Niccoli's Italian Grocery-Deli – Phoenix Arizona

March 9, 2017

When we arrived for maybe bit late of a lunch there were no other customers inside. The owner lady was kind of in our way telling another employee were to put something and another lady said “mom you’re in their way”. Eventually we made it inside to the quite crowded area by the counter and meat counter and by all the other Italian items to buy. Normally you would order at the counter, but the owner just gave us a menu and told us we could just go sit in the dining area and she’d come take our order. So that’s what we did. All 3 of us decided we wanted a half Italian sub, so she wrote down one and a half Italian sandwiches because she wanted it to be cheaper for us ($9 for the whole $6 for the half). And she also told us all the kinds of drinks they had in cans, so we all three ordered a can of Coke to go with our sandwiches. Fairly soon after this another lady brought out our sandwiches on paper plates along with some napkins. And we were ready to eat.
 
 
This sub I thought was very good and had all your basic Italian meats Genoa salami, Capicolla, Mortadella, Ham with provolone and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Pepperoncini and dressing and the bread was pretty good to go with it all, so pretty much a basic Italian sandwich that tasted quite good. The owner here was very nice and she made sure to come thank us again and see how everything was. As well as when we went to pay at the counter before we left. I really enjoyed this family-run Italian deli. The sandwich was really good and the service was good and all the staff was very friendly and helpful and I would sure be happy to return for another very good sandwich.

Defalcos Deli Scottsdale Arizona

March 11, 2014

 
This place was featured on Diners drive-ins and dives. This day I kind of wanted something a little lighter for lunch so I thought a sandwich from a deli would be the perfect thing. When we arrived the place was kind of busy.   It was very crowded to get around. Once we got in line on the way to the front we got to look at all the meats and cheeses and side dishes along the way. Then when we got fairly close you could see the menu.   I still had time to figure out what I want before I ordered. Once we got to the front mom ordered a half Italian combo on a baguette, I got a half Italian combo on the focaccia bread and dad got a half a cheesesteak. To go along with these we all three had regular sized drinks. So after we ordered and had our drink cups which we filled, we were lucky to be able to find a table between all the Italian goods on the shelves and all the other people that were waiting for there to go order or shopping.
 
Our table was next to the San Marzano tomatoes. From here we had to wait for what seemed like forever for our sandwiches. But eventually they were brought out
 
 
mine was filled with meat along with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Italian dressing, mustard, and mayonnaise. I had the half version but it was rather large for a half. All the meat in my sandwich was pretty good except for the mortadella which I found out was like baloney which I didn't care for.
 
 
Dad really liked his cheesesteak thought it was one of the better ones he's had.
 
 
Mom's was just like mine but with a different kind of bread which she seemed to like. This was at another successful trip for lunch especially for a slightly lighter lunch.
