Felice Italian Pork & Delicatessen

My wife and I drove 68 miles each way from Winter Haven to eat the best Italian subs we’ve ever had. It was a long drive but well worth it. Since Felice doesn’t have plans to open a location close to where we live, we’ll just have to treat ourselves whenever the urge hits us. My Romeo & Juliet hot sub was to die for and my wife’s Supremo sub was also great. For the size of the sandwiches, the price was just right. Felice rocks.

Thank you Unilocalers for putting me on to this place. Seen it a handful of times and thought it was just a butcher I would check out at some point.
I have had some of the best sandwiches of my life at this place. My favorite is Felices Special. It starts with perfectly cooked crusty but fresh and chewy Italian bread. They then roasted peppers oil and basil. They then shave prosciutto to order and top it off with their homemade mozzarella that can compete with an Italian farmer that owns their own buffalo.
To top this place off is the friendliest lady in all of Pinellas county. If you are having a bad day visit her and she will put a smile on your face and turn your frown upside down.
There are not to many seats as it also is a full service deli and small grocer with many oils and ingredients from overseas.
If you want the best sandwich in Pinellas it is here. Anyone that complains about price does not know what quality food costs and should stick with subway.

The best Italian deli in the area. The subs are fantastic specifically the Marco Polo. I have been going to Felices for 15 years. It doesn’t get better.

Wow the godfather was fantastic. I’m a big guy and could only eat half. Will be back for sure for the best Italian sub in the Bay Area.

I saw Sophia’s photo of The Godfather, and I rushed right over as quickly as I could to try this sandwich. The place is part deli, part market. There was a line, and rightfully so as they have fresh mozzarella, olives, Italian sausage, and other delectable items. I was here for The Godfather though, so I patiently waited my turn.
I received said sandwich, and I retreated to the back of the establishment where they have a few tables. The sandwich is pretty large, and stuffed full of cappicola, genoa salami, mortadella, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing… so I’ll say that it’s worthy of its name.
The meats were tasty, but the bread was a bit rough, and tore up the roof of my mouth a bit. Maybe it’s because I have a delicate Scandinavian mouth, and not a tough Italian mouth, or maybe I have a lot to learn about proper sandwich eating technique. Nonetheless, it is a really good sandwich, but not my favorite Italian sandwich in Pinellas.
The staff/​owners are very authentic and friendly, and I would love to come back for some of their other deli items.

Get over here and try the Godfather! I was only going to take a couple of bites in the car because I was so hungry, and needed a little something to hold me over, but sandwich did not make it home. That’s right, I ate the whole thing. Crumbs and Sesame Seeds all over the damn place. No shame, but I might have to stop and vacuum :-D Awesome Sandwich .
Why have I not been here before?
Mazzaro’s Who?

Learned about this place through a work friend who was kind enough to share the prosciutto she bought here. It was super fresh. Ordered one of their cold sandwiches… delicious! Can I just buy the whole store? They sell the ravioli and other pasta in boxes, like my mom used to buy it back in Argentina. The owners are fun, and loud, like good Italians!

These guys make the best subs. So much bang for your buck. I typically get the Felices special sub and it’s amazing. The peppers on olive oil work great with the crisp of the bread. The subs will run ya about 9 – 10 bucks but i dare u to find that much excellent meat on any sub. Try taking home one of their premade meals such as eggplant Parmesan, Baked Ziti, Antipasta, this spaghetti patty concoction that was damn delicious, and many other things. if your going down us 19 and dont want to make dinner this will be a crowd pleaser.

LOVE. THIS. PLACE.
I love to open the door and let those wonderful smells draw me in. The staff is friendly and helpful.
To be honest I haven’t gotten past the deli case. I could easily be persuaded to drop in every day for a ball of the fresh mozzarella… made fresh daily on the premises… literally to die for. Love it by itself or in a Caprese salad. I’m also mad for their marinated artichoke hearts. Sandwiches are huge and made fresh to order.
I really do need to spend some time wandering through the grocery section and sampling some of their frozen dishes at home. I’m sure they will be as delicious as expected.
Felice is a favorite in Clearwater, especially for an Italian American a thousand miles from her roots.

Nicely presented fresh produce, with friendly staff, and some great lunch time sandwiches made fresh, we like the baked ziti or the lasagna pre made meal to take home, very tasty.

