Gioia's Deli
A century-old deli in The Hill, established in 1918, famous for its hot salami sandwich which earned a James Beard America's Classic award.
Founded in 1918 in The Hill, Gioia's Deli evolved from a grocery store opened by Italian immigrants into a beloved sandwich shop. In 2017, it received the James Beard Foundation's America's Classics Award, becoming the first restaurant in St. Louis to earn this honor. The signature hot salami is sliced fresh to order, typically paired with cheese, peppers, and mustard on bread from the local Fazio's Bakery. The Italian roast beef sandwich is also highly popular. Sandwiches cost about $14 on delivery platforms. It is very busy during the lunch rush and closes at 16:00. Closed on Sundays. This listing is for the original flagship location on Marconi Avenue in The Hill.
