    Happy Italian (cross section)
    Joe W.

    Saw the sign on the corner in Old Town, checked out their website and decided to give them a try. Who doesn't like a good sandwich? This sandwich was really good! Typical meats for an 'Italian' sandwich (I love mortadella), but not your typical veggies, which I liked for a change. No lettuce and tomato, but arugula and roasted red peppers instead. That was/is a nice switch! When trying a new place I will typically get something on the menu with no alterations so I can judge how the food is, as prepared, as I can always tweak it later. Although I did add onion to this. I found this sandwich to be excellent with a nice amount of meat and perfect blend of veggies and sauce. Will definitely go there again!

    These sandwiches are soooo good. The Happy Italian is the BEST. Such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere too. Tons of beverage options. The owners are a local family as well Can't wait to go back.

    A mom and pop shop that my husband and I are happy to support! There's outdoor seating and the customer service is awesome! I ordered the Sunny Disposition panini on sourdough and it was toasted to perfection, the pesto sauce really makes this sandwich. Would 100% recommend.

    Clean & neat front counter - menu board

    Stopped at Old Town's newest food stop and it did not disappoint! I love chicken salad so opted to try their special of the day....cilantro lime chicken salad in seed bread. So good!! Great mom and pop shop worth a visit. And a great and affordable kid menu too!! Open Monday-Saturday 11am-5:30p

    Great new deli in old town Temecula. Delicious fresh sandwiches with a twist. I'm so excited to have found this little family owned gem. They also make theirs own Homemade mustard and pickles

    Happy Belly Deli has a great menu!

    Excellent sandwiches, super friendly staff. Found this place while golfing in Temecula and loved everything about it. It was super clean, the sandwiches were huge and the owner Ronny is a great guy and made us feel at home which is great especially during these crazy times. I pay attention to how restaurants treat people and handle business and food preparation and Happy Belly Deli and their staff was outstanding! I highly recommend it.

    Decided to try this place because I read a good review on Temecula talk. This place didn't disappoint. A super friendly man greeted my husband and I at the door and took our order. We decided on the simple Sammy and the happy belly. Both our sandwiches were great! The tiny bean sample on the side was delicious as well. We will definitely be back.

I grew…read moreup in Santa Monica and was used to Bay Cities Deli and the Broadway Deli sandwich shops with their Boars Head deli meats. I hadn't been able to find another sandwich shop like those since I moved to Riverside County 5 years ago. Well, I think I've found their replacement! The Dutch Sandwich Shop was amazing! I ordered the Capital! with London Broil Roast Beef and First Cut Pastrami Brisket on Dutch Crunch and all the fixings including Tomato, Lettuce, Cucumber, Pickles, Black Olives, Bell Pepper, Red Onions, Mustard & mayo, Banana peppers and Jalapeno and I also got it "Hella Saucy!" That is their freshly made, homemade, mouthwatering, full of taste & flavor Garlic/Basil based sauce. This sandwich was delicious! I shared it with a friend and she loved it as well! Good job Dutch Sandwich Shop! I'll be stopping by again soon to try all the other sandwiches on the menu! By the way, I also picked up a Pastrami sandwich but haven't tried it yet because I'm still full the from the other sandwich I had for lunch! Great deal too! Only $16.99 and its humongous! Don't spend the same amount of money at Subway and get that cheap, rubber mat additive bread and fake processed meats. Invest in the real deal and get yourself a Dutch Sandwich! You won't regret it!

    First off, I don't often write Yelp reviews. Not for every good experience, and not even for bad…read moreones because I figure everyone can have an off day. But this place? Spectacular! This place got me to write a review. [Quick and dirty review: These are the best sandwiches I've ever had. Period.] Benny's was closed midday, so I found myself at Dutch Sandwich Shop near the Temecula mall. I was greeted by Abdul, the owner, who immediately made me feel welcome in his small and cozy shop. I could tell he was genuinely excited to tell me about his sandwiches, walk me through his top recommendations, and share the story behind the business. Being from the Bay Area, he missed Dutch Crunch sandwiches and couldn't find them anywhere in Southern California, so he brought them here himself along with the Bay Area vibe to his shop. What really stood out was the quality. They use Boar's Head meats and quality ingredients from the cheeses to the oil. You can taste the difference. I ordered the Hollywood, and honestly, it was so good that I didn't even want to finish it. Not because I was full, but because I wanted to bring the other half home for my wife to try, which took some serious self-control. The sandwich was incredible, the bread was perfect, and the passion Abdul has for what he's building comes through in every bite. Abdul has created something special here. If you're anywhere near Temecula and love sandwiches, do yourself a favor and stop by.

The bread for my sandwich...ugh...you don't even know and can't imagine the perfection it was. I tasted my husband's sandwich and I'm still not sure if his was better or not, they were both SOOOO good. Don't get me started on the chocolate chip cookie. The plan was to break off a bite and give the remaining cookie to my kid after school. That was my wholesome, calorie-conscious thought before that 1st bite. I broke off a piece and you know what...Screw 'dem kids! That cookie was all mine! I can't wait to go back! GiGi, the owner, was awesome, fun, and personable. I love the mom-and-pop shop vibe with an artisan flare. Ohhh...speaking of "artisan", they have more than just sandwiches. I didn't try the pizza, but just looking at the unique topping options, I know it won't be long before I do!

On a Friday lunch rush (11:30am), there were quite a bit of people already sitting and eating. I ordered the hatch chile honey chicken sandwich ($16.32 after tax). Holy smokes, it was delicious! The baked pretzel bun was unlike any I've had before. Buttery and pillowy on the inside and a crisp exterior. The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the chili honey, which was perfectly balanced without being too sweet or too spicy. The grilled onions added extra sweetness and richness that contrasted nicely with the fresh tomato, avocado, and lettuce. Together, it made the perfect sandwich! Definitely a spot worth checking out. The food tasted high quality, and I'll absolutely stop by again when I'm back in town.
