This is everything you could hope for from an old-school deli. It was great to see a place like this, with so much old-world charm, thriving in a trendy, gentrified neighborhood. We split an industrial sub with a side of potato salad and tiramisu. The sandwiches are served hot, which was a fun surprise. I appreciated how they plated and delivered our meals separately. The tiramisu may have been in the cooler too long -- it was frozen -- but we still enjoyed it. read more

Overall a positive experience, although the subs didn't quite hit as much as we were hoping for. We got the Industrial and Smoked Turkey. Both good, although I wish there was a little more meat on each (especially the turkey one). Sometimes I'm sketched out with mayo on a sandwich but it turned out really good on the smoked turkey because it's a hot sub so the mayo melted a little bit. Staff was super friendly, especially Jeff, and there was way more seating than we expected. Love the outside tables too so pups can join. Jeff did say that we could modify any sub or build our own - I think I'll do that next time to customize to my specific taste interests. read more

I've been eating here for probably ten years. This is the sandwich shop of Richmond. It's not some Southern cute little thing with some new way to make deviled eggs. This is a real sandwich shop. That basil and mozz sandwich with all their secrets in it on a hoagie roll is amazing and I'm not one to eat meatball subs anywhere, except here. They are a true sandwich shop - wonderful read more

Coppola's has a great selection of sandwiches. The inside is a nostalgic feel and the staff is very friendly. The mediterranean magic sandwich is delicious. They are a bit pricey for the size, but this a great spot to go in Carytown if you'd like a sandwich and soda! read more

As expected, the staff was helpful and friendly, the ambiance circa 1970, and the food was the Coppola's standard: amazing. This is, in my humble opinion, the best sandwich shop in central Virginia. The Industrial Sub is our go to sub. read more

Small but mighty. Despite there being a line, it moved very quickly. The sandwiches were great. It's a little pricey and doesn't include a side BUT they are great sandwiches and I love that they avoid seed oils and MSG. Definitely will be back. read more

Coppola's Deli - Magic Mediterranean Magic Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Flavorless, small portions, poor quality bread, meats, and cheese. Not to mention overpriced and overhyped. $51 for 2 sandwiches, 2 can drinks, and chips. Living in Los Angeles, Nashville, NYC, this is normal prices, but it's actually good. I am shocked so many people like it, but the bread was hard, even. Richmond is NOT a 'foodie' town, no matter how hard people try to make it so. I'm sorry I ever came here. read more

The sandwiches are delicious and of good quality, but they're quite pricey for the size. The staff is nice, and I like the grilled smoked turkey. read more

WHERES THE MEAT I will stick with Jersey Mike's. Extra high pricing for minimum satisfaction. We went out to eat less than 2 hours of eating here. Waste of money. read more

Will certainly stop in here again on my next trip to Richmond. Very cozy neighborhood deli with friendly staff. I tried out the industrial which did not disappoint and the potato salad which I really enjoyed. Also, ordered was the spaghetti in meatballs, which was a good size but the sauce looked watery and I personally wouldn't get. I can't recall what the third sandwich was called but was also super tasty. read more

So glad to have had an opportunity to stop in here. In business for over 42 years, they know what they are doing. Their Mediterranean sandwich and pesto pasta are absolutely amazing! Don't miss out on having a crème brûlée, especially the ones with fruit compote on top, as they are life-changing. Warning; this is an historic building, so the bathrooms were not exactly ADA compliant . read more

One of a kind spot. I know now why it's been a 40+ year staple in Richmond. Old-style reliable deli that doesn't seem like it has missed a beat since it first opened. Truly never had anything like the Cheese Colombo - think the cheese-equivalent of burnt ends - but in a sandwich?! Like how cool is that. So incredibly crispy with the most delectable of fillings (i.e. peppers) that gave such a surprising counter-taste to the rest of the ingredients... seriously, it was just incredible. Every bite took me on a trip. Pesto pasta salad was solid too - reminds me of the side dishes my family used to take home in bulk from our local deli back in Cleveland. Service was quick and respectable. Will be going here many many more times over the next few years - I am sure of it. read more

I've been meaning to try this place so I was in the neighborhood and finally gave it a try. I ordered my food online which was so convenient and I got there when it first opened so I was able to beat the lunch rush. My food was ready pretty quickly. I ordered the Industrial House Special. With taxes and everything, it came out to $20 which is pretty pricey. The sandwich itself was a decent size but I don't know if it justifies $20. It was a delicious sandwich though. Bread was soft and warm and the ingredients tasted fresh. I'll probably be back again when in the area. read more

Cool spot in Cary town. Friendly and efficient service. Love the older interior of the deli and lots of different sandwich options. Stopped by for a quick lunch and was very satisfied. read more

Yum! I got the Italian hero and it was so fresh and delicious tasting. I love the bread. The servers were friendly and helpful too. Cute place, I get why everyone says it's the best sandwich in Richmond! Can't wait to try more. read more

