    6/26/26 D'Onza's Old World Deli Upland, CA...Stopped by here for the 1st time with my great friend Nat of over 25 years. What a pleasant surprise! I should have come here sooner! I had the Brooklyn grinder cold sandwich and he had the Spaghetti & meatballs with garlic bread. My sandwich was great and their food presentation was excellent! The cashier guy was cool and Jason was so nice, wonderful employees! Very clean restaurant inside and outside. Definitely will be back again! Highly recommend!!!

    Meatball Hot Sandwich
    Brian V.

    Italian deli with a classic vibe to it. It's family owned and operated and is located in a strip mall in Upland. It's a classic deli in that it has a good menu of different sandwiches along with prepared foods (and it seems like one of their specialties here is 'broasted chicken'. I came in during a late afternoon one day and was unsure if I wanted a sandwich, the chicken, or one of their prepared dishes. The folks here are very, very friendly. You can see that they have real pride in their place and the food. I think I met the owner and he was just as friendly as can be. He was telling me about the usual favorites and the meatball sandwich sounded really good. The meatball sandwich was a good size and it was very very delicious. For sure did not disappoint. I really wanna come back and try their chicken or even just grab stuff from the deli counter. This place is a gem.

    Definitely one of the best hole in a wall spot I ever been :) This place reminds me of being in New York.. every vibe is Brooklyn all over.. the decorations and even the servers itself is NYC. The moment when I walked in with my dad doesn't feel like I'm in the IE. Their service is top notch cause they accommodate us through out our lunch. I ordered their Brooklyn Bridge Grinder, which is a classic Italian sub with their own twist.. Mann that was so good. I'm actually craving it right now while reviewing this lol. When I bite into it.. super hearty and pack of flavors from its vinaigrette sauce. My dad ordered their famous fried chicken.. I tasted it and damn no wonder it's famous. Overall, definitely a food spot to be whenever I visit Upland.

    Delicious sandwich, highly recommend!!! Ordered some desserts as well. Made my mouth water. Place is a gem

    Eggplant sub
    Bruce S.

    Wow! The kind of place where you have it for the first time and just what excited because there's a new go to Italian sub that meets your needs. I'm a huge grinder fan. My favorite in the LA area is Baycities.. if you know you know.. with that said, the Brooklyn Bridge grinder is the next best thing I've ran into. We visit this area often so I look forward to having this many more times. The menu and all the foods along with the pastries look great. My wife ordered the eggplant sub and she liked it more than the one at Baycities. Staff was friendly and the place is a clean little gem with delicious smells that make it very inviting.

    Eggplant Hot Sandwich

    Eggplant Parm is the best sandwich easily. Don't make a mistake like me and try fried chicken here. Pretty bad flavorless chicken jerky. But the old school Italian deli stuff goes HARD Idk what I was thinking trying to be adventurous lol.

    Key Lime Tart

    I have to say, all the goods I've tried here have been really good. As far as food, I've had a sandwich here before and it was also good, but it wasn't anything too extraordinary. Solid food and even better sweets. I also want to shout out Jason, he is the man !

    Pastrami Hot Sandwich
    Carlos S.

    The pastrami tasted like it came straight from the old world but with fresh, modern flavors. It was sliced incredibly thin and paired perfectly with the melted cheese. The service was professional, warm, and very welcoming. We're already planning to come back to try even more. We also tried the chili, which was loaded with rich, robust flavors. Thank you -- we'll definitely be returning!

    .., their delicious ham & Swiss!
    Chuck A.

    .., my second round with Donza's and it was better than the first. I had chosen the pastrami sandwich on my first visit and the flavors did not disappoint, but for the size and price I was. My work colleague is obsessed with their ham & Swiss and cannot stop talking about it! So I finally came back and he was right lol. Their Ham & Swiss is definitely larger than their pastrami, not significantly but for the price which was around $13 I believe, I'd def come back for it. The bread was firm but giving, ham was freshly sliced and savory, the Swiss was a nice touch, the thinly sliced pickles were definitely the cherry on top of this beautiful deli morsel of goodness. I can still taste the flavors in my mouth and it makes me debate on coming back sooner lol, thank you Donza's!

    This location is off the 10 fwy exit mountain ave. Walking In the door you catch the Italian aroma of fresh pizza, hot sandwiches and Rib eye steaks !! Service is great! They also offer an array of hot soups pizza by the slices and wholes pizza for the family! There are also lots of cold pasta salads to choose from. I definitely recommend coming here as food is always fresh , hot and delicious !

    Brooklyn Bridge Grinder
    Eddie D.

    The sub was good. I love a good sub. It could have used a little extra dressing or oil but overall good sandwich. I want to go back and try their soups. They are really nice inside of there.

    Nisa B.

    Been wanting to try this Italian deli for awhile and finally did it. The place was packed with Italian goodness. From the super friendly staff to the delicious food. The place is a combination of a restaurant and a market. It gives you the vibe of an Italian market in Italy, clean and inviting. Would definitely recommend and be back.

    Pastrami Hot Sandwich and Meatball Hot Sandwich
    Brianna K.

    One of my favorite spots to eat! Everything here is so good. The pastrami sandwich and meatball sub is always a go-to order for us but the beer battered fish fridays are also great!

If you're looking for some of the best eats you've ever had ... I literally drive all the way from the SFV to come to this place when I'm craving a delicious sandwich and the best chocolate chip cookie you can buy. Italian dishes made fresh and even to go options galore. It's like a boutique deli grocery store. Parking: small free parking lot on site ( literally only 4 spaces) + handicap parking. There is a lot across the street you can park at as well. Ambiance: Rustic, quaint, casual. But cute enough to have a date at as there is limited seating. Trust me, if your date likes some good Seating: seat yourself. small tables though, up to 4 maybe 6 people max. And cute two people tables for a sweet date. Food: Prosciutto de Parma with pesto mayo is my go to. I even ask for them to today it because I like the miserable melted. I'll be honest and say I don't like cheese... Except the mozzarella they have here, it's exquisite. Secret ingredient is there pesto mayo. It elevated an already tasty sandwich to an incredibly delectable masterpiece with the prosciutto slightly toasted. Turkey Sandwich: hearty and so fresh. My husband loves this. Pick up hair pink sauce and some fresh pasta too! This place has so many options to try out! Chocolate chip cookie: do not leave this place without trying their cookie. They sell out quick too so call ahead and reserve it!

Imagine the Soup Nazi but with less charm and harsher stares. I asked a simple question about the menu and got a response that felt like I'd violated a sacred oath. I half expected her to slam the counter and yell, "NO FETTUCCINE FOR YOU!" while banishing me from the premises. Still... the food is good enough that I might return. I'll just rehearse my order beforehand like it's a Broadway monologue.

When we finally asked a server that was standing close by but never came over until I asked if she was our server, we will just call "C" replied, "Yes, unfortunately." Not exactly the best first impression. Her next comment was, "You have 3 minutes to get your happy hour order in," which made us feel rushed instead of welcomed. As for the food, we upgraded to the Wagyu surf and turf. Unfortunately, both the steak and lobster were chewy. The wedge salad was actually the highlight, although I specifically ordered it without blue cheese dressing or blue cheese crumbles, and it still came covered in crumbles. She offered to remake it, but we're just not the type to send food back. We were dining with three other couples, and only one person enjoyed their ribeye. Everyone else commented that their steaks were chewy and had an odd texture. The desserts were very good, and the ambiance was nice, but overall it wasn't enough to make up for the service and disappointing food. One last tip: save your money on the $24 Old Fashioned. It tasted no different than the $12 version. Overall, we probably won't be back.
