15 Best Delis in St. Louis

“Always a great sandwich, no matter what you try. I like the local options for fountain drinks, also. Line may look long but they move pretty well. I probably wait 15 min from when I walk up to having food in my hand, but your mileage may vary. But this is a top 5 sandwich place in STL.“

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.“

“The Greek salad and gyro salad are huge and fresh!! Sometimes the hamburgers are sold out because they are so popular. A clean, no frills restaurant we have enjoyed for many years!! We take our out of town friends for a good meal/or take out.“

“Have had just about all the sandwiches here all were excellent .lots of meat“

“By far the best frozen take out pizza's on the hill - also the best Italian beef sandwich I've ever had“

“Piekutowski's polish sausage is the best. You will never want anything else once you have it..“

“Great sandwiches, great service all for a reasonable price. Stop in check them out.“

“I haven’t had a good hot pastrami since I was a kid growing up in University City. Husband was in the hospital across the street and the nurse recommended Carls hot pastrami. It did not disappoint. It was delicious!!“

“Best place in town to get the authentic St. Louis style pizza! They use real ingredients (none of the fake provel replacement), not to mention, they have one of the best cauliflower crusts I've ever had! If you need to stock up on your STL favs, look no further than Imo's Meat and Sausage "On the Hill."“

“This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch in the city. We were staying close by and saw good reviews. rather than paying $30 for breakfast at our hotel we had two wonderful breakfast wraps which were amazing and the bread was much more substantial than a typical wrap. You are close to the Arch so whether you are staying in the area or visiting the Arch and looking for a meal I highly recommend! Only disappointment was when we returned with our friends on Saturday they were closed. Since it appeared to be family run and with the city so quiet on the weekends, in our observation, I am guessing that is the reason.“

“Me and my husband try to go to a different deli every weekend. This is, by far, the best sandwich I ever had!! (Big Litty) Unbelievable“

“I was hungry, and in a hurry and this shop was empty so I stopped in. Really glad I did. Clean place, super friendly staff, and great sandwiches! Check it out!“

“This place is worth seeking out! They are so friendly and helpful. The bagel and lox was generous and delicious. What a great menu and such awesome pastries. We misjudged our time and ate and left really quickly. I wish we could have stayed and enjoyed the place longer. We left quickly but someone chased us to the parking lot to give us 3 gigantic and delicious chocolate chip cookies, for free! I can't wait to come back!“

“I ordered the corned beef sandwich with french fries and a pickle spear. I received a thick stack of corned beef which was nice. The corned beef had more fat in it than I like. The french fries were not cooked enough. I could tell by the color then confirmed when I bit into them. The french fries did not have the crunchy texture although they were seasoned well. I received great service at the bar. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it. They have a very large parking lot in front of the restaurant.“
