I've been wanting to try this place. Today was the day! I got the Vera. It was flavorful and had melty cheesy goodness. I should have gotten the foot long! I liked the potato salad, dill heavy, so heads up. I will say it was more of a mash. The tofu egg salad is really good with chips. Everything is reasonably priced! I will be back! Parking lot is shared, and small. There is side street parking. They also share space with udder delights, an ice cream shop. Seating is spaced well and size friendly. read more

Providence Vegan Deli - Vera - Delis Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Massive sandwich for $15. I got the not a Reuben and it had to be 16 inches long. I really liked the flavor of their Seitan meat, and it wasn't dry. The bread was fantastic - it was an excellent crusty roll. However, the sandwich tasted off. I like sauerkraut and mustard so maybe it was the vegan cheese sauce that sort of ruined the flavor and prevented it from being an amazing sandwich. It looked gray and gross so this was probably it. Garden Grille right up the road still has the best Reuben-type sandwich I've ever had. I know PVDeli's isn't a typical Reuben sandwich because there's no rye bread, but they should take notes from what Garden Grille does. There's is out of this world! The staff there was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Providence Vegan Deli - Delis Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Providence Vegan Deli is a spot that pleasantly surprised me! I'm not vegan, but I do enjoy and appreciate good and creative vegan food. I ordered The Big Toona sandwich, and I loved it! I got the smaller size (which was still massive), and I was so impressive with the delicious flavors and textures. The "Toona" was a chickpea salad, and it was so satiating. The interior of the restaurant was also very cute and clean with plenty of seating. The worker who took our order was playing a Twenty One Pilots radio, so that was already a strong start to our visit! She was very kind and patient as we decided which sandwiches to get. I would highly recommend Providence Vegan to Deli to anyone, regardless of dietary needs. And this would be a perfect spot to take your vegan or vegetarian friends! read more

We were planning to get some ice cream from Like No Udder, and when we saw that they shared their space with Providence Vegan Deli, it made our dinner choice really easy. They make their seitan meats in-house, and the portions are large, so we decided to share a few items. My kid immediately zeroed in on the massive meatballs made from seitan, tofu, and veggies. The meatball was too big for him to eat the whole thing, so we finished it for breakfast, and it was really well-seasoned and just as good the second day. The potato salad was so creamy and tasty, one of my favorite things we got. We shared two of the smaller size of the sandwiches - the Frank (the Italian grinder) and the Trio (corned beef, turkey, pepperoni, and cheese). Both sandwiches were good, completely packed with ingredients, but the Italian was the clear winner. Would 100% get that again. Great place to go for vegan alternatives to classic deli sandwiches. read more

My mom and I stopped here after driving to RI from NY. The "small" sandwich I got of toona and my mom of egg salad were decently sized and came with a side of chips. We both thought the flavor was really good and you can tell it's made in house not premade mock meat or egg which is always fun. I would definitely recommend going back especially because the guy behind the counter was really nice about the fact we showed up right as they were closing. There was a decent amount of seats but it was busy at the ice cream place that is located in the same building. They also had a clean all gender restroom. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Came back two days in a row. First I got the Grinder, then the next day I got the Trio. Both were good but I enjoyed the Grinder the best. The sandwiches were a little dry at first but all of the moisture was located near the crease of the bun. If I had it my way I would distribute the dressing more evenly throughout the sandwich so that each bite is more balanced. Service was curt but the cashier was very knowledgeable. Prices for the sandwiches are good for a vegan meal and the sandwich came with chips. I will return. read more

Took my 10 year old roommate to Providence Vegan Deli today as an attempt to use all my RI FOOD FIGHTS Sandwich coupons. The place shares its space with Like No Udder, a vegan ice cream shop. It was bright and clean but also a bit cramped for space. Our cashier was lovely, showing us the options and giving us plenty of time to sort out what we wanted. We decided to take it to go since the place was pretty full and we don't mind eating in a car We got the Vera and The Frank. The Vera was their version of a meatball sub, and the Frank was their Italian grinder. Both were really tasty. The Vera was surprisingly good. While the texture was soft for a meatball, it was seasoned in a way that you got the classic red sauce Italian taste. The sauce was delicious, and the VioLife provolone melted into this creamy like sauce that was a lovely accompaniment to the sandwich. The roommate had the Frank and he loved it! He rated it a 9 out of 10. His only complaint is he wished it had more "meat" and less of the fresh veggies. It was really packed with shredded lettuce so I understand how that can overwhelm the sandwich. He did an elite move and added a bag of Cape Cod chips to the sandwich. He ate about half, so I look forward to trying the leftovers later I like going out for vegan even though I don't ascribe to the diet/lifestyle because I am often surprised and delighted by what people are creating out of plants out there. This place is no exception. Other selections on the menu included buffalo chicken, egg salad, and even a rueben. All meatless, of course. Enough interesting options that I wouldn't mind coming back and I won't hesitate to recommend this spot for my vegan/vegetarian friends. read more

One of the stops on our RI food fights best sandwich.. I have to say I was impressed. This place was good, and no, not just "good for a vegan deli", it was good as far as sandwich shops go in general! I ordered the firestorm which had Ethiopian spiced seitan. It was very flavorful and those warm spices are right up my alley. Think spices like cumin, allspice, clove, nutmeg etc. The 6" sandwich was PACKED with the seitan, the vegan cheese and had a healthy helping of shredded lettuce. Despite all it's filling, it maintained a good moisture and mouthfeel with the mayo they used here. All in all, this was a good level of spice. Not overwhelming to me and I'm not exactly a mad-chili-head but I can get on with some spice. The portion was fantastic and the folks running the joint were super friendly (and had twenty one pilots on loop so bonus points for that). Here is the description for my sandwich: "House made hot and spicy Ethiopian spiced seitan, The Stuff house made hot mayo, violife cheddar cheese, jalapeños, lettuce and tomato on a soft grinder roll." Overall, I loved it. I have to admit it's difficult to get past the processed flavor of the vegan violife cheese, this sandwich would have been a 10/10 with some real cheddar but, it's a vegan sandwich shop after all. Would definitely see myself back here especially if I were with a crowd that had some dietary restrictions. Thanks Providence Vegan Deli! read more

