    Both Genova Delis in Walnut Creek closed so the number of good Delis is shrinking. It had been a while since I went to Parma Deli and had one of their sandwiches. Parma is on the edge of Concord almost in Clayton but worth the drive. I ordered a Poorboy sandwich on a sweet roll. After Maggoria closed down it has been hard to get a good sandwich roll. The rolls at Parma are excellent, soft, fresh, not filling, sandwich had fresh produce and lots of meat cuts blending into a great Poorboy sandwich. If you were a Genova fan, you will love the sandwiches at Parma. Drive a little further and treat your self to a generous sized tasty sandwich or pasta.

    Parma Deli is absolutely one of the best deli spots around. Everything is fresh made, from the food to the salads, and the quality really stands out. Their hot Reuben sandwich is hands down the best I've ever had. If you're traveling through Concord, you have to stop by and try the Reuben -- it's worth the trip.

    We were in the area and had read about this being a great deli. Tried to call in our order but they were backed up over an hour on phone orders. We walked in and received a friendly greeting. The shop is small but has sandwiches, a steam table of prepared food, and Italian market staples. We ordered our Italian mix and a BLT. Short time later, a gent brought our food to our table. The Italian mix was packed with meat and fresh veggies. Wife liked that the bread was chewy vs hard. My BLT was full of crispy and chewy bacon. Both sandwiches were really good. Service was friendly- can't ask for much more!

    I've been wanting to try that this deli for quite a while, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This is the kind of spot that feels like it's been doing things right for decades -- handwritten menus, shelves of Italian pantry staples, and the smell of great food the moment you walk in (I swear I could smell the tri tip even after I left!) The sandwiches are huge and stacked generously. I went with the peppered turkey on a soft roll, loaded with garlic mayo, (I requested as much pesto as legally possible), avocado and all the veg. One sandwich could easily be two meals. They've got a solid lineup of hot items, cold salads, and sides, chips and a plethora of cold sodas to choose from. I also love that they rotate specials like mushroom chicken and ribs every other Friday, and the tri-tip sandwiches are definitely on my list for next time. On top of that, they carry Italian goods like cookies, pasta, sauces, and olive oils, which just adds to the charm! If you're looking for an authentic, Italian deli with massive sandwiches and serious flavor, this place is THE SPOT! I'll definitely be back -- probably sooner than I should.

    Pastrami on sourdough

    In my search for the holy grail of sandos, I found this little jewel tucked in a small strip mall. Must driven by 1/2 dozen times. So I ordered a classic: pastrami on sourdough. So much meat! I could only eat half. So I got 2 meals for $14. Service was great- constant foot traffic. Will return

    It's an odd thing when the service makes a place frustrating. I came in with my family to order a few subs, my wife is feeling the need to satisfy a craving so we decided to hop on into Parma delicatessen. I knew immediately I wanted the meatball sub. This is an item that I traditionally ordered it a lot of different places. This is where it got a bit weird. I wanted to order it with spicy mayo, pickles, and hot peppers. I went up to the counter, placed my order with the guy before asking for the additional items on top of the sandwich, I clarified to make sure it was possible to order them, which he confirmed. He repeated it back to me two times asking me if I was sure which again I confirmed with him on what I wanted. Well that alone was annoying. I wasn't too bothered by the inconvenience. Perhaps he was just being extra cautious. As the rest of the family ordered, and I stood around and waited, I can hear him consistently making chatter about it as if it was a big deal. I don't get it. It's my preference for a sandwich. It's the way I want it. Why does it have to continually be a weird topic of conversation among all the employees? Here's where it becomes tricky because the sandwich was incredible! I would easily order it again. It's just annoying that that gets critiqued, but my preferences are my preferences and I like them. The meatball and sauce were absolutely cooked to perfection. Loved every part of it! The sauce was excellent pickles and peppers were delightful as always. Sandwich 8.5/10

    Best sandwich shop in the Bay Area by far, traditional deli in the center of Concord that does not disappoint. You must try this spot. Easy 10/10.

