    Value is incredible! You get a big sandwich and a bunch of fries for a reasonable price. Everything was pretty tasty. Lovely little local place. Fantastic lunch spot but you'll have leftovers!

    Been here a couple of times before but always forget to take pictures of the food before I eat it all! It's a little out of the way, but worth stopping in if you can. Genuine, tasty food. Everything that we have had there comes out quick, hot and delicious. The people working there seem to be family and do a great job bringing things out, and checking on you to make sure you don't need anything. Must have asked if everything was ok at least 3 times! Gyro sandwich is on their homemade bread which is soft and flavorful. Gyro deluxe is huge and could easily feed 2 people! Basic dining room, but has comfortable seating and a couple of tvs, which had college football on while we were there. Great place to grab lunch with family or friends. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Even though they are closing at 3, for regular kitchen maintenance, (it's 2:20 now), they welcomed us in and were happy to serve us. The door says closed on Sunday, but they are open and happy to help. Food looks and tastes amazing! They bake bread in house so I took some of that home too.

    WOW!!! Incredible gyros. They're HUGE and decently priced!! Probably could've shared one between the 2 of us. The guys at the counter were so nice! Food came out really quickly.

    They are very friendly when you walk up to the counter. Ordering was very fast and easy. Zito Deli is located in the Ritz center off Lemay Ferry. A no frills clean storefront restaurant. I got the Doner Sandwich. The bread was fresh and delicious...actually the whole sandwich was. The fries were crispy and plentiful. The gyro was just as good. Both are HUGE!!!!! Do it!!!!

    Some of the best food you'll ever experience! Excellent service and very affordable prices.

    Double Smash gyro burger. Don't think about it ..just don't, trust me. But be hungry!
    Allen H.

    Employees were extremely nice and willing to help us through our first time visit. The owner said I should try the Gyro Double Smash burger....sidenote....they were right on. It was amazing! Two huge smashed burger patties covered in cheese. Then tons...I mean tons of gyro meat....and to top it all off...it's topped with in house made 1000 Island. This is a must burger!!! My wife got the gyro meal and she said it was huge and amazing!! She's excited to go back. We had a nice little booth in the back with enough room to talk. We can't wait to try some more items...but in all honesty...I'm getting the gyro burger...wow.

    A perfect sandwich. The Hot Salami. Recognized by James Beard. I did mine on garlic cheese bread…read morewith peppers. Got there early and then it got really crowded. Definitely worth stopping when in St Louis

    We chose this sandwich shop because they're a well-known small business in STL, and whenever we…read morehost visitors from out of town for luncheons we always try to support local restaurants so they can get a true taste of St. Louis. Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

    Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

    If you are reading this and it is 10am - 2 p.m. Monday thru Friday, you need to stop what you're…read moredoing and come grab yourself a sandwich at Vivola Express. I stopped in with coworkers today and it was wonderful. I sat and tried to pick the perfect sandwich, but when I got up to order, I couldn't make up my mind. Well, they were kind enough to "surprise me." Yes, that's an option! My sandwich was spicy, sweet, saucy and delicious. My four "must haves" when it comes to a sandwich. I love to overindulge on a good sub. The people that worked here were awesome and super friendly! The customers were even kind and friendly to one another. I highly suggest trying this place SOON! **my one caveat is that it is a bit pricey, but my coworkers and I all agreed, it's well worth the money!!**
