You know the food is good when you only took one photo at lunch. I have been excited to try little pickle since I read about it online. There is tons of buzz around this new eatery. We got the pastrami sandwich and the tuna salad sandwich both absolutely amazing. The pastrami was cut in small pieces which made them nice and tender. The rye bread was absolutely delicious. Each meal came with a pickle and a side of chips, which was a nice addition to the sandwich. We ended our meal with rugelach and Babka. Both absolutely amazing. We got bagels to go and are excited to try the Lox cream cheese, which has all the lox ingredients cut up into the cream cheese. It looks amazing. The restaurant, although small, was upbeat and fun. The staff were very nice and accommodating to our needs. The owner, Peter, was super friendly and showed us around his other new restaurants that are opening up soon. I will definitely be coming back to support and bringing my friends and family read more

Little Pickle - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ok..went back to try some food. Got a carved turkey sandwich which was much better than the bagel. Surprisingly, the worst part of the meal was the pickle. The bagel just wasn't NY quality, more like a Safeway bagel. The turkey though was carved and served on toasted sourdough with fresh produce and a bag of chips for $16. read more

The Matzo Ball soup was tasteless and the balls were hard as rocks. The egg salad is also disappointing. I would like to enjoy this place as i work nearby and like deli food, but I'm disappointed. The bagels are pretty good read more

The hand craved pastrami sandwich should be called the fat sandwich. All fat. Disgusting.

Ordered online, showed up to pick up my order and they were closed. Spoke to a manager who said I would get my refund the next day. I've emailed twice and still haven't received a response or refund. read more

Pastrami cheese and Egg breakfast sandwich is fire - don't let that poor guy BRAD with over 3000 reviews and 500+ of them a 1 star review steer you away from giving this place a shot. Who leaves a review for every single business they've ever walked in? Wild. read more

********Still a rough Gem! ******** Little Pickle is a small Jewish Style Deli (at the moment possibly moving) in the Esplanade across the street from Biltmore Fashion Shops. This is a casual order at the counter type of place without wait service. Most people do take out here. I was going to drop them one star because the brisket that I just tried was still good but not phenomenal with that really incredible burnt onion taste like last time. The brisket I recently tried seemed sort of over seasoned to me and slightly too salty. I couldn't downgrade them because the pastrami even on an off day is still many times better than what you'd get from any other similar deli. On my last visit I found out that the LOX IS THE BEST that you can get anywhere in metro Phoenix. Most similar deli places just buy the lox pre-sliced. At Little Pickle they make their own and hand slice it. The LOX is a VERY BEST of Phoenix. This restaurant still has very limited hours. It's next to impossible for some people to make it there (Monday - Friday only) You need to check for the current hours. *****The BEST Jewish Style Deli that Phoenix has to offer!****** read more

Little Pickle - Says open daily - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The real deli deal! Awesome menu and service. Can't wait to go again! And garage parking is an added bonus.

Service. Parking awful. Too noisy. People parking in handicap without plaque or license. Not for dine in at all only catering

Little Pickle has been open for less than a month, but I've been twice already (two days in a row) and cannot wait to return... I have three words for you: "The Works Bagel." Yes, I ordered this on my first visit and again the next day because it was just so delicious! Also, Xochitl was the barista behind the corner on both of my visits and damn does she make a good almond milk latte! The first visit I did take-out with my sis-in-law and the second visit was a sit down work breakfast meeting... The wi-fi was strong and Hailey P and I found it to be a perfect place to work. I look forward to returning soon -- likely to order "the works bagel" (because how can I not), but I also cannot wait to try so many of the other menu items ie: the overnight oats, chia seed pudding, matzo ball soup, deli sandwiches, salads and more. I know this concept is just a pop-up for now, but I hope it sticks around permanently, as it's a great addition to the breakfast / lunch dining options in the area. Note: as other reviewers mentioned, you can park in the Esplanade parking structure and Little Pickle will validate... easy, peasy. Enjoy! read more

Popped in at 7 am and what a great start to the day :) Never have I ever had SUCH a good bagel in Arizona, like wow. Let's be clear, this is the Jewish deli PHX has needed for years! The ambiance, decor, and vibe are all on point especially for a pop up location. Xochitl was super helpful, pleasant, & our coffees were delicious. Will be going back for sure! read more

I don't think I've ever left a bad review on anything, but I'm pretty disappointed. I work nearby and have been a customer at little pickle several times. Their bagels are really good! I noticed recently that they had matzo ball soup on the menu, which I told myself I would come back to try soon. Today I went back to try their matzo ball soup, and even though it says $10 on the menu, they charged me $15 at the register. I didn't say anything at the time because I figured maybe the price changed. I wasn't bothered... yet. I waited over 15 minutes for them to bring out my to go order (the lady at the register commented that it looked good today, implying it was already made). When I brought it back to my desk, I noticed that the serving size was only about a cup. You would think for $15 the serving size would be a meal? Like a bowl? This was no more than 6 oz of soup in an 8 oz container. Nonetheless I ate my soup, which was pretty okay except for the matzo balls. They were small, dense, grey looking and actually disgusting. They were not edible. They tasted medicinal or like chemicals... like there was cleaning product in them or something. Something was REALLY off. I even brought my boss with me to get soup and she got some too and was equally disappointed. idk man at least lower the price?? What the heck was that. read more

Been wanting somewhere like this in the area for years! Perfect for breakfast or lunch on my WFH days.

