Sam's Italian Deli & Market

Incredible sandwiches! I love this place. I've gone many times over the years and have never been disappointed. This time, a coworker and I ordered a DoorDash delivery for lunch. The order was delivered much more quickly than I expected and as usual the food was delicious. The only thing negative I have to say is about the DoorDash driver and not the food. I included a healthy tip with the order but he waited and even asked for a tip when he dropped it off. No freaking way. I was pretty ticked off and told him to leave. Tip expectations have gotten way out of hand these days.

Sam's Italian Deli is a Fresno staple! Their quick service makes it a great option to pop in for a sandwich. I got the focaccia sandwich and garlic parmesan fries that were both delicious. I also grabbed a trio of cannolis that were crispy and fresh. We sat in the back of the store at the tables while watching the employees make handmade pastas. I'll be back soon to grab fresh pizza dough and pasta sauce!

Today we were seated quickly at lunchtime on a Friday. One of my friends and I had salads for lunch. I had a cappuccino beforehand since it was a bit chilly outside when we came in. Yum yum. You can taste Italy here; it is exactly like it. I had the Italian chopped salad and she had the Caesar salad. Our other friend had Sam's special sandwich. With the special sandwich, you have a choice of sides, including potato chips, orzo pasta salad, or I think a green salad or a combination of those. My choice, the chopped salad was delightful. ChoppedRomaine, shreds of sliced salami, pepperoni, provolone. Garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped red bell pepper, pepperoncini, and Sam's marvelous vinaigrette. It was a joy. Service was rapid, and the ambience was conducive to conversation. As usual a fabulous Sam's experience.

Been wanting to come here for the longest time. The chicken parm sandwich online looked fantastic so that's what I had to get. Sandwich is large! I asked the guy at the counter about it and says it's made to order. Though it took a bit to be made, it was fantastic! Ate outside in the covered patio area. They also have an inside space as well as a wine bar. Only drawback is that they don't make a small.

Cassidie is the BEST! We ate at Nick's Café and she was the best server. She is so friendly and belongs in a sitcom or on stage. Her personality is just beautiful. We asked a lot of questions and found out she was not from here but from the coast. She was so knowledgeable and shared with us that their chips are homemade and that we could purchase them to go. I was actually there yesterday and found this out and today I came back to purchase two orders of their homemade kettle chips. I also found out that their pastas are made on Thursday and then frozen so I got several boxes of various pastas to take to my son's house today. Our sandwiches were huge even though we ordered small. I had enough for yesterday and today. I highly recommend coming here for lunch as they close at 5 o'clock, unfortunately.

Best place to grab sandwich in town!Wow! You can taste the quality, and oh so flavorful.I had the Sam's Steak Sandwich, it was loaded with meat, the peppers delicious and the bread fluffy and delicious.The fries are a must! It has a nice crunch and seasoned well.And you can't skip on the cannoli! What a great deli and market. If you are ordering food, I suggest ordering online on the website, be sure to order ahead to avoid long wait times.

Saw the reviews and decided to try. It's in a strip mall type place, with parking in the back. When you step inside, grab a number. Then walk around the huge counter and see what they have.Pay attention to what you order. We didn't know the bread would be on a sesame type bread which was just ok. I had the meatball and would have liked it in a French roll more. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing because it wasn't as delicious as I expected. Too much hype from the reviews? The pastrami sure look good... maybe I'll go back and try it next time.

I've only been here a few times but I've only ever gotten the Sam's Specail, a cold cut sandwich that is packed with so much meat. I also tried the Parmesan fries once and that was also good. I would like to try their other sandwiches one day. It does get pretty busy during lunch hours so expect there to be a wait. It's a nice little market place and they have a good variety of things to choose from. If you're looking for items to make a charcuterie board or something this would be a good spot to go and grab meats, cheeses, etc.

Such a cool local spot. A bit out of the way for me but worth the trip over!My favorite sandwich is the chicken parm. Consistently good every time!If you're going during lunch hour, prepare for the lunch rush. Ordering ahead definitely helps!Love the market too, great wine selection. Wish there were more places locally like this.

Based on a DoorDash pick up order!Food: 5/5I got Sams Special Sandwich on a baguette and a grilled chicken salad and both were so good! My boyfriend enjoyed his tuna baguette sandwich very much. After the first few bites we were already talking about how we have to go in person! Service & Ambiance: I cannot comment but my boyfriend who went to pick up the order, said they were nice! My boyfriend described the market as "cool with lots of meat and cheese."
