    I absolutely love Old Town Deli! It's one of my favorite lunch spots in town. My go-to order is the Southwest Chipotle Chicken Sandwich and it is seriously SO good--perfect flavor with just the right amount of kick. It's also family owned, which makes it even more special. Everyone there is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful every time I come in. You can tell they really care about their customers. And don't leave without trying the cookies--they're amazing and the perfect sweet treat after a sandwich. Highly recommend supporting this local spot! Super cute as well.

    Italian grilled cheese

    Yum! Upon ordering the Italian grilled cheese, the kind cashier excitedly told me that was a great choice. Boy was he right! Perfectly toasted bread loaded with white cheddar, ricotta, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and garlic. Even without meat, you'll leave full. Flavor was spot on. There's ample seating both indoors and outdoors. I also really like that you can order a 1/2 sandwich for any of their sandwiches if you don't want leftovers. This would've been a great option for me as a traveler as I don't like to have a slew of leftovers to eat. However, you'll definitely want the full sandwich of this delicious masterpiece.

    Tucked away in a small strip mall in Old Town Temecula, this deli was such a great find! I ordered the kids pepperoni pizza for my daughter, which tasted homemade and was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Italian sub on a baguette was outstanding -- the bread was perfectly soft and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. I also tried the homemade potato salad, which was light, airy, and had the perfect dill flavor. The service was wonderful, and although the restaurant is small, there was plenty of seating and it felt very welcoming. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area!

    Bbq chicken pizza is bomb!
    Ellie Q.

    This deli is a gem in the middle of our little old town. I wouldn't call it a mere deli. More like a mini gourmet pizzeria plus sandwiches. And the coffee! OMGosh! It's the perfect eatery when visiting the farmers market across the street or shopping in town. My favorite pizza is the pear and Gouda with blue cheese and honey. Drool! But the other pizzas are equally enjoyable. The BBQ chicken is great too. The meatball sandwich is delicious. I enjoy trying everything just to be surprised by all of the flavor bombs.

    Such nice & fast service. The sandwich was very tasty & i loved the vinaigrette on it! I wasn't sure about the cranberries but it added a really nice sweetness to it.

    Kid's Grilled Cheese

    Sandwiches were delicious! I got the Whole Farm and loved it. Next time I think I'm going to try the Chicken Pesto, as my friend got that and it looked amazing as well. The sandwiches come with a pickle spear and cookie. They have delicious sweet treats, such as macarons, brownies and cookies. Service was good and the deli was clean. They also have indoor and outdoor seating, although limited.

    The italian wedding soup , half eaten - sorry!!
    Amia F.

    Love this place wish they delivered to the south bay! Torrance , San Pedro and more ! Realized today they can make any sandwich a PIZZA! My husband had the steer as a pizza and I had the guiltless chicken pizza crust with half margarita and half Portabella! Wow!!! no word of a lie! My husband said it was the best pizza he eva! had!! Hands down!! We also had the cream of mushroom ‍soup and Italian wedding soup! both with home made bread on the side . OMG! both amazing and we couldn't finish any of it so.... for leftovers!!! and Hubbie got another Steer Pizza to go!!! You can't go wrong here and you meet new friends!! the other customers our now our friends! Love this place !

    Focaccia

    Second time here, stopped specifically to get a sandwich to go, continues to be incredible. I wanted the prosciutto dream but everyone else this weekend also knew it was going to be good, so I got the Italian, and of course it was great. Focaccia is a must. Service was stellar as always makes me feel like my kitchen. They changed the music since I was here last to more 90s, but I'll forgive the switch from ol blue eyes. You HAVE to come to this deli, I will be going every time I'm in Temecula.

    Reuben, subbed corn beef for pastrami
    Jackson D.

