Stopped by for a bite before work, great sandwich. Service was good and they even have Virgil's root beer!

Cheap (for Pasadena) sandwiches from an independent shop. For about $7 you can get a sandwich with avocado, however, they don't offer any combo options, everything is a la carte. They have a variety of bread option including wheat, sourdough, squaw (see menu) and you can mix and match. They will even toast the bread for cold sandwiches. Sure, the price is about the same for a chain sandwich shop (Which Wich), but you're supporting your small business here. The parking lot can get really packed during the lunch rush 12-2pm, so plan accordingly. There is a small indoor and outdoor eating area but is usually all full during lunch. Vince's Deli accepts credit cards. TIP: There is a Mexican fruit stand at the entrance across from the Huntington Hospital where for $5 (Cash only), you can purchase a variety of fresh cut fruit (seasonal). read more

I have only been here once and I am already a fan! I was looking for a local Deli in Pasadena and yelp answered my prayers. I came her for lunch yesterday, phoned in my order, showed up less than 10 minutes later and my order was sitting there ready for me to pay with no line. I ordered the Avocado, Turkey, Sprouts and Swiss Sub & picked a Snapple out of the fridge to drink. My total order came out to $9.03. The sub was exactly what I was craving. As an avocado lover, you can't go wrong with avocado, turkey & Swiss, but the addition of sprouts seals the deal for me. I can't wait to try a different sandwich next week. I read on the reviews that this place gets busy around lunch time because they share a parking lot, but this was not the case for me. I take my lunch at 11:30am and I found a spot immediately. read more

Not my first time here, had the BLT w/Avacado....holy shitsnacks!!! It is bomb diggity delicious!!! Thought maybe the first time around was just a fluke maybe, boy was I wrong! This place rocks! The sammich broken down: Wheat bread was softer than a baby's bottom and tasted so delicious. The lettuce was crispy with a slight chill to it. Tomatoes....not too big, not too small...not soggy at all, just the way I like em. Now the best part...BACON!!!! Crispy and crunchy but not burnt. This takes a master chef or someone who is skilled with a grill. Ahhhmazing!!! Highly recommend this to my fellow yelpers and friends!!! read more

Part of my Reuben sandwich adventure had a stop here. It didn't look like much, as it was inside a strip mall, but I had faith. Walking inside it looked more like an ice cream parlor than it did a Deli, thats okay I've had great sandwiches from deceiving looking places before. Unfortunately you CAN judge this book by its cover, my Reuben wasn't great. Pricey. Kind of small, and they didn't offer Russian dressing. The bread was also very tough. Forgettable. read more

Great spot for lunch! They've put together a winning combination: fresh food, friendly service, and affordable prices Down side is that the parking lot is busy and can be hard to find a parking spot. Macaroni salad and the sandwich was delicious! read more

Vince's Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have passed by this place so many times and it's my first time as a customer! Pretty healthy options they have there, I like that they have a big part of the menu dedicated to avocado lovers. And I LOVE AVOCADOS!! You can also add that onto any sandwiches. The add-on list also includes sprouts, and I LOVE SPROUTS on my sandwiches. Just by judging from the above, I know I am going to love this place. After some serious thoughts, I went with the mushroom, avocado, provolone on wheat with sprouts. Quite a few staffs working at the station, and they move pretty fast! A lady before me ordered 3 sandwiches so I thought it will be a long wait, but the 5-10mins wait go by pretty fast! They have a list that tells you what kind of things come with your sub/sandwich, as it is not up on the board look for it by the cashier! The full-sized sandwich is just the right size for me, a regular will be too small! The avocado didn't disappoint. Instead of sliced pieces, it is more of a creamy spread. I am not sure if they have put anything else in it because it is sooo yummy!! All the ingredients including the bread are so fresh! The sandwich was a very delicious one. I believe they don't toast the bread unless it is a sub, which I am fine with. Ask for light mayo if u need to as they do put quite a lot in it. For vegetarians, there are only 2 choices. But I am sure you can ask them to skip the meat if you see something you like off the menu. This place is like the local version of subway for me. A better, healthier version and I will be coming back often to grab lunch :) read more

Vince's Deli - Vegetarian + sprouts - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped by today just to try it out! I really did like it. There honestly is nothing too special about this place its just good! White bread roll was very soft, ingredients were fresh. I was happy after eating. I really had no problems but it did not blow me away! I got the Roast Beef Avocado Swiss. I really did like it! I do feel that they should put more meat into it! Also you should know that the avocado is already mashed which is different to me! Oh and my friend and I thought it was so weird how you can go behind the counter to get your own drinks! So interesting. We kind of stood around until we saw the sign. OVERALL, very fresh! If I am in the area and craving a sandwich then I will deffinitely be back. I am really glad I stopped. Simple but good! read more

