Rinaldi’s Italian Deli

Their meatball & chicken parmesan heros are phenomenal. $ 8 for a hearty sub that fills you very well is a great deal. A great New York style Italian deli in northern Phoenix makes me feel like I’m back on Long Island, can’t miss.

Just passing by one morning and wanted breakfast. Saw Dunkin Donut’s and this in one building. Chain vs. local business. Had to go with this place and glad I did. I had a breakfast burro (sausage, egg, and cheese that came with a small tub of salsa) which was $ 4.50. I must say, it was really good! The burro was made with love lol. I recommend for others to try out their breakfast items!

Stopped in for a sandwich and they serve boars head meats. Got a club sandwich with some chips. It was cut fresh and made quickly. Was a good sandwich but price was high. I would go back but based on price it will not be that often.

The best Cobb Salad I’ve ever had! Our office staff orders at least 3x weekly from here. Wonderful service as well!

I had baked ziti, meatballs, salad and a roll.
The ziti noodles were mushy, the top was crispy due to being exposed all day (it’s 1pm right now) the flavor was ok.
The meatballs were good. A tad greasy but good.
The salad was ok. The lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber were good. The dressing was prepackaged, but decent.
The roll was old. It was stale yesterday. Not good.
Without a drink the total was 9 bucks. For ok food.. meh.

Amazing! Made a quick stop after dropping the kids off at gym and took a chance with a new spot and it was great! Perfect bread !!!

The service and quality of the food is very good. What I do not like is they play the TV at max volume. Today there was a 25 year old football game on the TV blasting as loud as it can go. You cannot even here the person you are with talking. Turn down the TV, better yet turn it off.

I’m a glutton for punishment. High prices low qualiity and I keep coming back. Never again. Salad was horrible, all stocks of romaine lettuce and the avocado was brown. I’ve tapped out.

I had not been here in more than 2 years. I am glad to see that the food here is still good. My Italian sub was made very quickly and was quite tasty.
a little over 3 years ago I met the owner and he talked with us about his business and how it was tough making a profit with the price of gas being so high. We had a good talk and he gave us free cannolis.
I’m glad to see he did not skimp on the quality of his ingredients. I hope business is improving with the price of gas going down.

Food is OK but way overpriced. «Hot» brisket sandwich was COLD. Chicken Parmesan sandwich was wrapped in tin foil. I had to pick foil out of the cheese. I won’t be returning.

Haven’t been here for a while but prices went up and food quality went down. Such a shame

Ordered a max burrito with sausage. I was given a ham burrito. The burrito was tiny! It cost about 6 bucks or so with a tip. The burro had egg, ham, potato, and cheese. It was very small and not very good. The salsa was okay but overpowered with garlic.
This will teach me to order a burro at an Italian deli!
Wont be back and dont recommend.

The quality of ingredients makes the difference here. Love their bacon egg and cheese croissant. I love that they sell Martinelli’s Apple juice, which is one of the best unless you are making your own fresh Apple juice. I took off one star because they don’t consistently open on time. They are supposed to open at 7am and one day at 7:15 it still was not open. This was not a fluke. Happened several times. I stopped going for a while because of this. However the sandwiches are so good that I have returned, just not as frequently. My review is based on breakfast. Never been for lunch.

The prices are very high for deli sandwiches. You do not get much value for the cost. Customer service here reminds me of the Seinfeld Soup episode where the owners/​workers are not very friendly, seem to not care if you return as a loyal customer, and I felt that my patronizing went unappreciated.
I like to be appreciated as a customer, and valued. It would be nice to be greeted with a friendly hello, and a thank you when you leave, but that is not the case here on my experience.
I won’t be visiting again. There are far less pricey sandwich shops and delis around with much friendlier customer service.

2.7÷5 Average deli. Better than Subway for sure but nothing out of the ordinary, could have got the same ingrediants from the deli at Albertsons and made my own.

The past three times I’ve come through to renaldi’s deli I’ve ordered a chicken cesar salad with bacon, and it USED to be fantastic.
Well, the salad has been pitiful at best compared to the last times i’ve been here. Either quality control, or staffing has gone down hill.
I’m not expecting much going out for a salad for lunch, but at least hook it up with some protein, I paid $ 10 for the following:

So I paid $ 10 for some over-​priced wilted lettuce, 2 strips of bacon, and ¹⁄₈^th of a chicken breast. WTF Rinaldi’s !?
You used to be quality, now you just outright price gouge and not offer a satisfying meal. For shame.
Edit: It get’s worse, how hard is it to make a cesar salad? My dressing was ranch :\

Delicious premium sandwiches. Meatball extra cheese and the Italian combo are the best!
Don’t forget to try the canoli as well!

This is a clean place with a few TV’s around. You order your food and they call your number when it’s ready. They have a pretty diverse menu, so there’s probably something for everyone.
I had a late lunch and ordered one of the specials, Chicken Parmesan sandwich. It was okay, but nothing to write home about. I’ve been in there for breakfast as well. The breakfast sandwiches are good but can be a little pricey.

I think I’ll be kind and round up to 4, though I believe 3.5 is fair. This is a fine place — the prices are decent for the amount of food you get, it tastes pretty good, and the menu is quite vast for a deli.
The lunch rush here can be absolutely crazy, largely because of the large Honeywell facility that it practically shares a parking lot with. The earlier the better, lest you have a long wait… I recommend pre-11:15am for lunch.
I’ve had the sausage and peppers, as well as the Italian sub. Both were good… the bread left a bit to be desired though. The sausage and other meats were tasty, minus them obviously forgetting to remove the «skin» or wrapping from the pepperoni, which isn’t something fun to discover mid-​bite.
The people here do seem quite authentic New York — they’re OK, they get the job done, but are not overly friendly. Oh well…

Rinaldi’s Italian Deli is a very good place for lunch if your in this area and looking for something a little lighter than a burger and fries. They are conveniently located near the corner on Deer Valley and 19^th ave, next to Dunkin Donuts. They are open for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner.
I recommend going during breakfast or lunch if your interested in their «Specials of the Day» that are on their hot plates. These items don’t look too appetizing if you go by in the late afternoon or evening.
They offer homemade soups and fresh cut salads loaded with just about anything you could imagine. They have a small selection of homemade pasta salads as well.
I had their pastrami on rye with their spicey, nazzle opening, and horse radishy dressing. The pastrami was very good but had to be heated in a micro-​wave. My sandwich was assembled very well so props to the girl behind the counter! Their Italian pasta salad was excellent. Their Cob salad was also very good, nothing fancy but a good balance of veggies, bacon, egg, tomato, blue cheese, avocado with grilled chicken.
Not one of the better deli’s in Phoenix but loads better than any chain deli! It’s a nice alternative to burgers and fries.
