“I want to marry this sandwich”Friend and his wife took me here a few years ago. Place still does not disappoint. South Bronx club was amazing. Mediterranean sandwich was so good my friend told his wife he would happily divorce her if he could marry the sandwich.

Been going here since high school and this place is still going strong and just as good as the first time! Amazing service and people! Since I’ve moved away from Richmond, I always try to stop on in when I am in town visiting friends and family. I took a friend from Roanoke to eat here and he said it was incredible! Love this place! Miss this place! See y’all soon, and keep up the great work. Thank you for serving Richmond for as long as y’all have! 🥰

Small place but delicious food. Some of the best sandwiches we have had from a deli yet!

Great local Italian deli. They known for their sandwiches. They offer their Italian deli meats and cheeses for sale by weight. I have had several sandwiches and have been satisfied by all. Additionally I have purchased deli meat and fresh cheese for home consumption. While not a full sit down restaurant, sandwiches are made fresh upon ordering thus can take time to make at prime meal times especially if cooking of components are needed. If you are short for time, order ahead.

Just ate my first to-go order after having had lunch here quite a few times and it was great! Food was hot, with the cheese on my hot turkey sub still melty and good, potato salad was nice and cold. The person behind the register is always above and beyond kind and today was no different, even though they looked pretty busy when I arrived.This is my favorite and first choice for lunch when I’m on Cary and I’ll definitely be back, many even later this week. :)

Been going here for at least 25 years. Authentic deli with high quality meats and excellent combination of ingredients. My fav is the grilled Industrial! Yummy!!! Tom Roukous does a fabulous job keeping the tradition alive in Carytown.

This place deserves all the hype. Its a bustling little deli, with fast and friendly service. I ordered the fresh mozzarella sandwich, and it was everything I wanted for lunch. Would definitely recommend stopping by if youre in the area!

Omg this place is like being back in a New York deli the only negative is that the Reubens was served on white bread instead of rye

First and foremost the staff was very sweet. Second, the sandwiches were great. Third, the atmosphere wrapped it all together. We got a reuben and an Italian hero, with a bag of chips each. We both loved our sandwiches.Note to self though, bring a water bottle! We ended up buying 4 cans of soda to wash everything down, and talk about a pretty penny for a drink!I understand that its local, though. (: So we were happy to pay. Looking forward to coming back and trying a cannoli.

I was thrilled by this place. I was very hungry and I’m not familiar with Carytown, but I walked past this place and I knew it was the one. I ended up getting some sort of Mediterranean sandwich, and it hit the spot. It had turkey, pesto, lettuce and some other stuff, but I thought it was really good. They have a huge selection of chips, and I ended up choosing a bag that I didn’t like, but that’s on me not the restaurant. The sandwich was made to order and I got it take out, but the service was still solid. If I’m ever in the area again and craving a tasty sandwich, I know where I’ll be headed!

Great little deli with lots of sandwich options! Good craft drink selection. Very clean inside. Very nice counter personnel. Bread was fresh, but not toasted/crispy outside as I would expect in an Italian deli. Not a chain. Better/authentic than the other deli on the block.

This place exemplifies what I love about living in Richmond. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was everything I could hope for out of a small deli. I got the meatball sub this time, and like everything I have tried here, it was delicious. I feel like the portion sizes can run a little small for the price but it always more than makes up for it in quality. I honestly have no complaints.

Im kinda surprised at how this place has a 4.5 rating. I was pretty disappointed with what I received from this deli.Taste: I ordered the Real Italian Hero. A sandwich of prosciutto, mozzarella, basil leaves, and roasted red peppers. The taste was good. Theres a dash of olive oil on the bread that really adds to the flavor. Unfortunately the few sprinkles of basil and peppers were basically lost in the sandwich and therefore non existent. This is the only reason place got 2 stars from me.Price: My goodness. $12 for a sandwich. Im more than willing to pay a high price for some real good food, but at this price the sandwich missed the mark in size and substance. The sandwich was thinner than a can of soda, shorter than 2 cans stacked on top of each other. Its incomprehensible how this size would go for $12. I understand prosciutto and mozzarella is not cheap, but its also not this expensive either.Service: I arrived at 1:20 PM. There were roughly 5-6 people already eating and 1 person at the cashier paying for his food. I was next and made my order. Almost 10 minutes later I received my sandwich. Not sure what took so long, my order only had a few slices of cheese and meat.Overall: This place seems to have the right ingredients to make a really good meal, but their gauge on size, price, and substance needs to be calibrated. Quite honestly, they need to pick up the speed on service as well. Ive been to a handful of Italian delis in my life and maybe my issue was bringing that expectation to this location. Youre better off going to Jimmy Johns or Pot Belly.

