Many of Denver’s old red-sauce joints have dried up, but Vincenza’s revived the tradition when it opened in Wheat Ridge close to a decade ago. The emphasis here is on authentic Italian fare – whether the breads and cookies sold out of the counter up front, or the fried polenta on the breakfast menu, or […]
This casual deli chain got its start in the Vail Valley in 2003 and now has locations in six states, with two in downtown Denver as well as stores in Westminster and Arvada. While Smiling Moose is a blossoming chain, the company runs each location as a local restaurant, staffed by employees who live in […]
Spinelli’s opened in Park Hill in 1994, but it feels like it’s been around far longer. The friendly neighborhood market is stocked with essentials as well as some gourmet finds – but before you browse, head directly to the deli counter in the back to place your order from a long menu of sandwich options. […]

The European Mart proves that good things come in small packages. This tiny store is packed to overflowing with smoked fish and sauerkraut, kasha and Danish cheeses, even Swiss specialties and Hungarian tidbits tracked down by owner Dmitry Gershengorin — and the deli case is full of imported meats, pretty cakes and other baked items.

Temporarily closed: Part market, part sandwich shop, Carbone’s Italian Sausage Deli almost always has a line of people in front of the counter. In 1974, Rosa Lonardo and her husband, Nick, bought this place from Dominic Carbone, who taught the pair how to make sausages and meatballs the old-fashioned way before turning over the keys […]
“Authentic” is the word at Solomon’s Grocery and European Deli, where the proprietors — Bukharan immigrant Solomon Gurzhiev and his family — are bend-over-backwards friendly, the coolers are stuffed with a dozen varieties of kefir and farmer’s cheese, and mom Gurzhiev whips up homemade pelmeni on request. It might be a long way from Uzbekistan […]
The original six-seater takeout place on Colorado Boulevard was founded by a guy from Pennsylvania, and even though Taste of Philly is now owned by folks from South Jersey, they still know how to make a real Philadelphia cheesesteak. All in all, it’s a perfect sandwich in every way. As an added bonus, there’s a […]

Before there was Subway, Quiznos, Spicy Pickle or Heidi’s Deli, there was All-V’s All Variety, a diner-style sub shop that subsisted for decades on business from the former University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and other nearby hospitals. The medical center has now packed up and moved to Aurora, but All-V’s remains — the last […]
This cozy, family-owned Italian market and deli has been around since 1976. The shelves are lined with imported pasta of all shapes and sizes, olive oil, canned goods, frozen foods like housemade sausages, and so much more. Still, the sandwiches – huge, messy masterpieces loaded onto freshly baked rolls, which you can custom-order with that […]
During his tenure as owner of the venerable East Side Kosher Deli, Joshua Horowitz has been carefully revamping the deli counter and grocery store.

Cook’s Fresh Market is a quick stop on the 16th Street Mall shuttle circuit, but you’ll want to get off and stay a while once you get a glimpse of the gourmet bakery, deli, prepared-foods case, cheese counter and shelves stocked with homemade nibbles, European specialty foods and spices. There’s even a small cooler in […]

The Old Fashioned has held down this corner for two generations, beginning with Tom Panzarella, a born-and-bred Buffalo native who came to Denver in 1976; Tom’s son Dave now works the counter. On the outside, the silvered windows are covered with hand-painted advertisements for deli sandwiches, calzones and Sahlen’s hot dogs — the only Buffalo-style […]
A certain spiky-haired television personality may have been the one to turn a lot of people on to this strip-mall eatery in southeast Denver when he stopped by in 2011, but now 55 years old, the Bagel Deli was a favorite with fans of Jewish deli fare long before that. One part of the space […]
