Comfort Food Classics at San Diego's Favorite Jewish Deli

D.Z. Akin's is your home for an authentic Jewish deli experience right here in San Diego, where we've been stacking sandwiches high since 1980. If you're looking for a deli near you that feels like a trip to New York, you've found it.

From our famous matzo ball soup that truly is "soup for the soul" to our hand-sliced pastrami sandwiches, we believe in big portions and even bigger flavors. Whether you're craving a thick Reuben with onion rings or a classic lox and cream cheese bagel, we make sure you never leave hungry.

We know hunger doesn't follow a schedule, which is why you can find the best all-day breakfast in San Diego right here. You can dive into a plate of fluffy pancakes or our signature fried chicken and waffles whenever the craving hits. Beyond our dining room, we bring the deli to your front door with kosher-style catering for your nextevent or family gathering.

Stop by our Alvarado Road location to see why locals have made us a neighborhood staple for over four decades. We can't wait to grab you a booth!

    62. Reuben Sandwich

    Hands down the best Reuben Sandwich in town! I chose a side of their super delicious potato salad with this sandwich which enhanced the overall experience. Every bite was full of savory goodness and I can feel the love that was spent making this PHENOMENAL sandwich. Will definitely come back for more Goodies soon!