Great experience at Coppola’s Deli in Carytown yesterday. It was Labor Day and we decided to look for an open restaurant in Carytown. There was one other patron in Coppola’s so there was no wait. I ordered the South Bronx Club with extra Sauerkraut and my fiancé got the industrial. Both sandwiches came out piping hot and delicious! The employees were very friendly and hospitable. The atmosphere was very laid back. We had a nice view of Carytown as well. Also the portion sizes were huge so that was another plus. If you’re in Carytown and are in the mood for a sandwich you have to check out Coppola’s!

If you live in Richmond and haven’t been to Coppola’s yet, put it on your to-do list. Best cheesecake I have ever had in my life (creamy, rich, and fluffy). Top notch service and high quality ingredients. The famous Industrial, their classic Italian hero, lives up to the hype and then some. Tom and his family are running an amazing operation and I now understand why it is considered a Richmond institution. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

This is my favorite sub/sandwich shop in RVA! Everything Ive ordered here has been delicious and I love that everything is super fresh. My go-to sandwich is their chicken, bacon and ranch; I think its called the Rancher (its not on the board menu). But I also love their honey turkey sandwich and their cheese colombo. You cant go wrong with any sandwich you order here. Theyve been in business for so long and I hope they never go anywhere because they are such a loved local staple in Carytown.

This place is the real deal Italian. Im from New England, and this is where you come to find your local authentic italian deli in Richmond. If you havent gone yet you are really missing out on that small batch, fresh, family taste in a sandwich at a very fair reasonable price for the quality offered. Definitely top go to sub place in the city and especially Carytown! Great family and workers to support for a business!

This place is absolutely incredible in every way. The manager is such a nice guy, always making sure me and my girlfriend have a great experience, and always remembers our order. Speaking of that, we always get the Cheese Columbo because it’s always delicious. We are always disappointed when it’s gone, and are tempted to spend more. Great small business, great employees, great food. Can’t recommend this place enough for sandwich and pasta lovers!!

Really really good. I got “The Industrial” and would highly recommend it. Didn’t take long at all. The atmosphere is also really cool and the smell of the food inside the restaurant was super appetizing. If it’s nice out and you’d prefer to eat outside there are tables outside.

I can’t speak for the rest of their food; my husband loved his sandwich; but I had the absolute reuban I’ve EVER had in RVA. The bread was mushy and obviously not toasted at all; couldn’t find the thousand island dressing... just bummed. It’s hard to screw up a Reuben. Barely any cheese.It was well filled with meat.

Its a great little Italian sandwich shop. The cashier had us laughing and feeling comfortable. I ordered a rueben and my son ordered a grilled cheese. We both loved the food.

Excellent Subs. We had the industrial and the meatball sub and both were very good. We got A Slice of Cheesecake to go.

Cappolas can be summed up by one word. Impressive.The Food: To quote my fiance who grew up in Italy, the food reminded her of Italy, except it was better.The service: Greeted at the door by the owner makes this a very personable experience.The atmosphere/location: Right by the Byrd in the heart of Cary Town, you cant ask for better. The atmosphere is an exact replica of an Italian deli.Price: Very fair price for a premium product. Which make this place a bargain.

If you are looking for an old school deli sandwich shop feel, Coppolas is the place for you. Amazing sandwiches, great sides like pasta salad, and loads of old city vibe. The place is bigger inside than you would expect, but still not great for large groups. Parking can be tough in this busy area, but the parking deck around the corner can help with that. Just be aware that if the deck is full and you go all the way in, you will either have to back out or struggle to turn around.

This place has some of the best deli sandwiches in the city - but is run by incompetents. I just waited 20 minutes for two sandwiches and there was only one other customer for the entire time. There were No less than 3 EMPLOYEES at the time! According to my ticket, I ordered at 17:43; I walked out at 18:05. The only time I got an explanation was when I told the guy bringing me my sandwich that it took a very long time. He said that they accidentally put cheese on the sandwich when I didnt want any. Still, 20 minutes!!?!? With no explanation! Also, only two out of three employees were wearing gloves while preparing my food. That wouldnt be bad if he wasnt the one preparing my food. Dont worry though, Im sure he washes his hands before returning to work after using the facilities in accordance with state law.
