mama's famous potato salad bomb! read more

Small sandwich shop but definitely a must try. I had a concoction of turkey, ham and some other meats on olive bread and it was delicious. My new stop on the way to LAX from now on. Shout out to the owner who stayed later than closing time and took my order over the phone. You're awesome! read more

I was driving my girlfriend to LAX and we wanted something to eat and also fast. We found this little hidden gem and their sandwiches are amazing. The owner was so freaking nice to us and she gave great service. You have to try their Neapolitan sandwich, it was amazing. Great pricing for the area and it's only 1 mile from LAX. So if you are dropping friends or family off and just want some chill time with your love ones before dropping them, try Olive It. Their subs and sandwiches are as good or better than Jersey Mikes. read more

Greetings from two friendly staff members met me at the front door. A couple of obvious regulars were ahead of me in line and I was treated just the same. Like a welcome guest. For a lunch place, I found this cute little spot affordable as well as convenient to my workplace. And, now that I've chowed down my turkey and provolone sandwich with all the trimmings - lettuce, tomato, mustard, onions, salt, pepper and roasted red pepper spread - I have decided I must go back again and again to try as many meat, bread and spread combinations as possible! read more
