Podesto's Market and Deli

Victor, store manager, was so kind to offer us free sandwiches. Went back yesterday and received amazing sandwiches, just like the ones we have purchased before! So glad they listen to their customers. This is the quality I expect. Thank you! Updated photos.

They have a new salad bar and awesome soup bar. The clam chowder and the chili was excellent prices & are very reasonable. They offer crackers & bread for a small amount. The salad bar looks to die for & it has crab, quinoa, and so many other good toppings. The salad this time but definitely maybe next time. There is seating area adjacent to the deli where you can sit and eat your lunch with a nice view. It is a self serve, salad and soup bar.

I'm reporting g them to the health dept on Monday tomorrow got sandwich lettuce was old tomato looked like it was out all day also they are not using culinary gloves to handle food allready called it in but going downtown tomorrow to file a complaint on podestos

I live in Sacramento now, but there are a few places that I make a point to stop at when I'm passing through or visiting friends.Podesto's has an amazing cheese and deli meat section as well as desserts and a well stocked meat counter. We've never done any "regular" grocery shopping here, but tend to stop by when we need items we can't find elsewhere or are making a charcuterie board for a party. The staff can be busy, but in our experience have always been really friendly.One of my favorite things to stop here for is their sandwiches! They get really busy during lunch, but for good reason. The sandwiches are delicious. I typically order the Hodge Podge on Dutch Crunch but will change it up from time to time.The prepared food section is also great, whether you're looking to pick up sides with lunch, a warm lunch or a meal for later they have some great and tasty options. If you see the mac and cheese available, I highly recommend getting some. IT IS SO GOOD!Lincoln Center has plenty of parking, the Podesto's side can get a bit full, but we've always been able to find a spot. They also have some tables if you would like to enjoy your lunch there or meet up with a friend.

Overall, Podestos is a very good market. They have many of the hard to find, imported items. The Deli department is superb. Some of the best sandwiches in Stockton. I'm giving it 3 stars because you must ALWAYS pay very close attention to the dairy department's expiration dates. I frequently find milk that expired a week before. Just today, November 9, 2024 I saw gallons of milk that expired on November 5, 2024. (See photo). You also have to be careful in the produce department. You'll frequently find produce that is long past its prime and heading into funky town.

I started coming here because a friend recommended one of their sandwiches, and I'm so glad I did! The service is always fast and friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. I also appreciate the wide variety of options, especially on the bakery side. My kids absolutely love coming here just to look at the cute cookies. Highly recommend this place!

I'm so disappointed in this store right now. I went there today and purchased nectarines and peaches because they were beautiful and big. I at first was thinking I better not buy too many because a lot of times fruit are bad quality when you see them on sale or in abundance like they are today at Podestos. However I quickly corrected my thought and convinced myself to purchase them because it's Podesto's. I mean seriously Podestos wouldn't ever sell cold storage fruit that is mushy and tasteless, right? Well WRONG! This fruit is exactly that. I was tricked into buying garbage fruit at Podestos and I'm extremely disappointed. My feelings about this store will forever be tainted now. How dare them stoop to this level. I really thought I could trust that when I buy from Podestos I'm buying only the best. I was wrong unfortunately!

6/19/2023Ohhh how I miss Podesto's..Especially, the famous..Coffee cake crunch..It's great to be able to share memories with my son.. We used to have this cake on special occasions..Picked up some other goodies and a few pastries to take back home.Hot foods and deli also looked good.

Sandwiches are bomb! I recently discovered that I can get my Dutch crunch flipped upside down and hallowed and my life has been changed forever. The sandwiches are nicely portioned. They are made to order and they make em pretty fast for as many orders as they get. Especially during the lunch rush, because that's the main time I come in to get one. They have so many varieties of meats and pasta salads, they have hot food, pastry's, etc. The store is pretty big. I still haven't had the chance to actually walk around it. As I've only come in twice and it was straight to the deli to pick up my sandwich. One day soon I will walk through the isles so I can see what they carry overall. I'm excited to come back and I define it recommend if you're in the area or passing through to stop by!

I really liked P's before the sale. Now I have concerns. The prices are higher and the service and quality is worse. Bad combo. I ordered a prime roast a week before xmas, arrived the date it was supposed to be ready. Nothing was done and some rookie from the meat area cut me the worst roast I've ever had. 40% fat . $220! Merry Christmas.Fix it fellas. And you charge plenty to do a mailer. Your IT ads stink. Steve
