I didn't know they served beer and wine, which was nice to have with your sandwich. I wanted to try the Muffaletta. I brought my own gluten-free bread bun and the other person with me ordered the same sandwich but with the bread; and they truly enjoyed it as well. My only issue with the sandwich is that the Portella mushrooms took away from it, rather than enhancing the flavor. Overall, good experience, decent service, I will definitely be back to try more items off the menu and check out their shop.

Fresh bread, freshly cut meats and cheeses and made with pride. It's a true gem. They sell their deli meats and have a nice selection of Italian wines too. You enter and get in line to order. When the order is ready, they call your name and bring it to you in a simple brown bag. There isn't a lot of seating so we get our food and go to a park to eat. I love this place!

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious. The Service is ultra friendly. And the atmosphere feels like and Italian Deli-Market. I recommend it.

This is the original sub sandwich for my team…read more It's been here for ages. My team goes more often than me, but it's the place to go when you are hungry. Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

We first came here after a tip from my dentist. Glorious stories of buying a lb of pastrami and it being so good and hot that they ate it all in the parking lot. Another case of oversized matzoh balls and a tasty broth. They have exceptional meats and a terrific cole slaw. Portions are usually on the large side. However, today's sandwich was a bit skimpy, by comparison. This is also dessert central. Plenty of danish, cookies and 7-layer cake. Prices are actually reasonable for the product received. 10/25

Much better than the more "popular"spots down Orchard Lake, and on Telegraph. I think I heard that they brine their own corned beef. Regardless, they have some of the best corned beef I have ever tasted! Their sandwiches are very generous, but not overwhelming like so many other places. Their pastrami is also fabulous! I am not even a fan of matzoh ball soup but I love theirs! I often make it a point to stop by even when I need to go out of my way. Fantastic!

When we arrived at the deli, we were warmly greeted by the owner, who held the door open for us. Nice touch. He escorted us to the deli area and introduced us to our waitress, who was equally welcoming. Jillian ordered the Maurice Salad, which she swears is the best she's ever tasted. That says a lot since she lives out of restaurants. Besides being delicious, the salad was chopped into manageable bite-sized pieces, a feature she particularly liked. I ordered the Tuna Melt, and it was outstanding. It was tuna salad, red onion, dill havarti cheese, and capers on grilled rye bread served warm. Whoa! It was so good, I thanked the cooks. This is now my new favorite sandwich. Mudgie's is a warm and inviting place with great food and music. Check it out!

It's got crunchy goodness on the outside. I've had their half sandwich and soup with a blt and ham/bean soup. The soup was under seasoned for me, but no real complaints.

Now for the food - We got a few meats--turkey pastrami, corned beef and a "wildcard" (I let the staff pick, and whatever it was it was good). We also got the special spices etc. I do prefer a more of an Italian sandwich on a hard roll, so I'm not sure the soft onion roll is for me. If you like a cold sandwich un-toasted and generally basic with a bit of a twist, you will love this! My husband and I enjoyed the sandwich (split it, and they put mayo on half at my request). It's a charming spot, quality food and I'm glad we tried it. Skip the spicy potato salad. It was bland, sadly.

My friends have always ordered carryout, but ordering in person was so much more enjoyable. While the interior is by-and-large a throwback to the past; the staff is most definitely a breath of fresh air. They're all kind, patient, and make the best sandwiches! I had the 2 meats (turkey and turkey pastrami) with everything sans pickles plus love spice on an onion roll. I'm beyond satisfied and it was divine! The price was reasonable for a deli sandwich at $10 before tax and 4% card fee. I usually go for corned beef at the deli, but this was a leaner yet equally tasty option in an attempt to be more health conscious. Needless to say, I'll be back! Thanks, ladies!
