My sister ordered a surprise bag from PJ's deli on "Food to Go". Got to PJ's and the owners son said, " Oh, I didn't see the order". He didn't have anything prepared so he gave her a bag of bread butts and said she could take it home and make bread pudding out of it. We will not be ordering anything from them again! read more

Found this by accident been coming around here for 10 years. Best pastrami sandwich I've had in a long time very lean cheese was melted. And the bread was outstanding. Great customer service. read more

Tried coming here a couple times just to give them a chance, but there are MUCH better alternatives close by. Skip PI's, go to Bread Board or South Coast Specialty Foods. PJ's uses pre-sliced ingredients, so cannot accommodate requests like light or thinly sliced tomato. They charge more than their listed prices. Service is a mixed bag, some people pleasant others rude. The decor is also strange, from Star Wars to pictures of what I assume to be the owner skydiving. Also, they were out of bacon. Note: the server listed on the receipt was nice. read more

P.J.'s Deli - Delis Near Me - Lompoc, California

Old school deli right in the heart of Lompoc. I go to PJs weekly for the delicious spicy mamba, the Raul, and the major sandwiches. Raul, the owner, is always busting his butt in there working the fulfill all of the orders with the awesome staff he has. Food has always been delicious and service is great. Don't forget the sides!! read more

Another day, Another Sammie. I'm at PJs Subs on College Ave. Very low key vibe. Sandwiches are reknown in the city for being fresh and satisfying. Students love it here. I ordered the Car Wash sandwich. The bread was soft, yet held the fillings great. Meat was good and the lettuce crisp. The one thing I wasn't too excited about was the amount of Italian dressing. My 'Car Wash' was too wet for my liking. Oh well. Tons of other choices. Enjoy. read more

Loved the original owners. Great family. And this place has been a local icon in a funky building for decades. There are new owners I'm told and this review is for them since it was my first time since. The spicy mamba is simply divine!! Sooooooo good and has already claimed best sando in town in my book. I'm going back until I've tried everything. A+ read more

This just a reminder for me to not come back . 2 slice a turkey and 5 slices of cheese? Luckily the cheese was good read more

I came here during lunch because of the student special and I was very disappointed. Come on, at least try to look like you're enjoying your job. I know, lunch might be a busy time but wow. The restaurant itself is nice, cool drinks. I got back to school and as I was about to take a bite into the sandwich, I saw a hair. I would've taken it back but my lunch was about to end. It was dry and the turkey wasn't all that great. I recommend just packing your own sandwich. read more

P.J.'s Deli - Hair in sandwich - Delis Near Me - Lompoc, California

Stopped by because of all the rave reviews from your good ol trusty neighborhood friend, Yelp...yep...the "help and yellow pages." Read all about the Tri-tip sammies and arrived to find out on that Saturday afternoon that it would NOT be ready till Monday...soo disappointed, heartbroken, devastated, and dejected...all part of the theme for the weather that was to come that evening...(sigh) Promised to come back early Monday to make an order, but my plans were thwarted by the impending storm. "Will get you next time Gadget!" Happy to have ordered the Lieutenant as a saving grace alternate, and might I say it will def get your ATTENNNNN...TION! Biting into that soft bread that is heaven in your mouth...love at first bite. "The flavourful pastrami, the intricate balance of flavors from each ingredient made it that more spectacular of an experience." said my tongue. Love the simplicity, love and connection with the community, servicemen and country this deli vibe gives off. Love the "student discount special" sign, something any former starving student would appreciate. Spoke with the owner (regrettably forgot his name, my apologies) briefly and complimented the delicious yummy goodness. He was very appreciative and proud. He mentioned this year marks their 40-year anniversary, an establishment once reigned by his very own mother. Wow! Lots of history here folks. Come by...Mondays (wink wink) and try this lil joint out. It will definitely leave a big impression. Thank you to the kind lady in the back filling orders, your smile is infectious. read more

P.J.'s Deli - Pastrami sandwich - Delis Near Me - Lompoc, California

I just had the best sandwich ever created. They call it "The Desmond".Genius to add cream cheese and turkey on a toasted sourdough. Duh! Where have I been. The person whoever created this is legendary. read more

I ordered, I waited. Then after a while the sandwich maker said they didn't have chicken. So I ordered a hot pastrami which he had to microwave, then I get home and it was not bit lukewarm. At the shop I offered to take a cup of the soup of the day to offset the $4 , being they substituted my order. The soup was frozen and would not be available until next week. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Ok this is 1 spot for sandwiches so fuck subway there blt is the best the meat on it is the best

Their pastrami sandwiches are incredible, the service is great and the owner is friendly and easy to chat with, while you wait for your sandwich! read more

