Yum! Campus deli recently changed owners/management and remodeled/switched up their menu a bit (I think.) I ordered a Turkey club and was a bit nervous about freshness of ingredients at first but I'm so happy I did! The bread was soft and delicious with good Turkey and veggies and cheese. It hit the spot and was a pretty big sandwich for 7.99! I also got onion rings which were yummy but not the best ever in my life. Online ordering is super easy (use the toast website from their instagram) and I'll definitely go back again soon! read more

Absolutely garbage!! Small portions, burnt food thats poor quality. Looks like high school kids cooking. They grill on the sidewalk at night blocking the path of foot traffic and there's never any parking. Don't waste your money here... when there's so many opportunities on campus to eat. 2 THUMBS DOWN!!! read more

Campus Deli is a great place to go if you're craving a very greasy and unhealthy meal. Basically, it's location in the middle of Oakland, surrounded by bars and college students, is perfect. I love the bread that they make their sandwiches with, and I always crave their fries whenever I walk by because you can smell them from outside. The portions are huge and can easily be split into two meals, which makes it even more tempting to go inside. Campus Deli isn't gourmet food by any means, but they are good at what they do. read more

Good place to go to if you want to pick up a sandwich. We went around opening time and there was already a short line but honestly not that bad. There are a bunch of different sandwiches to order from, and we decided to get the Buffalo Chicken Philly Cheesesteak and a regular cheesesteak. We got the fries and onion rings. You get a good amount of fries but for whatever reason there aren't a lot of onion rings. They were well made but it was unfortunate there weren't that many that came with it. The regular cheesesteak is good except it's a little dry. I would probably come again though I did think the sandwiches were a little bit on the pricier side. read more

Went and grabbed a breakfast sandwich made quick, good customer service, enjoyed the sandwich

Classic deli spot. A lot of people in & out. Definitely a grab and go type of deal for the most part. Owner is super friendly as well as the staff. I can imagine coming here late night after drinking for food would be a great move. Tried a bunch but the Mascot was insanely good . Would come back for sure when in the area. read more

I do not understand the hype surrounding campus deli, but the food is not my issue with this place. I have gone to campus deli a few times, and their prices have increased. $7 for a small side of mediocre onion rings is absolutely ridiculous. "The Student", which is Campus Deli's most popular sandwich, is $11. I know people love the food, but I have tried The Student a couple of times and I have been unimpressed. The last time I was at Campus Deli, they were ridiculously understaffed. There were two people working total during a rush just around 2 AM. Our food took over an hour to come out. The poor girl at register was being harassed by angry, drunk customers leaving bars. Considering how expensive the food is, Campus Deli could afford to staff more employees during peak times. read more

This place is perfect for students at Pitt! It's opened everyday, for long hours. Whenever you are lazy and want a delicious sandwich, salad, or pita, campus deli has your back! We love the alumni, as a true Pitt almun, chicken parmesan, and chicken tender BLT. read more

Campus Deli has been my favorite since High School. I really enjoy the Senior, fries and chicken tenders. The chicken tender and fries are some of the best I've ever had. The bread they use for their sandwiches is fresh and light, it's Fantastic. My biggest issue is their service isn't always the best. They seem to have a revolving door of helpers and then regular employees. The regulars are great. I often order delivery and it's really fast. Even at peak times. I'm constantly amazed how much food they churn out. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I should have waited a bit longer I suppose. The experience I had was not stellar at all. I opted for the breaded chicken salad after contemplating several other items on the menu. I should have stuck to a sandwich from here. When the salad arrived, the dressing was missing. A very important key ingredient to any salad is the dressing. With me being at work and on a limited amount of time to consume my salad on my lunch break, I had to rummage through the work fridge for some type of salad dressing to top this off. From the description on the menu you are to receive a handful of fries along with all the other ingredients for this salad. If they consider this a handful of fries, I consider that they have a two year old working there. I counted, and there were no more than eight total fries on this salad. The breaded chicken was actually good. It appears that they may make it on site (I cannot confirm this), but is was lightly breaded. Not like the chicken tenders at most other restaurants. Easily the best part of the salad. One other shining star to this salad was that they give you a pita on the side instead of bread. Giving you the option of putting the salad in the pocket and eating while doing other tasks. But it wasn't shining enough to give this place more than two stars in my opinion. read more