It's getting a very gracious 3 from me. The Good: Pastrami was fantastic and on point. Homemade rye bread, too. The Pastrami sandwich, a 9/10 for me. Bagel, lox and cream cheese (part I): Bagel was fine. Their custom cured Lox was excellent flavor and texture. Homemade cream cheese was deeelicious. Coffee for a dollar. No complaints on that and the coffee was good. The Bad: "Matzoh Ball Soup" should've been called matzoh marbles at best. Looked more like a jewish deli hate crime. Very small soup serving on top of it. Can't even comment on the soup as I was so taken aback by the rest of it. (see pic) Bagel, lox and cream cheese (part II): Compare the pictures what I was served and others (have posted they were) served. Or the open faced pictures set up for reviews. Anyone who's ever ordered a bagel/cream cheese anything combo knows that eating it as a sandwich makes a big mess because of the soft ingredients. That's why NOBODY eats it that way. I even asked if I could have mine open faced and was told no. And, as I said above, while the ingredients were all very tasty, the end result was a messy, unsatisfying mess. Location: Nearly impossible to find the first time unless you're very familiar with the area. Needs some signage from anywhere a car can go by. Easy parking (free valet even) once you know where it is. The OK: We tried a couple of the various pastries and they were nice. Would I go back? 50/50 right now. It's a bit of a drive for me and unless they improve the whole lox and bagel thing, it'd only be for the pastrami sandwich - which I'll reiterate - is fantastic and easily the best I've had in AZ since moving here over a decade ago. read more

This place is circling the drain. Definite AVOID. The food is reprehensible and the portions are let's say not up to par. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY read more

The menu is limited, but the food is fantastic! I opted for Pastrami Rueben and French Fries. The pastrami is out of this world good. The rye bread was crunched and grilled just right. Plenty of Russian dressing as well. The order of fries was way more than I could. Easily could have been shared with another. It is small, but most people seem to get their order to go. As such, we did not have any problem finding a place to sit and enjoy our meal. Will go back to try the bagel, lox, and cream cheese. N*joy! read more

Very disappointed in the two pastrami sandwiches we had they were very dried out. I have to say the rye bread was good though, but the pastrami was very, very, very dry. We also ordered one lox and bagels. The bagel was not fresh. The lox were very skimpy and my husband said not very good as well. That was a waste of $62 and we ordered black-and-white cookies that were not in the bag. We tried calling, but there is no phone number for a contact. read more

Not your fault? There is not a good corned beef sandwich between New York and Los Angeles! Sherman's In Palm Dessert is as close it gets from Scottsdale! Not really worth the drive. I just cannot figure out what it takes to make good corned beef? For those of you from the NY/NJ/CN Tri-State area, you may know that Harold passed away recently......Harold's- what a place.

The counter server here is sure to break down before the customer count does. A Lonewolf She was harried but hanging on by the proverbial thread. Don't feel it's fair to judge as it seem like there were literally only two people working...one cooking and one everything else. Was looking for breakfast food as it was about 10 AM and all I could find was oatmeal and a bagel. The bagel was, how should we say...a Dentist dream come true, as it was hard enough to take out three or four teeth in one bite. The oatmeal was very good...pre-prepared probably, but who cares with oatmeal. Will try them again, and as a sidenote, will bring along the heavy duty choppers. read more

When I go to Utah, I dream of Feldman's Deli for pastrami. Now, in AZ, I will forever daydream about the succulent, flavorful, and thick cut pastrami on rye that refuses to get soggy. An absolute taste sensation! I really hope this popup finds a brick and mortar home, it's the kind of place worth a 30+ min drive! (Altho I love the current 5 min from workplace distance). Sorry I ate too much of it before taking a picture. read more

Little Pickle - Hot pastrami on rye with kraut, thousand island and grilled. - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Popped in here for a breakfast meeting yesterday and absolutely loved my experience! I ordered a ham, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich and it was delicious. The toppings were plentiful so it was super filling. The bagel was one of the best that I've had in AZ! I may even call ahead and buy 'em by the bag full. I also sipped on a vanilla oat milk latte while working, and it gave me just the buzz that I needed to be productive! I ended up working from here until about 1pm, and they definitely got busy at lunchtime! They will also validate Esplanade parking, just present your ticket to the cashier. I will absolutely be back, and can't wait to try their corned beef and pastrami! read more

