Just picked up an Italian Sub from here & it's delicious! The bread & ingredients taste so fresh & the Italian spread with olives is so tasty. If you're looking for an authentic deli, you have to stop by this place. Got some stuffed peppers to-go - they have regular & spicy options. They also have salads & pizza which I haven't tried yet but will definitely be back to try different things on their menu. The staff was friendly & helpful. Don't just drive by this place, wondering - go check them out! read more

Deanatella's Deli - Italian sub - Italian Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

Quaint Deli. It was crowded while I waited for my food. I was yelling at people in my head as they modified their subs! Eat it how it comes. Anyways, I got the Italian sub (because when in Rome, do as the Romans) the gal did offer to heat my sub and I took her up on it. I'm from Pittsburgh so the lack of Italian food in Cleveland sometimes, and only sometimes takes a toll on me. This was a refreshing find for me. The Italian comes with muffuletta on it. You know, the pickled vegetable/olive mix famous in the French Quarter of New Orleans?... My friend got the Caesar salad but with oil and vinegar. They also have coke products here! I don't drink much pop but when I waste calories on pop, it is only ever Coca Cola :) You can get pizza by the slice to go. The white artichoke pizza slices would've taken 40 mins so I opted for pepperoni. They put my slices in bags and I was on my way. I asked about the weekend hours (so I could bring my boyfriend when we aren't working) they do not have weekend hours. Gotta get here during the week YALL! It is entirely worth the commitment. read more

In my opinion, the best sandwich in Ohio. The hot stuffed banana pepper sub is out of this world - freshly baked bread, homemade sausage and sauce with melted cheese. All prepared and baked in the pizza oven to order. The chicken salad and pizzas are also stunning. We drive almost an hour round trip to get their food and every mile is well worth it. read more

Ordered a 1/2 sheet of pizza today. 1/2 had pepperoni and 1/2 sausage. My staff couldn't stop talking about how tasty the pizza was. I feel like this is a bit off the beaten path and a true gem. I can't wait to go back and try some other things out. read more

Jeff and his team were nice enough to stay open a bit later so I could get their sheet pizzas for a family reunion. 3 sheet pizzas and a delicious salad for a big crowd - all gone. It was delicious! Highly recommend read more

As momma would say: This shita good! Awesome pizza! Awesome Italian sub! So much meat! And wonderful flavor. We also had the pasta salad which was excellent! Sat outside on the large patio and it was a beautiful day. read more

Tried Deanatella's for the first time the other day on lunch break. One of the best Italian subs I've ever had! I couldn't believe the sandwich was only $10 read more

Their Italian sub is fresh & its honestly how an Italian sub should be. Classic ingredients no messing around! read more

Great customer service, food is incredible. Best to call ahead, they get busy pretty quickly.

I was working in the Independence area from out of town and read about Deanatella's on Yelp. All the great reviews are spot on and the food is amazing. I particularly liked the old-school local feel in that even though I was from out of town I was treated like I lived there. Excellent pizza and baked sandwiches along with the Tue-Thur pasta special. Great experience. read more

Ordered an Italian sub today after wanting to try this place for a long time, and I was extremely impressed. The sub was excellent!!! The bread had great texture and thickness, the meat and cheese were very flavorful and in a good ratio for the size of the sandwich, and the veggies and muffaletta topping were fresh and delicious-tasting. The price was also super low for the high quality and large quantity of food that you get, it's very affordable for lunch. I'm very glad that I got to stop here, and my only issue is that I wish they were open later in the evening and on weekends, but it's a family-owned business so I understand why they have their schedule that way. Overall, I highly recommend it, definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

Their bread is made fresh, which leads to a really good sub. I favor the Italian sub. I've been told they even make their own sausage - i''ll be trying this. The subs are good have all the right stuff and are priced right. The family really cares about the quality. They can be busy at lunch so order your pickup early. read more

I always get the pizza slices, it has a delicate crunchy crust which gives way to a airily light interior the toppings create a fantastic undulating area where the ingredients create delicious pockets of cheese, sauce and assorted toppings! read more

