Brent's Delicatessen & Restaurant
Valley institution serving mile-high sandwiches with house-cured pastrami since 1967
Notable Picks
Valley institution since 1967 stacking house-cured black pastrami on rye—the pepper-coated cut that regulars compare favorably to Langer's downtown. Mile-high sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and a 555 combo define the menu. Zagat, LA Magazine, and LA Times have all named it #1 deli in Los Angeles at various points; the outdoor mall parking lot eliminates Valley parking anxiety.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hot Pastrami Sandwich, Matzo Ball Soup, Corned Beef Sandwich
What Makes it Special: Valley institution serving mile-high sandwiches with house-cured pastrami since 1967
A 1964-era sub counter that builds every sandwich on lightly steamed sesame seed bread and finishes it with a chunky Italian tomato salad dressed in oil, vinegar, and cracked black pepper—a two-part signature that has kept CSUN students and Northridge regulars cycling through a three-table strip mall space for six decades. The menu runs deep on cold cuts and Italian-style subs at prices that match the no-frills setup, making it a reliable lunch stop where the craft is in the bread and the salad, not the decor.
Must-Try Dishes:
My Hero Special Sandwich, Pastrami Sandwich, Breast of Turkey
What Makes it Special: Open since 1964, every sub is built on lightly steamed sesame seed bread and topped with their signature chunky Italian tomato salad marinated in oil, vinegar, and cracked black pepper.
