Gian's Delicatessen — Restaurant in Stockton

Gian’s Deli is a solid local spot in Stockton. We came in for sandwiches—decent overall, but nothing mind-blowing. The house-made focaccia is a nice touch, but it didn’t stand out the way I expected. I grew up in Brooklyn around Italian American delis, so maybe my bar is just a bit higher. Sandwiches were on the smaller side for the price, and the flavor was good but not particularly memorable.

I tired it my way with added onions from the pasta salad and the normal way they made it and the normal way they made it was indeed better without the onions. The red peppers and wax peppers were their signature toppings. They do take cash only so prepare for that if u decide to visit.
