    Italian Sub
    Uyen P.

    It was our first time visiting Paul's Deli and it definitely won't be our last! The sandwiches are great and made to order. We ordered the Italian sub, it was very satisfying and portions are generous. I'll have to try Paul's Special next! I believe we ordered with the owner or manager, he gave us recommendations and even added their Pasta Salad for us to try! Their menu has something for everyone, whether you're craving a classic deli sub or something more filling. The vintage photos and posters inside give the space a nostalgic feel. The staff deserves a special shoutout. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place has a strong sense of community. Even when it's busy, they keep things moving while still making customers feel welcomed. While we were ordering and asking for recommendations, longtime customers were chiming in with their favorites, that kind of experience is truly special and rare.

    Best damn sandwich I ate in recent times! I went here for a lunch break with my fellow Park Ranger. The ambiance looks like a Rocky movie with vintage menus and boxing/ sport pictures. The service is welcoming and felt like grandma's cooking brewing down the hall. I like the scenery.. A classic hole in whole joint :) I ordered the Paul Special sandwich, which consist of a ham and sort of Italian recipe in it. The vinaigrette is so good that enhances the whole sandwich's flavor. And of course a combo meal consist of a drink and a chips. This place is so simple and humble that I will go back here for more :)

    Italian small...remembered to take a pic halfway through the first half.    Very filling!

    We got the turkey cranberry, Italian and Paul's special...the all hit the spot! Very tasty subs. Paul is super friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like you are family. Definitely stopping by next time we are in the area!

    Get the torpedo! So so good! Chicken parm is great and the pork sandwich as well! Nice family place

    I was craving sandwiches, so my husband took me here to satisfy my craving. I ordered the 6" meatball sandwich with extra cheese, but it didn't come with the extra cheese--slightly disappointing. It also wasn't as saucy as I'd hoped, but still a solid meatball sandwich that hit the spot. My husband got the 6" Italian sandwich. The flavors were great, but he felt it could use a bit more shredded lettuce. The highlight was the hospitality from the owner, Paul. He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and made for great conversation. The ambiance had a classic mom-and-pop feel, decorated with soccer photos and trophy pictures.

    Great Place! Feels like a real Italy sandwich shop.  Boxing pioneers everywhere on the walls.

    Menu board as of my 10/16/24 visit. Ceiling tiles in disrepair and overall, a little messy.

    Working in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. I had a hankering for a Meatball Sub or a Philly Cheesesteak, and it was suggested that I try their Meatball Sub, and that I also just order a "half", as they were huge. It came with toasted bun, plenty of cheese, but the meatballs were a little on the smaller side. Also, the sauce was a little garlicky, but still tasty. They did have some good deli-style "Dirty" brand chips in several flavors, which I enjoyed. The dining area is not the most modern or updated. There were four tables and four chairs at each table, but also a lot of stuff stored in the dining area. The kitchen work area is a little bit dark, there were panels missing over some of the lights, and the beverage refrigerators were only partially stocked (less than half full). Parking is easy in the large shopping center lot. I was a little surprised, as Yelp reviews for this place rave about the food and service, and I thought that it was quite average. Maybe I was in on an off day. I would stop in again when working in the area to give them another try.

    See that right there? I circled it for you. That, my friend, is a good sub. The Paul's Special.

    The reason they call it a deli is because it's DELICIOUS! If you want an American style sub sandwich and you're in Westminster, CA, then you have to try Paul's Deli. I've eaten the subs from here about four or five occasions. I have never been disappointed. I like the roast beef and the Paul's special. This deli is small and unassuming. The decor is ALL boxing related so that is pretty cool. The staff is super friendly. And they put pride in their craft...crafting a sub you can depend on. Paul's Deli....There just ain't no substitute!

    Not a lot of places you get to interact with the owner. Paul welcomed us with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. You can tell he's proud of his business...respect! Wife was craving. Meatball sandwich and it did the job. I had the recommended Italian, both 1/2 subs and it felt like a full sub at other places. It was good. I like mine drenched in oil and vinegar so I should've asked but it was a nice balance of flavors. The meatball could use more sauce but (again we should've asked) but it was good nonetheless. We will be back. Great neighborhood sandwich spot we found.

    This place gives me NYC deli vibes, the service is amazing and the turkey sandwich was one of the best I've ever had! Bread is perfect, turkey and cheese was fresh and the veggies and Italian dressing on top was Highly recommend this place!

    Prosciutto Sub

    This is the best prosciutto sub I've had hands down. Perfect amount of toppings and meat. The bread is perfect with the right amount of salt. The young man who made our sandwiches and took our order was so polite and kind. The white pasta salad is so garlicky and I mean that in the best possible way. I'll def come back. The owner was kind enough to give us a cannoli which was just a nice touch and perfect amount of sweet to balance all the savory.

We started with the Calamari Fritti, which had a light, crispy batter with little bits of garlic that made it especially good. The Seafood Mafaldine was rich and satisfying, with generous chunks of succulent crab throughout the sauce. The Scallop Dashi Risotto was another standout, with plump, fresh pan-seared scallops and beautifully creamy risotto. And the Short Rib Gnocchi had wonderfully tender, aromatic beef paired with gnocchi that had just the right texture. But the surprise favorite of the night was the Mortadella & Pistachio pizza. The light crust, lemon pistachio cream, creamy burrata, basil pesto, and savory mortadella came together well. Every bite had a great mix of creamy, salty, nutty, and fresh flavors. I wouldn't have expected pizza to steal the show, but it absolutely did. The ambience is stylish and energetic without being stuffy. Our server was friendly, although the restaurant was busy enough that it was sometimes hard to get their attention. Overall, a great dinner with memorable dishes. If you want to go, don't forget to make reservations or else you might have to wait an hour or so. This place is popular!

As funny as it may seem, my mom's gestures must be universal as he understood when she was wanting a to go box too. So I've been here a few times and always enjoyed the atmosphere, but today was exceptionally loud. The gentleman that sat just to the table next to ours was a loud and animated individual. Being that my mom's wears hearing aids she had a hard time hearing over his talking. Other than that individual, the rest of the customers weren't as loud and could have made for a calmer lunch. Now as for the important part. The food was tasty and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My mom enjoyed her dish as well and don't forget the cheese bread. This is one place I wouldn't hesitate to go back to. Enjoy!!!

The restaurant was fairly quiet with maybe a few patrons inside. The patio had lawn chairs and bolted down tables. Not really a place I would've chosen but once we received the food and took a bite i didn't care about the chairs. The cheese pizza was so tasty, the mozzarella cheese pull looked like a commercial cheese pull. I don't usually care for cheese pizza but I loved it. We also tried the fried mozzarella sticks on a second visit, and those were just as good. It feels like they make their own fresh mozzarella. A friend of ours tried their chicken parmesan and devoured the whole plate. All in all, the food would definitely get me to come back. Also, they do allow dogs in the patio. This was a plus because we got to have lunch with our pup. We will definitely be back to try other things on their menu.
