Deli-icious is a local La Jolla deli shop serving hot and cold sandwiches. AMBIANCE Cozy, no frills interior. The exterior seating is in a charming corridor. SERVICE The gentleman at the register was nice and friendly. Wait time for pickup went from 15 to 30 minutes. There was a large group ahead of us. FOOD 3/5 Turkey Avocado Panini: Crisp and warm off the panini press, I expected more flavor from the staff recommendation and more sandwich for the $15 price tag. Comparing my sandwich to those online - I think my sandwich may have had less spicy mustard, less time on the grill to melt the Jack cheese to let the flavors meld. In contrast to my pick, my coworkers really enjoyed their sandwiches: an Italian torpedo and another on a French roll PARKING Street or lot I'll give Deli-icious another try given how much my coworkers enjoyed their sandwiches. read more

Deli-icious - The Monster, Italian Torpedo, TBA - Turkey Breast, Bacon, Avocado - Delis Near Me - La Jolla, California

Sitting here writing this as i eat my food because this is sooo good and my experience was great. The guy working the counter (maybe the owner?) was super nice and gave me some favorite options. I went with one he suggested, pesto chicken and my god.. the photo says it all. Sooo good. We also ordered some Macaroni salad, and then he threw in some of the potato salad totally on the house just because he wanted me to try to it (great vibes and energy and as a foodie i loveee that). I'm not even a potato salad lover but i took a bite of this and audibly laughed because it was SO GOOD. Pickles on potato and Mac salad?? I don't know if that's normally a thing but this was bomb and I'm so glad he had me try it because as a local, i shall be back! Pictures are worth a 1000 words, hope you're drooling! read more

We asked for no mayo, and still got it. Due to my allergies I can't recommend this business to anyone. It's dangerous. It isn't hard to listen to the ticket. Just realized we paid 12 dollars for a sandwich I couldn't even eat. read more

Great owner! Amazing food and service, I lovedddd the pesto sandwich. And it's a really cute area to eat at. read more

This place was so good!!! It's a small shop tucked into the alleyway behind Lobster West and other stores. There was limited seating so we took our sandwiches to the beach and it was a great picnic :) A couple of other people also came by to pick up pre-ordered sandwiches and take them to-go. He got the pastrami melt with sprouts ($1.50 extra), banana peppers (free) and jalapeños (free). I got the Italian Torpedo with banana peppers. Both were so good, literally 5/5!! In my experience, the sandwiches are on the smaller side compared to other places so I would say the portion is perfect for one person. I'm so glad I discovered this place and I would definitely go here again! read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Definitely recommend this spot for a quick sandwich/ wrap fix! I had the Monster and tried the Tuna wrap as well. The wrap did it for me! It's in between other establishments but if you hear the French music playing, you're in the right place. Seating can be limited, so heads up. Give it a try! read more

Blink and you might miss this little deli in La Jolla. I ordered ahead and my sandwich was ready on time and was fresh and delicious.

I ordered a custom vegan sandwich & it was delicious. I would love if they offered vegan meat and cheese. I struggled with ordering delivery. The Toast app was showing delivery as unavailable. DoorDash did not allow any notes, even though they did not offer things like hummus or pickles as options for the custom sandwich. They were missing on the website & Toast app as well. I was grateful that when I called they said I could order "for pickup" and they would mark it for delivery. They made sure I received the delivery even though I had to order by phone. read more

Deli-iCloud is a great spot for lunch and I'm sure frequented by people working in the area. Unless you know it is there you most likely wouldn't see it as it is tucked into an alley of small shops. The sandwich was good and the bread was fresh. I also had a cup of chili which was very good and always available. The service was quick even for a small shop. read more

I am always on the hunt for a great deli sandwich. I got the lumberjack and it was so filling. Quick service and cute tables outside.

