Pasadena deli with all of the attitude! We stopped in to grab subs while visiting a friend around the corner. Watched the ladies running the counter give just about everyone a piece of their mind (all in good fun). The subs are top tier, and generously stuffed. The counter has a few seats and there are a couple of tables, but not a ton of room in the eclectically decorated dining area. Decent lot size for parking. read more

Great business, love a little small place but deserves bigger. Because it small space it keeps it family and local which I love. Food was amazing the sandwich had all types of styles. The ladies that run the place are amazing too. They work fast and very kind. If you're in Pasadena go check it out. read more

On a pinch for time I stopped by Lisa's on a weekday wanting a simple meal. Tuna on toasted rye with crust, tomatoes and raw onion. Something about simple sandwiches made with care delivers satisfaction unmatched. Old school sized bag of Utz and a can of soda for $1.50 more is good. I of course arrived right before closing time, so I truly appreciate that they still took me in and provided service. Hometown place and friendly staff! I'll have to come back and try the reuben and other sandwiches. Parking is easy but could be jammed during the peak times. Limited counter seating indoor but check out the tables outside too. read more

Every sandwich/sub I've tried here has been fantastic: Italian cold cut, American cold cut, cheese steak sub, corned beef Reuben sandwich, and meatball sub. If forced to pick a favorite, I'd have to say the meatball sub. It really is next level - the best I've ever had. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is inviting, but not fancy. Lisa's is my go-to place when I have a hankering for a sub or sandwich. read more

Would you like an Italian cold cut? This is your place! An Italian cold cut with everything with some fries and a soda on the side. The bread was nice and fresh and toasted perfectly. I'll definitely return to try some of the other menu items! read more

Lisa's is everything you need and more. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, what more could you ask for? Best deli on this side of the Mississippi hands down. If you find a better one, you're lying to yourself. read more

Enjoyed our first visit. Good meatball, wife liked her club very much. Phone your order ahead (we did not, no big deal having to wait a bit). read more

Came here on a whim and looked like a good local spot. I ordered the Italian with everything. Boy was it delicious. The bread was fantastic. Crisped on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was prompt and everyone was very friendly. Seems like they have a steady stream of regulars that stop in, which is a good sign. They have breakfast options as well. read more

Amazingly good Italian cold cut. Not your plain old bun like most chains. Very friendly staff. Only downside is the early closing time, otherwise we'd be here weekly for dinner subs. read more

The staff is always welcoming and the dine-in customers too. Hard to stray from the pit ham sub and today was no different. The ratio of pit ham to fixings is more than generous. I cannot wait to try something from their breakfast menu..... read more

Last week I placed my order over the phone for pickup. The employee was super friendly and made sure the order was accurate prior to ending the call. My husband ordered the italian cold cut and I had the blt on a croissant. We enjoyed both sandwiches. We also ordered a side of fries and onion rings. Both were fresh and hot. I also ordered two deli pickles, sliced. I love me some pickles and these were DELICIOUS. read more

Second time trying a ham and egg breakfast sandwich. The egg was brown and rubbery, way overcooked. The white toast was very, very white, no browning at all. The ham was over smoked and dry. The first time I figured maybe they were super busy and things went off the rails so I tried again. Both times were bad. This last time was the worst. Threw most of it away. read more

Great smaller deli, with friendly staff and great sandwiches , breakfast and lunch options for affordable prices , I'll be back !

Born and raised in South Philly and have been dying to try Lisa's. Finally tried it and got the Italian "sub". It's definitely different from a hoagie but I would get it again. It was delicious and stuffed generously with meat. read more

Lisa's is a quaint little Deli that sits right Off Mountain Rd. You should call early to order because it stays busy! You know places with good food always keep a crowd. Everything I have tried here I liked. Here is the latest I've tried & I was very satisfied with everything! read more

Lisa's is a great deli in the lake shore area. Since moving here a few months ago, my husband and I have been multiple times & like to get takeout for lunch when friends come by. The stuffed subs are a favorite of my husband's & I love a good Italian cold cut. Breakfast is also great! We loved the breakfast bowl with tots. You can tell this is a loved local spot & Lisa is always sure to put a smile on your face. read more

I've always wanted to try this place since I've driven by it for years, it a small little deli that closes after lunch- it had quite a few regulars it seemed. I ordered my favorite- an Italian cold cut- as I've heard it's "Pasadena's best" and was a little underwhelmed. It was good, not the best in my opinion. The fries weren't anything exciting and I wouldn't order them again. The staff was busy and to the point. It was a 30 min wait for my phone order during lunch rush. I would maybe come here again. read more

Not sure what you feel like for lunch? Go to Lisa's. You'll find something to tempt you

Ordered for the first time today Very tasty meatball sub and Italian cold cut. Will definitely be back! read more

I had a club sandwich definitely call a head of time they be busy. Wasn't a fan of the fries but the sandwich was good and fresh. I could only eat half. But you want something quick on lunch break definitely the spot. read more

I found this place one time visiting my parents in Pasadena. I wanted a simple sandwich, a few spots around them aren't that great so we are always trying new places to see if any place is worth their salt. This place delivers on the food. I always get an italian hoagie loaded with the works. IT IS SO GOOD. They have a good chicken cutlet sandwich and some others but every time I visit I am always calling Lisa to see if she is open. Some people aren't a fan of the owners "personality" but I feel like she is a no BS former New Yorker. If you don't know that type of personality you won't like this place. I appreciate, knowing what to order, getting the order in and getting outta there. If the food was bad it would be another story but the food is great, no BS, no frills. Awesome spot. read more

My go-to is the Italian with everything. It never disappoints. Perfect amount of meat and cheese bursting with flavor. Maybe one day I'll try something else on the menu. read more

