The Most Flavorful Delis in Denver

Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen

Snarf's Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.7 (705) • $$

"Snarfs is my favorite local sandwich shop/chain in Colorado! Each sandwich is handcrafted with love and fills me up every single time. I've tried most of what they offer but a couple stands out particularly their motherclucker and Italian sandwiches. Their house peppers are to die for and adds a nice little zing to each bite! In the photo was their special which was the Italian but with meatballs and marinara which was amazing.Ok but what about their off menu offerings? Boy get the Mother clucker now! Rotisserie chicken, veggies and the secret ingredient...honey! It adds a nice little sweetness which cuts into the saltiness to the toppings. You won't be disappointed! We've only been two of their locations, which are the cherry Creek and University shops, but both provide amazing service and good eats."

"Great place to grab a sammich. Their menu is crazy long! I had a difficult time choosing which sandwich to eat. It's a fun atmosphere like how they use cards for table numbers when delivering your food. Very unique. The service was good albeit a bit frazzled during lunch rush hour. They carry Boulder Canyon Chips and if you love salt and vinegar--theirs with malt vinegar is the best!"

New York Deli News

★★★★☆ 3.5 (535) • $$

"Denver has a bunch of delis, would be delis, pretend delis, sandwich shops that think they're delis, sort of Jewish delis, and the New York Deli News which is the closest thing we've got to a classic, New York City-style Jewish deli. It has been my favorite since they opened in 1989 and it is my favorite now.They hit all of my hot buttons: matzo ball soup, deli salads, chopped liver, a huge list of fantastic, overstuffed sandwiches (corned beef, pastrami, corned beef & pastrami!), blintzes, all day breakfast, and weekend brunch.The space was getting a little tired on my last visit several months ago, but I was surprised this visit with a fancy new sign, a new color scheme, new menus, a tidied up interior, and new systems, including very nice hand-held terminals for the servers. Everything ran very efficiently.I had my frequent order of blintzes on this visit. They were tasty, hot, and fresh. My friend had a very generously-sized cheese omelet which he enjoyed. I love the matzo ball (chicken) soup here. The matzo balls are always tender and the soup richly flavored. The sandwiches are great. You can't go wrong with any of them. This place hits the spot whether you want breakfast, lunch, or dinner.The New York Deli News is one of Denver's treasures. This is the place for the authentic New York deli experience. Accept no substitutes."

Curtis Park Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (328)

"This was easily the best sandwich I've had in Denver. They slice the deli meat fresh and make each sandwich fresh. They have great gluten free bread too! The vibes feel like you stumbled into a humble New York sandwich shop, but are about to have the best sandwich if your life. The staff is friendly, the place looks very unassuming and simple, but their product is stellar. This is such a great neighborhood spot!"

Spinelli's Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (301) • $$

"Only ever purchased sandwiches here. Their grocery options look great but I have yet to get anything.Good sandwich options, nice and filling with good breads and meats/cheeses. Solid prices.Staff is attentive and quick, make a darn good Italian sub. Had several different sandwiches and all have been great."

Lou’s Italian Specialties

★★★★☆ 4.4 (272) • $$

"2 years later, it's time for an updated review! My friend and I walked to Lou's from our dance studio for lunch, and it's still one of the best sandwich shops in town. There are so many options, including groceries in their refrigerated sections. I ended up ordering a Muffeletta because I looove olives and it was recommended by one of the staff members there. The half portion was perfect. Apparently they do quarter portions as well. Definitely want to try some of their plates in the future. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You can pair your sandwich with one of the beverages in their labeled fridges. Plenty of street parking in the area. Excited to come back and support Lou's again!"

Latke Love

★★★★★ 4.7 (229) • $$

"We've driven by Latke Love a bunch of times and always say "we need to try that place." Well, today we did and we are so glad we did, it was delicious! The restaurant is small and cozy, it looks like walking into your grandma's house. When we walked in the food smelled incredible! The owner was really friendly and answered all of our questions. The food was outstanding, some of the freshest salmon I've ever tasted and I'd buy the dill cream if they sold it! The Guinness gravy and brisket were amazing and perfectly seasoned, and the latkes were outstanding! To top it all off, the homemade applesauce was delicious.We are very much looking forward to going again!"

Edwards Meats

★★★★★ 4.5 (229) • $$

"The smoked meats on Fridays are impossible to beat. The service is exceptional, I was asked if I needed help numerous times. The employees seem so happy to work there and are very helpful. I love the ambiance, the well stocked shelves and smells are delightful. Don't forget to buy a deli sandwich! Holy smokes delicious."

STACK Subs

★★★★☆ 4.3 (220) • $$

"I love subs. Specifically, I love Italian subs.On my trip to Denver, we decided that subs were the takeout option for lunch.I of course, opted for an Italian and it was so good. The bread has the perfect mix of a bit of flakiness but soft as well. The sub was STACKED with meat and all the toppings. I specifically loved the hot pepper mix I added to my sub.My friend's sandwich looked amazing also. If you're in the area and looking for a sub, I would try out Stack's. They've been voted best sandwich in Denver for 6 years in a row, so if that isn't reason enough to check them out, I'm not sure what is!"

