“📍 Deanatella’s Italian Deli – Valley View, OH 🧀🍕🥖 A true hidden gem that screams classic Italian deli the second you walk in. If you can name the deli meat, trust us—they’ve got it. Shelves packed, fridges loaded, and a full lineup of Coke products to wash it all down. We stop here 2–3 times a month, and for good reason. The food never misses. Here's what we had today: 🍕 Pepperoni Pizza – 8.1/10 Hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. A crustless, center-cut slice of cheesy joy. No edge, no problem—it hits hard where it counts. 🍕 Sausage Pizza – 8.4/10 Same amazing base, but the sausage takes it up a notch. Big, juicy chunks of sausage packed with flavor. Definitely the MVP slice today. 🌶️ Mild Pepper Sub – 9.2/10 This one’s my go-to. Not super spicy, but absolutely loaded with flavor. The combo of peppers, melty cheese, and rich sauce makes for one giant, unforgettable sandwich. Perfect from the first bite to the last. The staff? Always friendly. The vibes? All Italian. If you’re anywhere near Cleveland, do yourself a favor and stop by Deanatella’s. You’ll thank yourself later. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time.

“love this place...great staff, quick grab and go nutrition and yummy goodness every time. best vegan spot in the area.“

“great food! cozy street atmosphere!“

“Best of the best! Live in Youngstown but everytime we travel for work, it is a guaranteed stop for our team. The staff is great and the food is beyond consistent if that makes any sense. The bread is unique but familiar. Have a hard time not getting the turkey so I’ll usually snag a sandwich for when I get home. DONT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE AND IF THE LINE IS BUSY KEEP CALLING IF ITS NOT PAST 2pm. Good chance they are sold out if that’s the case 😉“

“On Tuesday, June 17th, 18 old ladies and gents "dropped in" for lunch, thinking arrangements had been made for us. Someone slipped up. The restaurant already had a healthy number of customers but the staff hustled tables, chairs, setups, etc. and in no time, we were soon seated and making our food choices. Instead of any of the staff having an "attitude", we were treated with Simon's usual good cheer. Bravo Simon's!“

“Was hearing so much about Charley's cheesesteak, the article in the Call and Post is what really pulled me in. Came and got Philly cheesesteak and Old school cheesesteak with classic lemonade, the sandwiches was delicious and the lemonade excellent. Will be returning. Welcome to the neighborhood 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Good Customer service and very affordable food!“

“I never thought I'd have another italian sub sandwich again after I stopped eating meat in the late '90s (yeah, people can do it for that long and still be alive. Amazing, right?). And then I saw that Dave's Cosmic Subs has vegan options. Well now I'm enjoying them again thanks to this place. I can't believe I've waited this long to try anything from them, but I'm making up for it now.“

“Excellent fresh ingredients! Try the edgewater hero ! Delish. Friendly Staff!“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

“The food here is so good and so reasonable! My son had the lamb Gyro and he could not stop raving about it! The rest of our party had breakfast sandwiches and they made them fresh right in front of you and I specifically said I only wanted bacon if it could be crispy, very few restaurants understand what crispy bacon is supposed to be But they nailed it! He told me he would make sure it was crispy and it was the best. He cracked the egg in a pan right in front of us went into a little oven and it absolutely perfect. We ate there in the morning before going to the football game and we highly recommend West 3rd Deli!!!“

“I don't know who manages this Charley's😋on Broadway Avenue in the hood but I tell y'all this....their food is always HOT&FRESH to order. The customer service is 💯. The food is Delish!!!
Charley's is the BEST restaurant in that area. The one on Lee Road need help.... Young Stunners keep up the Great!!! customer service. To the owner those young adults rep Charley's to the fullest. Give them a raise will I give them a Praise for Excellence❤“

“I used to live in Cleveland hts and started going to Grums when they first opened. I now sometimes drive all the way from Westlake just for a Grum’s sub. In my opinion the Grums Turkey Ridge sub on French bread is the best sub ever, anywhere!!!“

“They have hired amazing staff here! Second time I ordered once I dined in second time ordered online and both times my food was hot and ready and every topping you see in the ads are actually on their sandwiches I’m surprised! Friendly staff and they actually add every topping to their sandwiches you see in the ads ! And affordable pricing, i recommend this location way better than south park mall“

“Awesome little deli. I have not had anything there that I did not like. I would definitely recommend it!“

“BABYYYY, Mr. Hero has NOT missed yet! 😋🔥 The food is a solid 10/10 EVERY TIME! They're running a promotion where you buy 2 cheesesteak sandwiches of your choice, and let me tell you, they understood the assignment! 🥪😍 The place is CLEAN, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the whole experience is a VIBE! Great food, great service, and consistency! Keep doing what y'all doing because you haven't disappointed me yet! 💯🙌🏽“

“I received bad customer service today around 6pm. There were several customers ahead of me ordering multiple sandwiches that were made by a young man. When it was finally my turn, a friend called me on the phone. It was ringing loudly, but I answered and got rid of the call in 10 seconds max. When I looked up a young lady appeared and was making multiple sandwiches for the two people at the end of the line who arrived quite a bit after I did and were behind me in line. There was no disputing this fact. The young man and woman tried to figure out why I was standing in line in front of those being served. He asked me if I wanted to order. Why did he think I was standing for 10 minutes waiting? No apologies from anyone. The young woman told me that she had said “next customer” and the guy behind me quickly spoke up. She said that I was on the phone, but that is no excuse as I ended the call rapidly. The food was fine, but the service was terrible and I felt ignored. The woman seemed to be picking and choosing who to serve first.“

“This is an excellent Mr. Hero. Very clean, good service, and friendly staff. Be sure to try their Jalapeño Poppers and online ordering.“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