This is one of those places that a lot of people see, but probably just drive by. Next time do yourselves a favor and stop. They're only open until 3pm so it's purely a breakfast and lunch joint. I was off work earlier than usual today and had a chance to check it out, and I'm glad I did. I ordered a cheesesteak and a side of slaw. They have a technique with hoagie rolls where they hollow it out instead of slicing it, essentially "stuffing" the ingredients into the roll. Very cool technique that really worked for me. Let me add that the rolls are delicious too. The ingredients were of a high quality and very tasty. The slaw was standard fare but still very good. I look forward to visiting Lisa's Deli again. read more

The Italian Cold Cut is amazing and the bread they use is everything! Idk what the crunchy seasoning is coating the top of the sub but it is delicious! The sandwich is generously filled with meats, provolone and comes with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle, hots and oil and vinegar I believe. Make it a complete meal by adding a can of soda and bag of chips for another 1.50. If you are in the area, check them out! read more

My go to place for deli take out. Great sandwiches and quick service. They are known for their specialty stuffed subs and Italian cold cuts. Whenever I have the chance to stop and grab a sandwich, I do. read more

These ladies are awesome! I loved it! Fresh & yummy. I can't normally do an entire sandwich but this one is gone! soooo good!

Randomly stopped here to pick up some sandwiches for lunch at the park. It's a tiny place with clearly a group of regulars. The sandwiches were very good and generously sized. Maybe a hair too expensive for chicken salad, grilled cheese, and ham but still very tasty. The service was quick and made to order. Looks like a good place to come grab a quick breakfast or lunch to go. We'll probably go back again since it's so close to home and has a kid friendly menu. read more

The sandwiches are delicious. My personal favorite is the stuffed chicken cheesesteak and my husband loves their Italian Cold cut. Breakfast sandwiches are also on point! read more

The Italian subs are delicious! We have gone here for breakfast and lunch and both good! The employees were all very nice to myself & my family. read more

Just picked up carry out from here and their customer service needs serious improvement. I patiently waited on hold to place an order only to be talked to in a nasty rude manner by who ever takes their phone orders. Customers should not have to accept an attitude because of your poor life choice to work in a carry out shop. Simply trying to explain condiments we would like on our subs to be talked to that way I should have chosen to hang up and spend my money elsewhere. Doubtful I would ever order from here again. The food is not worth the negative attitude their employees convey while trying to spend money in their establishment. read more

I'm a simple girl with simple taste. Lisa's is the best deli around, Lisa herself is so friendly and the food is awesome. This place is like sitting at home in your kitchen and having great conversations with family members. I love the Reuben's and we love the wings and subs. They have desserts and sliced lunch meats. It is a true American Deli that I love to sit and have lunch at. Highly recommend this deli read more

Lisa's makes a great Italian cold cut sub! Nicely crafted with good quality, lightly toasted hoagie bread, good meats, just the right amount of hot peppers, and the obligate pickle on the side. The footprint is small but the personality is huge. Highly recommended! read more

Everyone is the best....they have better Italian cold cuts then pastories did! I love this place. Small hole in the wall of pasadenas best small business! read more

First timer. I struggled over whether to give them 2 or 3 stars because the experience was good and bad. I decided on 2 because the bad outdid the good. The good: my wife said her italian cold cut sandwich was very good and sized just right for her. The bad: i got the buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was almost a mirror in image and taste to the dollar menu offering of a typical fast food restaurant like McDonald's or BK. No joke, it was on a thin hamburger bun, thin processed breaded chicken patty, slice of cheese, and sauce. No veggies or toppings of any kind! The fries were simple, bland, and small portion. When I was handed the bag (to go) with just my sandwich and fries, I thought something was missing because there was no weight to the bag... less than 1/2 a pound I'm sure. To top it off, my wife tells me she paid $18 for our meals which included just the 2 sandwiches and 2 fries!!!! No drinks. Seriously? And this place is listed with one $. It's only been 20 minutes since I ate but I feel hungry, empty, and taken for a fool. Assessment: Maybe I just chose wrong with the buffalo chicken sandwich. I recommend either of these changes. 1. Strike it from the menu 2. enhance it to be worth what you charge (larger, more toppings, add something unique) 3. create a dollar menu and put this sandwich on it 4. apply a warning label stating "you will be utterly dissatisfied with your purchase" read more

My husband and I were in the area shopping for a new (to us!) vehicle today. It was time for lunch and we began to search for a local restaurant where we could sit down and enjoy a meal. Well we found that and more!! This 'cute as a button' 'down home' 'friendly as your next door neighbor' restaurant is a can't miss on our next visit to the area. I had the italian (hold the pickle please - just like my kind server orders it herself) and Peter had the stuffed cheese burger sub with seasoned wedges and 'special sauce'. Peter said his stuffed sub was A-M-A-Zing!! (And he is a critic if there ever was one let me tell you lol.) Now the food gets all five stars and more if I could. Let me tell you about the kind people in the restaurant. We just met them today and we left feeling like we knew them for years. Like they were are friends!! We will definitely be back to eat here again .... you should too :) read more

They say that good things come in small packages. Well, this can be said about Lisa's Deli. it's a small place, but once you're inside, the combination of good, friendly people and amazing food (at equally amazing prices) means that you really don't need to go anywhere else for Breakfast OR Lunch. read more

Lisa and her crew are some if the best people in town. As for the food it's exceptional!! If you like Rueben Sandwiches they are delicious!! They aim to please and they do just that!! If you're looking for a great place to get Carryout this is it. They do have a lunch counter if you want to eat in which is always fun because the conversation is always great and they are a lot of fun!!!! read more

Anytime I'm lucky enough to be in the area for lunch I always stop here to get the cheese steak stuffed roll sub. It's a technique I haven't seen any where else but here. I would recommend trying one of these. read more
