"Zoccoli’s is arguably Santa Cruz’s favorite deli — rightfully so, after 70-plus years serving custom-made sandwiches and house hoagies, like everyone’s favorite, the Mediterranean (mortadella, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese on a sourdough French roll with Italian dressing, olives and peppers). There’s a surprising number of vegetarian options, and hot and cold sandwiches all go for under $10, another reason to love it." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Garrick Ramirez
