Pauli’s Deli & Bagels

Great local deli!
I found Pauli’s when I was looking for a place that had great sandwiches for lunch, and once I did I stopped looking. The food is excellent! I have had the Italian combo every time and it’s fantastic. The sandwiches are served with chips, so you don’t need to buy a bag. The people are very nice and they get your order very quickly. I’ve been a few times, and I expect I’ll become a regular.

Lots of menu options with a ton of healthy selections. Great customer service and good pricing.

Amazing bagels! They have a giant coffee bar too. To be honest, the bagels are so good, I’ve never tried anything else, but I hear everything they make is really great. I love the rainbow bagels with strawberry cream cheese.

Hadn’t been to Pauli’s in forever and decided to stop in yesterday. Grabbed an egg white sandwich and some pancakes. Both were delicious and that was easily the best egg white sandwich I’ve ever had. Probably even the best egg sandwich in general. I love that they have multiple whole wheat bagel options, too. Definitely grab a whole wheat everything bagel if they aren’t out.
The staff is always very friendly and seem like some of the nicest guys around. My order was one of the longer ones to make and there were only 2 other people there, so I actually got to talk to a couple of the guys while I waited, so that was awesome. Once I got my food, I headed toward the door, turned to say have a nice day, and right as I was about to put my hand on the door, I hear, from Pauli, I believe, «hey, buddy. come here.» I was confused, but assumed I had forgotten part of my order. Got to the counter and was handed a bag of 3 bagels. Clearly, these guys are awesome.
I honestly don’t know why I stopped coming here. Everything has always been fantastic. From the food to the staff, it is absolutely one of the best places around.

Good solid breakfast choice! I try and never eat at chains when I travel because I want to taste the local flavor. This place is a classic deli in a strip mall no frills just good solid food that comes out fast and is made with love. Tons of options and lots of locals were in every time I went by which is always the best gauge of a place. Had a bacon, egg and cheese on a Portuguese roll nothing wild but sooooo very much better than what I would have gotten at Dunkin donuts or McDonald’s. Really good green mountain coffee with lots of flavor choices, too.

Some of the best breakfast food you can find. Best Bagels around and their bacon egg & cheese is superb. Huge selection to choose from as well, there’s no way you can’t walk in here and find something you won’t like.

This place is right down the road from my job and anytime I work a morning shift I have to stop for an amazing breakfast ! They have so many different options for drinks, bagels and other foods. They even have diet options for fitness freaks like myself

Breakfast review. Diner food hidden in a bagel shop. The array of Green Mountain coffee was awe inspiring. The 3 egg western with toast and home fries was expertly prepared and well priced. Everybody in Norwalk comes here, Pauli’s is the heart of town.

Great place to grab a quick bagel to go. The staff is friendly.

This place is great! The bagels are amazing and the scallion cream cheese is a must. I came here to just relax from Queens, NY. And you know New York has some good bagels. Came here one a Sunday afternoon and a lot of the bagels were sold out so get there early!

This place was perfect. My boyfriend and I are driving from Maine to Washington DC and needed to stop for lunch before I became a terrible grouch monster. We jumped off CT-​15 and stumbled upon Pauli’s. The place is totally unassuming, and at first glance I though «maybe we keep driving a little» but belly (and bladder) protested and so we stopped. SO GLAD WE DID. The food was surprisingly good. We each had fresh grilled chicken sandwiches loaded with pesto, fancy cheese and fresh veggies. That plus chips and drinks came to $ 20. Plus the guy at the counter gave us three fresh bagels on the house for the rest of our drive! We will be stopping again if we are ever in the neighborhood again.

This is the mfin’ place. Quick, Delicious, fresh. Also if this place ever got robbed there would be like the entire police force surrounding this place in seconds because they’re always there.

Bagels are pretty good! Everyone inside is really nice. It’s a little crowded but that’s to be expected at a deli. Prices are not bad either, I thought the tuna was a little expensive but the lox was a good price.

