Ranch Market & Deli is many things ... convenience store ... liquor store ... deli ... luncheonette... Lottery agent. The menu features sandwiches (hot and cold), salads, burritos, and pizza. Breakfast items are also available. There are indoor and patio tables. When I've stopped here, the counter does a good take-away business. Service is very good. Prices are on the high side, but this is Rancho Santa Fe.

This is our go to spot when we have soccer tournaments in the area! One stop and they have everything you could want, hot and cold deli sandwiches, pizza, burritos, salads, wraps, soups, breakfast items, grab and go selection..... The sandwiches always have such fresh ingredients and they do not skimp. The bread is always fluffy and soft. They offer indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Highly recommended.

Nice little local deli and market. Stoked up on extra wine, chips and subs for your quick lunch getaway. I stopped by here during the week and was pleasantly surprised with the delicious pastrami I received. The pastrami was all tender meat, no extra strings or fat. The bread was toasted just right. If you are in the area, check out a sub or even a pizza from here.

Overtoasted,roast beef sandwich

Customer service is atrocious..Didn't get my order right-And also on-top of that I ordered a cold sandwich and got it back extremely toasted..Won't be going back here and can't recommend it.

I went to a Yelp event that they were serving meatballs, salad and focaccia at, which was exciting…read moresince I've been following this business since it opened but hadn't had a chance to get there yet. After sampling the above items, I have a monthly event that I attend nearby so I had a friend meet me after that event for happy hour here. I like pizza, deep dish or thin crust, round or square. It just depends on my mood, but since I've been wanting to come here for so long, I was excited to try their deep dish. When I arrived, it was a really hot day and there were a few people on the patio, but I preferred the air conditioned inside. There were a few other guests inside too. I was told to sit wherever I'd like so I sat towards the back. I ordered a happy hour glass of wine, which ended up being a Barbera. My other choices were sauv Blanc and a sparkling wine. When my friend arrived we ordered a small deep dish "where's the meat". We ordered the bacon on one side only. It took awhile as deep dish does. When it was brought to us I asked which side had the bacon and the girl didn't know. She said she would need to take gloves and find out and she disappeared with the pizza. About 10 minutes later she brought it back and said the side that had the bacon had Parmesan sprinkled on it. It was a bit haphazardly shaken on so the line wasn't clear, but we were happy to have it back so we could dive in. This pizza was worth the wait. I use to live in the Bay Area and there are some very good deep dish options there. I've also been to Chicago and had the real thing. The crust was crispy and a bit flakey. The inside was cheesy, meaty and saucy. The sauce had chunks of tomato and the cheese pull was great. When we left most of the tables were taken. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed it even my non deep dish loving dining partner. We even had leftovers. In fact, last night we got regular crust pizza from the local neighborhood pizza spot we frequent and we both lamented that we wished it was the Shop deep dish. I think we're ruined now. I just wish it were closer.

The pizza was delicious and it was excellent. So was the…read moresalad. Customer service was exceptional. I went today Sunday , July 12 at 1:15 pm Thank you Tamara

It's usually about 45 minutes for your order. Lunch time my hubby gets their deal #1...price went up $1 so now it's $7.99 ($8). You get one portion deep dish pizza (cheese/pepp) and a 20 oz soda. You can get additional toppings for $1.25 each. $7 was a good deal, so sad everything is getting expensive. There's 2 other specials for larger pizzas, as well. Conveniently right off the 15 freeway. To-go orders only there are no seats for dine-in, but just a typical pizzeria ambiance...nothing special. If you haven't been, go give them a try!

First bite of Perfect Pizza was when a friend brought a whole one to my place for movie night. Solid pizza no complaints. Because it was good, my boyfriend and I decided to call in a few weeks later for another Pepperoni pizza pick up before we head to our event on 6/24/25 evening. We spoke to a woman on the phone and headed there after a good half an hour. Let me start off, the younger gentleman that greeted us when we came in was friendly and accommodating and probably having to deal with a mistake that wasn't his. He couldn't find our pizza and as this was happening, an older bald gentleman in uniform comes into the store and asks what's going on.. tries to "fix" the situation. He asks "did you speak to a woman or man on the phone?" We told him woman. And it's like he knew exactly who we were talking about. After coming back from the kitchen, he tells us they FORGOT to make it. He said it so matter-of-factly like it's something normal. "So what happened was... they forgot to make it" - verbatim how he said it. It's been over 40 min? How does this happen? No one was really that apologetic except for the younger guy when I told him how I felt at the end. They make the pizza which takes an extra 10 min. He charges us normally as if nothing happened. The girl working comes out of nowhere "are you the one who ordered the sodas?" And we nod and out of nowhere, across the room, the older gentleman cuts her off as she continues and says "SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU WANT THE DRINKS NOW." Weird interaction... We hear "Pizza ready!" So we stand up thinking it's ours. Nope. It was the older bald employee who says "Oh this one's mine! I just came here to deliver it to my daughter" and skips away with his pizza and leaves. Okay... must be nice. Weird once again Finally the pizzas ready, almost an hour after we called. We were now running later than we expected to our plans. Again, no one barely apologized or even tried to win our business back. Everything was handled so matter-of-factly, I couldn't believe this was the place people have raving about. The younger gentleman did apologize when confronted and he said they'll do better next time. He was probably the only positive about this interaction. The pizza was good of course. But this whole thing was annoying. You have an "ALWAYS READY" sign right on top but it's not even true!!

We started with the lamb, guac, crudo, and focaccia, and everything was delicious. The filet mignon was cooked exactly how I love it: a perfect medium rare. For dessert, the apple cobbler is definitely my favorite. Warm, comforting, and the ideal way to end the night. Great food, lovely ambiance, and easy service from start to finish. We'll be back!

Valet parking is complimentary, and there isn't any self-parking. When I checked in with the hostess, she gave me the option of sitting in the front outdoor patio or the back patio. I chose the back, and I'm so glad I did because the view is absolutely beautiful. I also had my dog with me, and they were incredibly dog friendly. They brought her a dog bed and a surprisingly extensive dog menu with some really great options. We ordered: *Lobster Tacos : Three generously filled tacos served with salsa and guacamole. They were absolutely delicious and loaded with lobster, topped with fresh avocado. *Rancho Burger: Easily one of the best burgers I've had. It was cooked perfectly, and we added Swiss cheese. They even cut it in half for my friend and me to share. The fries were fantastic too, crispy and somewhere between steak fries and thin-cut fries. *Shepherd's Pie (Dog Menu) : The menu listed it with beef, but they accidentally brought out the chicken version. Since my dog is allergic to chicken, they immediately apologized, took it back, and made a fresh beef version. The customer service was excellent, and my dog absolutely devoured it. The portion was generous, and it looked fresh enough for a human to eat. The service was phenomenal from start to finish. Our food arrived in less than 20 minutes, the views were stunning, and the menu had so many tempting options that I'll definitely be back to try more. Overall, this was a fabulous lunch, and I highly recommend it.
