Reviews of Giamela's
Combo large sub - half pepper beef, half pastrami / 5 🌟!
Giamela's is the place to go if you want a huge, tasty sub that is 85% meat. They have been around for a long time and I've been enjoying them every few months since I landed in Los Feliz over 2 years ago.
I recommend eating it fresh. I ate in the restaurant and there is so much juicy meat that the sub bun was already getting soggy.
I ate this masterpiece of a sub after a 12 mile hike and it was perfection.
I'm a fan! The pepper steak sub is the way to go here. If you never had it make sure you try it! All the others subs are good too but the pepper steak has so much flavor and it's loaded with melted cheese and diced pickles and onions. My friend and I also tried the pastrami pizza which we both agreed was bangin'. If you come here make sure you're hungry and ready to eat. Make sure to call in your order or go with plenty of time since it gets busy during the lunch rush.
Giamela's is a childhood favorite of mine. My mom used to bring my sister and I here all the time. I pretty much love everything on their menu. Their pizza is so good.
Tonight I got a 6 inch meatball sandwich with extra c peheese.
It was very delicious. The meatballs are seasoned perfectly . the tomatoe sauce and cheese go together and make the sandwich complete.
If you haven't tried Giamela's . You definitely should .
Delicious subs!
Hot & cold options...
Chips/Sodas
Fresh flavors with an old school approach.
This to go restaurant is the ultimate sandwich shop!
Cash Only!!
Awesome sandwich old school place. 1 of 2 locations. Stop here whenever i can.
The pepper steak sandwich really is a stand out. Perfect combo of steak and pickled veggies and spiciness.
This place is great for sandwiches and also for pasta I've never tried to pizza but I wonder is good as well I've been to this one and to the one in Burbank. The customer service is great the food is great the difference between the one Los Felix is that they take cash of credit and the one in Burbank is just cash but they're both places are great and the one in the Felix have more priority than the one in Burbank other than that great place to have lunch or dinner or pick up if you want to eat somewhere at home or anywhere the only thing I have to say when you're outside and you park in The Lodges be careful cuz there's a lot of like homeless people that try to see what they could get but other than that is is great great place to have lunch
This is one of the best sandwich places in LA you have to try the pepper steak.. I've been going here for 30 years and I like to try something different every time I've never had a bad thing.. of course prices change I even think some owners have changed but their quality has never changed
The absolute best sandwiches & subs in town. The meat just melts in your mouth. So delicious and filling. You've got to try the pepper steak and add provolone cheese. Yum delish!!!
Love this place. Been coming here since I was in elementary school ( right down the street). Food is delicious. Now I bring my daughters here. They love it as well. People here are so friendly and provide great service.
My husband loves their pepper steak sandwiches. I ordered a spaghetti and meat balls this time, but wish I would have stuck to the sandwich. It was ok, but not as good and the sandwich.
I heard about this place from a guy on social media. It’s right in my neighborhood so today I decide to give it a try. And it was really good. I was not expecting that. I got the pepper steak and boy was it delicious I will be back.
Unreal Italian sandwiches, gotta try them to comprehend
Absolute best sandwich in the whole of Los Angeles. In and out real quick this place doesn't mess around. Been coming here for nearly 30 years and it was already a great spot back then. Long live giamelas. Stop in if you want a good ol sub!
Great customer service and veryfresh sandwiches. They are full of flavor, the best sandwiches in the Los Feliz area...do stop by, you will not be disappointed.
There pepper steak sandwhich is Hugh. But had more flavor before now no flavor st all. What ever you changed please change back. Prices great serving size huge.
I can honestly say that giamela's makes the best sandwiches. A great sandwich starts with great bread. And I have not tasted better. I am Italian and tell you that the spaghetti and lasagna are better than most Italian restaurants that cost double giamela's prices. Been going there over 10 years and never had a bad food experience.
Had the spaghetti and meatballs. The garlic bread was OK. First time being there, good selection of different items on the menu from hot/cold sandwiches, pasta. Will visit again
I love Giamela's and stop by when I'm in the area, which isn't very often. The Pepper Steak Sandwiches are the best Hot options. I also enjoy their Sausage and peppers and meatball subs. The cold subs are high quality as well. The sandwiches come in medium and large and the difference is usually 1 dollar and some change. If you get the large, you'd be able to save half for another meal.
