Mike’s Deli & Pizza

The pizza is terrible, I hate everything about it and everything is overpriced. If there was a star lower then one that would be my review.

Umm– what Mike’s are these guys visiting? pizza is gross and sandwichs are worse– last trip I got the ravioli, chicken garlic knot lunch special– raviolis were mush chicken was over cooked, like chewing tin foil and they didn’t have knots so I got a hard roll — yuk– this place has gone WAY downhill !

When I moved to NY last year, I wanted to have the «NY Deli» experience. I was referred here and I have to say, to date I have not had a better deli sandwich. I loved it! The put a lot of meat and the guy was cool. The only thing that keeps me coming back more is the price. I had two subs (I’m from the South) two side dishes and chips and two drinks and it was almost 40 bucks.

I came to this deli a few days ago to grab some lunch during a training. I got a pre-​made sandwich, a small container of pasta salad, a bottle of soda and a bottle of water. Total? $ 14. Yeah, ouch. The sandwich was good, it had breaded eggplant, red peppers, cheese and salami on foccacia bread. The pasta salad was tasty as well, but had way too much oil. A couple of other people at the training ordered sandwiches, and it was noticed that that a lot of mistakes were made when making the sandwiches, and they were generous on the meat, but skimpy on tomatoes, using what was literally described as «tomato shavings.» It was okay, not sure I would try again, if I could find a better priced alternative.

MIke’s Deli in the heart of the village of Montgomery is a real deli that makes a real sandwich. The proportion of a sub makes it or breaks it for me. Since I have been going there, the subs have pretty much been consistently well proportion. I love a fat sub and that is how they make it. The put a lot of meat so you get a great tasting sub. The average sub costs around 7 – 8 dollars. It is pretty much in line for the area. One of the owners, Maryanne is very pleasant and remembers just how I like it. That really makes a difference to me. They use and change their gloves while they make your sandwich, which is a plus since I have gone places that either haven’t or when they have they left the gloves on and handled money… You might as well not even wear the gloves if you handle money with them. Occasionally, I see Paul Sr. in the back sitting at the counter (the Pizza parlor side) eating. He probably agrees with me on their food an portions. If you’re in Montgomery, give Mike’s deli a visit and grab a sub. You won’t be disappointed.
