Great sandwich spot tucked away from the giant crowds with easy accommodations for dietary restrictions and friendly staff. Sandwiches are loaded up and the gluten free bread held together really well! We ordered a small pretzel and shocked at its size - plenty to share, and the vanilla dipping sauce paired well.

My GOD, the Italian sub and garlic cheese pretzel was PHENOMENAL, still does not describe it. The sandwich had Italian dressing, PHENOMENAL. The owners were sooo helpful, answered all questions, made recommendations which were PERFECT! A MUST try if u are passing through!!

Family owned business and they are super nice! The pretzels though, so dang good! Went back 4 times on this trip, hahaha. My Boys loved them. The wife loved the sandwiches too. Will definitely return on our next visit.

Wanted a quick and affordable option for lunch and this did not disappoint! We got a CLUM with chips and a grilled cheese with tomato basil soup. The breads here are homemade (except for the GF option) and were amazing!! Very generous portion sizes as well, even for the grilled cheese which I ordered as a half. Definitely recommend!

Great sandwich place and best pretzel we have had! The giant pretzel came in a pizza box with 4 cheese sauces and was the perfect size for our party of 5 adults. We all loved the sandwiches and pretzel! The half sandwich has lots of meat and toppings and most are served hot. Don't miss this deli if you are looking for a quick bite for lunch. Not much seating inside but has some outside seating, too. We will be back!

I tried Pigeon Forge Deli back in October of 2024 and the garlic and parmesan pretzel still lingers in my mind. It was THAT good. I also got a cheesesteak sandwich which was also super delicious. The pretzels are from scratch so it takes a few minutes to be prepared but they are so worth it. Cannot wait to get another one day! Try the marinara as a dip if you get the garlic and parm pretzel.

First I want to say the sandwich was sooo good! Husband and I wanted an easy lunch and it was fabulous. A lady came out and checked on us and was very kind. The reason for only 2 stars for service and atmosphere was because the cashier. Extremely rude when we walked in it took me by surprise how rude he was. Playing with phone and had MAJOR attitude. I was so taken back by his attitude my husband had to order for us. After we ordered, our sandwich he repeated it back to us and my husband said can we please do no tomato. He responded with “that’s what I said” then proceeded with “so do you want anything else or not”. After we ordered it felt like we were a major inconvenience that we were there. We decided to take our sandwich and sit outside. We felt like we weren’t welcomed to sit inside. Hopefully it was an off day. I’m a big believer that everyone has hard days and that may have been the case with the cashier. However since that’s the first face you see when you walk in maybe he should have been making the sandwiches.
