Chico's best classic deli. From the moment you enter, it's evident that this is a special spot. The venue is in an awkward location, at the end of a rundown strip mall with zero visibility from the street. This allows for a ton of parking right out front which is actually very convenient. I'm sure this place has been here for years and years. Walk inside, and you'll find yourself in the most classic of delis out there. Red checkered tablecloths, freshly-sliced meats, an old-school beverage refrigerator, lots of seating. Their sandwiches are made with the best of ingredients, and they're made with care. The line can get long during the lunch rush but is completely worth it. Each sandwich I've gotten from here has been exceptional. One thing I've noted is that the filling will slide out of you squeeze the bread from the center, but it's never an issue if I hold the sandwich from its base. I'm getting hungry just thinking about Spiteri's. Can't wait to go back. read more

5 stars for service. I WANT to love their sandwiches and spend my money with local businesses vs. my deli sandwich staple which is Safeway. The issue I have is the bread. Dutch CRUNCH. There's absolutely nothing crunchy or crispy or anything about their dutch crunch bread. Imagine basically a dry sponge. Cool place, first went there in probably 1998, lots of parking, but come on guys - find a legit source of bread. Specifically, dutch crunch. Yours sucks. read more

Love there food. Service is great. The manager is great and great catering service too. Used them number of times for parties. Will definitely keep going back. read more

The sandwiches are good but it is not my first choice for deli style sandwiches. I just prefer a different sourdough bread style and cut of meat than what they use. But the taste and quality has always been there read more

Been coming here for over 20 years.Not what it used to be. The love is gone from the sandwichs. Cold French dip sandwich? Soggy bread before I even dipped it. Thick sliced and folded sandwich meat not thin and stacked. Cold cheese. The au jus was the best part of my meal. Potato salad tasted like pre packaged. Nothing special and way too sweet. Our other sandwich (Turkey and swiss)bread was dry and soggy at the same time. Poorly constructed with a thick unseperated onion. The paper wrappers were the only thing that made these deli sandwichs. I could have done better at home. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and a great team. Quick and friendly service! I was recommended this by a good friend who lives in the area and now I owe him. He did mention it's hidden away but it's worth finding. read more

Nice non chain local family run deli. As soon as you walk in the aroma will make you more hungry. Great selection of cold salads, breads, cheeses, cold cuts, Home made soups and a few hot dishes like, lasagna. Good selection of beverages including beer. I'll definitely be back. read more

They are always fantastic, the food and the service!! I highly recommend the Corn beef sandwich, or Pastrami are my gotos

What a great place, I walk in behind several other people. there were 3 ladies taking orders. I placed my order within 3 minutes. It was very nice to hear employees all working together, I had just left a place down the street. I got my sandwich the quality, favor, and amount of meat was awesome. As for as I am concern this place is the best in Chico watch out eddies you have a lot to learn. Spiteri's keep up the good work, I will be back! read more

Great Sandwich's, friendly helpful service, and love the outdoor seating! Highly recommended!!

This place is the bomb. Their sandwiches are delicious, they always get your order right, and their side options are endless. The only thing I don't like about this place is that they aren't open on Sunday! #firstworldproblems read more

It's been disappointing the last three times No meat Wrong order Employees don't care Great harvest has been significantly better Spiteri's used to be outstanding every time Owner must have changed or something read more

Great deli and service. Customer service was awesome and friendly. Food was incredible and I recommend the Italian Wedding soup.

Spiteri's is for people who love love love sandwiches! All kinds! This is a total local spot. Skip the chains & come get a real sandwich! The huge deli case of pickled things as well as all the delicious salads is awesome! Who could be mad with three types of potato salad?! I definitely recommend adding marinated artichoke hearts to your sandwich. Also, getting a side of the Japanese salad think mom "Chinese" chicken salad that was mostly top ramen. But mmmm it's so good! Ps they have crushed ice;) read more

Fantastic old school deli with kind workers that work quick even at the busiest hours. Delicious sandwiches that come out to you swift and perfect. It's a sandwich that you'd trust to take your daughter to prom. Pro tip: pay the extra couple bucks for the Schiacciata roll, absolutely worth it. read more

This spot has the best sandwiches in Chico! With so many places closed I was very happy to find them still open and serving great quality sandwiches. I had a New York style hot pastrami sandwich. read more

Best deli sandwich in Chico. Paired well with a Sierra Nevada IPA. Taking covid precautions, very clean and all employees were wearing masks. Big outdoor dining patio with tables spaced out for social distancing. read more

Mmmmm Spiteris is so good! I love their sandwiches and they have a dill pickle pasta salad that is delicious!

Lunch can be hard because the line is OUT THE DOOR! But, it's really good and should say something about these sandwiches. It's definitely a Chico gem. Another thing, their catering is AMAZING! I attended a wedding last year that they catered and it was the bomb.com. Sandwiches are big & the food is good! read more

Went in for the first time today. Woman taking my order was so sweet and patient with me while I figured out what I wanted. Sandwich was LOADED with meat. Dutch crunch could've been a little toastier but that's my personal preference. Otherwise, fresh yummy ingredients. Thanks to their 1/4 mini cups, I even got to try a few sides. Ice nuggets were a great surprise. Overall would definitely recommend and will be back again! read more

High quality sandwiches because this IS a real deli. This is a hole in the wall type of place and is behind the new Habit Burger in Chico. The only unfortunate thing are the hours. They close early but the quality is worth it! read more

I have been here so many times and every time i'm not disappointed the service is good the food is a 11/10 and an all around nice place would reccomend. read more

Has everything a true deli should have. The breads are very fresh and delicious. Employees know their stock and can build a great sandwich.

I wish I could give 5 stars but I had a very bad experience with some employees who were just getting off work. I was there with my 2 year old and sitting in a booth with two employees in a booth behind me constantly using the F word. And we're also talking down about stay at home moms (which I am one) and how stay at home moms don't work for a paycheck and they do. And that we just get handed money. Really?!?! Also the most stay at homes do is maybe empty the dishwasher. I have never been so upset by a restaurant. The sandwich was good, some employees were nice, but these two "girls" need to be dealt with. I had let an employee know about the situation so who knows if it was actually dealt with. read more

Great sandwiches in Chico California I highly recommend them for the working folks in the area

Best sandwiches! Great service and very friendly people waiting on you. Good job guys!

Still my favorite sandwich shop. I used to love ordering TOGO and finding a nice bench in the park where I could happily chow down on a quality sub. I recommend calling ahead because the lunchtime rush is REAL! read more

BOMB! Holy cow. I've been looking for a place like this. Tried out fast eddies and was super disappointed so I didn't have high hopes but man. My sandwich was fully loaded and so fresh tasting. Got two different sides one being the broccoli salad and the other macaroni salad and so so good. I only got a half sandy and for 4.99 it was massive and perfect. I will definitely be back. Only down fall is they aren't open on Sundays when we love a good sandwich and a hike. read more

The place where sandwich dreams come true. Consistently great every time. It's across town for me, so I don't make it often enough. Whenever family visits this is one spot we always recommend or stop by. read more

This place is good. The staff is not shy about how much they give you and they're typically very nice. I think the only thing I would have to say negatively about this place is that every time we go there, there is a very bizarre odor that is off-putting and is very unpleasant. read more

Best deli in town! Big old fashioned sandwiches and tasty salads. Definitely a family favorite.
