Best of Europe Meats & Deli

Best pastrami sandwich i have had in years. And the worst part is i cant seem to read a sign to save my life. So when i hand her a credit card and she smiles and says we dont take cards i am sorry. What she says next will blow your mind…” Dont worry about it, i will get next time you come in, have a good day.” Are you kidding me… customer for life and everyone i know, done deal!

It is to Phoenix’s credit that this place exists here. I challenge anyone to get better old world, European-​style charcuterie elsewhere. The closest any competitor could come would be «as good as». The made-​to-​order sandwiches are immensely flavorful and appetizing and share no equal in the city known to me. There’s also an interesting selection of imported grocery items such as jellies, pickled, vegetables, noodles, etc. I agree with previous reviewers that the customer service is friendly.
Be advised that operating hours are somewhat restrictive, and Best of Europe is cash only. Overall, these minor inconveniences are greatly overshadowed by the store’s authenticity, consistent quality, and genial staff. It’s well worth juggling your schedule a bit to get here while it’s open.

Best deli in town! The owner Krystyna is a sweetheart and the selection is amazing! I highly recommend this place.

I love this place, It’s amazing! Food is fantastic and the person behind the counter is awesome! So friendly. Overall great place.

A fine Mom & Pop Polish Deli in a neighborhood strip mall with nice selection of deli meats you’re not going to find at many other delis and certainly not at any grocery stores.
Sandwiches are hearty and satisfyingly good –and would make a great start for a picnic for two. Get a salad, fruit and a bottle of wine and you’re good to go.
Oh, don’t forget the date.
They have assorted cookies/​biscuits, candies, pasta, and beverages in the store too.
Important note for some, this place is CASH only.
I suppose that keeps the cost down.
I’m really enjoying the Garlic Loin I picked up. Would make yummy sandwiches but I’m snacking on it plain.
Whoever thought of Pork Tenderloin as a deli meat. MMMmm. Lean and flavorful but not overpowering.
You can pass on the Ham and no need for Turkey cuz Pork IS the «other white meat» ya know.
If you’re in the area and have a thing for Deli, give ‘em a try.
This is supporting the area economy in a good way. Good for your belly and good for business.

Cash only!
This is a legitimate Polish meat counter that will also make you a sandwich. There are four chairs and no soda machine. The folks behind the counter are friendly and the Italian sandwich was enough for two. It was literally two sandwiches. Each more delicious than the other. Come get your coldcuts on!

I went here for my late lunch today and the place is a little hard to locate (not their fault and not one of the reasons why I am not giving it five stars). Small location in a building at the shopping center where there is a Food City and McD’s (it’s located inbetween the two facing… west?).
Walk in and the place is well organized with jarred fruits and pickled stuffs along the wall. Counter directly in front and two small small tables located to try and make the place easy to walk around in and check out the displays. I was promptly greeted by a woman. She was friendly and to the point.
Her recommendation was the #12. I asked her what meats were on it and she listed a few, but she also mentioned she liked to switch things up (I am guessing depending on what they have available). Decided to go with her rec and asked for no tomato’s but with onions. The menu read that it came on Italian but it honestly looked and tasted more like sourdough (still good).
My main beef was they didn’t ask what size I wanted and I automatically got the larger size. They did have drinks (I noticed previously posted someone said there were none available so this may be new) canned soda and small bottles of water. No idea what the cost of the soda/​water is. My total meal came to $ 9 which wasn’t bad since it literally came as two sandwiches (yay! I have lunch tomorrow). To my recollection I was not offered a receipt.
I noticed that a lot of the meats they sell weren’t labeled. I don’t think they have mortadella (a personal fave). They were offering people samples of the meats and I did hear a lot of «way better than the grocery store».
My sandwich was loaded with meat and «half» was more than filling.
All in all, if I am in the area I will be back to eat here and remember to specifically say «HALF!»

I have been a regular at this deli because the service is exceptional, the place is clean, and the ladies that run the counter are professional & friendly. I’m a big fan of the smoked bacon and head cheese. It is definitely european if you know what that is. Someone who calls these nice ladies snotty must really have issues. That’s just my opinion. Maybe you came on an off day. What’s wrong with paying cash? Just come prepared. I do.