Pauli’s is a great little deli here in CT with a HUGE selection of breakfast and lunch items. We originally came here for bagels and coffee and ended up getting the omelette platter AND a bagel… and I’m so glad we did! We ordered an everything bagel (one of the best I’ve ever had) and 2 veggie omelette platters that came with bacon and toast. Although the place was packed we got our food really fast.
Come here you won’t be disappointed!

This place sure gets packed, so get ready to wait.
In originally from New Jersey, and nothing quite beats a Jersey bagel. I visited this place based on the rave reviews, and I don’t quite see what all the hubbub is about. The bagels don’t feel substantial, they’re nice and light it don’t have much chew. The chew is the best part. I devoured my bagel pretty quickly, as if it were just a regular white bread sandwich. Sausage and egg were average.
The menu is extensive, but mostly centers around cold cuts and nothing special. The bagels were not seasoned enough, my everything bagel barely had sesame or poppy seeds on it.
Overall a completely average bagel place.

This place does some crazy business! Busy busy all the time which says a lot.
Breakfast? Sure! Every kind of bagle, variety of omlets, french toast, & any kind of egg sandwiches.
Lunch? Got that too. Every possible combination of sandwich, wrap & grinder with vegetarian options or Boar’s Head meats & cheeses & sandwiches come w chips. Hot & cold. Ample size too.
Bagles are not the best in the area but good. And many traditional & creative schemers too.
Fairly fast order system for solid to go option.
Smaller interior w a dozen seats.
Lots of retail like sweets, drinks, chips etc too.
Ample parking.

Incredible sandwiches.
Great, personable staff.
They have big hearts for organizations in the area.
The selection is great.
Every policeman and fireman in the area frequents this place do it must be good because it’s not huge yet lines go out the door.
I have no issues with this place other than wishing it were larger.

I didn’t think I was going to like this spot as much as I did. We pulled off, ravenous, only an hour into our road trip. The first deli we went to was closed for business, so this was the next spot on the main road that I was confident was open.
It was about 3pm and the place was deserted, not even a bagel in site. No bueno for a bagel store. I however spotted their ‘diet dishes’ and went for it. Grilled chicken with broccoli and avocado. It took a few more minutes than expected, and I have to say I was getting ready for more disappointment. The place wasn’t looking so clean, which wasn’t making me feel that confident… did Unilocal lead me astray? The answer: no.
The food was good. It was seriously close to a lb of grilled chicken wonderfully seasoned with broccoli and some slightly over-​ripe avocado. It ended up being more than enough for me, so very easily shareable.
As a stop off place from the highway, it’s definitely a solid. Grab a salad, sandwich, bagel or light meal and be on your way.

Stopped in this morning on the way back from New York. It was crowded, but the orders were made quickly and no one waited very long for their food.
I ordered a Pauli’s Bagel, which is cream cheese, lox, and tomato, on an everything bagel. The bagel was perfect and flavorful, the lox salty and amazing, and the cream cheese was fluffy and delicious. It was priced at $ 7.25, which for a bagel and lox in Fairfield County is pretty decent. Well worth it. I love food.
Another great aspect of this place was the coffee. They probably had 8 or 10 types of hot coffee and 3 kinds of iced coffee. A large was under $ 2 and it was lovely.
I will definitely go back here. The staff was very helpful and the food was awesome. The menus were extensive and it would be great to try some of the sandwiches.

Excellent place to satisfy your breakfast and lunch craving. They offer a wide flavor variety of fresh bagels and self serve coffee. If you desire is iced coffee, just hand them a cup and they’ll be glad to get you some ice. There are always fresh, fruit, yogurt, pastries, and ready made salads to go.
The grilled chicken can be ordered on almost anything and is cooked to order. If your in a rush, because it gets very busy, just call your order in. I love that they are always willing to please the customers.
They have limited seating and it does get tight sometimes, during peak hours. So if your don’t like being in tight quarters, go somewhere else. I enjoy the cozy busy NYC feel.
Very close to I95, RT7 and the Merritt Parkway. Worth the stop if your traveling through. They close at 4p M-​F
