This place was so damn good. I had a chicken Parm sandwich and man it was beyond delicious. The prices are very affordable as well. The sandwiches had soft bread with a crispy outside. Great taste and texture. Please go by and check them out, everything is cooked to perfection!

Went to papa Napoli today since a long time and let me tell you something! This place is superb friendly staff and the pastrami with everything on it OMG! Pastrami was sticking out the sand which and crispy ends with a soft and tender bite in the middle. I’m definitely a returning customer

This is a Hot Pastrami.Maybe my hand is just small, but these sandwiches are a pretty good size. Nicely toasted bread. Theres melted cheese on the bottom, then the meat, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and onions.Top half of the sandwich has red wine vinaigrette.This is one of the best pastrami sandwiches Ive ever had. Its not bland, there is flavor in every bite including the meat by itself. I love that the pepperoncinis are already in it, usually its upon request, or on the side. Very good local place. Been here a few times. Definitely recommend for a good tasting sandwich.

I have been coming to papa’s since late 80’s when papa was there, the quality and service has only improved since his son took it over in 2005 after papa passed away. This family is a role model to how proud they are to keep the family restaurant alive !! Customer for life... GO YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Was passing through and thought an italian sandwich sounded good. This place is not too far from the 101, so headed over. Its a relatively small place and decorated very italian. The lady the took my order was very nice. I decided on a half hot pastrami sandwich, a macaroni salad side, and a cannoli. It was not a long wait before I got my food.I started eating it right away. The half sandwich is pretty small which would have been ok if it made up in tastiness. It didnt. Flavors ok. But the meat was tough and hard. Very tough to eat. Definitely over cooked. And they included a whole peppercini pepper! Should have been slices throughout so you get it throughout the sandwich. The only thing good about the sandwich was the bread. I have never had a hot pastrami like that.Next, the macaroni salad. WAY too much mayo. And to me it was bland. I only got the mayo taste, nothing else.Lastly, the cannoli. I have had many cannolis around the USA and even Italy. Need to take a cannoli class. Bland, no flavor whatsoever. I looked at it right when i got in my vegicle and it already had watery substance in it. Sgould necer happen to a cannoli when someone first receives it. A true cannoli should be creamy with italian goodness. Not sure what this was.Even got a second opinion and they agreed with me on all the food. Completely disappointed. Will not be back. Waste of my money.

Talk about a tempting place to eat. Papa Napolis is a family-owned business that makes their meatballs and sauce on Mondays. They do a lot of pre prep for the week on Mondays and the entire strip mall theyre located in smells like meatballs and sauce and deliciousness. Their sauce is traditionally a thinner sauce with stronger basil and oregano taste to it. It is delightful but I am more fond of the thicker style. They are known for their hot pastrami sandwich.. I havent tried it yet but I hear that its wonderful. I guess thats a reason to come back and try the restaurant again when Im in town. I did try their cannoli and it was good. The shell wad premade and it would have been nice had the chocolate chips been a little smaller but it was tasty nonetheless. One thing I thought was really cute was generations of family pictures on the walls and every table had a deck of cards and a small Jenga set to enjoy while you wait.
