They make a wonderful bacon,egg and cheese with nice crisp bacon. I like mine on a bagel and those are good, chewy and very fresh.

Salt bagel and cream cheese was fantastic and the Bacon Egg and Cheese on the everything really scratched the itch.

I'm always hungry during my commute for work. A few times while southbound on the Merritt, my Waze app told me to get off at 40A, a short drive to transfer to the i95, I passed by this spot right before the Dunkin' Donuts, and never noticed. This is such a better option. The place looked trendy inside. There was self serve coffee and many different types of bagels, I even seen a jalapeño one. The worker was super cool. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a roll with pepper jack cheese and a side of hash browns. It was ready quick. I also grabbed a drink and a carrot cake dessert. My sandwich tasted fresh, my hashbrowns were nice and hot. My carrot cake was soft and moist, I wasn't a fan of the sugar frosting, thought it be more cream cheese like. I wouldn't get that again. Next time Waze makes me cross over, I'd definitely stop here again. read more

I've been a loyal customer here for a while and never had any issues -- until today. My husband and I came in for breakfast and spent $35, which included a pastry. When I opened it and took a bite, it was clearly stale. I politely brought it to the attention of a young staff member, who insisted it was fresh and actually told me I was the only customer who had ever complained about it. That response alone was disappointing, but what made it worse was asking to speak with the owner -- who refused to come speak with me directly. As a returning customer, that level of dismissiveness was genuinely disrespectful. I understand off days happen, but how you handle a concern says everything about your business. I hope management takes customer feedback more seriously in the future. read more

Stopped for a quick solo sit down lunch .. there are 7 tables that seat 2 people each.. I snagged one by the door and my food was brought to me. I got a chicken cutlet with American cheese, LTM on a wrap and it was fantastic. It came served with potato chips. They had lots of fridge drinks and self-serve coffee to choose from as well as chips and desserts. They also had some home made cream cheese, Mac salad & rice pudding in their fridge which seemed home made. The single-person bathroom was clean. read more

Pauli's Deli & Bagels - Chicken cutlet wrap with LTM onions & American cheese.. delicious ! - Delis Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

The freshest bagels and one of the few bagels good enough to eat with nothing on it. The Everything Egg Bagel is my personal favorite. read more

Customer service is horrible. Would not serve 40 min before closing, and it was just for a simple sandwich not even on the grill! What kind of business does this? read more

Great first experience coming here! I was looking for an alternative to my regular spot LizSue Bagels. But their hours recently changed in Norwalk and they weren't open. So I came here hoping to get a delicious bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel. I most certainly did and was not disappointed. Decent sized restaurant inside, it was empty because they were closing in an hour. The staff was super friendly and helpful since it was my first time. I checked they didn't have many bagels left because they were closing soon, which wasn't their fault. I actually got an everything egg bagel. Which I had never had before. I got it with bacon egg and cheese on it. I also, picked up a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese and a few drinks. Everything was perfect cooked, bacon was extra good and delicious. I highly recommend coming here for your breakfast and lunch needs. I will be back!! read more

Great customer service , fresh food , cozy environment , one of my favorite places to go for breakfast. Although they never put mayo on my sandwich everytime I order , everything else makes up for it . I hope if your in Norwalk passing through or on the way to work , there options will satisfy your hunger everytime ! I always get a bacon egg n cheese on an egg bagel toasted with mayo and a large ice coffee , and there's baked goods are always fresh and soft. read more

I don't know what has happened in Paulis but my husband who is a regular customer has gotten sick twice in the past two weeks. One from an omelette and one from a rice and chicken bowl. I think the health department has to come check out this place it's terrible. read more

Very good bagels. Fresh and tasty. The service was quick. Also ordered a fruit salad. That was also good. I used to bake bagels for fourteen years I wish places sold hot bagels still. read more

Purchased four different kinds of sandwiches here for my family. What a great place! Quick and friendly service, and the sandwiches were all amazing. The chicken cutlets are fresher than usual. The hot pastrami bread was crisp and buttery. Pulled pork abundant and delicious. Grilled chicken warm, soft and very flavorful. And chips with every sandwich! read more

The service was quick accurate and the prices were fair. The bagels were money. Who doesn't love Pauli?

