About This Place

Nestled in the heart of San Antonio, Zito's Deli is a celebrated sandwich shop and fast food destination that brings an authentic, hearty deli experience to Broadway. This beloved establishment is well-known for its generous portions, classic New York-style sandwiches, and a menu that perfectly balances comfort and craftsmanship.

For sandwich lovers, Zito’s is nothing short of a treasure trove. The star item is undoubtedly the legendary “Serious Sandwich”, a colossal masterpiece that has left local regulars raving. Whether you opt for a half, a quarter, or the whole “Serious,” each bite offers a symphony of flavors with perfectly toasted bread enveloping layers of savory meats like Holland ham, pastrami, and roast beef. Fans of Italian flavors will delight in The Italian Sandwich on Wheat, an expertly crafted sandwich bursting with rich, tangy, and smoky notes.

But the menu extends far beyond these signature picks. The Meatball Sub delivers juicy, tender meatballs in a savory tomato sauce, while the Reuben Sandwich balances sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and corned beef to create a taste experience that’s both nostalgic and elevated. With options like the Turkey Breast, Roast Beef Italia, and the zesty Reuben on Wheat with Spicy Mustard, there’s a flavor for every craving. Complement your sandwich with sides such as homemade charro beans, chips, or a crisp side salad that adds the perfect fresh crunch.

The dessert offerings at Zito’s help round out the meal in sweet style. Indulgent choices like Red Velvet Cupcakes, Baklava, and rich cheesecakes provide a delightful finish that keeps guests coming back for more.

What truly sets Zito’s Deli apart is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Customers like Kurt Kozlowski praise the friendly staff and attentive service that make every visit feel personal and inviting. Jeff Butler’s praise of the perfectly toasted bread and amazing homemade beans highlights the care put into each component. Longtime patrons, including Bryan Alvarez who visits weekly, commend consistent quality and the lighthearted, fun vibe created by the staff.

Zito’s Deli is more than just a sandwich shop; it’s a community favorite where authentic flavors and genuine hospitality combine to create memorable dining moments. Whether you’re a San Antonio local or a visitor craving a true deli experience, Zito’s offers a satisfying escape with every savory bite.

    Got a wheat bread Italian beef full and bag of chips 12 bucks. Not bad better than subway. Bread perfectly toasted fillings were a bit bland but maybe I just picked a bland sandwich. The homemade charro beans side was amazing.

    Wow! Fantastic sandwich! I was told by a few locals here in SA that Zito’s is the place to go and they were not wrong! The “Serious” sandwich was amazing and delicious! I highly recommend going for a “halfa” since it’s so massive. Customer service was on point and I was warmly welcomed which is a huge plus. If you are looking for a good sandwich, Zito’s Deli is the place to be!

    I've been coming here once a week with my girlfriend for the longest time. 10/10 everytime, we've always been excited to have the exact same sandwich . Desserts are 10/10 as well would recommend. Staff is funny, you'll get a good laugh.

    I mostly do takeout orders and the guy that answers the phone is kind and remembers me even though they are always busy as heck and I only order every few months since I don’t live in town. Get the Serious sandwich and be serious about it- no subs or removing items. Eat it as is!!! So good, some may say it’s the best ever. Fave spot in SA!!!!

    First time here, loved the food! So very good. Service was great. They were very busy but the noise was not excessive. Our table conversation was easily heard. You gotta come try out these sandwiches, simply amazing!

    So my husband and I were sitting at Gino’s deli and we sat across from a cool looking guy with Porsche keys… we got to talking and we established that we were all a little disappointed with the sandwiches and how it was overhyped on TikTok.. Porsche key guy says… “you gotta try Zitos on Broadway”… so we stopped eating and came to Zitos…. Porsche key guy did not steer us wrong… best sandwich we’ve had in the San Antonio area.