3.5 stars. I got the vegan Reuben add jalapeños, and it was fine. The employees were nice and I liked that they share a space with a vegan ice cream shop, but the sandwich just wasn't anything to write home about. If I came back, I'd order a different sandwich! I did really like the seitan, though, but it didn't taste like corned beef. I wish it would've had thousand island instead of mustard (and I love mustard)! read more

Finally got to try this place after seeing their recipes and sandwiches on TikTok. Did not disappoint! Ordered the Frank which had fresh ingredients, and the seitan was well seasoned.

I'm a longtime vegetarian who is always hankering for a good sandwich, and I feel like I hit the jackpot with Providence Vegan Deli. I got the Toona and it was huge! It needed a little extra pepper, but it was pretty solid. It came with a bag of Cape Cod chips and I also ordered a side of sweet and spicy potato hash that was delicious. The service was prompt and it's a cool shop with nice vibes. I'll definitely be back here in the future. read more

Providence Vegan Deli - Toona sub - Delis Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

No frills strip-mall type deli but make it all vegan? Count me in! I ordered the most popular sandwich on the menu - "Frank, the Italian" which is a classic Italian grinder/hoagie/sub with housemade seitan (pepperoni, ham, and Italian style) with Violife provolone, banana peppers, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and Italian dressing. The large/full size is absolutely massive and far more than I was capable of eating so I'd definitely go with the 6" next time if you are just a standard level of hungry. Very impressed with the seitan made in-house and the contrast of textures on fluffy bread. I also tried the chick'n salad but the chick'n was too dense/chewy for my liking so I think I'd go with the mac or potato salad next time. I arrived right as the shop was opening up at noon and there was already a decent line to order - I'm so pleased to see how popular this place is! They made all the orders quickly and I was enjoying my sandwich in no time. Awesome spot! read more

Providence Vegan Deli - The "Frank" and the chick'n salad - Delis Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The yummiest vegan deli on the east side from the owner of Like no Udder (which now shares a space). Plenty of parking in both a lot and on the street. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Menu is smallish to start, but plenty of options. I ordered the cannonball, frank the Italian, and firestorm. So delicious! Homemade seitan daily. Fresh bread too. I was told the potato salad sells out daily, so I got a side of that. You do get a bag of Utz chips with each sandwich. So nice! Hours are limited, so do check the website or social channels. Cannot wait to see this place flourish. Welcome to Hope Street! read more

Providence Vegan Deli is a no-frills old school style deli with fresh, simple ingredients and punk undertones (but not in an annoying way). They share a space with Like No Udder (vegan ice cream) and serve up nostalgic deli sandwiches overflowing with homemade seitan and fixings on fresh Italian rolls. They also offer some to-go items such as pepperoni and egg salad (all vegan). I wish they had a few more bread options like whole grain or rye. All in all, super glad they exist. read more

Delicious vegan friendly subs and sides. I would come here quite often if I didn't live so far away. Sometimes vegan seitan can be overly salty and the ham is very mild tasting and goes really well with the toppings. The 12' is enormous and comes with a side of chips. The potato salad was delicious as well. Although independently owned, they are co-located in the same space with Like No Udder, another amazing vegan business. Nice parking lot and street parking and located less than 4 miles south of the MA border. read more

Great spot if you're looking for a fully vegan menu of some of your deli favorites that you can't readily get anywhere else. Tucked in a small row of businesses, this small place delivers sandwiches that could feed an army. We were lucky to go on Saturday and ordered the Vera. Spicy meatballs with marinara sauce...exactly what I was craving! Their Big Toona was also delicious! read more

I've had the vegan egg salad and chicken salad so far and I intend to try the other gluten-free, vegan options. The food is absolutely magic! It is so good and it has you craving it for the next day, which is very possible because the portions are WONDERFUL! I always have enough for 2-3 more servings! The atmosphere and service is very welcoming and the punk-emo music vibe has me feeling like home. It's attached to the Like No Udder vegan ice cream shop which also has gluten free options. It is a MUST for dessert! I HIGHLY recommend PVD! Once you go, you will want more! The prices are also very reasonable! read more

I just purchased my 10th sandwich from here and I have to say the place is great. The sandwiches are made to order and great care is taken with each one. Not only are they extremely tasty, but the portions are huge. My favorite is the egg salad and my stepdaughter loves the sham and cheese. We tried the Curly Fig this weekend and it was also outstanding. I also love their macaroni salad, buffalo chicken dip and olive medley. Great place, nice people and great food! read more

So incredibly delicious and 100% Vegan! What a beautiful place to sit and eat! I used to work in an Italian Deli and make grinders and these sandwiches are big just like that!

It shares a space with Like No Udder a vegan ice cream place! I just found my second home. Thank you PVDeli! read more

My only gripe is that I live several hours away, but we'll come back just to visit you and Like No Udder! read more

My advice for the cold cut subs would be to make sure your choice has mayonnaise and cheese. The seitan is a bit mealy. I had the Reuben and didn't care for it because the sourness (sauerkraut & mustard) didn't do anything to cut the mealiness. Then I had the Frank Italian and loved it because the cheese and mayo balanced everything out. Haven't tried the soy curl sandwiches yet, they sound good. read more
