Paul’s special. Great local deli!
Classic. Pastrami, potato and macaroni salad top notch and still reasonable with their prices.
First time at Pauls today! The Hero and Italian Sandwiches are amazing!!! Fresh Italian bread and you get a lot of meat! Matt was very friendly and gave great service even when he was super busy! Will definitely be back...a lot!
The food was great, the prices good, and the staff friendly and quick. Ill be back here for sure.
Got the Italian and a hero at Pauls and it was delicious. Great bread and sliced to order meat that makes a great sandwich. Matt is awesome and the nostalgia of the little place brings me back to New York. Definitely making Pauls my new deli spot.
Very friendly small business owner shop. I had the half Italian sandwich and it was good. Not the best I ever had but passable. A full sandwich probably could feed 4. Lots of sandwiches to try so Ill most likely be back.
I tried an Italian sausage sandwich and it was the real deal. Large size is for two people. Italian and salad menu items as well.
Best sandwich place in orange county, this is the place I compare other delis to. Ill drive a half hour each way to get my Pauls fix. 2022 update: still great! Pastrami was great
I think that was the best egg salad sandwich Ive ever had, and Im 51 years old. I told them over the phone how I wanted it and it was perfect. A lot of places mess up on sandwiches or add what they think you will like. Friendly staff.
Went to this deli for the first time a few days ago. Got a hot turkey sandwich. When I looked at it I was like....Man, that looks good. Best sandwich I ever had. Moist, and delicious. Ive gone back every day since then. They have a pretty large menu and the prices are good. 8 sandwiches start at 6 bucks and 16 sandwiches start at 11 bucks. The tip jar is always stuffed. I always leave a dollar tip because the food is excellent. Good service. Good prices.
Best food ever. Service is always great. Been eating here for over seven years.My favorite is french dip, meat so tender & bread is fresh. Restaurant is always clean. Sandwiches are huge & lots of meat.
Best Sandwich in Orange County! Matt is an amazing business owner and treats every customer like they are family. Any sandwich or pasta you go with is next level and made to order. GO GO GO
Definition of hidden gem and Junior is a treasure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Came here on a referral from my dad and I have to say ... Coming from an Italian family this place is authentic the bread the cuts and pasta all delicious. The partrami with the bread and extra pickles ... Ill definitely be back. Forgot to mention the boxing and sports memorabilia from wall to wall was pretty cool too. Thank you for the amazing service.
Old school small Italian Deli. Very good bread and fresh ingredients. Italian sandwich was delicious. I got it as it comes but with toasted bread. Pasta salad was good too. Prices were very reasonable and great service. Well definitely be back.
This is our second family! Best people in town! I order food for my students once a month and daily subs for myself and my family.They always go the extra mile to make sure that their catering service is flawless! Best subs in Westminster!
Cant get enough of this place, been going here since high school. My daughter loves this place her Favorite are the cannolis and the Alfredo always so cheesy . Sandwiches are ALWAYS FRESH MADE TO ORDER! Paul & son & staff are Always Friendly & Happy to serve you. Mom & Pop shop You Will love. Pauls is Our Family Choice for dinner constantly. Parking isnt a problem when we seem to go. Prices are Great! Try dessert you wont be dissapointed! See you soon here!
By far the best delicatessen in Westminster I’ve been going here for over 20 years I recommend The Paul’s special. (Club sandwich) and the red pasta heated. I also love the Capacola and pepper beef.
The food was absolutely delicious. You get much more than what you pay for and the quality is great. You can tell that only the best ingredients are used. The food is very reasonably priced and the portions are large! The staff is also so incredibly friendly. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Definitely will be coming back during future trips. Love, the Vegas girls :)
The staff is great talked football with them for like 10mins. The meatball sandwich is great!!! Super juicy and flavorful. Bread was soft but still had a crunch to it.
Excellent place to grab a pasta or sandwich. Old school classic delicatessen feel with the boxing memorabilia everywhere and some old time service. Father-son combo run the restaurant, and they do an excellent job of making your experience pleasurable again and again.
Intimate place with sports memorabilia and old Italian nick nacks . Has a nice selection of hot and cold sandwiches, salads, and pastas like spaghetti, lasagna ect. With 3 sauces to choose from. Friendly service. Great food. Average cost.
Pauls deli is simply amazing. Everything they put in their sandwiches is high quality. Their sides are delicious and always fresh. Best deli Ive been to in Orange County.
Absolutely delightful! Real Italian flavor deli!
The best sandwiches anywhere. Pauls special with white pasta salad.... makes my mouth water. And the employees are very friendly.
Da bomb, pasta, sandwiches, get sum!
Best meatball & sausage subs. Its how the they prepare the meats & sausage. Its special & so is the help. Professional, efficient & very friendly. Its worth your time & your familys.
This place has the best meatball sandwhichs and pasta dishes. The turkey sandwhichs are pretty good to. All the staff is really friendly and food always comes out quick. Lots of cool sports stuff on the walls to look at.
This is real Italian style deli. Paul and his son Aka the sandwich gangster I call him lol, they get the job done right and there staff is also amazing and friendly. The food is to die for the best hot and cold sandwiches in town hands down.
I never thought in a million years I would find somebody as quirky as me until I walked into the sandwich shop and met the owner. Cool guy great sandwiches