Very over priced, average hoagies. They actually have the nerve to charge $ 6.95 for a jar of Cento Hot Peppers, come on. With WaWa and Public producing stellar hoagies, save your breath and go there.

I am becoming a regular here. It’s a small. Italian Market on US 19 in Clearwater, just south of Curlew Rd behind the Bob Evans in a strip mall.
When you walk in– ahh, it’s magnificent to a foodie!
Glass cases to the left with cold cuts, ready made salads and the last case has prepared foods such as chicken cutlets, fried eggplant, meatballs, Stromboli, stuffed pizza, hanging freshly made in house sausage (Capicola), numerous options for fresh meats such as sausage, Pork chops, steak and ground beef.
There are also a handful of ready made dinners for 12.99−14.99 such as chicken Marsala, chicken parm, baked ziti, etc. Soups in large containers are 7.99 and ready to heat and eat. They even have cannolis!
The other side of the store is an Italian market with your regular pastas, cookies, tomatoes galore, etc. There is a freezer section where you get deals on frozen meals and soups too.
They even make sandwiches, which are big, subs loaded with cold cuts and whatever condiments you like.
Catering– I would be remiss without telling of their catering. We have used them several times. They delivered and set up with sterno a big smörgåsbord of items that we got rave reviews from our guests. No work, for us at our party with delicious foods and affordable price? Yup! They are our go to for parties! I love to cook, but why should I?
Go here and go back in time and take a little trip to Italy right here in Clearwater!

The size of the subs are big, and they are also higher in price than the regular sub, HOWEVER the taste very good and it’s it worth it! Very good and quality meat!

I stopped in for a quick snack and grabbed a cannoli and espresso. The cannoli was to die for and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Plus the service was great, the owners are very nice.

By far the best homemade roast beef EVER!
The subs blow away Publix and any other place around!
Friendly helpful staff will guide you through the menu and make suggestions for you!

This place will make you forget about Subway and Publix subs after your first bite. I got the Roly Poly which is the best meatball sub I’ve ever had.
Fresh is always better, and it doesn’t get any fresher than this place. Fresh mozzarella, fresh meat sauce, and fresh homemade meatballs. And you can taste the difference, it’s amazing.
If I have any need for Italian food I am going to check here first.

Have been there 10 or so more times since my first review. Felice market never disappoints it just keeps getting better every time I have something new.
Owners and crew are always so friendly and helpful.

I can FINALLY take this one off my bookmarked list! For years I’ve been wanting to try the sandwiches at this little Italian deli/​market, and this past weekend my son and I made it happen.
Upon walking in, I couldn’t help notice how many Italians were in this place. I felt like I was in Brooklyn in the 50’s. I go up to the counter to order a pressed GODFATHER Sammy, and the guy behind the counter has a pretty thick Italian accent, so I knew this was the place to be. My boy orders a DOUBLE DECKER CLUB, then we walk around and check out the grocery items. Our order is ready in about 5 minutes. Hands down, these were some of the biggest and best sandwiches we had ever encountered.
The Godfather is their version of an «Italian sandwich,» and comes with capicola, soppressata, salami and provolone cheese on a 12″ Italian roll. Phenomenal.
The Double Decker contained the standard club sandwich ingredients, except it was on fresh marble rye and heavy on the meat. Great sandwich.
I think there about 20 sandwiches on the menu, and I aim to try them all!

I got to tell you. I am glad that I went to this wonderful spot. I got to even make my Mother and Father In-​law (100% Italian) super jealous. Walking in the smell of garlic, seasonings and olive oil immediately make your mouth start watering. I was greeted by Felice the owner. I told him that I my wife was a 100% Italian and that she would be jealous of this place.
As far as the food goes there were so many choices. I decided to the Felice Special made exactly as Felice himself liked it. We also got some Anti-​Pasta and some dried sausage the he cures himself. In one word it was OUTSTANDING!
This is a great place. Very fresh and delicious. It was also reasonably priced. For a split sandwich, anti-​pasta, dried sausage and two drink were a little under $ 16.
Will def be back and would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great little Italian deli. Do not come here if you are on a diet.
This was an awesome find (thank you, Unilocalers!). There is a little store with all sorts of good Italian foodstuff: all sorts of types of pastas, freshly made sausage.
I tried the Felice Special sandwich. There was freshly sliced prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and marinated red peppers on a large Italian loaf. It was huge! I couldn’t finish half.