Very good breakfast options..the food it's fresh and delicious great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Still my favorite place for a quick To-Go breakfast or lunch. The people are friendly, the parking is easy and the prices are very reasonable. For Breakfast, I often get an egg sandwich on a hard roll but the bagels are wonderful too. I usually have to bring a half dozen back to the house for everyone. Guilty Pleasure: I can't resist the crumb coffee cake at the check-out counter. For Lunch, I've had different sandwiches that have all been good but my favorite is their Chicken Parmesan. It's delicious and I usually have enough left over for dinner. (or a mid afternoon snack- ha) I always get my food To-go. The deli is very small and there is always a crowd hovering over the tables waiting on their orders. It really wouldn't be pleasant to eat here. read more

I really love their egg sandwiches. I haven't tried a bagel yet (lol) bc I'm partial to rolls but all variations of my egg sandwich have been delicious. I've tried some of their cookies too which are also excellent. There is a usually line so I recommend ordering ahead if you are in a rush. read more

Pauli's Deli looks like a classic deli on the inside- big menu boards, bagels on display, and seating inside. I ordered a BEC on a roll with hash browns on it. It was really tasty! The iced coffee was good too. Would recommend :) read more

Pre-COVID, this review would be closer to a 4. Their food is great, and their service is even better. The staff is aways happy to take orders over the phone and they don't skimp out on their breakfast sandwiches ::looking at you deli on East Ave:: It's a 1 because of management. The place isn't that big and they've kept the same amount of tables. THEY DO NOT REQUIRE MASKS IN THIS TIGHT SPACE. I won't get political here, but the non-mask wearers tend to think this is some government conspiracy (wonder where they got that crazy idea from...). I went in recently and there were non-mask wearers in line and at a table. Obviously the people eating can't eat with masks, but the others should've been required to wear them. They were leaning into people to have discussions and disrespectful of the people who were wearing masks trying to keep their distance (not just me). Happy to update this review if/when management makes some adjustments. Sad to see a deli I like so much, that's been around for so long, have such a disregard for its public and community. read more

Follow @fairfieldfooddude for all things food Pauli's Deli, one of Norwalk's Greek staples, has opened a location on Post Road East in Westport, CT, right next to Five Guys. With the abundance of deli options in the area (Calise's, Gaetano's, Fortuna's, Fire House, etc) it can be rather easy to stick with your everyday "go-to's", but Pauli's is definitely worth checking out. If you are familiar with the Norwalk location then you know exactly what you are getting here. Pauli's offers an array of deli classics as well as signature breakfast and lunch sandwiches. My personal favorite is the grilled chicken with fresh mozzarella, pesto, tomato, and basil. The sandwiches are rather large, so the high prices are somewhat justified compared to other delis'd in town. The only other criticism, which is not their fault, is the parking lot can be tricky and down right annoying at times during peak hours. Pauli's Deli & Bagels is opened from 6AM to 4PM Mon-Friday, with earlier closing hours on weekends. Delivery is available through Grubhub. read more

This place does some crazy business! Busy busy all the time which says a lot. Breakfast? Sure! Every kind of bagle, variety of omlets, french toast, & any kind of egg sandwiches. Lunch? Got that too. Every possible combination of sandwich, wrap & grinder with vegetarian options or Boar's Head meats & cheeses & sandwiches come w chips. Hot & cold. Ample size too. Bagles are not the best in the area but good. And many traditional & creative schemers too. Fairly fast order system for solid to go option. Smaller interior w a dozen seats. Lots of retail like sweets, drinks, chips etc too. Ample parking. read more

Look this place is always busy so they're doing something right. However, I feel this place has gone down since it was run by a Eastern European couple. I have had my order messed 3 times in a row finally called to complained. Not going back, other places in the area. read more

Solid spot for a good sandwich and bagels. Hhhhbhhhhhhbhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhghhhhhhhhhhh

$4.00 for a bagel with cream cheese. Nope, Never again. Thankfully, I only ordered 1 instead of more.

I went here for lunch and it was great! They have gluten free options which is awesome! I got a tuna melt and it was delicious read more

Do not order over the phone! This is the THIRD time this month that I've placed a pick-up order over the phone and when I showed up they did not have my order! I had to then place the order again (since they did not even have a record of my order) and wait 10 minutes for my food to be made! Terrible service! Will not be returning in the future. It's a shame, because their sandwiches are good quality. read more

Amazing. Visiting from Arizona and my best friends live here and recommended this place. Amazing. And the service is pristine

I sent 3 friends to Pauli's for breakfast when they were passing through CT. Yesterday she told me that their breakfast was great and just as importantly was how impressed she was with the cleanliness, especially during peak breakfast hours. Happy they were so pleased. read more

Got a sausage / egg and cheese wrap --- when he called it out at the register he said sausage egg cheese wrap on wheat and I said no -- no wheat --- he asked his brother the cook and he said oh yeah it's white --- needless to say drive 15 minutes away and go to eat it and it's wheat --- never again read more

That honestly was one of the worst bagels I have had in a long time. First of all there were almost no bagels left. The bagel I got was hard (stale) and the butter had this weird aftertaste. Either the butter was bad or they used a knife from the butter on something else. I will not be returning. The only redeeming quality was the staff was very pleasant. read more