Sorry to say I won't be visiting PJ's again anytime soon. I was craving a Pastrami sandwich and waited patiently for my $11 sandwich to be made. It was BAD! The Pastrami had so much fat, it wasn't really meat! The sandwich was so soggy by the time I drove 1 mile to my home, it wasn't edible. I don't have money or time to waste hoping for a decent meal. This sandwich was probably $1.50 at most including all expenses and I paid $11 for what? I could feed the block in my neighborhood with $11 in meat and bread. Eater Beware. read more

Stumbled onto this great spot on a road trip to Sea Ranch, amazing authentic smoked tritip. Owner was friendly and let me try some before I ordered. read more

Tried this place for the first time last week. We moved to town about 1.5 months ago so we're still finding yummy places to eat. Well this place, is yummy! I love sandwiches & these are so good. The 3 stars are because of the front counter girl. She was rude & seemed unwelcoming. If the food wasn't so good I don't think I would be back just because of this girl. read more

Just got in from Vegas and was looking forward to eating at P.J.'s. We ate there a few years ago and it was fantastic but after today we will definitely not be going back. I ordered the California sandwich which says it comes with avocado but my sandwich didn't. The service was pretty good but it would be nice to get what you ordered. Also for the price of a small sandwich it's to expensive. My husband and both ordered regular size sandwiches with a large fountain soda and it came to just under $26 bucks. To expensive and didn't get what we ordered anyways. read more

I walked in and I could immediately tell the cashier did not want to be there. She seemed annoyed that I came in and ordered a pretzel . The staff that was prepping my food was not wearing gloves and she kept on touching her face and her mask was not covering her nose. The service is slow and took about 15 min for them to microwave my pretzle. This place is not COVID compliant. read more

Okay everyone, let's quiet down now and have a seat! I understand your excitement, so let's not waste any time! Ahem... I would like to welcome you aboard the fabled WABAC Machine, on loan for today only through the generousity and kindness of the incomparable, ingenious Mr. Peabody himself. Sherman, set the WABAC machine to Lompoc, California,1985. {=1985==== {========= {========= {========= {========= {=====2013= There it is: P.J.'s Deli... Family-owned and -operated since 1982, and it's still going strong after 31 years. Haha, yes, that's a Miller's Outpost across the street! Some places aren't so lucky. I was a pimply-faced sophomore with a taste for Boingo and a less-than-impressive "B" average at Lompoc High at the time. In fact, there I am--the one with the pegged Button-Fly's and Nike Air Force 1's--sauntering over to P.J.'s with my buddies! The best sandwiches in Lompoc, bar none! Uh oh, see the girl with the pretty smile behind the counter? She's the reason I got to know P.J.'s in the first place. She sees me. She already knows what I want: "The Margaret", turkey & ham on sourdough with everything. I swear I must have eaten an easy 100 of them, maybe more. Anyway, she's on it. I'm asking her to name it "The Craig" from now on, since I'm a regular and all. She always says "no"--for some reason my name doesn't sound as appetizing, I guess--but she's laughing anyway. That'll do! I'll ask again tomorrow. =] =1985===} ========} ========} ========} ========} ========} 2013 P.J.'s Deli...what great memories...what great sandwiches... "The Margaret", by the way, was designed by an aunt. It's no longer on the menu, but I've recently spoken to the family, and there is full intention to bring it back. I'm thinking of starting a petition to call it "The Craig", but maybe it's better--after second thought--that it re-emerges as is. Currently, there is no online menu, but there is a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lompocpjsdeli. Tri-tip on Sourdough, Roast Beef & Cheddar, The Joeboo Special, Hot Pastrami & Turkey with Pepperjack: I'm sure that these deli favorites have already made their marks as well, become a significant part of others' pasts...and presents. Visiting my hometown is sort of like taking a trip back in time, though. Thank you for joining me on this blast to my past on this way cool WABAC. I'd like to thank Mr. Peabody and his boy, Sherman. Nostalgia is a curious thing, I suppose. I hadn't been back to Lompoc in years, but I can tell you this: enjoying another great P.J.'s sandwich--in particular, "The Margaret"--is my priority. It's part of my history, a "classic," that sandwich. It doesn't have to change, thankfully. Some things don't. Maybe that's why we're drawn to them. I'm sure you have something that takes you back as well. Take a ride. =] read more

Awesome customer service and quick. Everyone is super nice and have a great menu to choose from. Best Sandwiches in town!! Weekly regular

Overpriced for average food. Do not go at LHS lunchtime. Staff was friendly and building had little parking.

I used to come to PJ's Deli back in the 90's before moving out of the area. My all time, go to favorite was the roast beef and cheddar with avocado, cream cheese, peppercinis, shredded lettuce, etc. Even after all these years, I still crave that majestic thing! In fact I'm craving it right now! A mouth watering treat indeed! read more

Best sandwich's on the central coast and their smoothies are amazing!! I will drive all the way from arroyo grande just to have a pj's sandwich read more

Waited 45 min for 3 sandwiches. Got home order was COMPLETELY wrong. This place have taken a nose dive ever since it changed hands.