Snotty counter help. The one menu is taped to the meat case. Dirty and pen scratches and edits. Very hard to read, red tags with back ink and so warn. Taking cash only was the last kick to get us out the door.
We were so excited to hear about this place we went in with our mouths ready to have a wonderful sandwich and deli items to take home.
Young counter person was not as nasty as the older lady, but for not having very many customers, you would think that having someone walk in the door would be a good thing.
Not that day. I cant say how gruff and nasty they were. All I can say is good luck with the business. Lets say 2 sandwiches an assortment of cut meats and some cheese… an easy $ 50.00 sale that they could of had if a little niceness was extended.

Amazing cold cuts that are made in-​house and ridiculously amazing assortment of smoke sausages. Hands down the best European deli in town.
They also make very good sandwiches.

Amazing yummy sandwiches… In my opinion best in town! Tiny little deli with huge delicious smells and tastes! Awesome customer service! Bring cash! They don’t accept debit or credit! I just finished a sandwich and am already craving another one!!!

Amazing sandwich but if you like smaller portions just get a half. Great meat and service

As good as it gets. No seriously. From the overwhelming delicious smell when you walk in the door, to the friendly service this little gem has it all. They have a small menu and we followed the suggestion of getting the #12. Perfect. It’s large enough to share but you won’t want to.
Make sure to bring CASH but not too much. Prices are fair and you will end up spending it all on their amazing meats.
Definitely worth stopping in.

Really good place to eat, try it if you ever get a chance. What do you have to loss. I want to go there route now just thinking about it.

Great sandwiches. Almost all the meats & sausages are made there in house. If you are still buying your coldcuts/​sandwich meats from the grocery store STOP and come here instead. The prices are cheaper and the quality is amazing.
My favorites are the turkey, ham, hot capi, paprika Hungarian salami and spicy kabanos.
Also their hotdogs are the best I’ve ever had. When cooked they have a great snap to them, which I assume comes from the natural casing they use. I have not purchased hotdogs or lunch meat from the grocery store since I found this place years ago.
It’s always nice to see the same friendly, helpful smiling faces in there every time I go in. The line can get long sometimes but that is only because the owners take as much time as needed with each customer to make sure they have exactly what they need.

Wow cute little place. First time today. It’s a mom and daughter who own this place. The meat is made there fresh. It smells amazing the minute you walk in and the sandwiches taste amazing. Really glad I got to try. Definitely recommend.

Family run, local business and Hands down, Best sandwich by far in a long time, I hadn’t had a sandwich with that quality in the cuts since I lived in the SF Bay Area. People you’ve got to try the spicy one it’s either 2 or 3 I think.
The service was polite, attentive and had good suggestions
Tip the girl people don’t be rude

Admittedly, after only a couple of visits this is almost a «Single Menu Item Review.» Although, I do believe that single item is indicative of the quality of the smoked meats, etc offered in this unique to Phoenix Deli.
That single item?
The Number 12 Sandwich (Without onions for me!)
Far and away the best Deli Sandwich or Submarine Sandwich I have had since moving from New Jersey 20+ years ago. With three meats, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and a mixture of mustard and mayonnaise on Polish Rye Bread is absolutely to die for.
As warned by a Previous Reviewer a «Half Sandwich» is a full sandwich and a «Full Sandwich» is actually two sandwiches. I still have no satisfactory answer as to why. (lol)
Only two small tables for «eat in» and no beverages are offered. I go at odd hours so have been able to «Eat In» each time while bringing my own beverage.
The Owner’s Daughter is most accommodating and the array of Shoppers you see and hear as you partake of this fabulous sandwich is testimony to the quality of their offerings. (Saw one lady spent over $ 50 on assorted smokes meats!)
A terrific find!

best sandwiches in town? no, they are just okay. I wasn’t blown away. All the reviews pumped this place up too much. A super small and very limited selection of sandwiches to choose from and only 2 of those were hot sandwiches… Sad this place had some much potential.
I am sure their business isn’t driven by the sandwiches though.

Great family owned and operated European (Polish) Deli serving several Sausages, Lunch Meats, home made Pierogies and Imported items from overseas to meet you desires. You can smell the hickory wood burning while standing in the parking lot when they are smoking meats.
I have been coming here since they opened 20 years ago. Always see the same smiling family members working the counter. Lots of fresh items to choose from either in the case or hanging on the wall behind the counter.
I love and always get the Old Style (garlic) Smoked Polish Sausage with some of the Imported Polish Cheese on the side and some European rye bread made here in town. Everything is fantastic including the awesome sandwiches they make for a reasonable price.
Place can get pretty busy and it is fun to hear people speaking Polish when ordering their goodies and then watching them dance with excitement as they get back in their cars. CASH Only. NE Corner in Food City parking lot. Definitely one of my favorite sausage places in town.
