Eastside Market Italian Deli

This family-run Chinatown staple has made excellent Italian sandwiches for over 60 years—and been around for even longer. These days, Eastside Italian Deli has even expanded to a larger outpost in Los Feliz, where you can find the same textbook combination of mortadella, salami, capicola and provolone that has kept this old-school spot around for generations. Our recommendation? The spicy Italian cold cut, which adds hot peppers to the mix. Alongside this standard-bearer you can also get Chicago-style beef (a newer item inspired by The Bear), a mean chicken parm and a host of generously portioned hot sandwiches filled with meatballs, sausage and pastrami that you can definitely share with a friend.
