15
items From piled-high pastrami and Italian hoagies to pressed Cubans and over-the-top grilled cheese, Orlando and Kissimmee have a seriously underrated sandwich scene. These are the delis and sandwich shops locals actually line up for - perfect for a quick...
Map
South Philly style hoagies and cheesesteaks on Lee Rd with the meat sliced fresh right in front of you. The Famous Italian with the works is the move.
LaSpada's Original Cheesesteaks & Hoagies
Milk District gem stacked with imported meats and cheeses. The Italian sub on fresh bread and the homemade mozzarella are worth the line.
Stasio's Italian Deli & Market
Creative, over-the-top sandwiches that made it onto national TV. Come hungry and bring napkins - these are two-hand situations.
Bad As's Sandwich PRIMROSE
An Orlando institution since 1968. Hot roast beef piled on a steamed bun plus crispy Beefy Spuds - old school in the best possible way.
Beefy King
Florida's own deli chain and still the standard for a proper Reuben and matzo ball soup around Orlando. The Dr. Phillips location is my go-to, and the black and white cookies are dangerous.
TooJay’s Deli • Bakery • Restaurant
The Holiday Turkey is famous for a reason - turkey, stuffing and cranberry on warm bread. The Disney Springs shop is the original, and it is my go-to cheap lunch when I am out there.
Earl of Sandwich
Family-run Winter Park favorite on Fairbanks where the pressed Cuban and the fresh-baked bread do the talking. Prices are old-school and the portions are huge.
Manzano's Deli
Real-deal New York bagels in Sanford since the '70s. The bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel is a weekend ritual for half the county.
Bagel King Bakery
Winter Park's grilled cheese specialists. The Mac Daddy stuffs mac and cheese inside a grilled cheese and it is exactly as glorious as it sounds.
Toasted | Crafted Grilled Cheese & Burgers
Tiny new-school deli with cult-status breakfast sandwiches on housemade focaccia. Check their hours before you go - they regularly sell out.
Deli Desires
Oviedo's Italian market and deli in one. Order a stacked sub, then browse the imported cheeses, olives, and sauces while they make it.
Cavallari Gourmet
For recreating a pressed Cuban at home - a hot press, a little butter, and patience. Weeknight sandwiches will never be the same.
Sandwich Makers & Panini Presses
Good deli sandwiches start with cleanly sliced bread. A proper serrated knife means no more squashed loaves on sandwich night.
Serrated Bread Knife
Southern comfort food in the Milk District, and the sandwiches are the sleeper hit. The Minnie Pearl fried chicken biscuit sandwich is worth every calorie, and grab a slice of pie on the way out.
Se7en Bites
Buying whole roasts and slicing paper-thin at home is how I keep deli-quality sandwiches going between visits to these spots. Pays for itself fast versus buying pre-sliced.
