7 Best Delis in Oregon!
Oregon delis range from old-school New York-style establishments to those that pack the perfect country picnic. Whatever your preference, the Beaver state has it. Following are 7 places Oregon deli enthusiasts shouldn't miss!
The Deli at Ashland Food Co-op, Ashland, OR
Whether you're seeking a quick breakfast or lunch option or a place to treat your family or a group of friends to a delicious, leisurely meal, Ashland Food Co-op's Deli is the place to go. It even has a grab-and-go section for those on the run. Everything is fresh, organic, and as locally sourced as possible. All meats and dairy are hormone-and-antibiotic-free.
Edelweiss Sausage and Delicatessen, Portland, OR
You'll find Old World quality and that indefinable something that only happens at family businesses where techniques have been perfected for generations. The Edelweiss name has been synonymous with finely cured meats for decades. You'll also find rare, exquisite treats from Germany and other European countries here.
Falling Sky Brewing Pour House and Delicatessen, Eugene, OR
One of the new kids on the block as far as Oregon delis, Falling Sky gives you the best of both worlds by doing double duty as a brew pub. Want to save time? Order your meal or deli items online. Falling Sky also offers bike delivery and catering.
Elephants Deli, Portland, OR
Started in the small kitchen of a failed deli in 1979, this Portland favorite is now so popular it's got four locations. One of the first delis to introduce Portland to fresh pasta, Elephants remains at the forefront of quality food trends. Don't live in Portland or too busy to visit the deli? No problem. Shop at their online store and have it delivered.
Country Catering, Bend, OR
You'll never get lost trying to find Country Catering in Bend—just follow the aroma of the outdoor barbecue pits. Don't let its name fool you—although catering is the cornerstone of this business, it also has a thriving in-house deli featuring both indoor and outdoor seating.
Sammich Ashland, Ashland, OR
Get your gourmet sandwich on at Sammich in Ashland. You'll find traditional Italian-style deli sandwiches, Pacific Northwest salmon sandwiches, and house-made pastrami in true Chicago style. Portions are ample here, so bring your best appetite or take half a sandwich home to savor later.
Cozzie's NY Deli, Salem, OR
Cozzie's offers another authentic taste of New York in Oregon. Like Eugene's Falling Sky, Salem's Cozzie's is a newcomer to the Oregon food scene, but their menu items date back to iconic 1920s delis in New York’s East Side. Roast beef, corned beef, and pastrami are all made in-house.
