Compagno's Market & Deli Reviews
I first visited this amazing local deli in 1989-1990. I remembered the half loaves of bread stacked high with a pile of my choice of meats and cheeses. Although I was only 18-19, Compagno’s established my standard for an amazing sandwich.
32 years later I brought my sons here for lunch. Same delicious goodness a generation later.
Best deli on central coast! Not flashy or fancy. Just good sandwiches on amazing breads!
The sandwiches are huge, and worth every penny. The full size sandwich fed 4 of us (and we’re big people!). We tried their potato salad, pasta salad, and broccoli salad, and everything was so good we couldn’t decide which one to use for our daughter’s upcoming baby shower - so we’ll probably buy every one.😂
They have a large selection of chips, cookies, sodas and beer as well, including some German beers.
We definitely recommend this place, for civilians and military...read full review

Compagno's Market & Deli is a popular spot for sandwiches in a neighborhood setting. This well-known sandwich shop serves large sandwiches on thick, soft bread, with even a half portion being enough for two meals. The market, situated in a residential area, has a small parking lot and a deli counter where customers place their orders by filling out a card outside. The deli is quirky, decorated with military memorabilia that adds to its charm. Despite its small size, the service is friendly and efficient, and the owner takes time to get to know customers.
Everything at Compagno's is homemade and made with love. The food is plentiful and delicious, with many unique flavors and foreign foods like chips, soda, and soups. The drink selection is impressive, likely the best in town. The #26 sandwich, especially with chipotle mayo, is a favorite among many. The sandwiches are so big that a half portion is perfect for two people, and full sandwiches can last for 2-3 meals. The place also offers large slices of cake, including a cookie dough cake that many find delicious. While it may not have a romantic ambiance, those seeking great deli sandwiches at good prices will be very satisfied. Many customers appreciate the friendly owner and the variety of hard-to-find chips. Overall, Compagno's is a locally loved gem known for its good eats, friendly service, and affordable prices.