Vince's Deli is definitely a nice treat for locals in the Pasadena area. Location Vince's Deli is hidden within a small strip mall consisting of little family owned shops and restaurants as well as a Vons. Since it is in a crammed strip mall parking can be difficult. The inside is small but houses a decent amount of chairs and tables; They also have a few outside tables. Food Avocado Special: Regular 6" Turkey, Sprouts, Avocado, and Swiss $5-6 Large Italian Coldcut: Large $6-7 Both sandwiches were lovely and left a nice impression. The meats tasted fresh and didn't come in a slimy texture which I appreciated. The vegetables they used were fresh and in good proportion to the sandwiches. They definitely didn't skimp on the avocado which is uncommon nowadays. They have a well-rounded selection of chips and drinks which allows you to add your own touch to any meal. They also have potato salad and pasta salad; I didn't try it though. Price The price of all sandwiches, drinks, and chips is extremely competitive when comparing them to other Delis. Employees The staff was nice, friendly, and patient with us as we grilled them about their menu. After the initial purchase the staff is pretty much nonexistent; similar to subway's process of serving customers. The thing I liked about them was that they didn't ignore us when we came to the counter they stopped what they were doing and actually paid attention to us rather than ignore us and continue on with their conversation like so many other places do. Overall I really enjoyed Vince's Deli and would love to try more things on their menu. read more

I had the NY pastrami on rye. Good price, the sandwich is smaller than a langers but big enough for most men. The flavor is great. The other sandwiches look good too. It's a must try. read more

Do you ever go into a place thinking...wow, I know nothing about this place but it's busy so I'll try it. That was me, at Vince's, last week. I had just dropped off magazines at the hospital and I was famished and couldn't fathom driving too far. So I popped across the street and was treated to a little bit of what Grace Y calls "sammich heaven." What I had? Turkey, Avocado, Lettuce and tomato on a soft hogie roll. It was delish and it came fast. Service was pleasant. they have a large, varied menu and I was attracted to the fact that they offered an "avocado lovers" section. I myself am an avocado lover. Yippeeeeee, I found my fix. don't tell anyone, ok? read more

Love the bread and veggies they put in the Turkey sandwich, except not sure why they put less and less Turkey in it lately. Literally had only two of those thinly sliced slices hidden among the onions and lettuce Has anyone else noticed? Is this due to the pandemic? read more

Underwhelming. My Reuben was made with microwaved sliced ham, while my wife's meatball sub was passable - except that she had to pick out small bone fragments. read more

Vince's Deli - I wouldn't call it a Reuben... - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

TOTALLY DELICIOUS!!! Had to stop myself from coming here so often...The NY Pastrami is awesome on the french roll. The turkery avocado is also amazing...and the veggie sandwich, and everything else :) TIP: Order Ahead...they get bust during lunch hour! ALSO, THEY HAVE THE BEST RANCH...CANT FIND BETTER! read more

Sandwiches were good, that's not the problem. The problem is it taking the majority of a lunch hour just waiting for our sandwiches. Taking our order went fairly quick, even though there were a few people ahead of us. But waiting almost 40 minutes for our three sandwiches just isn't acceptable. Especially when four orders placed after ours went out ahead of ours. read more

Actually had to buy an envelope & a stamp at the small post office here in the shopping center...and noticed Vince's Deli...and was mildy surprised to find it was open! Since all i had for breakfast was a bowl of cereal, i decided to hop in and see what was up with this place. Inside was small. But they have a decent selection of sandwiches to choose from - especially if you like avocados! They're open somewhat early, too (0830am). There are 7 small 2-person tables for you to sit at, and 3 taller 2-person tables. Friendly people behind the counter, good food, coffee & smoothies, too! They DO deliver - but it's only from 11-2 Monday thru Friday, AND it's a minimum 4-sandwich order. Will definitely come back for more. read more

I have wanted to write this review for a long time. This place is fantastic! The avocado is fresh not frozen which is a huge plus! The bread always tastes fresh as well. A huge variety of options I'd highly recommend this place! read more

This sandwich was so good. I am still thinking about it and it's been HOURS AND HOURS. I had the turkey bacon avocado with everything on it. I can't wait to go back and yes i will dreams about it this evening. read more