    Found my go to deli near home! Small mom and pop shop with an extensive menu and many bread and side options to cater to your cravings. It was my first time coming in and the worker who helped me was nothing but patient and kind. A perfect stop for a picnic since there are many parks nearby! Seating is limited so I would suggest taking your sub to go Forgot to mention: portion sizes are HUGE

    I have been here several times and each time, the sandwhich is just as good as the previous. There is seating but it is not much. Best is to take it home to eat! The food here is not only just HUGE but also very delicious. If you are nitpicky with workers using gloves then this ain't the place for you. They do wash their hands after each transaction and etc. Unfortunately my sibling saw one instance while waiting to pay that a worker touched/scratched the inside of his ear before touching a sandwhich he was making. It wasn't ours but it was something they told me afterwards.... Anyways, service is quick and easy. Most of my visits were very chill and laid back. Workers are cool and always nice to me. Probably cause I'm round, short and can barely see over the counter lol. This place can get hectic and really busy at peak times. The wait for the sandwhich isn't long though. You go in, wait for your turn, place your order, wait a bit, pay and off you go to enjoy the monster sandwhich. The sandwhich can be shared or eaten as a whole in 1 meal or split into 2. It just depends how hungry you are or looking for a post-workout meal. The first time I came here, I got the Garlic Herb Turkey (GHT) with Swiss on Sourdough Roll with all the works ($15). I also got the Italian Mix on Dutch Crunch with all the works ($17) for my brother. The GHT +Swiss on Sourdough Roll is a 10/10. The first time I saw this thing I was like "oh sh**! That's a big *** sandwhich!" There was literally a mountain pile of GHT!! It was cool to see that they are not shy in giving a lot for the customers and I really appreciate that! It wasn't dry at all too like other sandwhich places and had the right amount of fixings in each bite. The Italian Mix (consists of Salami, Mortadella, Prosciutto with provolone) is a 10/10 and it was so good that it KO'd my sibling out for the day! Normally he doesn't like sandwhiches but this one was 100% approved. I also have tried other combinations with Garlic Herb Turkey (GHT) and another meat as a combo or just GHT with different type of cheese, Pesto and all the works. They don't skimp on the veggies either. GHT + Provalone on Sourdough ($15) is 9.5/10 GHT + Mortadella + Swiss on Sourdough ($15.50) is a 9.5/10. GHT + Garlic Cheddar + Pesto on Sourdough ($16) is a 10/10. Pepper Turkey + Garlic Cheddar (they put regular Cheddar instead) + Pesto. ($16) is a 7/10. GHT + Pastrami + Swiss on Dutch Crunch ($14) is a 9/10 - Also another banger that KO'd someone for the day lol. I have not yet tried their Smoked Meat and Cheese selection or other possible combinations they have up on the board so we shall see.

    Turkey & roast beef sandwiches

    Parma is the real deal Got the roast beef with all the fixins & some extra sauce I knew it was going to be great when it came with a stack of 50 napkins on the side

    Another great lunch at Parma Deli today. I had the crab salad on soft sweet roll. Son had a liverwurst sandwich and we purchased another box of Italian butter cookies for later. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful as always.

    I wanted to grab a quick lunch and found this cafe/sandwich spot. It looks like a small business…read morewhich I prefer over franchise establishments. I'm always looking for new small businesses to support, so I was rooting for a positive experience. I'm very picky when it comes to how my sandwich is prepared. I hate dry sandwiches! I ordered the Turkey, Bacon and Avocado and my husband got the hot pastrami sandwich. When we received our order, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the sandwiches. After taking my first bite, I got that mmmmm good feeling throughout my body! The sandwich was juicy, just how I like it. They have some kind of secret garlic sauce that they toss in with the lettuce, which was a nice touch and delicious!!!! It taste speciality made with love. I also tried my husband's pastrami sandwich and it was good too. I ended up ordering one to go for dinner because I'm greedy. The owner and staff were so attentive and welcoming to everyone coming in and out. It was extremely clean and comfortable. I also ordered the Apple Cinnamon cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good, with the right amount of sweetness. Another plus side is, there is parking in the back which was super convenient. No more door dashing those other sandwich places, Rosie's is my go to now!

    The best place in town for a cappuccino. Truly! The place is adorable, the staff is wonderful!…read moreThe food is delicious. Their sandwiches are incredible and their coffee selection is incredible. Don't snooze on this place.
