Scrumptious Italian deli with delicious sandwiches made to order in Santa Cruz. Awesome selection of Monin syrups also, in addition to ready made salads, sauces, and pastas. The sandwiches were delicious. I really enjoyed my Castroville Italian sandwich and my husband scarfed down his Eggplant Parmesan sandwich. My kids had the cranberry turkey sandwich. They also had the voodoo chips I rarely see and love.

First time trying this place. It was busy inside upon arrival. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the veggie sandwich. I got mine without the mushrooms and Italian dressing. I opted for Mayo and avocado instead. It was fresh and delicious.

Outstanding!! Crowded but quick service. Price range is reasonable. We shared a delicious Mediterranean sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful and the bread was perfectly soft (homemade). The people were all very kind and seemed happy to be there. We will make this a place to visit every time we're in Santa Cruz!
Santa Cruz local here, been going here for 15+ years, hands down best sandwich in the Santa Cruz area. Tons of variety, I personally love the bandwich with breaded chicken but never had a bad sandwich here. Nice add ons like real root beer, good chips etc. Their take home stuff is tasty too, gotten the lasagna and it's great. Awesome service, even when it's busy things move quickly and efficiently.

I was informed about this deli, so I decided to visit there for lunch for the very first time the other day. I ordered one of my favorite sandwiches, which is a bloody red roast beef, with extra meat. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The meat was great tasting just super delicious. I also included in my order a bag of chips and a large coke, and a small bowl of fruit. The place was crowded, but it did not take long at all for me to place my order and get my sandwiched. Probably 10 minutes max. be returning to order another great tasting roast beef sandwich.

Favorite place in Santa Cruz. So many foods to choose from and easy ordering system. Every city should have a zoccolis.

Zoccoli's is a very busy Italian delicatessen located in downtown Santa Cruz. They quickly and efficiently prepare and serve a good array of cold and hot sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas, and Grab-and-Go freshly prepared items. Take a number from the pull-tab dispenser to secure your ordering place in line. The overhead menu board can't be missed and is easy to read. After ordering, proceed to the payment register and remember to keep your number, as it will be called when your order is ready. Vegetarian friendly and vegan options are available. For enjoying your meal/snack on site, indoor seating is limited to three bistro tables. In addition, there are also seating options on the pedestrian friendly Pacific Avenue. In addition to made-to-order foods, Zoccoli's carrys a large selection of grocery items, as well as meats, cheeses, olives, and all the accouterments for special occasions or a fantastic charcuterie board.

Breakfast sandwich is our favorite ?. Don't forget to grab a number before you order!
Great sandwich spot! Food Notes: Anti-pasto Sandwich (4 Stars) I ordered with Mortadella instead of salami, no cheese, add mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, onions. Deviled Eggs (3 stars) nothing special Reuben (3 stars) It was good, adder mustard. Maybe next time get with pastrami Until next time... Try eggplant next time

The sandwich I had was fantastic!! The pasta salad was bland and wet. I didn't even mind eating at a sidewalk table with dogs barking because the sandwich was great!!

Great pastrami sandwich- really good quality ingredients and fresh. Generous with meat and avocado. The tritip sandwich was tasty too. Plenty of parking half a block
