Ggiata Delicatessen

"Ggiata is a mini-chain in Los Angeles known for its quality sandwiches, including the Spicy P with a crispy chicken cutlet in spicy vodka sauce and the chicken Caesar wrap. With multiple locations, it's easy to satisfy a craving any time." - Eater Staff

"Ggiata is hosting a watch party for Game Three on Monday, October 28 at its Melrose Hill location. The Italian sandwich shop will set up a projector for the occasion and serve specials including sausage and peppers on a seeded baguette, and a Sunday Gravy burger with provolone, mozzarella, and pesto." - Rebecca Roland

"“It's my namesake,” Giada jokes of this sandwich shop serving up crispy chicken cutlets drenched in spicy vodka sauce, meatball parmesan, and tangy grilled balsamic chicken with roasted red peppers. They all feel like entrees on bread, a great attribute in our book." - brennan carley

"We published our Sandwich Takeout Guide earlier this week, and since I am a person who enjoys sliced meat on bread, I consulted said guide, and took my first trip to Ggiata, an Italian deli that firmly belongs on the shortlist for best new-school deli in town. Their Italian is loaded with ham, spicy capicola, salami, Muenster, and Calabrian chilies, and is appropriately drippy for any sauce sticklers out there. I also wanted to get something hot, and had to try the Spicy P - a chicken parm sandwich made with vodka sauce. The crispy chicken cutlets are crunchy and moist, and there’s a tiny kick of basil pesto in every bite, along with the sweet-and-spicy sauce. Both sandwiches are served on tremendous seeded baguettes, that somehow manage to contain all the sauces quite nicely. - BK" - the infatuation los angeles crew

"Verdict: Ggiata’s Perfect Chicken Caesar Wrap is a satisfying lunch, though the idea is better in theory than in practice. We prefer the version with buffalo chicken. We’ve been fans of Ggiata’s gussied-up Italian sandwiches for years, but this new-school deli chain recently dipped into the wrap game with its Perfect Chicken Caesar Wrap that promptly went viral. The reception has been divisive—not just online, but in our own office, too. We all agree this salad-stuffed bundle is great in theory, but less so in practice. The warm, chopped chicken cutlet wilts the romaine lettuce if it sits too long, the dressing tastes closer to ranch than ceasar (though it’s still delicious), and we’re on the fence whether big crunchy croutons inside a toasted flour tortilla is carb-on-carb overkill. That said, this is still a satisfying lunch, especially after you drizzle on the extra dressing you're given. Our real hot take, however, is that their buffalo chicken wrap—made with honey buffalo sauce, crunchy celery, and tangy pickles—is superior." - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox
