Amazing deli! The bread is to die for and the sandwiches are definitely enough for two meals! A hidden jewel in Apache Junction.

Modest little shop tucked away in a nondescript "shopping center". fantastic meats and even better sandwiches, made with thick slices of homemade bread. God how I wish I didn't have to watch my carb intake!!!! read more

The sandwiches are enormous! I pick up my own catering which is awesome for an office environment.

Now this is what I call a sandwich! Fresh baked bread, extremely generous with the meats and cheeses, and the perfect amount of veggies and condiments. There's no way I could eat more than half, and I can eat a lot! Will definitely be back next time I'm starving. read more

A little dump of a place in AJ that serves huge sandwiches on fresh bread. Cold Cuts were all good as we tried a Turkey and a Roast beef. Don't expect much but a good sandwich, it's like you opened a deli in your back yard, found some chairs and tables and threw them out there. Just get a sandwich and enjoy it. read more

Had the Meat Slicer prepare party trays for my sons birthday today. I must tell you they hit a home run. The bread was phenomenal so moist and delicious. The meat and cheese trays were perfect. They separated the trays and there was 6 POUNDS OF MEAT. No one went away hungry. The meat was of very good quality and sliced so well. Loaded with flavor. I've never had a bad sandwich from here and now after this experience, I will never order a party sub again from anyone else. Please come support a local small business. You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped in on our way back from a hike and so glad we did! The sandwiches are delicious! So worth the wait. We had a large order ahead of us .. each sandwich was made with care and with quality ingredients.. fresh and very generously sized! Definitely will come back! read more

Not very impressive looking building but the old saying, don't judge a book by its cover. Ordered a meatball sandwich and while we waited could not believe how big the sandwiches were coming out of the kitchen. HUGE. Got my meatball sandwich. It was classified as a small and I had to laugh. It was very large but that's not what matters. The taste...amazing. Covered with homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella and provolone on homemade French bread. Like the guy told me, this ain't a pick it up and eat it situation and gave me fork. If there's a better sandwich shop in all of Phoenix, I will have to see it to believe it. read more

Absolutely the best Delight we have ever been to. Good service. WONDERFUL Bread that is baked there. The meat is fresh and abundant. All ingredients are fresh and tasty. We nominate the Meat Slicer as THE BEST DELI in the west!! read more

Amazing sandwiches with quality ingredients. They are huge too. You get what you pay for. I love the bread especially. It has great flavor, is super soft & thick. I highly recommend this place. read more

Wow! Went here for the first time today. The food was amazing and the sandwich was huge, way more than I could finish. The customer service was top notch. Thank you! We will be back! read more

This has to be one the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. Came here with my mom and got the Italian which was HUGE and so good, and my mom got the turkey/bacon and she loved it .It was so good I came back on Thursday for the Meatball, which was also Incredible. The owner is such a nice guy, he gives you free chips and he gave me and my mom extra meatballs simce we were sharing. Such a great place, will be back many times. read more

This place was an excellent surprise. Just before beginning our day sight seeing and hiking along The Apache Trail, we decided to skip the chains and try something local. We found The Meat Slicer and made our way. We pulled And and saw the tiny deli and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever. We both ordered the turkey bacon clubs, they asked are you sure you don't want to split one? "We're both grown men, I think I can handle a sandwich" I thought to myself. I was wrong. These things were huge! And delicious. We both had to have them wrap up the second half of the sandwich and we put them in the cooler for dinner later. The sandwich stood taller than my can of Redbull. Great stop! read more

[UPDATE] I don't believe Yelp ratings should be awarded for life like monarchs, popes and Supreme Court justices. So I'm knocking this place down a star today based on the "Gutbuster" pizza I just got compared to the one I got in August. That one four months ago was was eyepopping impressive and the guy who made it was really into customer service. This time different employees were blah and bored and the pizza was more like Papa Murphy's, okay but not too impressive and missing some ingredients. Plus there was some excuse that their delivery guy brought the wrong crust (so I guess they're not made in-house as I thought they were) and that somehow became MY problem so I had to pay more than the advertised price, but for less ingredients and less than stellar attitudes. That $11.99 pizza ended up costing me almost $16 bucks and that outsourced crust tasted a bit old. I'm not sure what the deal is in AJ, maybe it's a seasonal whatever-you-can-get-away-with when the snowbirds are in town, but I've got news for this place ... your store was empty on a Saturday night. You should be worried. read more

This was not what I expected. From the moment i walked in the place looks unkept and under construction. I asked how long they were here and they said 5 years. There were other reviews that were 4 1/2 stars and 5 stars. Sadly i wont be back and the 1 star is really more than it deserves. read more

Started to hit 4 stars but thought what I really wanted was 4.5... that being stated I thought they deserved a round up and not down. Splitting hairs! I had the #1 Italian sub. Not really a sub but a giant - absolutely huge - sandwich. I would say it is the biggest sandwich I have ever been a part of. As an East Coast guy I would say it wasn't the most authentic Italian sandwich but it was fully loaded and tasty! This was a bit out of the way for me but glad I made the drive. Don't expect much for chips (small bags with limited options) or ambience (none) but good guys making the samie and a sandwich that I could only tackle half. read more

Really great sandwiches at this hole in the wall deli. Everything was extremely fresh and generous portions. I would absolutely go back here for sandwiches. read more

