Place is good. The salad bar is a good cheap option. The pork buns are bomb. The over roasted turkey is great. The owners are cool… And the lady named Sunny who works here is a sweetheart. I wish they were open for dinner and sometimes prices fluctuate depending on who is working the register. Highly recommended… Good people to support.

Sandwiches are alright. Lasagna is bad… I should have known. Winton Deli down the road is cleaner and better tasting.

Went a little after 1pm and salad bar was well picked through but a decent variety and fairly fresh. Not much of a décor but it is an industrial park.

Too bad they’re closed now. I like pick a deli. Their staff always talks to you and greets you with a smile. Their sandwiches are fairly priced and if you want extra peppers or pickles it isn’t a big deal to them. Parking lot is small, but it uually isn’t that packed since street parking is actually the easier option.

A great place to get your favorite sandwiches. It’s a No frills No chills place: you go here you tell them what sandwich you like according to their price written on a board on the wall you grab a bag of chip and a can of soda then you grab your sandwich and pay. You seat down and you eat… Very simple. They have a big screen TV where you can watch some news. This place is no different from any other delis where you usually get your sandwiches BUT what they offer you is they give you more substantial amount of meat in your sandwich + they also give you a slice of pickle and a couple black olives and a piece of pepperoncini pepper. They have seating inside and some of the outside. They have everything from pastrami to roast beef and different types of brad with all the condiments. This would be my old NEW hangout in the morning for it’s a good 3.5 miles from my house which is accessible by riding a bicycle. I highly recommend this place i you happen to be around the Hayward Area.

Sorry, the owners seem to be nice people, but the lack of cleanliness turns me off big time. Just look at the floor, looks like it has not been cleaned, ever. I witnessed a very unsafe food practice on early morning,(rather disgusting) and that was the last time for me. I wish i could give it a higher rating, i used to eat at the old location from time to time.

I seem to have become a regular for lunch here. Just a mile from my office so it was easy I guess. Although nothing fancy at all, the food is always very good and very affordable too. What I really like is that they offer different hot meal specials every day. Today I had meatloaf with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies for $ 7.96 with tax included. And it was delish. Great sandwiches too. Service is always prompt and efficient. It is in an unusual spot being in an industrial/office park type area. If you are not paying attention, you could miss it. So if you try to find it and think you are in the wrong location, keep going. It’s there.

Good fresh roasted turkey sandwich. The problem was taking the advice of the sandwich maker(who was very sweet) to substitute French baguette for Dutch crunch which they ran out of. Wow. It was like shoe leather. I ended up eating the turkey and cheese and then eating the bread. It wasn’t bad tasting – the bread just didn’t match the filling. Note to self: save the baguette for toasting with garlic butter and stick with a soft bread for the turkey sandwich.

Wow I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I stumbled upon this fairly busy deli whilst taking my grandmother on an errand. It was uplifting hearing every customer dining in & out having nothing but magnificent compliments of the restaurant. At first my grandmother and I were just keeping warm from the breeze since my luck I locked the keys in the car and had too call AAA. Bummer After that I worked up quite an appetite so I decided to give the fast paced deli a try. Everything was so good from the accuracy of the order to the freshness of my product. My meal was an pastrami sandwich with a drink. Sandwich came with pickles and olives. Just mouth watering flavor with every bite. I would DEFINITELY recommend to friends, family and loved ones.

It’s super close to work so I only go here for convenience’s sake. They’ve served my friend a sandwich with avocado that had black veining which was not even edible. It’s basically impossible to not notice all the black veining when it was sliced up and put in the sandwich. It’s offensive they’d even serve it. I’ve had their chicken teriyaki plate a few times and it somewhat does the job. I like the fried rice it comes with but there’s something about the chicken that doesn’t feel right. It tastes like processed pre-frozen chicken strips with store bought sauced placed on top. I’m used to marinating and grilling, instead of a sauce on top of defrosted meat. I’ll be back due to convenience but Star Café(on Winton) isn’t too ridiculously far that convenience won’t outweigh taste and quality too often.