My first time there, I tried the #6 which was Hot Pastrami with mushroom. Total for a regular with small drink was $7. Good food, definitely not the BEST, but something to come back to once a month or two. read more

It's hard for me to order something else from here I like the BLT with Avocado no mayo on wheat lightly toasted...umm I am getting hungry writing about it but not much to write about when it comes to a BLT, haha. The shop it simple very small not too much seating and the park well it is in Pasadena so you know the parking around here, good luck. Take someone with you just in case you're on your lunch hour that way one person and hop out to pick up the order and the other person drive around to pick up back up. Enjoy your meal, happy eating Yelpers read more

Bomb. I'm a huge fan of avocado so this place is already great in my book. I heard about this place through my hairstylist who actually frequents Vince's. I've been to this plaza a couple of times, but never noticed this mom and pop shop. I wish I tried it sooner, but if I'm ever in the area and craving a sandwich, I would come here. Vince's Deli is cheap and their portions are filling. I got the avocado and ham... My mouth is drooling just thinking about it. You have a variety of options for the type of bread, as well as cheese. When you're ordering, there's a list that is placed in front of you... Don't forget to look at that! I did and agreed to have everything added on, but I didn't like pickles so I had to take it out one by one. That's my own personal fault though. Their avocado is not like some typical sandwich spots where it's sliced, but it is mushed which makes it so much easier to eat and it doesn't slip out as much. A lot of people come here for lunch so be aware that it could get a bit crowded, but I think they do a good job getting orders out efficiently! read more

By the reviews and how busy they were I was expecting a lot more from this place! I tried the turkey and pastrami... I was very underwhelmed. It lacked flavor! I love sandwiches... I've tried sandwiches from a lot of places. Vince's was disappointing... I will stick to Perry's Joint when I'm in Pasadena for a sandwich. read more

Vince's Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

As good as they say! Clean, fast, good sized portions of quality ingredients, served by happy people, proud of their product. Definitely bigger and better than Subway and less expensive than Togo's. We liked the balance between fillings and bread since we aren't big meat eaters. The latter would probably prefer the equally fun Pasadena Sandwich Company's humongous, meaty creations (especially anything with roast pork - their unique speciality). Avoid going at rush hour as the parking lot is frequented by too many rude, self-important folks in a big hurry. read more

I keep trying this place every time I get stuck visiting Huntington Hospital. And every time I am reminded why I would never come here if I was not stuck visiting Huntington Hospital. I have NO idea why this place has 4 and 5 star reviews. Their sandwiches are just a little better than the Hospital Cafeteria which is why people come here I guess. And yes they are reasonably priced. But if your bar is set soo low that all you have to do is be better than a hospital cafeteria, can you really call yourself a great sandwich shop???? 1) they never listen to your order. I have ordered several sandwiches on squaw bread only to receive them on different bread. You would think having 4 ladies there most of the time they could get the bread right. 2) if you do actually take the time to try and go back or complain over the phone they tell you the manager is not there. 12:45 pm on a Wednesday during the lunch rush apparently there is not manager on duty. 3) Even if you manage to get your sandwich the way you ordered it and in a timely fashion. Its really not any better than a sandwich you could make at home. I'm pretty sure this place is the reason there is a Subway on the hospital grounds now. Because clearly mediocre sandwiches sell great around here.... read more

Simply put, they make very good sandwiches. Lots of choices and excellent bread choices to go with all of their other meats and fixing. Lunch time can get busy so either call ahead or just plan right. I took home a menu so I could take my time thinking it out. read more

Great big bread sandwich! Not much meat no mustard and very little avocado having paid extra for it. I was disappointed with this place after reading all the reviews about this pastrami sandwich! read more

You know there is something wrong when you order a meatball and provolone sandwich and someone immediately goes to the walk-in and sticks a bag into the microwave. Definitely not made in house.

I recently went in at lunch time. The line was 6 people deep. I am like ok. I will wait. Then the line got longer. Then the lady behind the counter says there is a 20 minute wait.

i love this place. the sandwiches are simple but good. I love how they offer oil and vinegar on their sandwiches, a big guilty pleasure of mine and not enough places off this! If you're looking for a cheap humble sandwich, this is your place. i will def return if im in time crunch and in the area. read more

Very disappointed. Came at lunch time with 30 minutes to spare before a dr. appt. I actually had plenty of time, had the employee been able to make my sandwich. I was waiting and waiting, watching my unfinished sandwich just sitting on the prep counter. I finally said something and was told " They are in the back cutting up lettuce for the sandwiches". Excuse me? You don't have enough lettuce cut for the lunch rush? Wow. I finally said " please just give me the sandwich without the lettuce, I don't have time to wait another 10 more minutes( I'd already been waiting 15 minutes). Totally ridiculous. Sorry Vince, won't be back. read more

