What People Are Saying About Izzy's Deli

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?…

Worst Chicken Noodle Soup EVER!
by mgh
I've had several things at this deli in the past, but today was the worst! I have a cold and stopped in for a container of $7.50 chicken noodle soup. they packed it up, I get home and find that there is not one piece of chicken in the soup! more than half broth and 1/3 noodles. I never write on these sites, but I'm so pissed off I just had too! Won't get taken like that again!!!

Don't buy the water bagels from the Deli!!
by keikozone
On 9/23/09 I just bought 2 water bagels from the Deli in addition to other items. The counter guy got them from the plastic bagel box on top of the Deli Counter. I got home, very hungry, and the water bagels were VERY, VERY DRY and very hard - my first tip-off that they would be bad!
I was pretty upset knowing that my dinner was ruined. I guess I know now why people go directly to Bagel stores in the area. They must have had these water bagels for at least a week; must be slow business now since economy is down and the bagels from the Deli are not moving much.
So beware, my best advice is to go directly to a Bagel store that makes them fresh! Which is exactly what I did today and got myself some fresh, soft bagels - they were wonderful!
- Pros: DRY, HARD WATER BAGELS

Good sandwich, good Slaw, big portions
by hcstraub
The half a turkey sandwich is fresh carved turkey breast, the slaw is excellent and the rye very good. I would compare with any deli outside of NY. The portions are huge, and the service was outstanding. We had at least 3 people filling our drinks and checking on us.
This is a great local joint if you want good deli.
- Pros: Great turkey, slaw and Rye
- Cons: inside is a little dated
