    Chicken Pesto
    Cat S.

    Are you kidding me? I am sandwich Obsessed and Uncle Paulie is now my Daddy. Insanely delicious sandwiches. The bread is the winner. Crispy on the outside. Soft and pillowy inside. I got 2 cold & 1 hot sandwich to bring back to the South Bay. - Chicken Pesto. The chicken was breaded perfectly. Not too much. The pesto was fantastic. Again, not too much. The mozzarella, I am guessing, was made in house because it was to die for fresh and delicious. This may be my favorite sandwich EVER. -The Joey. (For the hubby) I took a quick bite before he immediately devoured it. Everything tastes so unbelievably fresh. Just the right amount of ingredients, so you can taste everything. -Chicken Parm. My son inhaled it before I could try a bite, but he said it was incredible and could not stop eating it. Wow! The deli is small (as most deli's are). But you can eat inside and a few small tables outside. They have two refrigerators for fresh lemonades and teas made in house as well as your standard canned beverages. And one for deli meat, fresh olives and house made cold pastas. They also sell house made Italian ice and random Italian goods. James at the counter was super friendly, patient and helpful in my sandwich decisions. Superior hospitality. Cannot wait to go back to try more.

    I love a good sandwich, and Uncle Paulie's absolutely delivers. Parking is limited and a bit of a pain, but it's worth dealing with. They have over 30 different sandwiches. I also noticed that they serve breakfast all day. I was there for a sandwich, and I went with my go-to: the Italian. I originally planned to take it to go, but the décor changed my mind. Someone clearly put real thought into the space--warm, vintage, and packed with memorabilia that gives the place personality. I stayed. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the sandwich came out quickly. When I unwrapped it, the first thing that stood out was the meat-to-bread ratio--finally, a sandwich that isn't all bread and lettuce. Plenty of meat and cheese, and the bread was the star: chewy, fresh, and exactly what I wanted. Bottom line: great sandwich, great vibe, and I'm glad I stopped in.

    Good service but I hated the sandwich. I ordered the uncle and the cashier said it would be spicy but all i tasted was vinegar. The roll was crunchy on top and soggy on the bottom. Lettuce was ice cold. One of the worst sandwiches I've ever had. Wasted $20

    Found this place on Yelp, and was not disappointed. The staff and the service was great. The staff was super friendly, and you could tell they really appreciated you being a customer. The food. We ordered The Uncle (cold sandwich) which was fantastic with some super fresh ingredients on it. It was a great Italian sandwich. $19.50 We ordered house made Lemonade $4.50 We ordered the house made Iced Tea $4.50 We ordered fresh cold regular Mac Salad $4.00 - Everything was so good. We ate our food inside. The ambiance was Italian / New York Italian Deli Sandwich shop vibes. Great. This place fixed my sandwich craving immediately. Will 100% be coming back for more great food.

    Let's start with the positive: Good service , friendly person at counter with positive attitude. Sandwiches were tasty and the bread was good. Enjoyed the cliche Italian deli decorations. The negative; It took 45 minutes to get our food ! The person at the counter apologized and offered us something for free due to the wait. When my son walked up to order a cookie, we were charged $22.00 for two chocolate chip cookies. Yikes

    Egg & Cheese

    My boyfriend and I stopped by Uncle Paulie's for lunch but were totally in the mood for breakfast sandwiches. I went with the classic Egg & Cheese, and he got the Sausage, Egg & Cheese -- both hit the spot! ... The staff were super kind, and the place was clean and well-organized Definitely recommend for a cozy breakfast bite -- and I'm already eyeing their regular sandwiches for next time

    Paulie's Beef and Pepps
    Flora L.

    Was in the area recently and decided to check out this local sandwich shop. I was extremely impressed by the huge variety of sandwiches they have. From hot to cold and even cold sides (salads, pasta salads) to choose from. I had a hard time choosing what to order but the cashier was so friendly and helpful. He gave me lots of good recommendations! I ordered the Paulie's Beef and Pepps and The Uncle. I was really impressed by the quality of the meats and the breads was crispy but soft. They are on the pricey side but honestly so worth it. The sandwiches are 10 inches so it is easy to share between 2 people. They have a small bar top inside but a huge patio outside to enjoy your sandwiches. Really clean interior and everything is really organized. Overall solid place.

    Anthony K.

    They've got a killer lineup of made to order sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. The spot's chill, with indoor and outside seating, very clean and organized. Every sandwich is wrapped up perfectly, like a gift, feels like they made it just for you. You can tell the staff genuinely care which makes all the difference.

    (5/5) Excellent--10 out of 10! This is exactly what a breakfast sandwich should be: cheesy, hot, and served fresh. Absolutely delicious. I loved it and will definitely come here again!

    Saw Uncle Paulie's packed one afternoon and had to see what the hype was about. Different sandwiches to choose from either hot or cold .. Vibes are classic deli with an LA twist.

