Starting as a pop-up which regularly saw major lineups, Scozzafava’s Deli opened its first brick-and-mortar location on 17th Avenue, bringing its stellar sandwiches to the masses.
With nine different handhelds on the menu, from Meatball Parm to Buffalo chicken, Scozzafava’s is a fan-favourite for a good reason. Our pick? The Italian Combo with hot salami, mortadella, hot capicollo and fior di latte.