I was looking forward to this as I drove into town for the day. I always peruse Yelp prior to a trip to find the best place to eat locally and this stood out. We walked in and the decor was sparse. A large counter with a couple seats and a very friendly owner who was happy to talk sandwiches. I settled on a speciality sandwich that impressed me by the size of it. Filled with several meats and cheese, I was fairly excited about trying it. To my dismay, I learned quickly the sandwich with all show and no substance. The meat was all store bought and the cheese was stacked on five high. The sheer volume of the sandwich can be impressive to some but the quality was what ruined the meal. The sandwich was too salty and a lot of it was unnecessary except the bread. I could have eaten a loaf of that bread. Aside from that, I will not be attending again. read more

Just not loving this store. Meats seems very salty and bread rolls are dry. You do get plenty of meat but the cheese is America cheese!

It could have been worse! No all kidding aside, it was very clean and the environment wasn't too noisy.

TONS of meat!!! The bread is what does it though, the bread is AMAZING! I ordered the Italian Sandwich, delicious.

Oh my GOD! Great sandwiches! You get a lot of food for $8.00! Next time in Arizona I will make a special trip to come here again! read more

This place is off the hook! A whole sandwich is usually 6 meals for me! Just had their Thursday only Meatball sub. It's the bomb! The picture is how much is left of what I could eat and remain comfortable. Try the Turkey Bacon Avacado bring a friend and split one. The bread is real deal too from a Gilbert bakery. It's made with honey for a preservative and it has a little sweetness that go's great with the saltiness of the meat. This place is rock star! read more

Belive the hype. This place rocks! Stopped in based on the great reviews and was blown away! I don't know which was better the sandwiches or the owners. Genuinely welcomed when we entered. Felt right at home. Hard to find a place where you are treated so fantastically and has great food. What a nice suprise . Ordered the Turkey, bacon and avocado on honey wheat with pepper jack cheese. (Check out my pics.) It was Incredibly delicious! Fresh bread that blended perfectly with the sandwich. You can tell the meat was high quality it has that old school deli taste. They slice it up per order, which is nice because its always fresh. I have a new fave in AJ!! read more

While cruising in the area My Wife, My Parents, and I decided to stop at the Meat Slicer for lunch. The sandwiches are legendary and I had see them for myself. Upon walking into the place we were greated by the owner who takes the words "friendly" and "hospitable" to another level. He explained the size of the sandwiches and when I told him I wanted The Slicer Works sandwich he said it'd be enough for 2 so My Wife would be eating the other half by default. My Parents followed suit and ordered the same. We each grabbed a bag of chips and a bottle of water and took a seat outside in the quite comfortable Arizona November weather. As I sat there thinking to myself..."one sandwich for both of us is gonna be a small meal..." the owner arrived with two plates and stated that he brought forks for the ladies as he turned and walked back in the restaurant. Were the plates in front of My Wife and Mother with huge half sandwiches the entire meal I thought? They were huge so it wasn't out of the question. Then the owner arrived again with two more plates with halves for My Dad and I. Now the legend of this place is crystal clear. A half sandwich, bag of chips, and bottle of water stuffed me like a Thanksgiving Turkey. In fact I felt like I ate a Thanksgiving Turkey when I was done. I'm a big eater and this was the first time a half sandwich put the hurt on me. It was around 1 in the afternoon and we all knew that this may very well be all the food needed food for the remainder of the day. The Meat Slicer also has Take and Bake Pizza. My Parents dropped us off at the Mesa airport later that week and after exchanging goodbye's I requested that they get a pizza at some time in the future and send me a picture. Any place that can make a meal out of a half sandwich must make a pizza that requires a forklift to move. Well, they came through and the pizzas were everything I expected. My Parents had positive things to say about them as well. I can't wait to try one when we're back in the area. The Meat Slicer was a great experience with good food, a friendly crew, and an Owner that cares about his product and customers. I highly recommend this place but you had better bring your appetite. read more

This is by far the largest sandwich I have ever gotten and tried to eat! Ended up getting the the Slicer sandwich to split with my daughter. 3 of us could have eaten it. The owners where very sweet and nice. I would definitely recommend bringing your appetite when you visit this great sandwich shop. read more

I read about this place on another post and wanted to give it a try. My hubby and I were greeted by 2 very friendly people. After a quick look at the menu, I chose the Italian sandwich and my hubby fir the "meat slicer". Oh mylanta, the amount of food we got was crazy. These sandwiches were so big, we couldn't get our mouths around the whole thing. Heavy on meat and cheese and light on the veggies (unlike other places). The bread is baked fresh locally and the meat is just piled on. So, so good. We'll definately be going back. read more

I took a friend there for lunch today and while they agreed the sandwich they had was great, they said that would be their first and last time. The lady working the counter taking orders needs an attitude adjustment. My friend asked for light mayo and light mustard and when she read back the order, she said light dressing. I commented it was light mayo and light mustard and she replied that's what she said. I told her she said light dressing which might mean light mayo and light mustard to her but it doesn't to us so it might be a good idea to repeat the order in terms the customer used and understands. I don't think she could care less. I ordered my sandwich on rye with all toppings plus horseradish but what was served was not on rye and when I brought that up, was told they were out of rye. My sandwich also lacked horseradish and when I brought that up, they were out of it as well. read more
