Valnizza Market & Liquor

fresh roasted turkey is the reason i go here not a deli roll all compressed. the owners are friendly and i go at least once a week.

Expensive and stale food. My Family had the sandwiches once nice size but no wow factor. Owners were friendly… the last three times I have stopped in the food was expired and the chocolate was bad white spots almost like sat in the sun a long time. crackers no good either. Make sure to check expiration dates on items.

I just ordered the teriyaki chicken. As soon as I got into my car, the foulest stench I have ever smelled quickly filled the cabin. I was sure I had made a mistake. I got back to my office, opened the container, and nearly gagged. I decided, for the sake of just having spent ten dollars, to sample it anyway. Big mistake. Truly nasty food. Please, spend your $$$ elsewhere.

Standard deli sandwiches at decent prices about 7 bucks per. The slices are a bit thick but they do give quite a bit of meat. You can probably get away with half a sandwich.

The owners of this place are very down to earth people! They have great customer service. On top of that, they make exceptional sandwiches. You must try the tri tip BBQ sandwich, very delicious. Will always stop by when I am im the area

I never had much of a standard for a place that served sandwiches, a sandwich is a sandwich right?
I was so WRONG.
This place is amazing, Its hard for me to get sandwiches other places now, and they have a pretty good selection of little conveniences/​snacks/​liquors on the side as well.

Great for a quick lunch! The soft baked bread is fantastic and my husband’s tri-​tip sandwich was great! It’s a little pricey but the sandwiches are huge and they don’t skimp on meat so it’s definitely worth it. I wish they would add olive oil and salt and pepper to the condiments though.

Bomb!
This place is a hidden gem in Monterey! I always passed by it. So i figured id give it a shot. I will be back, and recommend it to everyone!

Yum! Great roast beef, soft bun. Chip selection included gluten free. Ready very quickly. Glad I went.

The sandwiches here are awesome. Don’t let the storefront fool you. It’s a little pricier than Randy’s ($ 6.99 versus $ 5), but way worth it. The bread is super fresh, the veggies are clean and crisp, and the deli meats aren’t the rubbery smooth stuff you buy at the grocery store. When selecting your bread, go for the SOFT ROLL. Highly recommended.

I love the delicious sandwiches here. The earlier u get there the softer the bread. I see some people think it’s pricy but I think it’s worth every penny. Very clean place. I love the chicken Patsu sandwich because it has delicious pesto sauce on it. You get to fill out a form to make sure u get just what u want every time. I love this place!

I wish it was just a tad cheaper. BUT… do not let that dissuade you. I really like it here… CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! It is not like Rand-​somenthing down the street!
I love the mom and pop feel, I have no worries that anything I order will be less than great.
The options are very nice and different than other sandwich shops in the area. They make their own turkey (not the water filled cold cut, but real turkey breast) and roast beef. Plus there are lunch boxes made daily. Give it a try.

Best deli sandwiches is the world. I’m a picky eater and they have a handy slip of paper where I can just check off whatever I want on my sandwich. I love that. No pre made options to choose from or sworn names, just high quality ingredients and no fuss. For $ 6 – 7 you basically get a foot-​long sub with whatever you want on it (obviously things like avocado are extra). I usually get roast beef, onions, pepperocinis, and Swiss on the most delicious sweet roll. Cut in half and rolled in paper I grab some dirty chips and a drink and just eat inside on their tables. Also I live practically next door so its convenient.

This sandwich place is awesome. I found out that this was my husband secret lunch spot. There is a lot of street parking and tables inside to sit and eat.

I love these sandwiches! You get to chose what you want from a variety of high quality ingredients. Drop in, check the boxes of the items you want on their classic ‘sandwich form’, and leave it on the counter. 5 minutes later you’ll leave the store with a high quality sandwich in your hand. If the sandwiches were $ 1-​$ 2 less on average then I would come far more often because it would be an unbeatable option. I tend to get a turkey breast sandwich on marbled rye break with honey mustard, mayo, peperoncini, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it :)
Don’t expect too much else from the market. The only other thing I’ve purchased here is Dirty Chips (Salt & Vinegar). This is a sandwich only rating.

This is a small market near NPS that really is a sandwich shop that sells sodas, chips, and beer.
Let’s be up front: This is all about the sandwiches. If you are there for something else, well, expect something of lower quality.
The sandwiches are great if a little pricey. I’ve tried most of the menu and you can’t go wrong. The bread is freshly delivered in the morning and is great quality. Good egg salad sandwich, good turkey, etc. The drinks and chips are a bit pricey but I think it’s a quality vs quality tradeoff. The sandwiches are not soggy (like a nearby shop) and you don’t feel like you are going to be sick after eating one (like a nearby shop).
Come for the sandwiches, pay a bit more for soda and chips. It’s not a bad place to go.

We haven’t tried their sandwiches, so this review is just for the convenience store aspect to it. I should be fair and say several people have recommended the sandwiches, at least for standard quick-​sandwich-​shop fare.
I am a little loathe to beat up on the neighborhood store, since the economics are what they are for small family-​owned businesses and you expect higher prices, but the price-​to-​value ratio for this place is way off. Goods are expensive and a fairly poor selection, and although I’m sure they make their margins on the liquor, having coffee that was actually hot would be a huge plus considering you pay more for it on an ounce-​for-​ounce basis than Starbucks’.
I’m also of two minds about the fact that (a) they let us use their restroom for my desperately-​bladder-​bursting child in tow, or (b) they do so quite grudgingly and told me «just this time». I appreciate the fact they kept us from having an accident on their floor — and we were buying, not just asking to use the juanito — but for a store that sells food to go, I’d think an actual restroom service was not only a nicety, but a necessity. Wash hands, anyone?
And finally, while I admit this is a pet peeve — they are among the trend of merchants I have noticed recently who rounded _​up_​on a purchase close to a round dollar amount. I’m sorry, it may be only a nickel, but that nickel is mine. I appreciate that you may round down for other customers whose tab is a nickel over the round dollar, but it should be my choice to make as to whether to keep the change or not.
In the end I can’t go with what I wish the place were, but what my gut reaction says, which is I’d only go back in if we were desperate for something, and that gets it down into two-​star territory.

I love their sandwiches ! Price is right on the level.
The size and quality of their food is fantastic. I go 1 – 2 X week.
my daughter told me about this great place — so go check it out! You won’t be disappointed.

I love this place! Their sandwiches are delicious!!! They seem to get a good amount of people coming through here at lunch. If you’re in a hurry, you can call or fax in your order ahead of time. Their prices for convenience items are a bit high, but that’s to be expected from a mom and pop store in the middle of a residential neighborhood. They’re well stocked on a lot of essential little things (eg: TP, charcoal, light bulbs, candles, scissors, etc.). Not to mention they have a pretty darn good selection of liquors and beer.
If you walk in and it looks like no one is around, they’re really watching you on the cameras from their office. When you walk up to the counter, they’ll come out.

3.5 stars
A solid neighborhood market no more no less. Stopped by for a few snack but I do look forward to hitting up their sandwich bar.
