I reviewed Mario's Italian Deli & Market, over six years ago. While I did say I would not return, I changed my mind, because I wanted to try their Italian cold cut combo sandwich. It's weird, as recently as two years ago I had never had an Italian cold cut combo sandwich anywhere!! Then I got one at Capri Deli & Kitchen, and it's my usual sandwich at any Italian deli.
Mario's is both an Italian market and deli. The deli counter is huge, it goes about the length of the store. If you're ordering a sandwich make sure you take a number. They have a good selection of soda including many imported sodas. There are about 6-8 tables if you want to eat there. A Glendale fixture since 1961, which was also the first year of the Los Angeles Angels. Real baseball fans know that the LA Angels played their first season at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. Unlike the drunk, idiot, loser Chicago Cubs fans, they also know that the first night game at Wrigley Field was in 1961, not 1988 when the Chicago Cubs continued their losing ways. Hey loser Cubs fans leave Bartman alone!! It wasn't his fault, it was your loser players who lost the game and series!! I love knowing the Cubs best chance of winning the World Series ended when the Houston Astros moved to the American League. If the, then Florida, now Miami Marlins had moved to the American League, the Back to the Future 2 prediction may have come true. Isn't it pathetic that the sorry loser Chicago Cubs fan base have to rely on a stupid movie for their World Series title hopes? There is no such thing as a curse!! It's about loser players, owners, managers, and especially fans!
The best play ever by any Chicago Cubs player; Rick Monday, who at the time was playing for the Chicago Cubs. He save the American Flag from being burned by two pinko gutless losers.:
Italian cold cut combo; $8.65, mortadella, salami, cappocollo, and ham. Mario's still cuts the bread into three pieces. The Italian roll is a bit too hard and chewy for my taste. The triple cut is weird and unnecessary. But, the meats are good quality meats. The salami was had a very nice flavor. The cappocollo was also very good.
Service was better than last time. It still takes a bit long to make the sandwich, but overall the people were friendly and helpful.
The bread is just too tough and chewy for me to come back for a sandwich at Mario's. But, the quality of the meat is very good. I would come back and get a few pounds of each and make a sandwiches with better bread!
