Our home of the San Gabriel Valley is home to a few excellent Italian delis. Most people around here are familiar with Claro's, a small chain of Italian markets and delis.
There's more, and tonight we'll share one of our favorites with you, Old World Deli and Restaurant in Covina (there's also another outlet in Upland).
Old World has a different special each day, we come on Tuesday because it's pizza and salad bar day. The restaurant features one of the most extensive and fresh salad bars in the area. For around $12, you can eat your fill and more of this buffet of fresh vegetables, sweet ripe fruits, nuts, ham, eggs, cheese, bread, and more. On top of that, you get two thick slices of Sicilian style pizza with your choice of two toppings.
This is Letty's dinner. She creates a masterpiece of a salad, goes back for a fruit salad, and takes the pizza home.
I get the half sandwich and salad bar combo (available every day) with an excellent pastrami sandwich and my own trip or two through the salad bar.
It's an institution around here with friendly people, a great deli on the side, with great cookies for treats to take home.
