    Their breakfast sandwiches are so fire~! I've grabbed sandwiches a few times from here and they always hit just right. The sausage egg & cheese ($13) has scrambled Eggs, a sausage patty & American Cheese on a Poppy Seed Kaiser Roll and it's just so darn good. The Bacon Egg & Cheese ($15.50) is equally as good with the same ingredients except Applewood Smoked Bacon as the protein. They've served me really well for breakfast sandwiches. I don't have kids but their cute menu item of making whatever your kids are into for $7.50 is adorable and considerate. A big fan of Uncle Paulie's Deli and can't wait to try more of their menu! It's a big one so I'll be back many times working my way through everything.

    The Pauly!!! Perfect if you like a little pepper

    Super chill atmosphere and a yummy sandwich! Will definitely come back. Staff was very kind, friendly and a clean place. Oh and the strawberry lemonade is fresh and delicious

    Great hoagie place off of 3rd. Today I had a the Downtown Turkey, chips and a Diet Coke. Bread was amazing. Hoagie was great. Staff was super-friendly as well. They have a handful of seats inside and a few outside. Will definitely eat here again.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    (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!

    So you can't go to the Fairfax area of Los Angeles and not have lunch at Canter's…read more It's a famous place, had to try it. I went with my sister and a friend and everything was very good. We had a nice server, Daniel, who was very attentive and helpful. My sister ordered cheese blintzes and they were served cold in the middle. Daniel took them back and when they reappeared at the table they were hot enough but not piping hot. Sister said they were very good. But two not very large blintzes for about $16, is kind of high. Friend had a Rueben which she said was delish. She also ordered a container of matzah ball soup and the matzoh ball was huge! I ordered a hot corned beef on rye and it was indeed very good. Large enough that half was enough for dinner and the other half was another meal on the next day. I also ordered onion rings. Very good! My dining companions enjoyed some of them too and there were still a few left to take home with my sandwich! I had a few of my friend's steak fries, they were good also. The prices are high here. Guess you have to go with the flow in a world-famous place! There is a small bakery counter near the front door. We bought two danishes to take home. OMG, the chocolate and almond danish was absolutely a 6 on a scale 0f 1-5! Also got a bear claw and it's terrific too. But the other was great. Notice I said was; my sister and I shared it. Didn't tale too long for us to decimate it! This was an experience for sure. If ever I get to LA again, I will be sure to get a chocolate and almond danish!

    Having just celebrated its 80th anniversary, Canter's remains a fixture of the Fairfax district,…read morethough the light coming from this fixture is starting to flicker and fizzle big time. The large neon signs out front may appear properly retro at night, but look unpleasantly in need of repair in the daylight. The same is true of the restaurant's interior, with dim lighting, dull orange booths, and long-unpolished chrome giving the place a somewhat depressing aura. That visual is unfortunately paired with a sour, mildewed smell, as if the entire place had been wiped down with mops and rags that should have been thrown out months ago. Despite all this, I decided to stay and have the meal I'd planned, as I hadn't been here in a long time. There wasn't much business at 11am on a Thursday, so I slid right into a seat at the counter (the only person at the counter) and was deftly handled by a waiter named Jeff, who was pleasant and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, and checking in on me several times during my meal. He's a good egg, and I hope he got a good deal more business before the end of his shift. Where Canter's gets some extra points is with their prices, which are currently several dollars below what you'll pay at the other legacy delis in town. The portions are a tad smaller, but are in no way skimpy; that said, my sandwich, soda and tax wound up being about the price you'll pay for just a sandwich at other places, so you're getting a decent bang for your buck. I ordered the Bronx Special, which is a combo sandwich of Pastrami and Chopped Liver. Canter's is the only place I know of in L.A. that serves this sandwich open faced, which allows you to more easily combine the two main items to your liking. The pastrami could have been hotter and a little juicier, but had good flavor without being too salty, so I found the compromise to be worth it. The Chopped Liver had a fresh and mild flavor, and had just the right consistency: a balance between creaminess and a rustic chop, reminding you at all times that you're eating Jewish style chopped liver, not paté. Cole slaw served on the side was fresh and cool, with a nice balance of bitter cabbage and sweet carrot. I personally would prefer that it be a bit creamier, but I know my wife, who intensely dislikes mayo, would really love this version. Pickles were of the half-sour variety, which I really enjoy -- and these had a nice pop of garlic and spice, so they made their presence known. In the end, a meal at Canter's is a mixed bag these days. The deli food may not be the very best in town, but is still quite decent, and the affordable prices are much appreciated. However, the dim lighting and physical decline of the venue combine to create the atmosphere of a dive, and that most definitely subtracts from the overall enjoyment of eating there.

I ordered the Black Pastrami Reuben, and this was really yummy! The pastrami itself was juicy, tender, and loaded onto the sandwich along with sauerkraut. It was delicious on its own, but I asked for Thousand Island dressing on the side so I could dip the sandwich into it and that combination was heaven. The tangy, creamy dressing with the rich pastrami took it to another level! You can also get the classic hot pastrami if that's more your style. The Club Sandwich was also really good. This is more of a classic, straightforward deli sandwich and it's hard to go wrong with it when you're craving something familiar. But the biggest surprise for me was actually the cabbage coup. I wasn't expecting much, but wow. It's a sweet comforting soup made with meat and cabbages, and I found myself absolutely loving it. I have no idea how much sugar goes into that broth, but there's something about the sweet flavor that just works. You can order a small bowl, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're curious. I also asked for bagel chips and pickles which were really fun to snack on. The salmon bagel and whitefish bagel were perfectly fine, but neither was particularly memorable compared with the pastrami or soup. I think this place is worth a visit if you're in Northridge and craving a classic deli meal. I'm definitely excited to go back and try out some other things on the menu.

I love the exterior look of the building with their iconic sign. When you step inside it feels like being transported to a simpler time.

All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.
