Poma's Italian Deli

**Review for Poma's Italian Deli**If you're wandering around Ocean Beach and craving a quick, cheap, and delicious meal, look no further than Poma's Italian Deli. This charming little spot is an order-at-the-window place, nestled just a stone's throw from the beach. I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints.On my latest visit, I tried the Torpedo sandwich, toasted. While the bread was a tad too toasted this time, making it a bit hard, the sandwich still hit the spot. Usually, the consistency here is spot-on, so I'm chalking this up as a rare hiccup.Poma's serves a variety of sandwiches, pasta, and more, all of which are beloved by locals. The prices are incredibly reasonable, and the service is quick, making it perfect for a casual meal. There are two small tables available for dining, which you might end up sharing with strangers--an opportunity to meet fellow Poma's enthusiasts--or you can take your food to go.Personally, I love grabbing my sandwich and heading to the beach to enjoy my meal with a view. There's something special about savoring a Poma's sandwich with the ocean breeze in your hair. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Poma's Italian Deli is a must-try.

Poma's is another must when in OB! Honestly it gets busy just like every other spot so either expect a 20+ minute wait or just call in your order and pickup. This is a walk up and order style with no indoor seating but they have a few picnic tables out front. We've had their meatball, sausage, turkey and tuna Sammie's. The Mac salad and pickles are delicious too!! Honestly every sandwich is amazing in their own right. I don't normally prefer hot sandwiches but their famous meatball sandwich deserves the name. It's fantastic!! You cannot go wrong with turkey as a classic cold sandwich. They are stuffed with fixings on a soft fluffy roll and served with a good amount of pepperoncinis!! The customer service is super friendly even with the crowds. I cannot wait for my next stop in!

Before moving out of OB, I lived on Niagara and Narragansett for many years, and Poma's has always been amazing! They have fresh food, good prices, and a perfect location. My husband and I stopped by on Monday afternoon and ordered a tuna sub and turkey sub with Voodoo chips + IBC root-beer. I swear, I have never had a bad thing here!! The bread is so bomb and fresh. Perfect crunch on the outside but still soft on the inside. You can get any of the subs hot or cold and they all come with a few pepperoncini's on the side which I think is far superior than a side pickle. ALSO! If you haven't had Voodoo chips before, do yourself a favor and grab some at Poma's. You won't be disappointed. They have a walk up window to place orders or you can give them a call ahead of time. They get busy but the sandwiches still don't take that long. Love the Christmas lights out front and the community benches for eating with friends. Poma's is a staple in the OB community and I definitely recommend stopping by the next time you're at the beach and want a great lunch. Just grab a sub and head to the beach!

We took our dog to the vet at Sunset Cliffs Animal Hospital, and decided to go there for a SECOND TIME.I was the only one who placed an order. I ordered RAVIOLI W/ SALAD AND GARLIC BREAD. I should note it only cost $15.00!!! WOW!!!I got lots of food too. In the ravioli, I got 10 LARGE PIECES OF RAVIOLI, with extra sauce!!! For the garlic bread, they gave me 4 LARGE PIECES!!! In addition, I got a large salad with ranch dressing. For me, that is 4 MEALS!!!I should also note, If you go during the week, rather than the weekend, there is a better chance of getting a Visitor's PARKING SPACE, which we need because we have a DISABLED PASS!!!We can't do that on the weekend!!!

My sister took me here for "the best meatball sub in town" even though she's never had it. She still claimed that titled for this place after ordering her sub. I ordered the roast beef sandwich hot and I was pretty impressed. This place is walk up window only and has 5ish picnic benches outside for outdoor seating only. It was a really nice day so we opted to eat on one of those tables. The sandwiches are about $10-12ish each and that's a really good price for the size sandwich you get! Overall, a sandwich is a sandwich to me so it's hard to make a bad sandwich therefore im not too wowed. But if im in the area looking for cheap eats, id be here.

We ordered the meatball sandwiches from Poma's. OFF....THE...CHAIN!Super good! If you're looking for a dining experience, this is not it. No sit down, only walk up to a window and order. It's right in the heart of OB.

Called in my order to expedite given the difficult parking conditions. This is a nice benefit and time saver! Simple no frills sandwich spot. Outdoor seating and tables if you are there in time. Today we got the classics. Meatballs and Eggplant Parmesan with cheese. Love their bread and the dusting of cornmeal and sesame seeds. Pepperoncini on the side. Yummy. Thank you Poma staff.

The best deli ever! Great customer service and delicious food! My family has been coming here for over 40 years. Highly recommend !

I had been craving Pomas for ages, so it was finally time to get back. Unfortunately for us, it was just okay today.Pomas signature roast beef, is truly, as famous as they make it out to be, so that's always my go-to. Today's roast beef was very soggy though. Granted, it did take me a little while to eat the sandwich, however, that's pretty typical of how I eat my Pomas. Today, I think the sandwich was lathered up with an over abundance of mayo, making the inside soggy. It also seemed as if, Pomas had used a different roll than I'm used to. I always say they have the perfect roll to stand up to that roast beef, however today, the beef won. Overall, the sandwich was lacking flavor.Hopefully today was just an off day. I'll see you again Pomas.

I was hanging out with a couple friends yesterday for one of my buddies birthday and we found our way down in OB and I suggested Poma's (my two friends had never tried this place before) as for me, I was here about two weeks ago maybe less ha ha! Anyhow, my buddies really enjoyed their sandwiches and so did I. The toasted pastrami sandwich got two enthusiastic thumbs up from my friend. I absolutely loved be my Torpedo which I also get toasted. Love this place
