Capri Deli — Restaurant in Covina

I have been going to Capri Deli for many years now and I have been a huge fan since I began going. I have recommended them to everyone I know and brought many people there to show them how good they are! That being said, something happened recently that has disappointed me and frankly ticked me off! I bought a large sausage sandwich on garlic bread on January 15th . When I got home, I noticed that it had no tomato sauce on it. I called them back and asked to speak to a manager and the manager that night was Alexis. I explained what had happened and she told me that if you get it on garlic bread, they don't put tomato sauce on it, they give it to you on the side. ( I didn't know this and they don't tell you that) It doesn't matter either way, I didn't get the sauce on the side. She apologized and told me that to make it right, she would give me a free replacement sandwich. I agreed to this and thought that it was a fair solution. I went in on Monday the 1st of February to get my free sandwich. I talked to the manager that night and explained the situation and was told that there was no notice of this exchange on their bulletin board like Alexis said that there would be and without that, they could not honor her promise. I asked when Alexis would be working next and they said Friday. I just called and talked to her. She told me that the owners would not let her do that and the best she could do is not charge the extra for the garlic bread if I ordered a new sandwich. So instead of the free sandwich that I was promised, I would save a dollar or so if I bought a whole new sandwich. I believe that if you promise something to a customer, then you should make good on that promise. I get very annoyed when someone makes me a promise and doesn't keep it. I feel that if the owners are not going to honor the promises that their employees make then that is just not right! I am very disappointed that a business that I have been going to for years and have recommended so highly would do something like...

The best place for pizza fixin's!

I was making a calzone and needed some good marinara sauce and pizza dough. I was feeling lazy and didn't want to make my own, and then I remembered Capri!

WHAT IT IS An Italian deli. When you enter, you're standing in their storefront. To your left is a case full of delightful cookies. :) Further down this case you have your deli meats and cheeses, and a sandwich ordering station. To your right is the rest of the store where you can buy anything you need to make pizza. There is refrigerated dough and marinara sauce, cheeses, ect. Lots of pasta. If you pass through the storefront you'll find a seating area for people who decide to eat in.

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER Sandwiches, or pizza stuff.

AMBIANCE 3 stars Not nice, but not bad either. It's dated, but not in a terrible way. This is a quick lunch spot.

FOOD AND DRINKS 4 Stars Capri's sandwiches are pretty good. They're FAR better than the likes of Subway (which is the sandwich Gulag), and the bread is great, but they die for better meat. If this place upgrades to Boar's Head you'll see a real sandwich contender.

Their pizza fixins and cookies, however, are phenomenal. If you need stuff to make pizza and are weirded out by making your own dough or sauce, this is the place to go.

NICE SURPRISES Their chocolate thumbprint cookies remind me of my Italian Nana. :) Also it was really cool to find sauce here. I had initially just come for the dough.
