    Gioia's Deli on The Hill since 1918

    ★★★★ · 4 forks Casual · $

    Gioia's Deli on The Hill is a St. Louis classic and definitely one of the best sandwich spots in the city. You’ve got to try your sandwich on the garlic cheese bread; it's a game-changer.

    Sandwiches · The Grove

    The Gramophone

    ★★★★½ · 4.5 forks Casual · $

    The Gramophone is one of my favorite sandwich spots in the city. They serve unique, flavor-packed sandwiches that always hit the spot. The patio is great, and they stay open late, which is a bonus. Just a tip: weekends c…

    Sandwiches · The Hill

    Adriana's On the Hill

    ★★★ · 3 forks Casual · $

  5. 5

    Sandwiches · Tower Grove

    Garden Variety Deli

    ★★★½ · 3.5 forks

    Garden Variety Deli serves fresh-tasting farm-to-table sandwiches and salads. They’re definitely on the pricey side, but the sandwiches are really yummy. Worth a visit if you're looking to treat yourself.

    LeGrand's Market and Catering

    ★★★½ · 3.5 forks Casual · $

    LeGrand's Market and Catering has a cult following that I just don’t get. Sure, it’s good, but it doesn’t hold a candle to spots like Gioia's or Grammophone. Definitely check it out if you're curious, but I won't be rush…

    Sandwiches · The Hill

    Eovaldi's Deli & Catering

    ★★ · 2 forks Casual · $

    Eovaldi's Deli & Catering is a local family-owned sandwich shop that’s a solid alternative to Gioia's on the Hill. It’s definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but if you’re looking for a change, it’s worth a visit.

    Sandwiches · The Hill

    Southwest Market Cuisine

    ★★★ · 3 forks Casual · $

    Southwest Market Cuisine is a fun hidden gem old time grocery store turned into a sandwich shop that's been run by the same owner for years. The traditional subs are solid, and the best part? You get a free cookie with e…

    Sandwiches · Clayton

    Protzel's Delicatessen

    ★★★ · 3 forks Casual · $$

    Protzel's Delicatessen is another solid Jewish deli in Clayton. I dive into the pastrami sandwich, which hits the spot, and the knishes are a must-try. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a visit.

    Sandwiches · South City

    Bubba’s Deli

    ★★½ · 2.5 forks Casual · $

    Another local Deli spot. Don't have much to say.
