Since the 1940s

Three generations,
one little deli.

Conveniently located just off Annapolis Road, John's Italian Deli has been family owned and operated for over eighty years. What started as a neighborhood counter has become a Maryland institution — famous for the Italian Cold Cut and the warm welcome behind it.

Whether you want dinner to take home, hot subs, cold subs, pizza, soups, party trays, or catering, we still make it the old way: real bread, real cuts, recipes we never changed because we never had to.
