Old-school Italian deli with huge, delicious sandwiches & imported goods
"In operation since 1961, Mario’s is an old-school Italian deli in Glendale and it’s your best bet for giant, meat-stuffed sandwiches and hot plates in the neighborhood. If you don’t get there before 11:30am, be prepared to wait. But even if you get caught in line, this place is worth it. The Bad Boy Sub is their signature sandwich and it’s huge, with your choice of meat (get the pastrami), mustard, mayo, avocado, spicy peppers, and every other fixing available. Be sure to pick up some imported Italian olive oil on the way out." - brant cox, garrett snyder
"One of LA’s best sandwiches begins with a crusty 10-inch toasted roll. The staff at Corner Market and deli then layer it with spicy capicola, spicy salami, a healthy slice of provolone cheese, lettuce, pepperoncini, red wine vinegar, and a wonderful cherry pepper aioli. If this isn’t the sandwich for you, visit TikTok or Instagram to see influencers showcase others like the 15-hour smoked brisket pastrami or the chopped cheese on an English muffin. While at this Glendale establishment, enjoy the selections from an impressive Armenian market with coffee, spices, and beans that are ideal for preparation at home. Best to order the spicy Italiano, pick up a bottle of wine, fresh produce (especially the dates), soda, and sit down to consume the sandwich on the spot. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Mona Holmes

"In operation since 1961, Mario’s is an Italian deli and grocery and your best bet for some old-school Italian sandwiches and hot plates in the neighborhood. Get there before 11:30am or be prepared to wait. But even if you get stuck behind the rush, it’s worth it. The Bad Boy Sub is their signature sandwich and it’s a monster: your choice of meat (get the pastrami), mustard, mayo, avocado, spicy peppers, and every other fixing available. Cue the midday nap in your car." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"There are two different chicken parms at Mario’s Italian Deli & Market, as well as wonderful prosciutto sandwiches, pickled artichokes sold by the jar, and deep-fried cannoli. You can either order them as an entrée, which arrives in a pool of red sauce, or as a sandwich. We prefer the sandwich, just because there is so much sauce, and the bread it’s served with is sturdy and fluffy, the way we wish our mattress was. Everything works together in perfect harmony: the bread sops up the sauce, the crispy chicken plays off its softness, and mozzarella cheese holds it all together. Order this, plus a few deli sides if you’re heading to the park (or the movies or a friend’s house or just back to bed)." - kat hong, brett keating
