    Olive It gave me an almost cinematic lunch. Cue up the music, what an amazing experience at a real family deli. I ordered a Roast Beef and Provolone from the Jersey Shore menu and it was fantastic. A soft bun and high quality roast beef were just the beginning. It was pretty much a perfect sandwich. Amazingly, it was less than $10.

    A dear friend of mine Marissa worked here 18 years or so ago during my high school days, she brought me a sandwich after she got me my first job at fox hills mall. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The case full of different pasta salads and take home frozen goods for later. Just a true gem in Westchester, my personal favorite deli in the area. Just a nostalgia bomb every time, and consistently amazing.

    Ummm this is the absolute CUTEST family-owned neighborhood cafe with food you can tell is made with love and care. Honestly though (I'm putting my foot in my mouth here) ya'll should be charging more...I've been here a number of times now since I moved to the area and last time I popped in I got a turkey sandwich, two medium sized sides, AND a frozen meal and it was all just about $30 I was shook. They have solid deli sandwiches, a top notch refrigerated "salad bar" esque situation (my favorite is the brocolli salad) and also a frozen food section often with "feel good" frozen dinners and soups. Service is always extremely friendly and accommodating and they have a few seats inside and cute homey decor. Olive It is my go to local lunch spot

    Such an amazing place! The salads are delicious and so are the sandwiches. It's a local shop where all the local Westchester neighbors come and many are regulars. The staff are super friendly and made us feel at home. Whenever we are craving a fresh salad we come here. It's more of a take out place as they have one table inside and a couple small tables outside. They also have a small counter bar. 5 stars for food and service!

    Truly a hidden gem. The food was fresh and authentic. I got one of their specials and it was just so fresh and the flavor combination was perfect. The service was amazing. Small hole in the wall mom amd pop place with amazing people working inside. There are a couple of tables inside to eat at but most take it to go. Extremely welcoming once you walk in. That's what makes this place feel special. Definitely will be back to try more!

    Great little neighborhood deli spot nothing fancy, just wholesome and delicious food. I especially loved the chicken salad sandwich and the potato salad. The hoagie roll had amazing flavor too. Even though the place was busy, the staff was incredibly kind and patient. We even ordered another sandwich to take home. Thanks for the great food!

It is a large portion so technically you can split it with someone...or...do what I did and just stuff yourself. The pastrami is soft and tender. Service: Absolutely tentative staff.

They deserve better. The parking lot if far so you have to walk through druggies. Price: Very pricey for a sandwich.

    I placed my pickup order through Yelp, and the process was incredibly easy. I ordered the pesto…read morechicken pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, and it was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time. It came with a perfectly toasted garlic roll that complemented the meal so well. My friend ordered the Heights Sandwich and absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I would definitely recommend ordering ahead for pickup. There's also a parking lot behind the deli, which makes picking up your order quick and convenient. I'll definitely be back!

So it's quite the coup that I finally made it on over to the Heights DABS! A slice of that 18 inch pie is on the brain today as I skip up the mini-staircase into the joint. Having just come from another not-to-be-named Pizza spot in the DTLA to NELA corridor, my hangdog face belies my energetic hoppin-pep-in-the-step into Heights, shaking off a droopy and disappointingly dry slice amidst the brain-bleeding profanity laced hate-punk screaming over that joint's speakers as I sized up the Margherita I always use as an avatar to benchmark how we dooooin' in the pizza quality and taste department no matter where I go. I confess I've been captured and SPOILED by love affairs with Greek Pizza in Boston, Deep Dish in Chicago, NYC greezy gooey goodness at 3am, and of course the ultimate seduction of sublime simplicity of the Neapolitan Pizzas of Napoli. Yes, I am a sucker for the traditional brick oven Margheritas and Bufalinas of Italia, just that simple barometer of OG greatness, minimalistic bliss. Less than 5 bucks and 10 min later, I'm ambling down said teeny stairs with a large warm white cardboard box that seems far too large for a mere SLICE. Have they made a packaging error? I was expecting a small thin wilty Dixie plate! These days, we don't wanna waste cardboard, do we? Driving off, I contemplate a spot to pull over along the Arroyo Seco to enjoy my dining behind the wheel. I just can't hold in my wondering, patience is definitely NOT a virtue when curiosity is just killing this Jazz Cat. A quick stop at a red light later, I can't hold it in any longer. FLIP. UP. THAT. LID! Daaaaaaammmnnnn! That is one MONSTROUS slice, as I slyly smile in astonishment! But my sly smile slowly segues to sadness, then semi-panicked confusion, disorientation, even! For THIS is not the Margherita one familiarly recognizes as the artistic minimalistic masterpiece a proper Neapolitan Margherita MUST BE! I am starting to get anxious, angsty, and now a bit ANGRY! what a fool I was! Instead I am misled into chow down mode to consume a Godzilla-sized molten mess of mossy dry basil haphazardly strewn about to and fro across the pie, resembling katsuo bonito flakes dancing around in the disarray of their differential dehydration! Inexplicably, jagged rows of somewhat square Roma tomatoes are lined up in lazy formations like a disorganized military company. What's more, the gooey globs of mozzarella are NOT expertly anchored down to the bed of cheese below, supposed to cling to the pie while providing just enough protruding relief like an old globe map with a mountain range rising above the horizon. Nope, they are instead here and there and almost everywhere, seemingly untethered to the matrix of cheese below, chaotically floating around like slightly rectangular glops of pale possible goodness?!!? JT, hold it together, you must attack this mess while it's still hot. Beep Beep! THE LIGHT HAS TURNED GREEN MANY SECONDS AGO! Get thee to the Arroyo! Minutes later, I'm at my perch. I bite into the unruly beast. I am pleasantly greeted by a most satisfying CRUNCH! Then a chewy tug-tremendous! Then the mass of basil flakiness flying through my mouth and down the hatch, chased by those deeeelish misshapen untethered white cubes o' cheesiness charging down my throat aside tons of tumbling tomatoes! It's an absolute avalanche of WOW! It's like there's a party in my mouth, and the most unlikely heroes showed up and showed out! Let's add the Unconventional Neapolitanical Pizzas of Lincoln Heights to the Lovefest List! Heights DABS, you've made my day. On to meet up with long lost friends converging in HP from nearby points dearly loved, I'm feelin' GRRRREEEEAT! DONE.
