Vavala’s Deli & Catering

One of the best Deli’s in fairfield county! Friendly staff and great food! amazing breakfast sandwiches!!!

I love this deli. Quick, friendly and delicious. What more can I say? I am ever so thankful I live close by because sometimes you just need a really good sandwich!

Best bacon egg and cheese sandwiches in town! Tough competition from mama Carmela’s and from jakes place. Uncles deli also gives up a good fight. Add some extra flavor to your bacon egg and cheers and add avocado!

Visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago with one of my close friends who lives in Norwalk. He literally insisted we go because he said it was his favorite sandwich place in town. I’m so glad we went on a Monday, because he said that on the weekends the line is practically out the door it’s your typical deli, but the taste is out of this world! My only recommendation is that they do something to clean the bathroom up a little bit, especially since it’s open to the public. Other than that, well done!

I’m a little confused about the name. I don’t think they make or serve any kind of pizza. It’s a deli that caters.
I came here today for a roast beef sandwich. I got a custom deli sandwich of at least the same size and quality as Uncle’s Deli for more than $ 3 less, with none of the nonsense at Uncle’s: no line, no over-​charging, and most of all, no nasty woman working the register like the Soup Nazi.
I found the sandwich to be made with all fresh ingredients. They got my order completely correct (Uncle’s has NEVER done that). Best of all, I didn’t spend $ 10 on lunch. I spent $ 6.75.
Attention Darien Deli-​goers, wake up! Do yourselves a favor and come here get your lunch with better service and for less money. I think those things even make the food taste better!

The sandwiches may be expensive, but they are worth every penny. Not being from CT, I only get to enjoy Vavala’s when I’m in town visiting my husband’s family. I can tell you that I dream about these sandwiches. The bread, the meat, the toppings … all cannot be beat. The Blue Wave sandwich is THE BEST!!! If you’re in Darien, it’s definitely worth a visit.

The Blue Wave is great, but seriously, you’re paying 15 bucks with a drink for a sandwich! I’ve gone here for years since it’s close to my work and I always used to walk out feeling ripped off.

Whenever I review something I review it comparably to its competitors. Unfortuantley for Vavala’s there are better deli’s/catering places in town. Actually, vavala for catering is good, over priced but good. As far a deli I was two gripes about it. 1) The price. You can buy the same food at the same quality if not better quality for cheaper. It is crazy how overpriced they are. 2) The food is good. They can make a good sandwich. However, I just am never wowed by it. The best feature about vavala’s is the service the main buy and owner I believe is name is Sal is a great guy and everyone who goes there is practically a regular and I think they go there because they like Sal, not for any other reason.

Okay to be fair — Valvallas DOES have really good sandwiches, there’s no denying that, but I give two stars for being grossly expensive. A basic turkey on a roll will set you back $ 7.50. If you grab chips and a drink, you’re paying ten-​eleven bucks for what SHOULD be a $ 7 lunch. It’s not a huge deal, but I just wish the prices were a little more down to earth.

I am from Chicago and was visiting a friend in Darien and we stopped here twice for lunch. AMAZING! The chicken salad is to die for, and any one of the chicken cutlets is a must. I wish I had a deli like this in my hometown and at school.

This place is Amazing. Best ham, egg and cheese sandwichs on the planet. There is no doubt. You must go here for sandwichs, hot subs, cold subs, awesome pre-​made pastas and snacks. These guys are a big part of the Darien community — supporting local teams and posting all local sports news on the wall. This place is great on any scale.
