Zella's Deli

Highly recommend the potato salad. The best I've ever had at a restaurant!

YES!! First time trying this place we did lunch delivery. Great menu! We had Reubens, Fried Bologna, a turkey sandwich along with Pasta and Potato salad. Wonderful flavors, good portion size and definitely quality ingredients. I'm already planning on what I'm gonna order next time. Thank you for a delicious meal!

Exactly what you want from a deli! The smell of fresh baked bread the second you walk in is AMAZING! My family got a bunch of sandwiches and all split everything - I highly recommend doing that. The corned beef, so yummy! Pastrami, drooling just thinking about it. The breakfast sandwich, perfect oozy cheese and crispy bacon. Oh, and at no point will you question if you’re getting your money’s worth, those sandwiches are STUFFED! Very cute aesthetic inside, and bigger than it looks at first. Adding this to my ‘must go to’ list for whenever I’m in Asheville.

If you are looking for a delicious deli sandwich, this is your spot! Best Italian sandwich I have had in a long time. I can also recommend the pastrami Philly. Zella's is life!

10/10 for the pastrami. I didn't even think I liked pastrami but after that sando I'm converted. Just enough mustard, flavorful and soft rye bread. Perfection. Apologies to any new yorkers rolling over, but it worked for me.

The tiny little shop is full of nostalgic snacks like Voodoo chips, Fruit Stripe (pretty sure that's what it was), Yoo-Hoo. It creates a fun vibe. 5/5 for snacks.

I got the black & white cookie, which comes from Ivy & the Poet (it's on my try list!), It was good. 4/5 just because it didn't wow me.

I got a fresh and a day-old bagel, to compare. The day old plain I chucked in the toaster with a bit of water to revive it - it tasted like bland. It would me a lot happier in sandwich form, which isn't how I bagel. I'm happy with plain cream cheese. The everything fresh bagel was much more flavorful, the chew was fine, but I prefer my bagels to have a tighter skin and bubbles, so overall 4/5 for the bagels.

Would I go back for the bagel and cookie, no, probably not. Would I push someone out of the way to get the last bit of pastrami? Without hesitation.

The folks behind the counter were goofy and fun and they sling good food. I'll def be back to try the Ruben.