    One of the jewels of old Los Angeles. Langers is an essential part of the history of this area…read more It's a real east coast style delicatessen. There are only a handful of these left, and this is probably the best. I've been coming here a couple times a year since the 90's and still love it. They have a big menu with a lot of good stuff but they are most famous for the pastrami. It's incredible. A couple of us have been on a pastrami quest the last year or two hitting all the top spots in LA and NYC and this might be the best out of the 20 or so places we compared. Langers is a time capsule - it's unchanged mid century vibe is perfect. They are very fast with the orders, servers are so on top of refills and pickles. This place is a well oiled machine. Tons of people come but they move them in and out quickly. I've been here when there was a line down the street, but they keep it turning over. I've also walked in and sat right away, it's lucky of the draw. The have a counter or small booths and tables. They have all the items you'd expect on the menu, mastoball, knish, pastrami, corned beef, breakfast all day and really, really good pies for dessert.

    Yesterday was one of those days where I just needed a pastrami sandwich. It's a craving that rarely…read morecomes, but when it does, it arrives with a burning desire. I hopped in my 2017 Rav4, threw on Daft Punk, rolled the windows down, and had a spiritual drive to Langer's in downtown LA. I arrived and circled the block a few times, as I was back in a fight for my life to find parking. A uniquely Angelino experience. Frustration percolated. Breath Johnny, Breath. I finally found a spot a half mile walk away. I stepped out, paid for parking, and set off on the journey to Langer's. What a journey it was. It is rough down here. Living in New York for 4 years made me forget. It felt like skid row. The city just must not care. Junkies slumped, needles on the ground, and a mix of unidentified smells that amalgamated to form one of the most unpleasant odors to ever hit my nostrils. I waged through the unwelcomed scents, making sure to not look anyone in the eye, and finally made it to Langer's. I opened the door to a safe house amidst the downtown LA streets. The horrifying odor became a distant memory, with the smell of fresh, savory pastrami stepping in. I put in an order for takeout, and pulled out a book while I waited. I'm doing this thing where I keep a book on me at all times, so that everytime I pull out my phone to scroll, I read instead. Why? Because I'm better than you. As I was deeply enthralled with my novel, a man in a suit came up and asked if I was all set or needed anything else. What a touch. White glove service is a dying breed, and him just caring about the customer gave me little butterflies. I got my hot pastrami on rye ($24), and set off to MaCarthur park right across the street for a place to grub. I should have known that the park would be the exact same as the streets surrounding it, but the hopeless optimist in me was doing his thing. I took a lap around the park and quickly realized it was about the last place I would ever want to sit and enjoy a meal. I made the journey back to the Rav4, and took it to a park 20 minutes away that I knew was optimal. This sandwich was incredible. The rye bread was hearty with a crunchy crust, and the pastrami was so tender it truly melted in your mouth. It was a nice moment. Sitting in the park with this pastrami sandwich, just because I wanted to. When was the last time you really did something for yourself, and only because you wanted to do it? Sometimes, being selfish is the answer. Take care of yourself. Spend time with yourself. You're all you have at the end of the day. Langer's was the 2nd best pastrami sandwich I've had behind Katz's.

I was planning to stick with my usual sandwiches, but the delicious aroma of freshly baking pizza totally pulled me in. While waiting, we browsed the impressive selection of beers in their fridges; everything is neatly labeled with a wide range of craft, limited edition, sours, ales, hefs, and IPAs. We couldn't resist creating a 4-pack to take home. Love the cool wine cellar vibes The Heights has but for beer and yummy grub. For dinner, we ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza (cooked well done, my go to). Waiting for our order, I was this close to putting together another beer 4-pack, but I managed to resist! Our food came out quick, and we headed home (as fast as legally allowed ). The pizza was huge, flavorful, and super satisfying--even if it could've used a tiny bit more time in the oven for that extra "well-done" crisp. Regardless, we left stuffed and happy. Service was great, and I got a kick out of the restroom key attached to a small frying pan--no way anyone's losing that! I usually get lucky with street parking right out front. Make sure to heck the street signs and meters. Always a fun and tasty experience. The Heights Deli is a must before or after the game, or anytime you're in the area!

Nothing succeeds like excess. In fact, most people will need a take out box for one less meal to cook. Delicatessen means delicate eating in German, but at a Jewish American Delicatessen, the emphasis is on the Eating, which I am not complaining. 1) I requested an off menu item of having a Reuben sandwich where half is Corned Beef and the other Pastrami. Brent's Reuben has warm Sauerkraut, grilled Rye bread, melted Swiss Cheese, 1,000 Island dressing. Thinly sliced, multi-layered Mound of Pastrami is a bit on the dry side. Curing doesn't create a deep meaty Umami and spicing is present but attenuated. The Corned Beef is moister with bit more Umami & plush, thin multi-layered red colored meat. I have to say the Pastrami at Langer's is cured more intensely to bring out a deep Umami as well as more complex and complementary spicing of especially warm spiced cloves that adds aromatic richness. Brent's Pastrami doesn't seem to reach that kind of apotheosis. 1b) I asked for the steak fries to be fried two minutes longer for a crisper finish which was honored. Not much in way of that distinctive potato earthiness, but acceptable. 1c) Coleslaw is mayonnaise based, watery, bland, but a good cruciferous, fibrous veggie to add more fibre, healthful phytochemicals to counter the meat overload even though it isn't flavourful 2) Carrot Cake is closer to a delicate, dense, moist spice cake. A slice is enormous since it is cut from an extra tall cake studded with crushed walnuts and a cream cheese like not too sweet frosting. At $14 it could feed 4 people. Service is fine. They take your order and run with it. Bit of tunnel vision where it may be a bit hard to flag them down. But the job does get done. Overall 3+ stars