The Pizza is good, not the greatest, but good enough that I've come by to get it again. The Pizza is decently priced and isn't too saucy. They sell it by the slice or whole.
All food is subjective; my wife usually doesn't like the places I tell her are good. ... She LOVED the pepper steak and cheese (Ask for extra cheese)... Sooo many onions. As for the pizza, she said it was good, but if (STRONG WHEN) she were to visit again, it's all about the pepper steak sandwiches.
Giamela's on Los Feliz never disappoints.
My go to is the pepper steak, always delicious!
Take a long bike ride on the Glendale Narrows Riverwalk if you're feeling guilty about the calories.
Good subz and pizza. Not a fan of the way they cook their pepper steak. They add water while cooking, so you don't get any char on the meat. It's more like boiled meat.
Update: They did some remodeling. Most of it is exterior.
I am not a fan of their pizza only because the dough isn't very good but I like their spaghetti and ravioli which are accompanied by garlic bread (like the pizza, the bread isn't great either) and soup or salad which are both very good.
I've been coming here for more than twenty years! I can't believe that for the longest time, they did not take credit card...really! That drove me nuts! But, at least for the last 10 years, they've been taking card, making it much easier to order from them.
I always the pastrami on a soft hoagie with mustard, onions and pickles. I love how they cut dice the pickles and onions. I always dig how they add carrots to the side. The pizza is really good too.
I really like the 50's feel and look to it too.
No frills, down to earth Italian deli restaurant. The star of the show is definitely the pepper steak sandwich, but even the veggie sandwich is surprisingly good for a place that leans 96% meat based.
You really can't go wrong with anything here. Unless...unless you decide to go big or go home and order a half pepper steak, half pastrami pizza. It's too big, go home. Can food be camp? This pizza would like to make a case for it.
it was my first time dining at giamela's today and i ordered a large italian cold cuts sandwich. in my opinion, it wasn't worth the price ($11.95). the salami and mortadella was only 3 slices thick throughout the sandwich. my meal was mostly bread, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. this will be my first and last cold cuts sandwich from here.
my friends each ordered a pepper steak sandwich and got about five-times more meat on their subs. at only 30 cents more than a cold cuts sub, go with the pepper steak. that's what i'm ordering the next time i'm here. such is life
The food was so good! I ordered for pick up and my order was correct and on time
Staff is friendly. Food portion is great for college students. Ordered the lasagna and a pepper steak sandwich. The lasagna is a tad bit salty for my tasting but that might just be me. Soup that comes with lasagna is very hearty. The pepper steak sandwich was great.
I used to work at a small old school restaurant just like this one,brought back memories,delicious!!
Place can get crowded quick. Service is good even when busy the crew works efficiently to get the orders out...bomb sandwiches!
I ordered the special half pepper steak half pastrami sandwich. It was delicious the pepper steak is absolutely wonderful.
Small location, but I Love the food here! If you are looking for something different, I recommend #Giamelas for a good sandwich.
I ordered something unknowing which image is what and thought that the pepper steak was the one pictures on their website since they aren't labeled as to what we are looking at. Thus in my mind I thought they had gotten a little bit cheap since I expected chunks of steak that was chopped to fit the sub and not thinly sliced beef. I can't even tell it it's got pepper on it like the picture showed.
But due to the lack of knowledge of this place and not ever eating there my expectations that were given to me by word of mouth and the website now mixed with my personal experience of it. I suggest that you aren't ordinary from the restaurant and not over the phone using their website as a reference since none of the pictures are labeled with what they actually are.
But next time I do order anything from them it's definitely not going to be the peppered steak. It's I suppose the cheese steak sub for something.
But I wish eateries would label the images or post a post on them as to what we are looking at. Because as tasty as the sub still was, I would love to know the actual sub's name instead of thinking the pepper steak looks like the cheese steak.
been coming here for 20 years and this place never disappoints. if it's your first time, order the meatball sandwich. If not the pepper steak or cheese steak is the way to go.