Before Yelp Monday Movie nights, a few Yelpers usually meet here for dinner since its right across the street from the theatre.I was invited by the lovely Laina and finally had a chance to sit down, eat with the Yelp crew, and check this place out.The deli is tiny. We grabbed a table front and center for our small group and most of us just ordered the daily special - chicken parm or the raviolis. I went with the raviolis. Food is made to order so it takes a bit which gave us time to catch up on life and mingle with new Yelpers which is something I always love to do and help bring them into the fold.Food finally arrived and it was hot and fresh and quite filling. Sauce was generous, garlic bread was toasty and garlickly, and to top it off, we got some complimentary cannolis and great service! Overall, a great success and Im sure well all be back.
Westminster$ Finest Old school (1970s) restaurant in the city!! Cant get any better than that plus my boy piña works here. Bomb food, big portions and pricing is affordable. Locals love the food and out-of-towners are encourage to eat at this restaurant!! :-)
Walked over to this place and it was amazing.The meatball sub is the best that I have ever had. I will definitely come back here. That made my day.
Amazing food, super friendly staff. The Best sandwiches for 50 miles at least. Pasta sauces, garlic bread, chicken caesar all AMAZING!
The best deli in Westminster I order the pork roast sandwich and also I order the roast beef sandwich cold the bomb I come here like 3 times a month sometimes even sooner and also theyre cold pasta the white one is so delicious good prices been coming here for about 9 years now and also the owner son always had a smile on his face all of the workers there are very nice and quick as well
The food here is sooo good! I like the mom and pop atmosphere, everyone here is so friendly and the owner is the nicest guy! Prices are low, quality is high and they are vegetarian friendly !
Great place for years! notice that the only 2 star is some guy saying its bad compared to Mexican food, well good thing they are Italian and have no Mexican food there! Deffiently an unfair review down there.
Mom and pop deli with the best prosciutto sandwich around. Generous portions for a reasonable price. Definitely pop by if you are in the area, even if you are grabbing a bite to go.
Been coming here since I was a kid. The food here is the best quality! Now I bring my family here. A definite family favorite always!
The staff were friendly and the bread was awesome. The only reason they dont get a full 5 stars is because they were out of egg salad, our primary reason for going there.
YUP! Delicious! Everything is good here. The owner has personality. He makes you feel right at home.
Best deli in town. Great sandwiches cold, and hot. Pasta dishes are also amazing. Cant go wrong here.
I eat at Pauls 75 times a year and always look forward to it and have never been anything be extremely satisfied. Try them once and you not eat a sandwich anywhere else in the area! :) You cant fake top-notched ingredients.
Head on into Pauls deli for a knock out sandwich with a lot of super cool boxing and sports memorabilia on the walls. Ill be back to try some other items from the menu
As always the food is amazing. Why go to a chain sandwich place when you can go to Pauls Deli and get so much more for a reasonable price?
Sandwiches well priced and super good, I had the hot pastrami. Wish I could eat here all the time because there was so much more to chose from.
Awesome staff and a fantastic chicken parmesan sandwich.Definitely got a lot of food for the money.Im going back again.A nice quaint Italian deli.
Absolutely the best deli in southern Orange County. Hell with it, all of California!! Amazing history, make sure to study the walls. Legends
This is a neighborhood staple! Really great tasty food and sandwiches. Pauls is a Westminster landmark that locals have grown to love. Delish!
Service with a smile and excellent food to go with it . always feels like going to see family when I go to pauls deli best sandwich shop around .
Love Pauls Italian sandwich! Delicious. And there is boxing memorabilia on every square inch of wall.
Simular to Subway sandwiches. Very friendly owner who waits on you. This place has been around for years.
What a horrible disappointment! I was really looking forward to the Reuben Sandwich. Not even close! Disgusting! I have no clue how you have received such good ratings. No way! No how! Shut it down.
We visit 1maybe2 times a year a must stop every time thanks Pauls deli best sandwiches in town Jim An Janie Boise Idaho
5 star nothing less. Best subs period. Anyone who says otherwise is a chump.
Everything is amazing!
Oooo so yummy!!
This place is awesome!!!!!!! The staff are very friendly. I tried their meatball sandwich and it was great. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars for this place
Cluster of spider webs hung over the food preparation counter. The swaying spider webs could easily fall into the dishes of food. Not healthy.
Awesome food and sandwiches, Ive been coming here since high school 23 years, good stuff
The chicken parma sandwich is awesome, daily specials are a great bargin, and the staff is awesome. Best Italian deli Ive found.
Awesome sandwiches better than the big chain sandwich shops, Quality ingredients!
Great hot sandwiches and desserts !! Really looking forward to trying their pastas
Absolutely great. Great food, great prices and over all great service, staff and the portions are very good! I recommend giving it a try!!
Great sandwiches. No skimping on the good stuff. Nice crusty sandwich rolls... hard to come by in SoCal.
Amazing service mixed with excellent food! The only thing better than their workers is their French Dip!
Not as good as it once was. They were out of Beef ravioli, a menu listed item, and didnt realize they were out until after we were seated.
Everything fresh including the greatest sandwich bread roll Ive ever had. Half sandwich is a meal. Full sandwich means you eat for two days.
Huge amount of beef in my beef dip...roll was oh so fresh and the cheese was melted perfectly. Yum
Great sandwiches and pasta for over 40 years.
You have not had a real sandwich until you get one here and once you get one youll see why
2 words Pauls Special!

