Capri Deli & Pizza

Great to be back here for lunch since that ridiculous COVID pandemic! I came in last Thursday 7/19 at around 1 pm! I had the Capri Special Sandwich (but swapped the usual French Bread option for Focaccia Bread instead, which was way more tasty. Although I originally wanted the 12 inch sandwich and the Focaccia reduced the sandwich size down to 8 inches because of its round shape, I really didn't care, since Focaccia has so much more flavor than boring cliched French Bread)! I also had a large Chicken Noodle Soup and a 12 inch thin crust Capri Special Pizza (which had sausage, green peppers, mushrooms and onions on it)! Including a 20% tip, I paid $65 for my order. The young lady at the register was friendly, knowledgeable and professional! So glad she told me I could switch the bread for my sandwich to Focaccia! She also let me know it would take about 35 minutes or so to make the pizza (which was fine, since I told her I planned on eating my sandwich and soup in the restaurant anyway)! The restaurant's clean and quite spacious dining room is still festively painted with a seaside harbor view looking out onto the Mediterranean! Glad I got there when I did because during peak lunch hours (noon - 2), the place fills up pretty quick! While I ate my sandwich and soup/waited for my pizza, about 10-12 people were already in line! Glad to see that this place beat the pandemic and continues to thrive!!! I will definitely be back!!!

First time at Capri today. We decided to order pizza and salad for the Bears game. My thoughts:--This is a very unassuming little deli in a strip mall, but it has a lot of inside seating and a lot of patrons for a Sunday at noon.--I said to the owner, "This is my first time here. What should I try next time?" He said, "Our pizza is good; our sandwiches are great!"--We ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was really solid. The cheese was really good. Sauce and crust are solid, pepperoni is ok.--My wive is picky, only likes Wayne's, but said that this is a close #2.Highly recommended!

Another visit another satisfied customer. The pizza slices are enormous and so good. The subs are great especially the italian. The owner does a great job along with the ladies.

The service was great! The explanation of the menu was very thoughtful in how to order since it was our first time. This place is a gem! Small spot but so worth stopping by. We ordered the capri special on focaccia bread. I cannot explain the amount of love made into all the ingredients of this sandwich. The sandwich bread was so soft and full of flavor. All the ingredients made this sandwich top tier for me. The sandwich was 10/10 for me and we will be returning to try more.

I'm hungry and need a slice. I'm nearby Capri deli and decide to stop in. Glad I did folks. I ask for a sausage slice and the guy says $8. I said I only wanted a slice and he says it's a big one. I say ok and after they pop it in the oven to heat it they ask if I want it cut. Cut me thinks, hmm, how big is this thing?? Well, it comes out and it's freaking huge. Oh my! Share it with a date.

Great local counter-service sandwich and catering spot. Pretty basic menu and interior, but it's a no frills favorite. We've tried several sandwiches over the years and recently tried the pizza. We've enjoyed it all. My go-to is the tuna sandwich which they can make deconstructed with the bread on the side to make it gluten free. We haven't tried the catering, but I always see people picking up big orders when I'm in there. It must be popular so we'll have to give it a try sometime.

Highly recommend this deli to everyone in Palatine! The man I spoke to on the phone went above and beyond and it made all the difference today! I had a sick toddler who wanted a slice of pizza but DIDNT want to get out of the car! The man brought the slice to my car along with change for my cash! I'm very grateful! In addition to just being an awesome human, the food here is awesome! Not a better pizza slice around. And the deli sandwiches are delicious. Knocks it out of the park with catering as well! Thanks again.

Amazing family owned Italian deli. Awesome sandwiches and love the fact you can have them on garlic bread. Cute interior but prefer take out. I love how kind the staff is as well. A fantastic local business. V

Ordered for the first time yesterday delivery (took 90 minutes). I wasn't in a hurry so it didn't matter too much. Ordered their chicken salad as well as a Square Pan Pizza.Chicken Salad - an enormous amount of chicken but it had an extremely strange taste like it had been reheated or something. Dry. Greens and homemade croutons as well as the house dressing were all very good. But the chicken had to be thrown away - 3/5Square Pan Pizza - I believe I ordered the Special (which had veggies as well) but only received Sausage. However, the pan pizza here is too fantastic not to give them high marks. Great portion, texture, and flavor. Pizza arrived piping hot. 5/5I'm going to probably give this place another go over the holiday break because I am eyeing a few other things on the menu, and if not for the chicken probably would have given them a 5. 4/5 with an opportunity to get that 5th star later. Excellent pizza

Pizza slice is a legit mealNot even worth going to the chain sub shops when you can get a much better sub here