Giamela's is probably the best place for subs in Los Angeles. I have been coming here since I was a kid and while there are a few less locations, the subs haven't changed.
The pepper steak is their signature sub along with their meatball and pastrami. Giamela's offers other varieties (hot and cold) and also has pizza and pasta in addition to their sandwiches. Their subs are piled high with meat and their hand chopped relish of pickles, onions and tomatoes.
The interior has seating, but isn't particularly inviting. The vibe is definitely basic. Service on the other hand is always friendly and cheery. Prices have been updated to the 2020s (they aren't selling $6 subs anymore) 😂😂 ...so yeah, prices are moderate now...but worth it.
Great pepper steak sandwich. And the pastrami are good .
First time at Giamela's. Really good sandwiches. Will be coming back to try something new.
Excellent service. Flavorful veggie lasagna and the garlic bread with toasted sesame seeds was magnifico!
Best sandwiches in Glendale ca.
Always a great pepper steak sandwich.
The best sandwich spot in LA. Pizza is great as well.
Great service, very kind and friendly and even better food 👍🏼
The lasagna was....le lasagne erano fantastiche...the sauce was just perfect w/ground beef topped with Parmigiano 😋 !Yummy!!
LA icon. I promise if you are having a bad day, this food will cheer you up. There is a reason this place is always packed at lunchtime with the great people of LA, firefighters, cops, electricians or utility workers on a break. Just great subs and pizza. Love the sub toppings. And you can conveniently stop here on your way to the Dodger game, or the LA Zoo!
One of my favorite local sandwiches! For less than $15 & a 3 minute walk, I can get one of the best turkey sandwiches I’ve ever had. I know that may sound kind of boring, but the basil pesto mayo is my FAVORITE! I’m giving myself a break from meat right now and the main thing I’m craving is that sandwich. Can’t wait to go back to get it soon!
delicious pizza, friendly staff. very busy and not a lot of seating.
My therapist has her office here and the attendant in the garage was very helpful in helping me get to her office.
Good sandwiches and a
good variety of dishes but honestly a tad bit on the expensive side for sandwiches. I've gone twice. I guess everything seems to be going up with all this Covid issues. Still it is nice to have a hearty Italian Sub in hand.
My first time Wow good ..my sub was fresh . I got the meatballs. I do recommend it. Nice staff. Do many subs . Looking for Word for more.
I kept seeing super epic-looking pictures of food from this place on Yelp and Reddit, so I finally did a pickup order one day and honestly, I didn't get all the hype ... the sandwiches were just OK. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but the sandwich I had was nothing like what the photos led me to believe I'd be eating. Service was also mildly sassy for no good reason. For the price, I don't think it lives up to its online reputation.
If I could give this experience of exploding flavors and savory pepper steak 10 stars I would. They cook the steak with red bell peppers in this amazing flavor of juices and top it with pickles, tomatoes, and onion's. I don't like raw onions so I don't get them. I've tried all three locations, Burbank, Sunland and Los Feliz and the Los Feliz Giamela's has the bomb pepper steak sandwich. The other locations are very good too so if your close to one of them do stop by and visit. Giamela's has a veriety of sandwiches and pizza and Italian dishes. I also tried the pastrami sandwich and it was very delicious too. My family fell in love with the pepper steak as did I and I will definitely go back to order many more. Thank you for the hard work and the amazing experience of your delicious food 😁
Terrible service here came in ordered my food didn’t get it til 45 mins later people came after me ordered and received there food right away before mine idk 🤷🏾♂️ understand there business here the Hispanic lady at the register had a terrible attitude got real angry and told me she doesn’t care about my order which she never put in til the last minute I recommend nobody come here to eat there customer service is not professional
This place has great food.The Sandwiches are delicious so is the soup and salads also the lasagna.I really enjoyed it.Ill be back there for sure.
Pepper Steak is amazing! You can’t go wrong with eating here! Great customer service as well!
I have been going to Giamelas since I was in high school in thenlate 80's. Always good, always fresh. Sandwiches seem to be the same normally. This last visit seemed like higher prices and less meat. But the flavor was still good.