Owner refuses to wear a mask regardless of the multiple posted signs in restaurant. Bread was dry.
If the smell of fresh garlic doesnt lure you in. Food is delicious and reasonably priced.

2023-09-28 19:19:42Were new to the area and we thought we would give Pauls a try. We went into them and yep, very authentic italian. They were very warm and welcoming which was nice. You can sit in there too, theres tables and chairs. The food was outstanding and we got so much food it lasted us two days. I highly recommend Pauls!

2023-07-07 02:44:29Food is phenomenal got the potato salad and the Philly cheesesteak. The real star of the show is the man behind the grill/counter, he’ll make you feel like you’re talking to a close family mate. The place is pretty tiny but also proves size doesn’t matter. 10/10 experience.

2023-07-14 20:48:00Recently my friend and coworker Michi baught a couple of sandwiches 🥪 from this place and gave me one of the sandwiches 🥪 and let me tell you that it was one of the best pastrami sandwiches 🥪 Ive had. Ive been to many different sandwich 🥪 shops including some of the well known franchise sandwich 🥪 shops and they have nothing on this place. The place is a hole in the wall old place and the owner a cool guy. Today I stopped buy to grab a sandwich and I couldnt make up my mind cause I saw on the menu a few sandwiches that I would like to try. So I am coming by tomorrow and bringing the whole family to eat here my treat. If you are in the neighborhood I highly recommend this place. And if you live from a distance, this pla e is worth the drive. Im making this one one of my favorite places for sandwiches. Oh and the size of the sandwich you get for the price is more then well worth it. Enjoy

2023-10-25 20:53:32The Manger Matt is awesome and friendly. Ive been coming to this place for years. Me and my kids come for cannolis and we enjoy the boxing memorabilia. We also enjoy the food very much. Best place to come for Italian subs and more.

2022-06-21 23:33:14Not only is the food great but so is the service. Matt will make you feel like you have been long time friends. He definitely appreciates his customers and is very welcoming. The canoli is made to order and it tastes amazing. Anything on their menu is large portion and worth the money.

2022-08-25 14:23:25Been coming here for years,subs are delicious crispy crusted bread but soft I side and enough meat to satisfy! Decor definitely could use update but I come for the food, not the atmosphere.Most peeps call in Orders for pick up anyhow.

2022-06-13 00:22:20The kind gentleman working behind the counter was very sarcastic but in a fun and loving way. The salami sandwich I ordered was a little tangy but was very good. Be careful when eating, because it is juicy from the oil and vinegar and drips when you bite into it. : ) This place is decorated with 80s and 90s sports memorabilia. Pretty cool. 8 ) Old school vibes. I would recommend this place to family and friends. Pauls Deli is known well by the locals. They also do catering for your next shin dig. Happy eating!!

2023-06-30 21:08:49The local Law & Fire Authorities, dine here often. I like the Cuban Sandwich Ask for double meat! A family run business w/some hirelings. Friendly people. Mathew is Cool.