Tested gem. Guy runs a great sandwich shop! I had a great Italian sub today. He bakes the bread daily and although he says, "I'm no good with the computers" the positive reviews helped me find him for a late lunch. The price for a huge sub, chips and a drink are hard to beat. I was in town for a business meeting and needed a good quick late lunch before flying home. I'll be back for sure the next time I make it in town. I need to test his patio in the summer - looks awesome! read more

Fantastic lunch place. Carryout or eat on their patio. They typically have 5 types of pizza by the slice and cold Italian subs ready to go if you are in a hurry. You can also call in orders, or just order at the counter and wait. The pizza is thick square cut. The white is very garlicky and comes plain or with artichokes and roasted peppers. The red pizzas are cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. The hot subs are huge, stuffed with cheese, garlic, and sauce. Then baked in the pizza oven. My personal favorite it the stuffed hot pepper sub. Their sausage is excellent too. The cold subs are good too. Great bread. They also have salads, deli items like olives and stuffed peppers. And in the colder months they have soup read more

So this place has the most awesome stuffed banana pepper sandwich and pizza. The bread is absolutely amazing. Great place for lunch.

I had the eggplant sub with muffuletta, it was enormous and very good. My husband had the meatball sub and gave it an ok/pretty good. Next time he'd ask for extra sauce on the side . Service was pretty quick, next time we want to try the pizza. read more

One of my favorite places to go for lunch. Great friendly people. Hot pepper sub is the best, but all the subs are great. Never disappointed, unless I get there and they are closed. read more

Great food and a fun place. The owner and staff are super nice and always fast. Great prices too. Pizza definitely worth the trip. Their bread is made daily and the pepper sub is delicious. It's always clean and they have a fun patio on the side (open in the summer). read more

I must be the odd man out according to these reviews. They do a hell of a business here considering they're right next-door to a Subway shop. I'll get to the point. I ordered a Eggplant Parmesan sub sandwich. It was heavy, impressive, and huge in the bag. That said, it was absolutely horrible with no flavor. Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables. I have never experienced in my life a tough, stringy, eggplant and that's exactly what this was. Took a few bites and had to throw it out. To make matters worse while I was there they had in a cooler with day old pizza for $1.50 a slice. It looked good so I bought a sausage piece. Since I couldn't eat the sandwich I decided to eat this instead and it tasted exactly like raw, cold, pizza dough. Virtually all the other reviews say how great this place is. I wish I would've had that experience. Maybe I hit them on a bad day. The place was pretty crowded. Doubt very seriously I would ever go back here. Wanted to go to Ferraras which I know it's fabulous (been there many times) but a long drive from my house. Wish now I would've went. read more

Why go to Subway when this place is right next door? I love this spot, it's a classic old school Italian joint. Easy to walk to and walk out with your food. The prices are cheap and a million times better quality than the earlier mentioned establishment. read more

I have no idea how this place hasn't been reviewed before because it's incredible. It's in a tiny shopping plaza next to Subway and somehow people walk past it to go to there. If they only had a clue. There's not much to the place - just a beatup screen door on the front and one tiny little table inside. It's meant to be takeout and it's a deli setup. Anyway - the food is authentic Italian and you really need to try it. I get an Italian sub pretty much every time with this awesome olive spread on it. The bread is fresh-baked and honestly, that's what makes the sandwich. I mean fresh like you can eat a loaf of it with just a little oil and seasonings. They also have awesome pizza. It's just by the slice and sitting right out on the counter above where they have all their deli and side items. You won't be able to eat it all, but grab a slice or two there as well. It's a little heavier though. The dough is great and fluffy, but you seriously will be pretty close to full after one piece. While I'm not a picky eater at all, I'd say stick to the traditional pizza. Some of the weird stuff (broccoli, artichoke...etc.) sounds or look good, but I wasn't a fan. Reasonably priced place. If I get a sub, I'll probably grab two huge pieces of pizza for later too and it's under $10. It's a really, really unassuming place so when you see the Subway, you're there. But if you go into Subway and pass this place up (even if there's a line) you'll have no clue what you're missing. read more

