La Gioia Italian Deli

From the second we walked in, we felt like family. Such a cute little shop with the warmest, most welcoming energy — the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. My friends Jorge and Sue referred us here, and now I understand why they spoke so highly of it. The food was unreal — fresh bread, stacked portions, and made with real care and pride. This isn’t just a sub shop, it’s a place that actually cares about people and quality. We’re so grateful for the recommendation and will absolutely be coming back again and again. Support spots like this — they’re special.

Can’t make a sandwich right, ordered an American mix with bacon. No roast beef and she forgot the bacon. Watched another girl make the complete wrong sandwich but at least she ended up making the right one for the guy.

Fantastic Italian deli I was lucky enough to discover today. Highly recommend the homemade roast beef and the prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sub. Look forward to returning!

If anyone wants a nice fresh cut sub, this is this place. I normally do not drive up Van Vranken, but today I did.... boy, was I glad I did. Parking is a little difficult, especially if you're a first timer like me..... but once you go, you'll know where to park. You go in, and you're greeted by staff behind the counter. The deli is bright and very clean. They have all you Italian cooking needs on and around the shelves. It was about 4 to 5 people in front of me, but they were quick on moving people through. The young lady asked what I wanted ....I do my normal "surprise, I don't want to know." She smiles, and I got something for you... I had no clue until I opened it up, and it was stacked with 3 different meats, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, salt / pepper ... and the best part ro
