Zoccoli's Delicatessen - Santa Cruz

Excellent food and atmosphere. The entire staff and owner were very friendly and helpful I had the meatloaf sandwich,

First time visitor Wonderful service and employees. I had the best shrimp salad sandwich ever and my husband had the meatball sandwich, which he loved. We had our dogs with us, so the outside seating was great. We'll be back!!

I wish I would have taken before photos. Very clean organized Italian Deli. Staff was super polite and helpful. I ordered turkey on ciabatta bread. Deeeelicous! Everything was so fresh. That Was my first time, but definitely not my last. I'm from fresno and it reminds me of our Sam's Deli here. Can't wait to go back there.

First of all, don't be discouraged if the place is mobbed. Just grab a number and you get to order quickly. They make it fast, around 15 minutes for 4 sandwiches during peak hours on a Sunday. Plenty of cold drinks also. The bread is very nice: crunchy, delicate, and moist. Meatball sandwich was tasty, as was the breaded chicken pesto. Both tasted like they were were made with authentic ingredients (non-generic). Great location, our go-to sandwich spot when we go to downtown Santa Cruz in the afternoon!

What's for lunch? Zoccoli's Italian Deli. Another local fav with the best sandwiches and bread. I go back and forth between a basic turkey sandwich, but today I was craving a French dip. This deli is awesome, they have a variety of specialty sandwiches, desserts, cheese, and even wine. They are located in downtown Santa Cruz at the end near the town clock. They do get crowded at lunch time so you may want to look online and pre-order so you don’t have to wait too long when you arrive.