Small little Italian deli They make great pepper steak sandwiches. Check out for yourself i.think you can the Menu online
Best Italian Sandwich in LA! Order the Mr.G's and it will change your sandwich life. Seriously, these things are huge, loaded to the brim with tons of chopped toppings. They have amazing pickles, the food is alwaysade right, you can customize all you want. Make sure you also try the soup!
Great pizza and sandwiches, can't go
Wrong. Many choices.
I had a very satisfying medium pizza with pepperoni, sausage and onions.
The tomato sauce was great, not overly spiced. Note that the sausage was the sliced stick variety and not the crumbly dabs of sausage. But still flavorful.
Haven't been to this gem in over 25 years. Still fantastic!
I haven't been to Giamela's since the covid 19 outbreak so I was thrilled to indulge my long strong craving for the Mr. G's !! The best sub EVER! Plus I got 2 meatballs w/o sauce for my pup! Their meatballs are made w/o onions so they are doggie safe! I will have the meatball sub next time! I have always loved getting Giamelas subs and pizzas to catch
the direct bus to the Hollywood Bowl. Or.. Yummy goodies to take to the L.A. Zoo or enjoy anywhere in Griffith Park. 5 stars outta 5!
Had the Pepper Steak sandwich and it was giant! Could have used a bit more seasoning other than pepper as the presence of a ton of beef didn't translate to a ton of flavor. Also ordered the giant slice of cheese pizza and could easily tell it had been sitting for quite a while. I would still try them again to try other sandwiches because the menu had some tasty options
Pastrami and a Steak sandwich it was delicious
Tonight I had a pepperoni and cheese pizza -bomb.
Pepper steak bomb
The OG sandwich and pizza spot for me since 1995. I'm always down for the beef sandwich... or pastrami
Average sub sandwiches. The bread/roll is almost gummy and the oregano in the vinaigrette sandwich dressing is annoying and not wanted (by me; maybe it's your thing...). The chopped-up-into-dice tomatoes tend to fall out of the sandwich. They also have some pizzas and pastas but I haven't tried them yet. Free parking lot.
I have been going to Giamelas for over 15 years. My favorite turkey or meatball sandwich in Los Angeles. This Los Feliz location also serves pizza and pasta dishes while the Burbank location is sandwiches 🥪 only. …
Best pepper steak sandwich. If you haven't had one, you're missing out good things in life.
Been going here for 14 years. They need some fresh offerings. Nothing ever changes. Consistent quality. I usually order the Italian Sub or Meatball Sub, or get their spaghetti and meatballs. They don't offer classic Italian deli sandwich sides for the sandwiches, just bagged chips. They're kind of pricey, but not outrageous. The best deal is a side of meatballs for $2.20. They don't know how to make decent garlic bread, and it's often stale bread they can't use for sandwiches. Overall very consistent however.
Ordered pizza, 2 slices of pepperoni and jalapeno, nothing spectacular they just place jalapenos on top (reminds me of 2 for 1 Pizza) I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, not bad. Salad was good too.
Food is very fresh and tasty. The pizza dough is not rubbery. All the toppings are fresh and the sandwiches are delicious. This place does get busy at lunch and dinner but it's well worth the wait. 👍😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
This place is delicious. We made an out of the way stop for this highly recommended place and it was well worth it. The sandwiches are huge. We got 1 regular meatball and 2 pepper cheesesteaks and they were enough to feed 4. The only suggestion I have is to make sure you get your sandwich with extra cheese, as I feel as though there isn't enough on these enormous sandwiches.
Ordered the bucket of spaghetti, comes with bread, salad. NICE. Had there sandwiches too. GOOOOOD. Pizza mmmmm
Italian cold cut with a bag of chips and one single slice serving of pizza. Cannot go wrong at this OG LA staple. Sandwiches are $10. Just make sure not to put the cold sandwich on top of the hot box of pizza. Enjoy!!!
Great quick service, delicious food
A delicious thick pizza with plenty of cheese, huge super tasty peppers and steak sub with cheese and awesome lasagna with meat sauce and a big salad topped with olives tomatoes and cheese hit the spot. Recommended for a tasty Italian lunch or dinner.
