In Short
Bringing a little bite of the Big Apple to Santa Monica is Brooklyn native Izzy Freeman. While this is no new news to locals, the roomy hole-in-the-wall deli has been offering up everything from pizza to marinated herring to pile-it-yourself baked potatoes long before "Saturday Night Fever" was retro. Looking for some kosher vittles? Menu mainstays like the matzah ball soup [Insert Yiddish exclaimation here], and, of course, meaty New York-style deli sandwiches are here for the taking. Want to know about the many framed celebrity photos and faded NYC posters lining the walls? Ask the overworked yet friendly staff and they'll gladly tell you the history. As the restaurant motto goes, "If you're hungry, but don't know what you're hungry for, come to Izzy's."

This deli is dull. The matzo ball soup is totally unnoteworthy, the deli corned beef is from a slab or package and it's just plain BORing. The brisket is almost flavorless and the dipping sauce for it, au jus, is like water. This isn't a New York deli. It's a west coast wannabe a New York deli deli. Thanks

I love the fact that everything is served in such big portions for such a reasonable price. It's a great restaurant to visit during passover, thier Matzoth-balls are amazing! This Deli truly lives up to its reputation, because their sandwiches are extremly overstuffed!! I will definetely go back because this is one of those rare restaurants where your dollar goes a long way.