Roasted turkey bacon avo on a sourdough roll… Yum. Been a customer since their old location. We order here for all of our business meetings. Tried other places. Everytime everyone says what about that really great place down the street? And then im back@pick a deli! They even have delivery!

2 stars only because the owners were so sincerely enthusiastic. Otherwise, blech. Awful bread, tasteless sandwich, life-sapping industrial park interior. Where an appetite goes to die. But the owners were sooo nice…

I saw this little sign that said«Pick-A-Deli» hanging off of a tree. Ill pick a deli because at that same moment my tummy was growling and I needed lunch. Its in a large commerical complex. From the outside its very devoid of character and seems very sterile to look at. Inside is a different story. A very mixed crowd of suits, grubby mechanic jumpsuits and yes my pretentious ass. The have a surprisingly nice menu and it was a very hard decision between the Large Salad bar option or the Roast Turkey Sandwich with Bacon and Avocado. I went with the Roast Turkey and Bacon option. They whip your sandwich up very fast. I was really put off by the clutter of the place. Clutter on the counters, clutter near the tables, clutter behind the counter, clutter near the register. The floors were also filthy. Honestly thats my only complaint. My sandwich was a delight. I liked the bread and thats all the really matters to me. I would probably go back again if I was in the area. The car dismantlers near by are kind of cool to look at while you sit in the car and eat your sandwich. I cant imagine very many people will venture out to this industrial area for lunch but if you happen to be out here stop by.

Food is okay. Service is okay. Staff is friendly. It’s down the street from where I work and the convenience of that will encourage me to stop by again.

Great place. I have been going for quite a few years and today I checked out their new place. They moved about 4 minutes from where they used to be and this place is a lot bigger. It’s very clean looking and there is a lot more parking than their previous place. Everyone that works here is always super nice. It makes me happy to support their business. I love their tuna sandwiches. I have had the turkey as well and they are also great. Sandwiches come with 2 olives and a pickle. If you are on a diet and looking for somewhere nearby to eat healthy, Pick-A-Deli has an awesome salad bar. It has a lot of variety of vegetables and other«salady» ingredients and they offer small or large containers to make your own salad. I think the small is plenty big and when I got it I was shocked that it was under $ 3. It was 2 something. I can’t remember exactly how much. You can’t beat that price to get a salad full of veggies and beans! Also, they take credit and debit cards and don’t make you spend«x» amount of dollars before letting you use your card like other delis do. I think that’s really convenient of them.

I’ll say wait til you see the new place, and compare to the old place. The new place is better and would do a lot of decorations & refurbishing here and there because right now it looks like cafeteria, but other than that, it’s a place to go to for a lunch break.

My friend at work wanted to go check this place out b/c a girl who works with us came back with this massive salad that she was able to make herself and it was only down the street from our office. I’m always up for anything and trying new places so we went with some other friends at work to try it. We almost passed it up b/c the driveway was kinda inconspicuous and small. We walked in with loads of smile and friendly greetings. The salad bar is definitely something to write about! They don’t keep much out b/c they want to insure that everything is fresh so we asked for a few more items to be replenished and they did it with no problems. I liked that a lot. I love making my own salad. The ladies totally upsold me when they asked if I wanted grilled chicken for the salad so I said, sure! Keep in mind, they charge $ 2 extra for that, which they didn’t disclose, but it wasn’t a bad deal at all. It was 2 chicken breasts cut in slices and definitely added to my salad making it more exciting to eat. Another gal got a salad with me and the other two got sandwiches, which looked yummy, as well. I like that they are really nice and while we were eating, they came by to make sure everything was ok and we were doing fine. They also keep a really clean restaurant. I’ll definitely come back to order a sandwich, but I am definitely a fan of the salad bar.
