Sam's Italian Deli & Market
Best Italian Deli in Fresno · CA
Fresno's Italian sandwich cornerstone
Sam's Italian Deli & Market has served Fresno since 1980, run by Sam and Angela Marziliano and their son Nick in the tradition of southern Italy. Signature subs — the Sam's Special, the Paisano Piccante — are sliced to order on fresh-baked focaccia, and the market stocks imported prosciutto, cheeses, and pantry staples.
Repeatedly ranked among Fresno's best delis, Sam's pairs a genuine Italian grocery with a sandwich counter that has earned a valley-wide following.
