This is everyone at my work's favorite go to lunch spot! Everything is always delicious. They know how to make a REAL SUB with a very hefty amount of meat on every sub which is very hard to find. I highly recommend the Madd Italian or Capri, but you really cannot go wrong with any choice here!

Family owned since the beginning, this is a true sandwich shop serving up the finest deli meats. I've been coming to the deli (both here and Herndon) for 2 decades and the quality has never let me down. Highly recommended if you're in the area!! I'll always be back.

Playing Michael Jackson will always get my attention but I tried this spot for the first time due to being down here on a work trip. I had the super smokey sandwich and it was AMAZING, I’m not a reviewer but I had to go as far as calling and saying thank you and share my appreciation for patience with someone who was overwhelmed with the menu and delivering on the product! I’ll be hitting this again and hopefully you will too!

Top tier Italian cold cut sandwich. Fresh bread, thinly sliced meats, perfect proportions. This is probably the best Italian sub I’ve ever had. Awesome little shop. Feels like Jersey inside.

Great sub shops seem few and far between in the area, and The Deli was just what I was looking for. Reminds me of the sub places I had in NJ. So many great things about it, starting with the bread. Sturdy to hold up to a lot of filling, but chewy. The meat is sliced thin and fresh. Even the 8" sub is a significant size. I went with The Madd Italian and my wife had the Super Smokey. Biggest regret... The place isn't closer by. Can't wait to be back.