From Chicago, looking for a sandwich shop in La Jolla, found this one on maps. Located in a cute little cluster of shops, we ordered and sat down outside in the alleyway. In less than 5 minutes our sandwiches came out. I ordered the Italian Italian Torpedo (4/5) which is an upscale Italian sub on ciabatta, with a hearty helping of mustard and very light Italian dressing. The size was large, could barely finish! Overall the ambiance was good, but the outdoor seating had a bad smell, like it was garbage day or something. Overall I would recommend. read more

Not bad! Sandwiches were pretty delicious and he didn't skimp out so my team was happy. He was very kind when I arrived and seemed to aim to please. The place is small, but a couple of outdoor seating areas. We ordered a big order for lunch and it was an hour until we could pick it up but it was pretty worth it. My boss liked the Monster but wants it on wheat next time. :) read more

I ordered Italian deli and it was absolute delish! No pun intended the owner was super accommodating to my family who are super picky. Also, the ciabatta bread is super fresh and soft so that's a huge huge plus in my book! I would definitely go back! read more

Some of the best sandwiches we've had! I got the tuna melt and my husband got the turkey & avocado, both on wheat bread. They were surprisingly worth the wait (and lack of parking)! read more

The location of this restaurant is cool, nice tucked away alleyway, but the food was not "delicious". We got the lumberjack and reuben. The lumberjack was decent, the reuben was terrible, not much taste or flavor... very bland. And the center meat was a little cold, maybe microwaved? The service was really good. read more

Tucked away down an alleyway of sorts with other small businesses and restaurants, I found deli-icious based on yelp reviews and am here to affirm all the positive ones- got the turkey avocado panini which was absolutely delicious and my mom got the caprese salad which was so refreshing and had a heart amount of fresh mozzarella! Very affordable and one of the best sandwiches I've had in so cal! Only a few seats outside but wasn't too busy when we went on a Saturday- would also be good to grab and take to go to the beach read more

Food: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Walking through downtown La Jolla and was craving a sandwich break before we hit the beach. Came by this small deli tucked away in an alley way off the main street, and reminded me of the one-off delis in NYC. We got the reuben and a turkey club. Good quick lunch, but nothing mind blowing. Sweet and friendly service, felt small business-y and home-y. read more

Deli-icious - Rueben Sandwich - Delis Near Me - La Jolla, California

Looked for a yummy quick sandwich spot on our way to the beach. Order took 40 minutes from time placed until we received our order. When we first walked in, we had to wait over 5 minutes to even get helped. The caprese was ordered without cheese, yet we were not informed that the pesto was basically all Parmesan cheese- so we were unable to even eat it. Actually ended up having to spit it out because there was so much Parmesan cheese on it. The turkey panini wasn't grilled, it was given as a cold sandwich. We are so disappointed that we have to go get food somewhere else. read more

Soooo amazing. The man at the front was so kind and helpful. Hes the one that recommended the turkey avocado and he was NOT wrong. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in San Diego and will be back again for more. He checked on us regularly and even gave us chocolates!! Anyways, 10/10. read more

My review is only based on a Chef Salad. All the sandwiches look good in the photos but I would describe the Chef salad as the most basic thing you could make and still call it a Chef Salad. Technically it is exactly as the menu says, so I take the blame on ordering this. Additionally, I ordered a side of egg salad and it's basically egg soup. What made it even worse is there is cracked pepper in it but because it's so soupy the pepper created a texture I would describe as eating pudding with beach sand sprinkled in. read more

Great sandwiches and small business. Takes a little bit to get the food but the definitely worth it because it's so good and made to order!

I've had plenty of sandwiches in my time, but this turkey panini? Life-changing. Perfectly grilled ciabatta, smoky, juicy turkey, and cheese so perfectly melted it should be illegal. And the sauce--tangy, sweet, with a hint of spice--was pure magic. One bite, and time slowed. The sun shone brighter. Birds sang. I swear, this panini didn't just feed me--it transformed me. If you ever get the chance to experience something this divine, don't hesitate. Your soul will thank you. read more

We drove from LA for La Jolla Cove during Thanksgiving break. Found this little gem because we needed to pack some food for driving back to LA. I ordered Lumberjack, chicken, egg & cheese bagel, and TBA. They are sooo delicious!!! And the owner and chef are very sweet! Thank you so much for the water and gummies for my kids. They were waiting in the car with dad. They were so happy that not only enjoyed the best sandwiches, but also the sweet little gifts from a "mysterious" nice store owner. Thanks for making us such beautiful memory of this thanksgiving holiday. We will miss the tasty sandwiches and we will definitely come back! read more
