Not Your Typical Deli has been serving Gilbert since 2016. Locally owned and operated by several Arizonans including the experienced and talented Chef W. Their goal is put simply, as good as their craveable menu. The Deli employs those with developmental disabilities and aims to...promote a culture that both employs and embraces these individuals for who they are. The service is neatly impeccable; friendly smiles meet polished manners combined with a laid-back cordial attitude. the food is just as astounding: the tang of savory BBQ white pork on fresh warm bread, a classical pastrami sandwich with shaved meat so thick that despite it sheer size, it only takes one bite to appreciate the complexity of flavor. Not into sandwiches? Cool. The Deli proudly serves other house-made items such as the Chicago dog and the Macaroni dog (yes, you read that correctly). Their expansive menu includes various burgers all of which are delicious, made-from-scratch house salads, and LOADED FRIES. I needn't say pick-or-choose-wisely as everything on the menu is absolutely to die for. Their pastries are hand-made daily by a team of talented bakers: recipes that come from Chef W. and Chef Vanessa's own families that were passed from generations. Their ginormous chocolate chip cookie not only satisfies a sweet tooth, but that brings delight to sweet-and-savory lovers too. Everytime I have come has been a wonderful experience, and undeniably worth it.More