Definitely a better quality compared to subway. Much better than the sandwiches served in the deli inside Vons, which its located in the same plaza, and the customer service is great. I was looking for something to eat for breakfast and I came across this place. I can't regret it, it was good!! read more

I love this place. My go to is the Roast Beef with cream cheese on a toasted roll with everything on it. I dream about this sandwich. Family style sandwich shop, fresh breads, and quality ingredients. At lunch it gets packed so call in your order then pick it up. Also the parking can be crappy at lunch, I'd go at an off time to keep your sanity. Its open early for breakfast too! And right across the street from the Huntington Hospital so you can get some decent food if you are there. read more

I don't know what it is. I really wanted to absolutely love this place. Maybe I hyped it up for myself too much after reading Sarah A's review of this place. I love me a good sandwich. I mean, a pile of meat in between 2 pieces of bread. It's like every guy's fantasy, a threesome with 2 hot chicks. In this case, the bread would be the hot chicks and I would be the meat. Just sayin'.... I actually was kinda hoping that I had bookmarked this place so I could feel a little bit of accomplishment erasing another one of my bookmarks, but I didn't, so oh well. Walking in the space is long and narrow. It seemed to be run by 2 middle aged Korean women, with a hispanic young woman also taking orders with 3 more hispanic women making the sandwiches. Even nearing 1 o clock when the lunch rush typically dies down, this place still had a line 8-10 people deep. I browsed the menu and Sarah is right, one-third of their menu is dubbed "For Avocado Lovers". It was awesome. But being a cold and overcast day like it was today, I wanted a hot sandwich. What's hot sandwich is better than a pastrami? So I got a large Sub #6, which was pastrami and sauteed mushrooms on a roll with everything: lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle, mayo and mustard. I took the sandwich home (because I never like eating there unless I'm with another person) and dug in. My initial reaction? It was good and definitely filled me up, but it wasn't the best pastrami I've had. Certainly not the worst I've had either. Still a really good sandwich considering the price. I probably will still end up going to Sandwich Story more, but when Sandwich Story isn't open (they have limited hours), I'm coming here. This gets "The Chef's" 1 1/2 thumbs up! read more

I've been coming here ever since I started working in Pasadena a few years ago. The sandwiches at Vince's deli are no non-sense, simple, tasty, filling and dirt cheap! My favorite sandwich here is the avocado, bacon, and turkey on wheat but any simple deli meat and cheese sandwich is under $5. Sprouts, mushrooms, bacon, liverwurst or avocado cost extra. The avocado is kind of funky as it's more of a spread vs actual chunks of avocado. Still good nonetheless. They have pastrami, meatball, grilled chicken and corned beef for their hot sandwich options. If you're ordering a hot sandwich, be prepared to wait for it because they are super slow when it comes to those. All the women working here are friendly and cheerful. I've actually never seen a male employee here (ironic because it's named "Vince's"). All in all, this place is great for a quick, tasty and inexpensive lunch. They have a great variety of deli meats and hot sandwich options. Pass on the salads though. Tip: Get the regular instead of the large. Been coming here for years and can barely tell the difference between the sizes. You can also call in your order ahead of time. read more

With a name like Vince's Deli, and me filled with a whole raft of pre-conceptions from my time on the east coast, I really expected my sandwich at Vince's to be made by a muscular Italian guy. As it was, it was made two petite Asian women. On the other hand, the Italian Cold Cut sub that Wendy T and split was exactly the sub I was expecting. We've only had 1 sub from this place so there isn't that much to say. Pros - good quality meat, and good balance between topping and meat, unlike Pasadena Sandwich Company, which tends to overwhelm me with the amount and thickness. The large size sandwich was fine for the two of us; it is a healthy size sandwich. For us, the make or break part of a sandwich is the bread, and Vince's bread passes the muster, though it's certainly not the best sandwich bread I've ever had. Also they have o good selection of chips, beyond the typical Doritos Cons - a pet peeve of mine is what I call the "de facto mayo". I'm not a huge fan of mayo and there was a bit much for me (both sides of the bread). The peppercinis were somehow not very flavorful and the sandwich was a little light on pickles (personal preference). Overall I was very satisfied with my Vince's experience and since I will find myself at Huntington Memorial a fair bit in the next couple months, I'll definitely be trying some other sandwiches. read more
