The wife and I finally made it to Zanti's Deli, a place we've been wanting to try for a few months,…read moreespecially since I saw photos of their pastrami, my favorite meat. I love me some reuben, corned beef or pastrami but on the board today they had pastrami and grilled onions on rye so I decided to give it a try, substituting french roll for the rye, choosing spicy mustard over their white sauce. Karla is an admittedly very picky eater, choosing a simple ham and cheddar on sour dough. The restaurant is fairly small, maybe three or four small tables, but we arrived mid afternoon and quickly found an empty table. Ambiance is best described as "we encourage take-out". Owner Jami was at the counter and she is truly awesome; kind, patient, friendly, the whole nine yards. Let there be no doubt the pastrami was the star of the show. Holy cow it was so very tender and juicy AND flavorful, some of the best pastrami I've ever had. I was initially disappointed that it wasn't sliced deli thin like one of my favorites, Carl's Deli, but my disappointment faded immediately upon first bite. Wow! This may be my new favorite pastrami in the metro. Thick cut was definitely the right move for this house made pastrami. Jami threw in a small cup of their white sauce to try and I'm so glad she did. If you like a mild but flavorful horseradish sauce, you won't be disappointed by their white sauce. Karla really enjoyed the ham and cheese. The ham was so plentiful, we took some off of the sandwich and brought it home with us to make another sandwich out of. She would have much preferred Texas toast over the sourdough but she said the sandwich was nonetheless tasty with flavorful ham. Both sandwiches came with a side of pasta salad. Full disclosure, I'm not a cold pasta salad fan but it was tasty. Karla absolutely loved the pasta salad with its sweet and slightly tangy dressing. Overall, a super wonderful experience. We plan to return soon to try other things on the menu but I've gotta be honest. It's going to be tough for me to skip the pastrami.

Not a lot of menu items, but they absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Pete with the recommendation of Mike. Man I must say that was an amazing sandwich and it was just how I like it. Perfect amount of cheese and meat. The sauce wasn't dripping everywhere but just enough. Cindy helped ring us up and she was so sweet. We chatted and she showed us what they have besides sandwiches and even gifted us a loaf of bread. Wish I didn't live so far but I will definitely come back if in the area and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great sandwich.

Amighetti's scratches that itch and then some. I've only ever ordered delivery from this location so far, but every time it's been perfect. This is a sandwich for serious sandwich-eaters: the Special, packed with meats, plenty of (free) toppings, the right amount of vinegary dressing, and delivered with care. I added a bottle of local root beer to my order and it came very thoughtfully packed in a protective cardboard box. My only criticism is the cole slaw comes in such a tiny container -- but it's likely what you'd expect if you were picking up your work of art from the counter in a basket. Very recommended.

He leans in and says, "I can put one together for you... just trust me." And listen... that was the moment I decided to surrender control and embark on a culinary adventure. As he started listing what he had in mind, my skepticism quickly turned into straight-up anticipation. It already sounded incredible--but I HAD to chime in and add tomatoes and banana peppers (because balance, obviously). What I received for $13 was not just a wrap. It was a masterpiece. This thing was PACKED--like, no-such-thing-as-skimping levels of juicy, flavorful chicken. Every bite hit. Every ingredient showed up. No fillers, no regrets. Here's the real kicker: I ate half yesterday... and the other half today? Still. Fresh. Still. Delicious. Still. Worth it. Moral of the story: Sometimes the best thing on the menu... isn't on the menu. Big Belly Deli, I see you. And next time, I'm coming back ready to co-create another masterpiece
