Reviews Spiteri's Delicatessen

It's been years since my last visit. 8 was really excited to be back. I got my garlic turkey and ham on a dutch crunch.... ..fantastic.. and the egg salad tastes like my mom's. The staff was friendly. We will be back again and again. Sorry no pics. I was all about eating. Go check em out..

What a fantastic deli! The moment we opened the front door the smell of fresh veggies slapped us right in the face. The menu is easy to understand and really straightforward; pick your meat, cheese, bread, and condiments. The chip selection is vast and they also have a whole bunch of other side dishes that you can order if you aren’t feeling the chips. Fountain drinks are self-serve, but the beer is not (for obvious reason). I ended up ordering a turkey and ham on wheat with pepper jack. The sandwich was absolutely to die for. Remember the fresh ingredients I mentioned at the beginning of my review? The meat, the cheese, and the veggies were all perfect. I came in assuming that they would skimp on the meat, like so many other sandwich shops, so I ordered two meats. I wouldn’t really call it a mistake, because I was delighted, but they put more than enough meat on their sandwiches so ordering the second meat wasn’t really necessary. The meat and cheese were both so flavorful and the lettuce had the perfect crunch; the lettuce was also shredded, which I prefer on my sandwiches. My kids got the tuna on wheat with provolone and absolutely destroyed it. They said that the tuna was really good. They also ordered sides of the bacon mac & cheese and it was phenomenal. I’m pretty sure I actually ended up eating the majority of the mac myself because it was that good. I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for a killer sandwich in the Chico area.

Its has wonderful outside seating with plenty of room between the tables--and this is true of the actual indoor dining room as well. Its very clean and the service was excellent--upbeat and cheerful. And the menu has a vast array of meats, cheeses, breads, AND side dishes such as macaroni salad, different pasta and potatoe salads, and many other types of cold salads. And hey, who deosnt love a deli that offers a meatball sandwhich?!

Hot pastrami sandwiches simply do not get any better than what this place has to offer. The staff is always helpful. The place is always clean. Even when it's busy, the wait time is pretty minimal. They have different soups every day. I've had the potato bacon, broccoli cheddar, and the clam chowder.... all three were delicious. I appreciate how the soup is pretty thick and sustaining, instead of ending up hungry an hour later. This is a place that I have come to crave regularly. They also don't cater to a particular, trendy crowd. Anyone who appreciates good sandwiches and soups should definitely come here.