Came in per recommendation of a friend. The shop is very small but has its own personal charm and style that I found very appealing. They have a laaaarge menu with a variety of sandwiches for all diets so I would say they're quite accommodating. I'll be honest... I can't remember what we had but it was all so delicious, I only managed to remember to het pictures after we had all eaten a hefty portion of our meals! The meats taste fresh, with great balance in flavors! Their service is fast. Staff is very welcoming, very kind. It's a great place to get things on the go, but if you're feel like sitting down, would be mindful it's not great for a large party. Maybe just with a significant other, a friend or two. read more

Best sandwiches in Cary town! A TRUE Italian deli with fresh ingredients and it definitely feels like everything is prepared with love. Whenever I get a hankering for a cold cut, meatball sub, a Reuben, or one of the numerous creations this places has to offer; I can't resist stopping in to grab a sandwich. Fair prices and always fast. There probably isn't another sandwich place I could recommend in RVA, over them. read more

Been looking for a great Italian sub in Richmond ever since one of my favorites closed. I've been wanting to try Coppola's so I stopped by to pick up lunch on a Sunday. It feels very much like a small deli in NYC which is cool and unique in Richmond. I was surprised by the number of tables inside too! It was busy but also not impossible to find somewhere to sit or stand while waiting for my food. The staff was super friendly and willing to give recommendations! I got the industrial which is their #1 sandwich, definitely like an Italian. It was packed with flavor and I liked how thin the sub roll was so I tasted all the ingredients. It was pretty messy and greasy though which surprised me. The fact that it was open faced definitely made it messier. Not the most memorable sandwich to me but I did like it! If you like Bernie's Subs in the west end of RVA then this is a great place to try too!! The feel of the restaurant was my favorite part though so I would go back and try something else. read more

We had a taste for sandwiches so we decided to check out Coppola's Deli located in Carytown and is a Richmond institution since 1982. I cannot believe nobody has ever told me about this place. We approached the counter not knowing what we wanted and the cashier was very patient with us. He offered some popular suggestions. The service was great and there's a small eat in area or outside seating if you can't wait to eat it at home. I settled on the Industrial made hot which is a traditional Italian Hero and it was the best damn Italian I've ever had in my life! The bread was everything! It took me way too long to discover this and I'm pretty sure I'll become a regular now. And if you are a RVA native and haven't been. Shame on you haha! Go check them out y'all and get sandwich high like we did LOL. read more

Just moved to Richmond and decided to explore the Carytown neighborhood today. While walking around, I noticed Coppola's Deli and decided to give it a try. I opted for the Industrial to go. While I enjoyed the sandwich, I think it would have been better eaten hot as the bread was a bit soggy from the ingredients by the time I ate it. I will definitely give this place another shot when I have more time to sit and eat there. read more

I have been searching for a good sub place in RVA and this is the best one! Super fresh ingredients, large portions, and well put together. I ordered takeout and all of my food was the perfect temp.

I look forward to sharing this place with my friends and making it a regular place to eat at! read more

Every time I walk by this place, my mouth waters but for some reason, I have never gotten around to stopping in. I finally changed that recently and my only regret is every other time when I walked by without stopping here. Stopped by with a friend during a shopping trip and we were both pulled in. We had the hardest time making a decision, but the super friendly guy cooking recommended that if it was the outside smell that brought us in, we should try something with grilled onions and peppers since that was what he thought was enticing us in. After some very hard narrowing down, we decided on a Grilled Smoked Turkey and a Soppressata sandwich. The super friendly lady ringing us up recommended Lilly's Potato Salad because it is one of her favorite things on the menu, so we decided to give it a try too. We loved the potato salad. It was awesome, perfectly flavorful and nice and creamy dressing. Very tasty. We each grabbed half of each sandwich to split and started with the soppressata and loved it... until we realized that we should probably eat the hot sandwich while it was still hot and started on it instead - intending to go back to the first sandwich... The turkey sandwich... I'm not entirely certain that it is legal to love a sandwich that much. The grilled sweet peppers are just a little sweet and just a little heat, the meat was thinly sliced but piled THICCC, the veggies are fresh... They even have a chalkboard sign naming where they locally buy their produce and bread and everything. We both agreed that we were ruined for all other sandwiches after that one. Luckily, we went around 12:30 on a Wednesday, so there was just to-go orders when we came in, and a few guys on lunch break came in after us, so it was not crowded at all, and the food was super quick. I will definitely be back, this deli is awesome. read more

Small sandwich for a big price. Decent but outlandish. New York would eat you alive if you tried to sell that over there. However great service and friendly environment read more

I recently picked up a grilled smoked turkey sub at Coppola's Deli, and it was an absolute delight. The sandwich features perfectly smoked turkey that is both tender and bursting with flavor. The grilling process adds a delightful crispness to the edges, enhancing the overall texture and taste.The potato salad was a little mushy for my liking, but to each their own. Coppola's Deli truly knows how to create a memorable sandwich. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this sub is a must-try for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted sandwich. read more