Some of the worst customer service I've experienced. First, I get called out for stealing water, when I brought an Aquafina bottle in. They don't even sell Aquafina. I was sworn at by employees, felt threatened, and had a terrible experience. Do not give them your business. read more

My friend and I checked out this local deli hoping to find something to fill our expectations. Apparently, they were only cooking 3 out of the 15+ menu items at the moment. Additionally, we, and several other customers were cursed at with multiple f bombs, instructed to shut the door to the business and the "Get the f*** inside" and "Shut our f*****g door". After this experience I will no longer be giving my business, and highly recommend that you do the same. read more

I end up in Campus Deli every weekend, the staff works very hard to complete everyones orders despite being understaffed and they always do a fairly good job with service. We love the food. That being said, on the phone they are very rude and act completely unfriendly. I called at 4:40 pm on a Saturday because online it says they open at 4:30, the person who answered the phone was extremely rude and unkind telling me to call back at 5. They hung up on me. When we called back the tone was so insulting. If they had explained they were understaffed or at least had a better attitude I would understand, but this was very disappointing especially since I've had generally good experiences with the staff there. read more

I have walked/driven past Campus Deli too many times to count and based upon appearances I was never willing to venture inside. A friend had always claimed that they make some of the best subs he had eaten. The combination of his gleaming reviews and their newly redesigned deli finally drew me inside and I was not disappointed. They use Boar's Head meat, quality cheeses, and THE BEST sub buns around (perfectly chewy). I ordered "The Sophomore", capicola, prosciutto, salami, ham, provolone, sun dried tomatoes, lettuce and vinaigrette. It rocked! Inside is a wall describing their 20-30 sandwiches, all of which sound delicious and are priced between $5-8. Based on the quality of the ingredients, the taste, and the price, I can't think of a single reason to go to Subway or Quizno's. read more

Tasty sandwiches. South Oakland sub spot with lunch hours. Tasty and lots of meat. The price is super steep but the service is friendly and fast. I'd actually rank them above a Jimmy Johns or Papa DaVinci's in taste, which threw me off. 3.5 stars....subs too small overall for the price but taste is solid. read more

Amazing customer service, they make you feel extremely welcome when you want to grab a sandwhich. Food is amazing, shout-out to the owner who cooks up miracles on the grill. Best breakfast sandwich and coffee in south O by far. read more

My daughter ordered a chicken sandwich from there on 2/18/22. Halfway through the sandwich, she realized it was raw. It tasted awful. She called us yesterday on 2/23/22. She had been throwing up all day! She got food poisoning from the chicken. Advice.....check it out before eating. read more

A convenient local deli which quickly serves up both hot and cold sandwiches. It's open late.

Awesome spot near campus for a tasty sandwich. Highly recommend this if you're hungover and need to get back on the horse. Prices are a little steep but the guys who work here are cool and will make your order fast. read more

I'm confused why this only has 3 starts? We order delivery from them at least once a week and everything is amazing. The chicken strips and fries are a favorite go to, the chicken wraps ate always great and the themed sandwiches are amazing! I just wished there fries were bigger since they are almost $5. read more

Good Philly Cheesesteaks can be tough to find. Especially in Pittsburgh. I'm glad to have stumbled across Campus Deli - by far, they serve the best cheesesteak around. Admittedly, in this city, that's not exactly saying much. But that's alright. I'll be stopping here again in the future. On another note, the bacon cheese fries are excellent. Though they probably took a few years off my life, and my arteries are probably still upset with me, I can't deny that I loved them. Crisp, consistent, and no grease. It almost makes the trade-off worth it. read more

The food is pretty good, but do not order from here unless you want your food to be totally wrong when it's delievered. This has happened to me 5 out of the 8 times I have order from here within the year. Probably won't order from here again. read more

I live down the street from this place and wish for nothing more than for it to be better. I was excited to hear the items on the menu. I am a sucker for a sandwich with lots of abstract foods on them. I have tried The Student and The Professor on multiple occasions. Every time I just wish they had a different sauce on them and more of it. The sandwiches are dry and lacking in flavor. If you ask them to put more sauce on (which I did after the first time), they charge you extra. I dig the creativity but it is lacking in everything else. The wait is also ridiculous. It takes almost 20 mins each time I've been there for them to make the sandwich even if there's no one else there. Not to mention the people who work there are rude. read more