Great authentic ny bagels. Plenty of options for everyone and delicious! Been here twice when leaving the city and never disappointed

I didn't think I was going to like this spot as much as I did. We pulled off, ravenous, only an hour into our road trip. The first deli we went to was closed for business, so this was the next spot on the main road that I was confident was open. It was about 3pm and the place was deserted, not even a bagel in site. No bueno for a bagel store. I however spotted their 'diet dishes' and went for it. Grilled chicken with broccoli and avocado. It took a few more minutes than expected, and I have to say I was getting ready for more disappointment. The place wasn't looking so clean, which wasn't making me feel that confident.... did Yelp lead me astray? The answer: no. The food was good. It was seriously close to a lb of grilled chicken wonderfully seasoned with broccoli and some slightly over-ripe avocado. It ended up being more than enough for me, so very easily shareable. As a stop off place from the highway, it's definitely a solid. Grab a salad, sandwich, bagel or light meal and be on your way. read more

I'm going to keep this review simple and to the point. Pauli's is consistently delicious. Breakfast and lunch items are all phenomenal. Staff is very nice, they're always stocked up on items, great customer base, all around great place. Love it. read more

Best Deli around!!...Bagels are always fresh and delicious, NY style, the sandwiches are generous portions filled with top quality ingredients. The owner prides himself in finding only the best of the best ingredients to make everything on his menu!! Can't wait to try his new Westport location.. I've heard great things!! read more

I'm not quite sure what to make of this place. On the one hand, they've got like -- it seems -- an endless supply of various self-serve coffee that is just terrific. Some of the best selection around. And a deep menu of choices for all who want it. So far, very good. And yet, when you come to a bagel place, you want YOUR type of bagel. And i'm sure to some, this fluffier -- almost kaiser roll like -- bagel is their thing. To me, it was a little too much bread/filling. A little too soft around the edges. But, that said, they do make a mean BEC sandwich and the timing of it was pretty good. So, to each their own I say. It may not be my favorite bagel place, BUT it's a very solid place with awesome coffee choices to make up for it. A win in my book. read more

Terrible customer service I called ahead like I usually do for a morning pick up was on hold for about 5 mins. I get it they're busy which is fine, then owner gets on the phone and proceeds to take my order and says "there's a line out the door anything you want to order you can come in for that" and hangs up on me they will never get another dime from me. read more

This is a hard review to write because I love Pauli's. I'm giving this rating one star because I was in over the weekend -- my first visit in months while we've all been sheltering in place as a result of the global pandemic -- and when I walked in I was stunned to see that they had no social distancing practices in place. There were customers in the store without masks (including a Norwalk police officer), and they hadn't made any changes at all to the flow of customers to ensure people could safely be in the store (I had several people ask me to move because I was blocking the self serve coffee carafes while standing in line to check out). I paid for my breakfast...then went home and threw it out. If they can't be bothered to follow the guidelines established by the state of CT to keep their employees and their customers safe, I can't trust that my food is safe to eat. Breaks my heart to say that, but it's how I feel. read more

Just started a new job in the area so I decided to check out some of the local breakfast joints. I really wasn't impressed with Domenicks so I gave Pauli's a go. I'm SO glad I did. For just a bit over $5 I ordered this massive western omelette on an onion bagel. Super tasty! I enjoyed every bit of it. The price, the food, the speed. 5 stars in my book! I'll drive the extra couple miles to go here. read more

Love Pauli's! First off, they are the nicest people--and the spot, while tight inside, is super cute. Some tables to chill, and a lot of coffee to chose from. They have a TON of bagel selections, and from what non-Celiacs have told me, the bagels are good. For me--they do gluten free right! They have a separate toaster and prep area, for gluten free foods. Service is super quick. Note: they are always busy and you will always see a police officer or firefighter(thank you for your service guys!) in there--it's one of their food spots. read more

Excellent Fresh food! Best hot pastrami on rye I've ever had in Connecticut. Lots of healthy choices too, chicken cutlet with wild rice and a choice of fresh vegetables looked great. I'll definitely be back! read more

Waking up in CT hungry for an everything bagel I took to my Yelp app. 25 reviews is a lot for this area especially a bagel place I figured it must be checked out. I got my everything and he got a turkey and egg white wrap. I asked for my bagel to be lite....I hate bagels that are even a little bit burnt. They brought the food right to our table. The owner asked when we paid if my bagel was lite. I said yes and informed him that everything was delish and he would be getting a 5 star yelp review. Then he gave us 4 free bagels to say thanks! Love it here and most certainly will be back. read more
