Delis & sandwiches in Madison

Delis and sandwich shops help you get a ready-to-eat lunch, a cold cut or cheese by the pound, or a full spread for a gathering. Many also offer catering, platters, charcuterie boards, house-made sauces, and fresh pasta or lasagna sheets to cook at home, along with gourmet groceries and wine. Menus and offerings vary, so check before you go. When choosing one, call ahead to ask whether they take large catering orders and how much notice they need, especially on weekends. For sandwiches, ask about the bread and whether meats are sliced to order, and ask if the prepared items are made that day. Lunch rushes are usually at midday, so order early or come in before noon if you want a shorter wait.