People in my area race about the pizza. The crust was fluffy and chewey. The cheese quality was good. The pepperoni was not bad a bit salty but it's pepperoni or I'm getting older and my tolerance for salt is at a low. The pizza sauce was aweful to my taste buds. I bought a medium pizza. I ate two slices and gave the rest to my coworkers. No complaints there. The staff was pleasant. There is alot of traffic in and out which is a good sight. This place is a popular spot in the neighborhood.
Always go to Los Feliz Giamela's, I love the skirt steak sandwich. Meat is thin sliced and sooo good. Original is great or you can add cheese, marinara and comes piled with onion, tomato, pickle all diced together. Getcha one
Being a longtime Los Feliz resident I can’t count the number of times I have driven by Giamela’s and thinking I should try it. I finally did and I must say I will definitely be going back. Their Pepper Steak Pizza is one of the best pies I have ever had. Piled high with generous portions of meat on each slice, the large size easily satisfied three of us. Very fair price too. A quick glance at the menu board with a variety of hot and cold sandwiches also gives me the reason to go back. So glad I finally gave Giamela’s a try—I will definitely be back.
Delicious Pastrami sandwich, fast service
There steak & cheese footlong is the best hot sub sandwich I've ever had!! Been eating at this place since I was like 5yrs old!! YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE!! BEST ITALIAN FOOD AROUND!!
Food is great! Awesome service! Clean place! What more can you ask for?
A cozy Italian restaurant in Los Feliz/Glendale area near shopping and Griffith Park. Family owned with multiple locations. It is clean, service is quick and the food is fresh and tasty.
I was in the mood for a deli sandwich on my visit, but as I waited for my food, was able to see orders of spaghetti, pizza and salads delivered to surrounding tables. The portions for those items ate quite generous, the meatballs large.
The roast beef and pastrami sandwiches were definitely Italian-style! The open faced sandwich was topped with pickles, tomato, lettuce and seasoned with Italian dressing, a side of peppers and carrot sticks. You may order sub sandwiches with cheese and onions, additionally, you can substitute mayonnaise and mustard with Red Bell Pepper Mayo or Pesto Mayo. The result is an interesting flavor sensation.
Good place for a quick bite to eat and conversation.
Great food and prices.
Great mom and pop feeling sub shop. I always stop by when I'm in the area. It's located conveniently right off of the freeway. The sandwiches are Chuck full of delicious grilled beef and peppers. Then the melted cheese in the middle hits your taste buds. It's usually at this point that I remove the sandwich long enough to bite into a yellow chili. Then wash it all down with an ice cold Coke. Do yourself a favor and check this place out ASAP.
Best authentic Italian eats in Los Angeles, hands down. Hell, best sandwich shop in Los Angeles hands down. Been going here for over 12 years now and don't plan on stopping that tradition ever. They offer major bang for your buck portion and taste wise. Huge sandwiches and the best antipasto salad in L.A. Verrrry highly recommended!
Only recently discovered this place and I love it. Im slowly trying everything on the menu and everything has been delicious. They're always polite and I've never had to wait long for my food. Highly recommend the meatball sandwhich and the pepper steak sandwich.
Everything here is great...I love sandwiches!!! The ravioli and pasta is really good. Staff here are always nice and go out of their way to ensure that you are happy. There are tables for you to eat in but can get stuffy when it's hot outside.
Been going here since i was a kid of 13 and now I'm 53. It's a place with consistency of good sandwiches, pizza and salads. I recommend this place for your next fast meal, you will not regret this decision.
This places is so good and you can probably feed a small family for under $30.00. It has a great vibe, spanish speaking workers and really close Griffith Park so you can have a nice picnic.
Great local spot for submarine sandwiches. They also have pizzas that are good and good at soaking up any alcohol. Side dishes are good as well but sandwiches and pizza are the hits. Seating available inside, but only a handful of tables. Also parking is scarce but business moves fast so usually in and out as far as that goes. Prices are a little on the high side but for Italian style food in the area is about average. Fountain drinks and variety of chips also available.