    I had an extremely good experience at Old Town Deli. From the moment I walked in, everything was top tier. I had a hard time choosing a sandwich because they all sounded amazing, but I went with the Reuben, sub corn beef for pastrami --and wow. Absolute 10/10, hands down the best Reuben I've ever had. The latte deserves its own shoutout too. It's genuinely in the conversation for the best latte I've ever had, which I don't say lightly. The owner, Lance, was incredibly hospitable and kind. He went above and beyond, even reaching out to a personal friend to help me source some high-quality meats and cheeses I originally came in looking for. That level of care and customer service is rare these days. Overall, this place is a must-visit. Do yourself a favor--grab a coffee, order a sandwich, and transcend into paradise after the first bite. I'll definitely be back.

You can really taste the care they put into every meal. They have so many authentic Italian dishes and products. I will absolutely continue to come here and support this business.

The sandwiches were bland and tasteless. I'm not a hard person to please and this was definitely food we ended up throwing out. $84 dollars wasted. I don't give second chances so I won't be back.

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.

    Absolutely worth the wait!…read more We had about an hour-and-a-half wait for a table, but honestly, it worked out perfectly. We used the time to stroll around downtown, do a little shopping, and enjoy the area before our meal. By the time our table was ready, we were excited to sit down and eat. The food was delicious, and the service was just as impressive. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well worth waiting for. Our server was attentive and friendly, and even with how busy the restaurant was, we never felt rushed. You can tell there's a reason this place has a wait. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and even better food. I'd absolutely come back next time I'll just plan on putting our name in and enjoying downtown while we wait! I completely neglected to take photos, but for once, that was actually a good thing. We were enjoying a true date night without phones or interruptions, just good food, conversation, and each other. Next time I'll try to remember the pictures! We did finish the night with the s'mores dessert, and it was fantastic. My only advice: if you're a dessert lover like we are, it's a little too small to share! Get the s'mores AND another dessert so you can share both and try something else on the menu. Such a great date-night experience from beginning to end. We'll definitely be back!

    This 12-Inch Toasted Beast Just Executed My Sad Spinach & Nut Butter Smoothie Diet -- And I'm Not…read moreEven Pressing Charges Temecula, I rolled in a starving 6'4" disaster who's been choking down spinach-and-nut-butter smoothies like a hostage for weeks. Rockin' Jay's looked at my weak soul and said "bet" -- then saved it in the best way possible. Counter girl hit me with a smile so bright I almost reached for sunglasses. The entire all-female crew was straight beast-mode at the open sandwich bar, slinging subs like they were on a mission from the sandwich gods. Atmosphere? Spacious as hell, proper New York deli that moonlights as a 70s rock dive -- screaming reds and greens, green booths, wooden tables, tiled floors, the whole retro package you see in the pics. The playlist was gloriously all over the place in the best way -- Contemporary Christian one minute, 2019 pop bangers the next, basically spanning six decades of straight fire. "Listen to your heart" came on and I damn near did while they built my baby. Every single pick was gold though. I ordered the 12" Capicola & Provolone ($16.69). I yelled "the works -- no mustard, drown me in onions and olives." They dropped an absolute beast of a sandwich... and it came perfectly toasted straight out the gate the way it should be. No sad "can you toast this?" negotiation. Golden, crunchy bread that cracks like it owes you money. Meat stacked stupid high, provolone doing its melty thing, then they buried the whole thing under an avalanche of fresh, snapping shredded lettuce and threw in those glossy peppers on the side like a mic drop. This thing is ridiculously messy -- oil dripping, lettuce flying, pure delicious chaos in every bite. Pro tip: there's no napkin dispenser at the tables, so you gotta go full scavenger hunt by the self-serve soda machine to grab your own stack. Worth every greasy finger and napkin raid. It fed this giant for two meals and left me still full, slightly greasy, and weirdly emotional. My spinach smoothie PTSD? Cured. If your diet has been as depressing as mine, stop torturing yourself and drag your weak ass here immediately. Friendly as can be, killer vibe, and subs that actually deliver. Tell 'em the tall smoothie refugee sent you. I'm claiming a booth next week and bringing stretchy pants... and maybe my own napkin stash.
