Michael's Deli

Michael's Deli & Catering

A New York-style deli in Midtown, the local favorite for pastrami and Reuben sandwiches, with generous portions and fair prices.

An old-school deli on South Virginia Street in Midtown that serves only breakfast and lunch. Locals consider it Reno's top spot for pastrami and Reuben sandwiches. The signature Mile High Pastrami is piled very high, and the hot pastrami sandwich and the Reuben, with corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on grilled rye with Russian dressing, are both popular. Portions are large and the service is friendly, but there are often lines at lunch and parking nearby is tough. A second location is on S. Meadows Pkwy in the south part of town.