Peppers steak pizza is awesome, just tell them easy onions or you'll be scooping many off. All the pizza is pretty good.. Sandwiches are average my favorite is the meatball with no veggies. They pile chopped pickles on it! Have them 3 stars because they always take longer than they say. I've phone ordered a few pizzas before and arriving fifteen minutes later, they still hadn't put them in the oven.
Each handmade pasta and ravioli variety is worth trying. The owners are very sweet and you can tell that they put care into their product. I recommend the portobello ravioli, squid ink pasta and vodka sauce. You can freeze fresh pasta if you don't plan on cooking it right away.
Best Pastrami. I'm sure the rest of their menu is top notch, but I've never had call to try it. Only an unknowing hungry tourist could walk through those doors and walk back out without a fully loaded pastrami in hand. It's an age old establishment that separates the Angelenos from the transplants.
Popular old school place, Very good sandwich, next time I will try the Pizza
took about 30 minutes for our medium pepper steak pizza to cook and still come out slightly soggy in the middle. tasted fantastic tho
The pastrami sandwiches are so good. Order it with everything except cheese- don't like my pastrami with that. Place is a lil shabby and the counter lady takes call ins and manages the register. So the wait can be a bit long but the sandwich is so worth the wait!
There's a reason this place has been around so long. Huge sandwiches overflowing with toppings and meat. Wicked cheese steaks and pepper steaks as well as Pizza and Pasta options. They are known for their sandwiches though. Be warned a large sandwiches around 14 in and enough for two people for maybe two days. Skip Subway go here
No other words than the BEST, FRESH and HUGE sandwich EVER! This has been my experience consistently! My only complaints are the long lines and the fact that they close early, when they run out of bread.
Always the best. My Cousin Leslie worked there in the 70's when it first opened
Best lasagna ever and the subs are good too
Giamela’s is a long standing Atwater Village sandwich shop. Be like a local and ask for the veggies on the side, giving you control of your meal. Try the pizza, great taste along with great value.
Best food from an old school REAL Italian style sandwich, pizza, and pasta shop. There's a reason they've been here for years. You will never be happy with the junk franchise chains again after eating here.
Love this place. Come here at least a few times a month for their steak and cheese sandwich. So good! They also have a little parking lot.
Been coming here since I was a kid! The food is just as good now as it was 30 years ago. Get the Pepper Steak sandwich. You won’t regret it.
Large portions, tasty, healthy, and delicious sandwiches. Great customer service.
Everything is good, can't go wrong.
I definitely recommend the pepper steak sandwich with red bell pepper Mayo, if you love raw onions,diced pickles, and diced tomatoes on top.
Giamela's makes excellent sub sandwiches. They are big, and really filled up with lots of meat and veggies, etc. I highly recommend them.
This place is an Atwater Village must... the pastrami sandwiches are the best... pesto mayo turkey is also delicious...however... i do not recommend the meat lasagna it tasted like dog food without exaggerating... and it was expensive... can't believe they serve that because their sandwiches are good
Giamela's has been around since 1964! Whaaat!
Service was fast and the portions were large. Prices were reasonable and chances are, you're going to have leftovers. That about sums it up. The food is okay. Lots of choices.
Mmm...spaghetti and meatballs. Sounds better than what it actually was -- Two large meatballs in meat sauce over a generous plate of perfectly cooked pasta. Yep, the pasta was the best part. The sauce could've used some flavor.
Everyone swears by their subs though. The large turkey and roast beef looked great and actually deserves to be called a sandwich. It was a considerable size and was packed with fresh meat and vegetables (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions) along with mustard and mayonnaise. Very tasty.
Plenty of Italian options. Along with pasta and subs, there's also pizza. The place is on the smaller side and was crowded during lunch so come just before or after the mealtime crowd to find decent seating.
Awesome. Their sandwiches🤘. What i really loved was the fact that an elderly lady walked in to place an order but the young girl couldn't hear her, so the young girl came out from behind the counter and helped her and went through the menu with her, now that's customer service. …
Food was ok. I'm picky though- I'm from an Irish/Italian family from Philly, so pizza has got to be bomb to impress me out here. Salad was ok too. Comfy atmosphere, friendly staff.
