    I could probably eat 3-5 of these.

    An above-average sandwich shop in Chico. It's hidden away, behind Kathy's Sew & Vac, but worth the extra effort to check it out. Restaurant's interior has a rustic look. And it has a refrigerator section in back where you can choose from a variety of drinks. The sandwiches offered are tasty and fresh. You can customize your sandwich to your liking. They also offer soups, and, if I'm not mistaken, desserts. Service is fine - employees are ready to serve you and make your experience here worthwhile. Catering is available. I know because my work ordered from them. We got a wide array of delicious sandwiches.

    This place was great. Catered a birthday party for us. I gave them the number of people and they helped work out how much food I should get. Very nice. Tasted good and they helped put it in my car

    We were pleasantly surprised when we came in and saw the interior. This little sandwich shop/delicatessen is tucked away in a back location and from the outside doesn't necessarily looking promising but is a delightful hidden gem. We ordered the BYOS (build your own sandwich) both roast beef, one with a sourdough roll and one with the sourdough bread. We also ordered a side of the macaroni salad and a pickles. Everything was delicious.

    New York Style Pastrami (Wednesday only)

    certain places for certain things... at Spiteri's Deli? everything they make is outstanding -- but what MUST you order? on Wednesday's only, the "New York" Pastrami. again, it must be Wednesday, and you must say "New York Pastrami" -- the difference between their regular daily pastrami and the special is like the difference between Walmart and Nordstrom's. okay, maybe not quite that drastic, BUT! my pro tip: get the full sized sandwich on a French roll, everything on it but hold the onions, ask for Swiss cheese. I asked for au jus because I always like eating any pastrami sandwich "beef dip style" and dunking every bite -- Spiteri's only has au jus on Thursdays and Fridays, however, I'm very happy to say that the NY Style Pastrami did not need it, it was perfect as it is, savory and juicy... what I may do next time? add some Thousand Island (or Russian) dressing, not sure which one they offer. Spiteri's continues to be an amazing Chico icon... much like The Donut Nook across the street from them, but that's a different review!

    Sourdough roll with roasted turkey and swiss!

    First-time trying this deli and was not disappointed. The customer service was great and the sandwich was great! Will definitely be adding this shop to the rotation. My only recommendation would be to potentially toast the bread but other than that it was good.

    Has been one of my favorite places in Chico since moving here 5 years ago. The quality is always amazing and service is great and the workers are so friendly. The pesto pasta is 12/10

    Wow. I read the Yelp scores and had to come visit for myself. My l had a Corner Beef and I had Turkey on a fresh Dutch Roll. Incredible wild rice soup. This place is excpetional. A hidden gem. Locally owned.

    Hi, I'm back! I felt the need to update this review since my last one was over 3 years ago. Since then, I've moved out of chico, and even California and now live in NYC. (The deli capital of the USA) but still..... a sandwich from here is unmatched. It's always my first stop whenever I'm back in the area. I can't express into words how happy I am when I get the chance to come back. A sandwich from Spiteri's is what I crave the most when I'm out of state. I really do love this place so much, and I hope it's always here and never changes.

    This is what was in my sandwich, brown Avacado, real appetizing... this place is disgusting, spend your money somewhere else

    See all

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