“I don’t eat Mr. Hero often - for a lot of reasons. But I am a life long Clevelander so feel like every now and then I get a craving - not sure if it’s being a child of the 80’s, something in the water - but for some reason on a random day, this thought pops in to my head…. Romanburger… Romanburger… This location has got to be one of the best on the east side. Everything is always hot, bread is fresh - seems clean inside.“

“This location has friendly staff and the food has always been cooked well. The location and outside leaves much to be desired but since the food is good we don't care as much about the outside 😆. Most likely you will want to get food through the drive-thru or order on the app and pick it up.“

“This Penn Station is a go to for my family when we want a quick, affordable meal. The staff are always very friendly to us and I feel as if they genuinely care about our dining experience (which is rare these days). One time they forgot to pack my daughter's sandwich and before I had even realized what happened, they called me and gave us a free sandwich. I cannot think of a place in recent memory that went out of their way to own up to a mistake like that.
So if you're looking for good food that doesn't feel like you're getting ripped off, and quality customer service, I recommend this Penn Station.“

“I liked it here. I got the BBLT w/o tomato’s and it was pretty good, 4/5 for the chicken noodle soup and they have a lot of different options you can choose from ! 8/10 for the peach juice (in photo) a little sugary but typical juice yk. I love the different varieties of beverages to select from! I am a big ice fan so I was a little disappointed their ice machine was down but I understand. Both take out and dine in portions matched. No wait ! I will b back“

“Great subs with awesome atmosphere. Have had the italina and meatball before both to die for. Have heard really good things about the vegetarian as well. All their sauces are amazing too, don't forget to get some to take home with you“

“We ordered subs for our high school bball team. Ryan and his team went above and beyond to get our boys fed even offering early pickup before opening to get us to the game on time. The food was well prepared, packaged and delicious. Thank you for your great service and the extra goodies we can’t wait until you come to Valpo so we can visit more often!“

“Just tried this great little sandwich shop in Ohio City, and we were so impressed! They were extra careful with my husband’s celiac needs and made the BEST chicken salad sandwiches we’ve ever had. The best kind of messy! The kids’ sandwiches were perfect too. Thanks, Little Cloud!“

“Hanini Subs on Woodland isn’t just another sandwich shop—it’s a neighborhood staple. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy: the grill sizzling, the staff moving with purpose, and customers who clearly know this is the place to be. The subs are stacked heavy, the corned beef is legendary, and the loaded fries are the kind of comfort food that hits every time.“

“The best Subway in the area if you really need a Subway sandwich & their cookies. Daughter enjoys a good Italian sub at this location only. Veggies and meat are always fresh, never suspicious and worried about quality here... They seem to care!“

“2 people working a buttload of customer's and everyone was takin care of quickly we had the value pack and the order was correct and made in good time. So thx for a giid experience and friendly service and giid food. A right around the corner customer 😁“

“All their food is amazing and very well kept inside the building, ive been going here for a couple years and I've never had any issue's with my food or waiting time, the owners and workers are very friendly too. Would recommend this place to anyone.“

“Lady seem respectful but messed up the order by charge me for a large and because they made the sandwich they wouldn't change it. Told me I'd have to wait for a whole other sandwich. Which is kind of BS because they messed up my order. I personally think this to your house is overrated, and pretty expensive for the quality of the food.“

“Placed an order for 4 sandwiches. Each was special order and they were ALL perfect and delicious. They were friendly and welcoming…will DEFINITELY go again.

Vegetarian options: PESCATARIAN

Dietary restrictions: Tomatoes, onions,peppers lettuces restricted and veggie sub was GREAT for a pescatarian.“

“Besides the food being amazing, Customer service was also AMAZING, i was having a bad morning when a young lady who worked there. I think her name was Jayda if i’m not mistaken. Brighten my day up just by talking to me and making me feel better! Thank you cocky bagels !👍“

“great sandwiches. very nice customer service“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

“The guy working was extremely nice as can be everything is always good the stores always clean and fresh ? best subway still for years and years“

“Nice food come enjoy specially Roman burger so delicious and yummy“

“Claudia & Tory served us and they were so welcoming and friendly!!! Before we even got our food, I told my husband, we’re definitely coming back here! Would absolutely recommend !!!! Plus it smelled so good and was nice and clean when we walked in!“

“Oh my goodness! So hot, fresh and good!!! Love their fish and chips. I grew up eating this and it’s so good. Anytime we come to Cuyahoga Falls we stop and get this. Amazing food. Brings back childhood memories. It was down the street in Barberton growing up and we had it often.“

“Great place. 9 out of 10 times you'll get good food. That 1 time you don't and the sandwich under performs for the price is expected in the fast food industry. One thing they lack is service. I generally order online and when I pickup the employees never greet you, just look at you, say your name, get the food, leave. All without them saying a single word. If they do talk they are mostly rude, unless you get the normal woman employee who runs counter sometimes. She's really pleasant. Overall I def recommend.“

“Great food!! I like that they remodeled it!!!!!!!“

“This Subway in my opinion is by far the best in the city, It’s always kept clean and the presentation is always on top. The employees are always very nice and inviting, And my food is always great, my personal favorite is the tuna! I definitely recommend the store!“

“The sandwich artists at Toasty Subs make the most epic sandwiches. The food is fresh, the prep looks clean. I'm always happy to visit this area. Atmosphere is only three stars because, well, it's a gas station, not a dine-in experience.“

“I love this Subway.. its always clean and bright inside and ingredients don't look like they have been sitting out for days... today we had our sandwiches crafted by Brooke!! Not only did she make the most beautiful sub ive ever had but she was also so nice and friendly... Brooke you are a beautiful addition to this business... thank you!!!“

“Absolutely amazing subs! Great service! Food quality is excellent definitely recommend this for anyone’s lunch!“