I've been getting sandwiches here since college and the food has never once disappointed me. Everything I've tried has been great and one would be hard pressed to not be able to find something they like here. Definitely worth a stop whenever in South Oakland. read more

I've heard good things about Campus Deli and I was excited to try them when I was visiting Oakland. I placed an order for delivery: 2 sandwiches and 1 order of fries. The order was 2 hours late and ice cold. When the order arrived the delivery girl sat in her car and texted me to come out and get it. Be sure to have your oven ready for reheating your food when it arrives. Also, make sure to order a pizza to snack on while you wait -- (like we did). read more

Great food, quick and easy, only bad part is no dining inside, take out only. If you're drinking at Bootleggers across the street this place is nice cause they're open late! read more

this establishment said "free delivery" and they did not do free delivery. i kept calling and they didn't answer me! too busy! also food is sub par read more

Want your order to be late every time? 2/2 orders, both over an hour late. College kids that have no concept of time management. Participation trophies breed this incompetency. Avoid at all costs. read more

You'll be hard pressed to find a better sandwich in Oakland, especially one better than the Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak . Great hot or cold sandwiches and tons of options to choose from. A little pricey but well worth spending those hard earned pennies on. Oh yeah....they're open late night on the weekend and deliver as well. read more

I lived beside of Campus Deli last summer, so needless to say, we ended up there pretty frequently. The food is alright if you go during the day, but the quality of your order relies entirely on when you ordered it. Free delivery? Great, but expect soggy food. read more

4 years of eating here and I've never been disappointed. The buffalo chicken cheesesteak is the best chicken anything I've ever had. Reuben's are pretty good too. There are some cool creative sandwiches here too, a french fry chicken tender 1000 island conglomeration that is surprisingly tasty. The bread is fresh, this place beats the hell out of any other Oakland option for sure read more

Have never had a bad sandwich from here. It just seems hard to gauge when they're open. Tried calling 3x today to order lunch and no answer. Have walked there a few times as well only to find the door locked. Disappointed. read more

definitely an old school deli. has that feel. all their sandwiches (even a decent Philly cheese steak and im from the Philly area) with names of sandwiches like the frat guy, the professor, the freshman, etc. this plays well into the college town vibe. good prices. with a beer distributor next door grab a few cold ones and get food and you got a good meal prices are really good too. everything is less than 8 bucks roughly, and you can walk in with a ten spot and get a good quantity of food. they don't short your on that here. read more

Usually these guys have good food, but NEVER ordering again! THEY DO NOT CLEAN FRYING OIL/GREASE. Do not order any fried food from this place. I got mozorella sticks here the other day, and they smelled so bad. Sadly I actually ate one and the after taste was in my mouth for days! Grossest experience I've ever had. I used to be a regular but will forever warn people of this establishment. Truly dissappointed! read more

The sandwiches are so fresh and delicious, better than any other sub shop I've been to and they are fast! They can't be as fast when it is filled with people but it is worth it! They also have specials certain days. I've had the chicken parmesan sandwich before and tonight I got the campus club. The white bread is so good it's thick and fresh not like prepackaged and it really hit the spot. I skipped a meal today and needed food late and they are always open late which is so helpful :) They were also really nice and friendly read more

Just ordered a Philly cheesesteak and onion rings. Took 30 minutes longer than expected to make and when received the food was cold. Disappointed in the quality of food, especially for its price. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Oakland! The sandwiches here are amazing, I've never tried one that wasn't delicious. My favorite is the mascot it's loaded with chicken tenders pepperoni and cheese! Even there fries are perfectly soft and crunchy! A bit pricey but definitely worth it! read more

These guys are awesome! Food is always delivered quickly, piping hot, and fresh! Only complaint is that I ordered ranch with the loaded fries a couple of times now, and it always gets left out. No biggie. Check them out on grubhub if you don't feel like leaving the house! read more

Best sandwiches in Oakland. All of their specialty sandwiches are perfect hangover cures. If you're going to get campus deli, get a sandwich. Their salads aren't very good at all, but are salads ever really that good? The sandwiches are all around $9, but for me they last two or more meals. DELICIOUS. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Definitely the best sandwich shop/lunch stop in Oakland. Very delicious and reasonably priced! The buffalo chicken wrap is amazing! Perfect amount of spice and flavor! Highly recommend Campus Deli!! read more