Coppolas is one of my favorite places to grab a sandwich in Richmond. They have a small locations on the corner in in carytown. The only real downside is they are really only open for lunch, so get there early. I love the fresh grilled subs, with peppers and onions along with the homemade sides like potato salad and pasta salad. I usually get the turkey sub, service is always quick and friendly. If your in carytown for lunch definitely check them out! read more

Out of town visitor. Awesome experience. Italian sandwich and turkey sandwich. Finished off with two cannolis. Best i've had in a while. Highly recommend. read more

Today was a $25 lesson that the best subs are Publix, Jersey Mike's, and Jimmy Johns in that order. My sub was so gross. I'm so sad about it. The bread wasn't even toasted on my hot sub. It was soft and doughy and almost rubbery. The meat was so tiny and it had the smallest amount of cheese. The tomatoes were literally the ends of the tomatoes, so small. It literally tasted like a hospital cafeteria or airport sub. Overall, it was half-assed and should never have been sent out. I am beyond disappointed and definitely won't be back. read more

A hands down winner for Italian Subs. They offer a variety of combinations with the Industrial and the Real Italian Hero being some of the popular options! I really enjoyed the older/vintage ambiance that comes with the dinning experience. Many awards are on the walls and service was fast as well! I definitely recommended this place to any sandwich lovers. read more

We visited Coppola's Deli in Richmond with our two little ones and were pleased to find a cozy spot in the back where we could sit, eat, and let our toddler be as wiggly as she wanted to be. The ambiance was relaxed, making it a comfortable place for families with young children. Mom opted for the Richmond Cheese Steak sandwich and absolutely loved it. It was warm, cheesy, and the bread was excellent. I chose the turkey sandwich with sun-dried tomatoes and added some hot peppers, which provided delightfully spicy, vinegary bites. My husband went for the Industrial, one of their most famous sandwiches, and he was very impressed. While all the sandwiches had a good amount of meat, they were quite small for the price. We found ourselves still a bit hungry after finishing our meals. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and overall experience at Coppola's Deli. read more

1pm Thursday 8/26/21 Very nice customer service. The gentleman that took my order was extremely nice. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich w/extra cheese & potato salad. Limited seating inside but they had about 5 extra tables outside. Who doesn't like to eat outside, right? The gentleman that brought me my food was also very nice. Unfortunately it didn't appear to have the extra cheese I ordered. No big deal, they took my plate and made it right, no issues. Ty for that. The sandwich was very tasty/flavorful. The red skin potato salad was ok. Potato salad is missing some seasoning. Maybe even a little salt would help. I missed not having a pickle on the side. Maybe y'all could incorporate that? I will definitely return for the Reuben and I'd like to also try the South Bronx Club. That's looks scrumptious! read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I really did expect more. I had the Reuben and my husband had The Industrial. They were both forgettable. $30.00 for two basic sandwiches, no drinks, and no sides. I really like to support local as I understand everything is expensive right now. The staff was very friendly. read more

This is exactly what I was looking for when I told my boyfriend I wanted a sub, but not your Subway or Firehouse Subs kind of sub. Fresh and quality ingredients and stellar service! One of the best things about RVA is locally owned and operated shops such as Coppola's! This place was such a treat and we both thoroughly enjoyed our subs. The sweet peppers on the Turkey Honey are to die for! And the bacon on The Rancher was still perfectly crisp despite being covered in cheese and ranch. Overall wonderful experience although you should note it is pretty pricy. I paid $31 for my two subs and a bag of chips but hey, it satisfied my craving! Definitely check them out! read more

as other reviews have mentioned, i see this place every time in in cary town but i've just never gone it. i'm glad i did though, because this is the best sandwich place i've ever had. the interior is adorable with the familiar decorations. it just reminds you of your youth. the staff was incredibly friendly too! my girlfriend that is argentinian (lots of similar culture values) said that it felt like someplace her parents would love. along with that, the menu options are amazing. it was so hard to chose one sandwich, but we settled to share the italian hero and industrial house special. both were amazing and had a sweet and slightly tangy flavor. the italian hero was served on a baguette, and they definitely did not shy away from putting on ingredients (i love a prosciutto sandwich). they have a different set of soda options, which are not pictured in this review but was way better than your typical coca cola. overall, don't walk past this place! it's worth it! read more

Can't believe it took me this long to finally try out this place from Carytown! My friend and I had just created a list to go venture through the restaurants of Cary town and this was the first stop to hit up. I'm so glad that we did because I have clearly been missing out! They have a great selection of sandwiches to choose from for their lunch specials. I decided on their Grilled Smoke Chicken sandwich and I have no regrets! The service and service were both quick and the presentation was amazing! It was Instapic gorgeous haha. The taste was delicious and I will definitely be coming back here for more! I can't believe for as long as I use to live in the Fan and Museum District - I did not grab their sandwiches before. I've seen pictures and great reviews of their Industrial sandwich and already plan on getting that one next time. read more