"The kale salad was the bomb!!!! Please get it!!!Very filling and especially if you are planning on eating rich dinner!!!!"

Curtis Park Delicatessen - Cherry Creek

★★★★★ 4.8 (144) • $$

"Amazing sammies. And lord I have tried most there.Curtis Park Deli is dangerous...I mean it is a block away from me and the Sandwiches are addictive.It starts with that amazing bread.... so fresh and pairs with the meats perfectly.Than the combination of items on the sandwich is so creative and flavorful it will addict you too.Small parking lot in front just in case."

Cheese Ranch

Salvaggio's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (89)

"Came here to grad a quick to go sandwich based off of really great reviews from my coworkers. I ordered their cheese steak that had chorizo instead of the traditional sliced beef. Oh my gosh this was one of the best sandwiches I have had. The bead alone blew me away as it was fresh and held up great for the sandwich. The warm meat, cheese, peppers, and onions created perfect harmony in the sandwich and I finished it feeling super happy. The employees were very friendly which only made my sandwich taste even better. This is a great deli to grab a sandwich from, give it a try ASAP!"

Max Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (55)

"For being a local store it gets good ratings because it's convenient. It doesn't have the best prices. Max Market is okay if you prefer local over big chain stores. Limited selection but still decent. The service is just okay. Anything local is usually better than a corporate chain. It mostly is the case here. The prices really aren't worse than many other stores. It's typical of a convenient store to take advantage of customers in a hurry. They sure do that here, but it's not all bad though. Some things have decent prices. The made to order items are the best values. Grocery items are pricier. This is good if you have some time. It has a pretty good menu of sandwiches and things from the deli. Prices are better for the made to order items. This is a better place if you have time for waiting."

Tuscany Coffee & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (48) • $$

"I come here often since I work close. The service is always friendly, the coffee is always good, and I like the huge variety of coffee/tea/espresso drink options! The americano always hits the spot, but today I tried the blackberry sage black tea latte with almond milk - so delicious! Great with an extra tea bag too as it amps up the flavor. Sometimes it can be a little slow, but I like that it's a unique spot and serves food (though I have yet to try it - they have a lot of vegetarian options!)."

Enrico's Italian Sausage & Market

★★★★☆ 4 (44) • $

"Best Italian market !!!! In our Arvada area always friendly & willing to help when you need GOOD food fast!!"

Snarf’s Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48)

"We got into town late and didn't know what to eat. The guys at the local dispensary directed me here when I said I wanted salad. I was a little skeptical but the salad with rotisserie chicken was really good, and the girls working were super sweet and friendly."

The Local Butcher

★★★★☆ 4 (33)

"We heard about The Local Butcher this summer and can't say enough good things about them. From the steaks to their brats are fire."

PrimoHoagies

★★★★☆ 3.7 (29)

"I cannot speak for any other sandwich other than the old Italian because it's all I've ever gotten and it's never let me down! Sooooo delicious! It's a powerful combination of all you'd ever want in a sandwich! The smell of this place as soon as you walk in SCREAMS Italian. The service is great, the employees have always been super friendly, the young man working the register was so polite, it was refreshing. I'll definitely be coming back since I work down the road!"

European Gourmet

★★★★★ 4.6 (18) • $$

"Blink and you will miss this place. My Polish friends in the city did not even know about this place, so I am telling the world. European Gourmet Deli is located behind European Gourmet restaurant on Wadsworth in a strip mall (behind the roadside buildings). If you did not know it was there, you would probably miss it. This place carries predominately POLISH foods. They carry everything from homemade Pierogies, Kielbasa, Stuffed Cabbage, Soups, Stews, Breads, and have imported meats, cheeses, and other Polish foods.Most of the deli items are foreign to most Americans, however the ladies will allow you to sample. Check this place out, it is a hidden gem."

Solomons Grocery & Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (18) • $$

"The folks at Solomon's Grocery and European Deli want you to come up and see them sometime. No, really! And you don't have to peel grapes for them either. The Bukharian (no, not Bulgarian - you're thinking of East Europe Market off of Colorado Boulevard) owners of this spacious shop (in a Havana strip mall prominently anchored by a bingo hall) are here to confound and astound you with their merchandise. Dark rye breads, rich with flavor! Stunning Russian sodas (I like the medicinal-tasting cola called Baikal and the tarragon-flavored Tarkhun, although the clerk I spoke to told me she's not a big fan of that last one). Elegant salads (maybe a potatoey Olivie or beety Vinegret is calling out to you?) You will find savories and sweets from the whole swath of Eastern Europe, and further afield, beckoning you. And then, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, you can pop a few doors down and treat yourself to an Ethiopian nosh at Nile (see my previous review)! Really, how can you say "no"?"

The Bagel Deli & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Love the food. Would rate the food five star.Prices are a little high but understanding. Service is as quick as possible with as many customers as they usually have. So don't expect quick and immediate delivery of your food. You can buy food at the counter or order at the restaurant to sit and eat. Nothing fancy typical deli atmosphere. This place is usually crowded and maybe loud. Best not to go on weekends unless you like waiting and crowds."