My dad actually somehow found this place and treated me to lunch on the way home from the airport. I would have never found it otherwise; thanks Dad! We shared one hot pepper sub and it was more than enough food. Deliciously spicy, saucy, with the right amount of cheese (read: a lot) and served on pillowy yet crusty fresh bread. Didn't try the pizza but the slices looked substantial and tasty. If the weather cooperates, definitely sit on their cute little patio! The interior doesn't have much seating or ambiance, but the patio is really nice and has Italian music playing. read more

One of the best delis in Cleveland! Run by "Guy" Deanatella and his family (his mother is adorable and makes fantastic soup from scratch), this place has awesome sub sandwiches. $7.50 gets you a sub that can feed two people, and the ingredients are top-notch. Some are cold, like the Italian sub (get the olive spread), and the warm subs are made and then roasted in the pizza oven for 10 minutes or so, getting them piping hot. The hot pepper sub, made with banana peppers stuffed with spicy sausage, is really tasty and will get you sweating - they have a mild version too. The pizza is also great - try the artichoke white, there's nothing else like it in the city. read more

Great Italian sandwiches and pizzas. Perfect for grabbing a quick lunch. Impress your friends from Jersey with this authentic Italian food.

Had the Italian sub and my dad had the sausage sub. Bread is made fresh daily. Friendly service family owned and run. Both sandwiches were fantastic. read more

Friendly spot for takeout and a handful of classic Italian sandwiches. By all accounts, a better option than the neighboring Subway franchise. read more

This is probably the best Italian deli / sub shop on the south east part of Cuyahoga county. Our go to place for fast lunch time subs and pizza by the slice. Authentic Italian food right down to the optional muffalotta olive spread on the subs. Only negative is that they close at 4pm Monday thru Friday. Closed Saturday and Sunday. read more

I wish I would have found this place sooner. It is a tiny Italian take out place that had a line out the door at lunch. While contemplating the menu, a cook (the owner?) suggested the fresh eggplant. The sandwich was amazing. Easily a foot long, on a homemade bun. I've heard the Sausage sandwich with peppers and onions is amazing too. I think it was about $6.50 and I could have saved half for dinner. Highly, highly recommend! read more

This is a true Italian Deli! I'm not kidding, his Mother works at the deli and makes the bread fresh. Her Sicilian Tuna is to die for. The meatball Sub Sandwiche will feed a family of 4 with no problem. He has stuffed peppers that can be a appitizer or made into a sandwiche. He has Espresso, Homemade soups and salads. Chicken Parmesaen Sandwiche can not be overlooked. Now I save the best for last.....PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best Pizza in town! by the slice to Sheet! read more

This place is fantastic. In and out fast. Awesome specials. Great pizza & the italian "with" sub is delicious. BEST place to go in Valley view! read more

Oh yes it's that good.. Real deal italian subs! All sliced right there... Pizza is amazing and everything is homemade. Awesome lunch spot

Went here for first time. My work moved to a new location and I wanted to find a new pizza place for lunch. Great pizza! I'll be back...

Great little place. No seating available (just 1 table with 2 chairs), but very good sandwiches!

Very good italian subs. As others have said, if you like hot stuffed peppers, then the stuffed pepper sub is fantastic!

If your interested in authentic Italian food, look no further! this is no doubt one of the best!! Guy and his mom are the hart of the operation, the stuffed pepper subs and the eggplant soaked in oil are my favorite! If you deserve the best, this is it! tell Guy pappy sent you. lol read more

I love this place for a quick take out lunch. The veggie pizza is divinely spiced with plenty of garlic, oregano and basil. The crust is pretty thick, which I'm not a huge fan of, but this pizza is still one of my faves. They have outdoor seating but when I've had time to sit outside its been packed. I guess we all had the same idea on nice days. read more

Love it. Great subs...I mean great. Owner, owner's mom and staff are unbelievably friendly and they can cook!

Been going here for several years for the white cheese pizza during Lent, sure beats fish or pierogis. Great garlic flavor. The other pizzas are fabulous too!! Ordered a party tray for a large party. The food was super fresh, well made, and there was plenty for all. Very reasonably priced too! Try one some time, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I was! read more