I always go to pjs and i quite enjoy it to be honest. They are one of my favorite places to eat but sometimes they get my order wrong and today was absolutely the worst!! they usually get one of two things wrong witch is fine but it was unacceptable today. I got two sandwiches and they are not even close to what I ordered. One of then came with a completely different meat than asked for. Both of the sandwiches came without mustard, lettuce, and onion when asked for. they gave us both jalapeños on our sandwiches witch made the bread very soggy. I've never had a sandwich like this from them. I don't know if ill be coming back after this read more

My favorite sandwich/wrap spot in Lompoc! I've even called ahead orders before. Everything I've had there is amazing, and the staff is always friendly. They have root beer floats, shave ice and smoothies (new) which are all really good. You can make almost of the sandwiches vegan (just all veggies), they also have a vegetarian menu option. They also do military discount. read more

two things matter here - local and good! PJ's is family owned & operated sandwich place. No where else in town compares & if you are lucky, sometimes on Friday or Saturday you can catch them open late night. They have added trip tip that they BBQ on location and they will make things into a wrap as well. I promise you will not get a bad avocado here!!! A couple other secrets about this gem... they have the really good crushed ice & they have pretzels with a little cheese cup. PJ's also offers catering, delivery, & trays if you need too. regular sandwich, jumbo soda & a bag of chips will run you about $9 bucks. read more

Outstanding sandwiches! Ive been told subway callS their employees "sandwich artists". I can assure you the *TRUE* sandwhich artist work at PJs Deli!!! This is their craft and they take true pride in it!!! I havent been to PJs Deli since 2014. I was feeling nostalgic today and went over to buy a sandwich..... omg.... I can not express enough how incredibly perfect it was. I literally bought "the perfect" with roastbeef. Im disappointed in myself that I havent been back since 2014! Ill soon, once again, be a regular! This is a locally owned Deli that is very loved my those born and raised in Lompoc! If you are visiting Lompoc and are looking for an incredible sandwhich- GO TO PJS DELI!! read more

I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars... A few days ago, I was in the area and in need of a quick lunch spot. I jumped on Yelp and found this deli. After reading the menu, I chose the Lieutenant sandwich, consisting of: hot pastrami, melted provolone, cream cheese, mayo, avocado, lettuce and olives. The sandwich was served on your super market variety french roll -- not the kind from the deli, but the six little soft ones you get in the plastic bag -- the amount of pastrami was pathetic, literally a three slices, a ton of lettuce and two slivers of avocado. For such high recommendations, this place really underperformed and left me leaving hungry and underwhelmed. I'd suggest something else for lunch if in the area. 2-stars: "Meh, I've experienced better." read more

This was my main craving while pregnant with my son. Everything on the menu that I have tried is delicious! My favorite sandwich is The Major, the pretzel with cheese is yummy, and the potato salad is legitimately the best I have ever had! Everyone in my family loves it! Their delivery option is super helpful when I'm at work, and several of my coworkers usually order with me! read more

I dont give out many 5 star ratings. But P.J's deserves this. Frist the food is good. You get just enough to fill you up and not wanting more. I got the deluxe sandwich. Its just messy enough to enjoy and still walk away clean after. Next is the environment, the staff is very friendly and up on whats happening in the community. This is an all around good place to eat. If your ever driving through lompoc, make sure to stop by. They are located behind jack in the box. Last, the cherry on top is that they have free WiFi. I will be coming back more often and i think you should too. read more

I'm a huge fan of PJ's! I'm not a native Lompoc-ian but my bf is and when he took me here a few years ago, I was so delighted at how fresh the ingredients were and how friendly the staff was. We recently moved back to Lompoc and I was so glad that they're still here and still making their fresh subs with a smile! I especially love their Italian dressing that they offer on their subs and I'll admit that I'll ask for extra to use with other food at home! It's not too oily or vinegar-y and still has a lot of flavor that makes it so you don't need to smother the bread with mayo or other heavier dressing. Yes, parking is a little complicated, what with the car wash next door...but I have no problem parking on the street. Especially if you're just stopping in to take your sammich to go - they can get your order done real quick. read more

I agree with someone that posted last year. We were in town on a business trip and decided to give this place a shot cuz of the good reviews. This is a great place for high school students if they don't want school lunch to come here. Average sandwiches. No special twist in them. Same thing if you made them at home. I support small businesses but they got to have something about them that bring you back for more. I'll be nice and just say it's a place for high school students. Would make sense because the high school is across the street. Still hungry after my meal though lol. read more

We all hear the saying "a great little hole in the wall" but few ever live up to the saying. Pj's Deli is one such shop that does, with a list of sandwiches that are named after the Military town you can find it in. It offers a quiet atmosphere with all the feeling of a mom and pop's deli. It's a must have for the local or someone just passing through. read more