I tried their sandwiches during a catering event. It was delicious! I'm excited to go back and try their bagels and soup, this deli is a great option for a quick grab and go. They are known for their lox, pastrami, bagels and soup! read more

One of the best pastrami sandwiches that I have gotten in Phoenix. Hard to find because it is located in an alley of a business plaza but well worth it. I guess if you're a local - you know about some parking tricks, but not easy for us out of towners. I also picked up a few bagels to bring home because they are bagels, of course. Overall worth finding. read more

Tried out this neighborhood spot finally! Counter service with friendly young lady and they call your name when order is ready. Ordered the Asian Chicken Salad. It was very good. High marks for Chicken being cooked perfectly and being a decent portion. Mixed greens were fresh and two different types of Chinese crackers added the right amount of crunch: wonton and sesame sticks. Dressing could have been a little better but it sufficed. Overall would definitely order again. Other patrons nearby had ordered sandwiches and those looked delicious with a good amount of filling. They use ChinaMist for their iced teas, both green and black. They validate parking in the adjacent garage. Had trouble however getting out with their validation, but rang bell at departure station and they buzzed me out. read more

Little Pickle - Pastrami Reuben - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Read the hype and sooooo wanted to love this place. But sadly we won't be going back. We both opted for a bagel with cream cheese and lox, as there was an article stating how each ingredient (the bagels, cream cheese and the lox) are all prepared from scratch. Well we both left hungry, and scratching our heads (not from lice, but because we couldn't belive how stingy this place is). The bagel was fine. Definitely not the best ever by any stretch of the imagination. Small, too dense and no outer sheen indicsting it was boiled and baked as we hoped. The cream cheese was such a small portion and spread so thin, we literally couldn't taste it. Why make it from scratch and then barely add any to the bagel? But by far the biggest dipointment was the smokes salmon aka lox. Only a very thin layer covered ONLY ONE side of the bagel. The bagels were both served closed like a sandwich, which did seem odd since it was for dine-in.​ But as soon as we opened them to enjoy each each half on its own, we saw why it was served closed. With only 1 very layer of lox on a single side, they had to serve these meals closed like a sandwich to hide the embarrassingly minuscule amount of lox used on each meal. You may have fooled us this time, but you left no choice but to express our irritation here, and to never return. Taking advantage of people who try to support your small business isn't appreciated. read more

Matzo ball soup was terrible. The matzo ball was okay, but there wasn't any vegetables such as larger carrots, more dill, celery, and chicken. It was just broth and tiny tiny tiny pieces of carrot. Really disappointed. Fine chopping your vegetables where you don't get any in your $12 soup?? read more

I was fortunate to check out LP not long ago. Met a friend for a date to catch up on life. The atmosphere is very pleasant and perfect for a brunch spot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The star was my everything bagel with the works. I LOVED the lox. It was amazing. I am def a fan of this gem. Please check them out. I will return to get a pound of the lox! read more

Little pickle moved into the Esplanade recently. I was excited because we only have 3 lunch places. I went to grab lunch at little pickle the other day. I ordered a pastrami sandwich and a matzo ball soup. The pastrami sandwich was CLEARLY fresh...I mean cooked in a slow cooker, FRESH! And I think it was actually corn beef. It still has a little fat on it and it was JUICY! I NEEDED CABBAGE with it vs bread. The matzo ball soup, not good. The matzo had an unusual taste... Maybe peppery? I didn't like it as well as I think it was in beef broth. This meal cost me $27! Lunch here will be a treat. And no combos...a sandwich and that's it. The matzo ball soup was $10, the pastrami sandwich was $15. That's CRAZY for lunch! I could've had lunch at Flint, added a few more dollars for a tip. I am sure your rent is high, but let's not get crazy...matzso ball soup is not SUPER EXPENSIVE to make...$10, and it wasn't a good taste. $15 pastrami sandwich, though DELISC...That's too rich for my blood. read more

Im from New Jersey and love Delis. That being said I had a meeting at the Esplinade and was so happy to see t hi is new spot. Turns out it was one of the opening days so I expected something to be off but I like to give new places a chance. Honestly they didn't disappoint. The food was a 10. It took maybe a touch longer to get my order but that's just their newness. I'm going back for sure. read more

Got the Rueben and was impressed. Lots of meat, top quality everything. Will be a regular spot

Love that this place - walking distance from me - is here: great breakfast sandwiches, great coffee (and only a dollar!), great staff, cute decor and finally: super reasonable prices, ESPECIALLY given it's Biltmore area.

The photo in the advertisement is a teensy bit misleading- my sandwich was not that robust with pastrami HOWEVER it was absolutely delicious! I have already spread the word among my friends about the "discovery " of this new deli. By the size of the lines of people awaiting their gastronomic delight - I would suggest more tables and seating! The rugelach was not as good as others - but the pastrami was some of the best I have ever tasted! Simply delish! read more
