Piemonte's Italian Delicatessen
Best Sandwich Counter in Fresno · CA
Tower District sandwiches for generations
Piemonte's Italian Delicatessen has been a Tower District sandwich counter for generations, an old-school deli known for cold-cut subs stacked with house Italian meats, homemade sausage, meatballs, and red sauce by the quart. Macaroni and potato salads round out a nostalgic, no-frills case.
Family-run and gloriously unchanged, Piemonte's is the kind of neighborhood deli Fresnans have sent friends to for decades — worth the wait and the elbow room.