I have been going to Giamela's since they opened up and I was a little girl. Now my children go there. The best roast beef sandwich. I love it.
My 1st time here ,had the pastrami san , lot of extra fluff . I'll have to give it another try ,but I still enjoy Claro's Italian deli's there consistent ,so it's a good thing . Several locations , can't go wrong
Excellent service, very quick. The meatball sub was good. They put chopped pickles and onions on top of it which was different to me.
Pepper steak 😋 sandwich changed my life so delicious tasty and your gonna wanna take one extra for dinner . …
Small spot but worth it. Subs are delicious n pizza too
Awesome place since...? If you went to John Marshall High School and DIDN’T eat here once! SHAME On you! You have to set aside calories and or a diet to try this place. It is Sub Sandwiches, Pizza, and Pasta/salad fare. None better.
Killer sandwich. I think the bread was the only unhealthy part of the sand wich but i didnt leave a crumb. I had half of a pastrami and half of a pepper steak. I'm favoring the pastrami it was lean and tender. Lg will feed 2 people if you have an average appetites. I'll be back for the pizza!
First time there. Had the pepper steak sandwich......yummy 😋 …
Good service nice food. Pastrami is great pepper steak needs seasoning.
Nice little place for hot or cold sandwiches.
I had pastrami and was one of best I had in years.
The entire interior needs a upgrade. The food is awesome, the service is ok, smiles are scarce. A loyal customer base keeps this place afloat. Food will keep you coming back for more.
Yum! Absolutely love this place, from the toasted turkey sub to the pepper steak sub to the ravioli, lasagna and pizza, the food here is absolutely delicious!!!🥰😋 …
Haven't been here in a long time. Still very busy. Still great food.
An old-timey family pizza joint, they also make huge sandwiches and other fare. It's all good and filling and the prices are fantastic. Go now!
Always great. Definitely get the large for only a buck more and save it for later, although, I just ate a large in one sitting. Glad this place is still here after all these years.
Now this place is off the hook! Best subs ever, food coma for sure once you have their amazing food. Pepper steak sub.......super delicious.
We have a couple of Giamela's to choose from. The Los Feliz Restaurant has good pasta and minestrone soup. It's very good and reasonably priced.
Best pizza in town!!!
Good market style sandwiches. The pickle, cucumber, onion and tomato dressing is so good. My personal favorite is the cold cut .
Service was very good. The waitress that help me was very nice. But the I was disappointed with what I ordered not as fresh as usual but still was good.
This place is so good! You can't really go wrong with the pepper steak. Recommend ordering by phone.
Awesome $10-$12 large pies. A favorite with my weekly movie night crowd! (They no longer have the salad special but it's still a bargain).
This place wasn't as I expected. The review indicated a good place for a hot sub but I got tricked. It was also over price. I wouldn't come back. I had the philly cheesesteak and it was a disappointment. I won't be back.
I have been coming to Giamela's for over 30 years! I love the DDD feel and what VALUE you receive in the subs. My go to is the Pepper Steak with everything! (Add the cheese ) only way to order. This is by far the NUMBER ONE sub in LA.
The pepper-steak sandwich is masterfully done. The steak, the peppers, the seasoning . . . making my mouth water! The bread is equally good, and up to the task of holding together the juicy goodness.
Great food, supper nice staff
Great sandwich place... I usually order the pepper steak . They also have pizza and pasta dishes and a bunch of different kinds of sandwiches 😁😁😁😛👍 …
If you like steak subs n pastrami. This is the place to come n try. Also their pizza is amazing!😋 May I add all their food is amazing!😋 you have to try!! …
Some of the most delicious sandwiches in town. Their pepper steak sandwiches are a must try.
It was delicious and the people there are very friendly. Very easy to find and to park. I highly recommend the pepper steak hot sandwich.
Great quality sandwiches with fantastic meats and at a reasonable price! I would recommend the pastrami and the steak sandwich!
Amazing sandwiches. Perfect for grab and go for a local trail which is what we did. Easy call ahead for a quick pick up.
