  Wow, the meatball sandwich is quite the meal! I had a medium and it had 3 huge meatballs. Juicy and very tasty! The staff are very friendly! Will definitely come back when I'm in town!

  Stop. Just stop what you're doing. This is what you're getting for dinner, so stop looking.
  
  Mike... You, sir, have changed my life with this sandwich.
  
  I've been a big fan of Chicago Deli Express for months: fresh made sandwiches, chicken parm and pasta and they always go the extra mile making sure your order is right. They've been in my weekly rotation for a while and I always look forward to dinner from Chicago Deli Express.
  
  Tonight, I decided to deviate from my usual Medium Lakeshore Place, BLT sandwich, which is classic and amazing from here.
  
  Note: no matter what you get, get the bread toasted with garlic butter. It's epic!
  
  I decided to try the Medium Chicago White Sox, a sliced roast pork sandwich with mozzarella, bacon fried peppers and onions, chipotle mayo (I requested easy on the mayo, which was perfect), maple/bacon seasoning, with sliced apple chutney on the side (delivery and they packed it on the side so the sandwich wouldn't get soggy, score!).
  
  Read that again: Sliced roast pork on toasted garlic bread with mozzarella, bacon fried peppers and onions, chipotle mayo, maple/bacon seasoning, with sliced apple chutney.
  
  This is a sandwich that has changed the sandwich game. Never did I expect such a beautifully composed sandwich to arrive on my doorstep. The food at Chicago is fabulous but this was a cut above. The apple chutney plays off the salty bacon and savory peppers. The pork was moist and plentiful, the sandwich runneth over! That chutney is not to be missed, it is a Must. The apple balances the whole sandwich with beautiful, carefully measured sweetness. I can't love on this sandwich enough, eating it was an experience I can't wait to repeat. I don't know that I've been this excited about a sandwich in years.
  
  Do yourself a favor and add Chicago Deli Express to your rotation. You won't be disappointed!

  Tried Chicago Deli Express for the first time last night.  I asked my wife to pick me up a large 12" "360 Chicago" Meatball sub on her way home.  Oooh my god.  The sub was a weapon .. the meatballs were huge. This thing has some serious weight to it.  It was amazingly tasty, and clearly fresh, top quality ingredients. I'm a big enough guy, and I just couldn't finish it all. I will definitely be trying more and more sandwiches and pasta from this place. Truly a gem in the heart of Durham Region.  My wife and daughter each had a scoop for their London ice cream, and they were both going on and on about how amazing it was. Can't wait to try more of their menu.

  Came here for lunch today, it was so incredible. The owner is so knowledgable and nice! He really made us feel welcome and gave incredible suggestions. Everything in their food is made of real ingredients that you'd be able to pronounce! We ended up picking up a full tray of lasagna for dinner! Hand made and full of delicious fresh ingredients.

  Got a lecture when I asked for provolone cheese about how expensive all the meats and cheeses were. Price was very high and not worth it for the quality. It also took about fifteen minutes from starting my order to actually getting my sub and I was the only person there. I was hoping for something special but didn't find it here. Thought maybe I'd come back and try a meatball sub because it might be more flavourful until I found out the sauce is straight out of a jar from the store. Pretty disappointing.
