A top sandwich shop in the city. Perfect for lunch downtown.

Very delicious lunch option in downtown Detroit. Good size for what you pay, and not busy when I was there. I had the Italiano sandwich, toasted. Good amounts of meat, fresh cheese and veggies. The house dressing on the sandwich was good.My order and my friend's orders were fine, but while we were there, the staff gave someone a sandwich instead of a salad on accident. The staff fixed it immediately and let them keep the sandwich. The staff here are good people, they care and want you to have a great experience.

Awesome spot for breakfast and/or lunch! I’m a simple guy and always go Italiano but everything there is superb, Keep up the great work!

Great deli sandwich shop. Been going there for a few years now and it's always been fresh, delicious, and had good service. Has a small dine in area. Love the original turkey sandwich.

My sandwich was hard had a funny taste maybe I could have tried something different but the chip and pop was good tho

I had the number 2 sandwich. The gentleman working behind the counter recommend it. It was delicious.

We were happy to have ducked into this hidden gem for a pickup lunch.. around the corner from Aloft Hotel. Excellent, friendly staff/owner.

Love this place. Always order the morgadella and its always perfect. Please don't change a thing. Great prices too. Btw

La Pecora use to be my go to place. Before Covid this place had great sandwiches. They were quick and efficient. After Covid, I often receive a burnt sandwich or is just sloppily put together. I figured everyone's going through growing pains again due to the shortage in the labor force.Its now October of 2021 and if anything has happened its that the service has declined significantly. I entered 10/14 looking to purchase The Detroiter. I was notified the grill was broken and they apologized. Hey things happen, no issues. I was specifically told it will be fixed tomorrow. I return on 10/15. I entered around 11:20, I wasn't greeted until 11:30. I made my request for The Detroiter again and now was notified breakfast finished at 11. No signs are posted, the menu is all electronic, so its easy to post in the signage, or even better simply remove it after 11am. The gentlemen behind the counter has a poor attitude where you can simply tell he hates life all together. The establishment is riddled with horse flies that are landing on their meat prep area. This list can go on and on. If I could leave zero stars I would simply due to the level of decline this establishment has. For now, I would stay far away until they close down and retrain their staff and also perform a deep clean. Makes people wonder when the City of Detroit did their last health inspection.

Nobody welcomed us when we walked in. It was 86 degrees inside. My order was supposed to be ready at 1235. I didn’t walk out with my food until 1. A gentleman came in behind me, ordered his food on the spot, and was provided his meal before me.I saw this happen with a few other orders too. Grub hub and a door dash orders were priority for them over my order even though I had already been waiting in there for 10 minutes for my order that should have been done, and the people that came in for those orders walked in after me.I came with a friend and told the lady up front we’re here for two orders that were placed. I gave her our names and she just kept working on other orders instead of ours.How does that make any sense? The staff was not prepared to handle customers efficiently and there was also no communication being provided to me about the status of my order or an apology from the lady up front for messing up on service. Instead, she and the guy in the kitchen tried to make excuses instead.My toasted sub also ended up having wax paper that stuck to it. Why am I peeling wax paper off my sub? I’d recommend using foil for toasted subs. They’ll stay warmer, crisper, and there’s no issues with the wax paper melting onto a toasted sub.There’s absolutely zero reason I would ever come back due to the level of service provided.