Their sandwiches and pizza's are exceptionally delicious 😋 . . . it's a must place to take family and friends to experience
Awesome sub sandwiches 🥪 👌 …
If you want a real sub, any kind, a great value for the price, a full footlong sandwich. Also great pizza and spaghetti dishes..
I highly recommend.
Neighborhood place with sandwiches you want for an everyday lunch. Very tasty and no skimping on the meat. Italian and meatball subs are great.
Cozy and quaint little restaurant with only 8 tables available inside. A great cheese steak is made there but I prefer cheese whiz over sliced on my cheese steak.
I never had a problem with there food. Ive been coming for years. The only thing that sucks is the parking. Parking space is too small and is always packed.
Great big, delicious, voluptuous, mouth watering Italian subs. Giamela's is always fresh and tastey. A local favorite in Atwater Village, on Los Feliz at Glenfeliz Blvd. Highly recommended! :-)
This place has the best pizza and service in the valley by far! Everyone is super nice when you pickup your food and the pizza is incredibly delicious!!
Havent been in for a long time. I came back a few days ago and it was still good. Great pastrami and good value
No Competition they Have The Best Sandwiches in LA and a quick trip to Griffith Park a perfect picnic
No Restroom but food was good🍽 …

Finest food, super friendly employees, regularly great mood. They charge fair rates and the food quality is great. Keep up the good work.
The place is small but good food subs. Their meatball subs are good, with a bite of jalapenos it so good. And they have parking.
They used to give you a lot of toppings. Now not so much. But still delicious
I've Been Eating there since the 1980's! Thier Pepper Steak Sandwich is World Famous!
Food is great with down the earth people. Price is great for the quality of food you get. The meat ball sandwich was really good.
OMG. Best thin crust pepperoni and cheese. Juicy, gooey, delicious cheese and pepperoni. Perfect for kids and/or adults.
My Sister was looking for a deli, she thought Giamela's was a good option
Genuinely old school "east coast" style sub shop. My boston area girl friend approves. Dont expect any of that fancy west cost sandwich tomfoolery here. Also they have orange bang.
Great hot sandwiches I can't say anything about the pizza never had it.
Excellent family owned small business in Los Feliz great big sandwiches and the 🍕 is Old school style I highly recommend you try this place prices are good to..
My go-to when it comes to meatballs, pepper-steak, sausage, and a salad. Great bang for the buck. I've been going over q5 years now.
Small pizza place where you can have a great pizza! Love their pizza, friendly staff, and cleanliness. I had a pizza with 5 toppings and it was delicious!
Delicious pepper steak!
Love the pastrami sandwich and the lasagna !! Great prices
Delicious everything. omg the Pepper Steak and Egg is 2 meals and fantastic flavors. EAT THERE NOW.
Love the Sandwiches.
Best pepper steak sandwich in the LA county area.
Their open face cold hoagies are the most scrumptious in town... but lately I've fallen for their spaghetti with meatballs. Italian at its very finest!
Nice locations to eat food hot & colds sandwiches to pastas and pizza 🍕plus prices good for what they selling.
You can order by phone ☎ or walk 🚶 in sometimes busy. …
Pastrami sandwich is probably the best I’ve ever had
Loving the Steak & Cheese for over 33yrs! Just had Lasagna and was "Outta Sight!"

The best subs in Los Angeles! A must try
Delicious NY/NJ style pizza! Good quality, fast, hot and fresh!!
Great sandwiches! Try them all. I always get large. It's the size of two Subway sandwiches.
Great pizza and the pepper steak is a personal favorite. The drive across downtown is well worth the trip!
Great subs! Good pizza too. Small hole in the wall, but oh so good.
Great subs with fresh ingredients and generous portions.
Italian cold cuts. Bread toasted and scooped. Bread has to be toasted or its no good. Sandwich has to be eaten immediately or it’s no good. 👨🏼🍳👌🏽 …
Definitely a MUST spot, when in town🤘 There secret special sauce gets all over ur face... It's so yummy …
This one if not the best pepper steak there is out their. Very hefty portions with great taste a rare jewel .

Love this place! I come from Palmdale just for there sandwiches. Plus I grew up in the area and went to grammar school down the street
