Driving by for years and always hearing good things we FINALLY tried D'Elias! We have been seriously missing out! It's easy to find, location is nice and the place itself is very nice and super clean! The sandwiches are epic! A whole is as large as my forearm and I'm tall lol, 2 people could easily share even a half! The bread was wonderful! We ordered two different sandwiches and the bread was the same yet different on each one.
We got the Cuban and the bread was soft and sooooo delicious, the filling was substantial the cheese was really well melted and the ham was delicious! it was just a really good sandwich!
We also ordered the Cappicola I added cotto salami and red onion and it was fabulous, the seasonings and meats were a perfect combo, the bread on this sandwich was more toasty, the potato salad was a great addition.
You can't beat the price and Monday-Thursday from 3-8 you get $2 off any whole sandwich.
The servers were very sweet, we were greeted as we walked in and helped right away.
I highly recommend coming here!
Oh they got me with a red velvet cupcake!! YUM!

We got a large turkey sandwich and there was 2 thinly sliced pieces of turkey on the sandwich. Shocked that a $14 sandwich would have so little meat on it. Subway even gives more meat. Great flavor, but won't be back due to the fact there was just 2 slices of turkey on a turkey sandwich.

Expensive for what you get. They hardly put any meat in my sandwich. The sandwich was dry. Employees sat around and gossiped and laughed more than they worked and place with dirty

If you want a sandwich that will remind you of the good ol' days, this is the place. The sandwiches from D'Elia's will remind you of the Great Depression. When they hand you your sandwich all wrapped up, you'll feel like you hit the jackpot. When you unwrap it, you'll feel like you're eating at Aunt Ida's house in 1930's New York City. One slice of roast beef in a whole loaf of sourdough. I felt like I was being punked. All bread and lettuce, if you're lucky maybe some meat.

I’m not sure what they’re smoking but Jesus dude look at my sandwich. I had it delivered via DoorDash and I’m not sure if they didn’t read properly or what but I paid a ton for the McPepperPounder. Jesus dude look at it. It looks like they poured gravel on it. Pure basalt. Volcanic rocks. Let’s say hypothetically I did order peppers, or extra peppers(which I didn’t btw). WHY THIS MANY? WHY A QUARTER OF YOUR JAR? Who in this world have you seen walk into your place and put THIS many peppers to the point you just throw 3000 years worth of volcanic rocks of pepper on my poor sandwich.

The cheesesteaks were amazing! Almost as good as they are in Philly. The first time I ordered for them, I got a cold sandwich and the bread was a little stale, but this time everything was perfect! Delicious cheesesteak

When food employees are making $20 an hour you can only hope they work with a sense of urgency . I ordered two ham and turkey grinders , there were five people working and I’m the only customer in the store and it took over 30 minutes to complete my order . The staff was very young and were to busy talking crap on people to work in a timely manner . Very disappointed in the service .

Great sandwiches 🥪 love the crunchy out bread with soft inside.. the prices have gone up but so has everything else. Plus you can get almost every topping the have at no extra cost.

I love their grinders, but they really need to look at the orders. I asked for no tomatoes because I'm allergic, but tomatoes ended up on my sandwich 🙃

It's not what it used to be. Tables and floors feel dirty. It's time for an overhaul. Maybe a change in ownership after all these years to renew positive enthusiasm. You can get a better sandwich at Stater Brothers.
