Ordered through Doordash. I was craving an Italian sub sandwich and I saw this. Never heard of it before and I've lived in the area for 23 years. Can't believe I've been missing out on some of the most delicious Italian sandwiches ever!!
And by the way, These are supposed to be 8-inch subs, but they clearly measured 10 inches!!

They took twenty minutes to make a sandwich and it sucked. I was so hungry and so disappointed. Ruined my lunch and took up all my time so I couldn’t go somewhere else because I had to get back to work.

Pains me to say how far this place has fallen. I hear it’s new owners. Have had two orders cancelled by them for no explanation and just had them say their grill is out so nothing on the grill. Understand that things happen but this is all within a month span. Hate to say my chances to return are very low because of these experiences. A Shame

Does Basil’s Deli and Cafe have the BEST Subs in the San Fernando Valley?

I needed some sandwiches to bring for a picnic at the Hollywood Bowl and a beach day with friends. I came across this hidden gem that we’ve driven by hundreds of times. Family owned and operated in the heart of Chatsworth. It’s 100% worth the hype!!

Quality premium meats, freshly sliced to order. It’s a flavor-packed local gem you can’t miss. Handcrafted sub sandwiches from Basil’s Deli in Canoga Park with fresh Boar’s Head meats.

We tried these sub sandwiches:
Al Pacino’s Favorite – bold and meaty. Turkey, roast beef, ham, salami—stacked like a gangster lineup.
Classic Italian – timeless deli perfection. Nothing beats a Classic Italian. Genoa salami, mortadella, prosciutto, hot capicolla—each bite, a hit of pure deli magic. Savory and salty!
Torino’s Special – full of flavor and extra love. It’s layered like a love letter to old-school Italian delis with Mortadella, ham, prosciutto, copicolla and salami. Stacked and loaded!!

Tip: when taking on a picnic, ask for any sauces, dressings or pepperoncini on the side so that sandwich does not get soggy.

They have these unique Basil Seed drinks. Instead of chia seeds floating in the drinks, they have Basil seeds, which helps to cool the body. Perfect for the summer!!

Basil’s Deli and Cafe is a definite MUST-TRY, with so many incredible sub sandwich options, we’ll be back to explore more from the menu!

Top notch customer service from Herman, Manuel, Greg and Arthur!!

A hidden gem old school sandwich shop

Got the hot pastrami sandwich, and wow it reminded me of the delicious pastramis from NY.
Everything here is made to order, so no pre-made pick up sandwiches.
You do have to pay extra for 12”, however the freshness, quality and the house sauce is worth it.
