Editorial Review for Shapiro's Delicatessen – by Marc Allan
In Short
"Cook good; serve generously; price modestly; people will come" is the motto for Indianapolis' best deli. A city landmark since 1905, it's also one of its most accomplished bakeries. Dozens of multi-layered cakes, pies, cookies, bagels, breads and more fill the huge display cases. The Hoosier Mud Pie, a specialty, will satisfy any chocoholic's need for rich, thick chocolate.

I am not a real fan of cafeteria style food so my review may be skewed. This was my first visit to Shapiros, I went with a group of coworkers for lunch. I felt that the sandwiches were over priced, although they were large. I was disappointed in my dessert - a huge piece of "peanut butter cake" that unfortuntely didn't taste like peanut butter at all. Not a bad place to eat, but for the $10 my meal cost (no drink) I could get better elsewhere.
Pros: Location, Quick Service
Cons: Price

I've been going to Shapiro's since I was a kid and it is fantastic! $9 is a lot for a corned beef sandwhich but worth every penny. The portions are huge. The corned beef is cooked perfectly and the rye bread is great. I now live in Portland, OR and have yet to find a Jewish deli even close. And believe me I have looked. Now sadly the only time I get to go to Shap's is when I fly home for Christmas. I actually booked my return flight this year so my family and I would have enough time to stop there for lunch on the way to the airport. I've only had the corned beef so this review really only reflects that item, but given that I only get to go once a year I don't dare mess with perfection. 25 days and counting and I will be there.
