What a way to start the day Pam treated me to an over the top in deliciousness Special Italian at PJ's Deli. I ordered mine with pepper jack cheese and ask them to make it an angry Italian by lacing it with Jalapenos. I've eaten mine grilled as well as heated in the past and like both ways, but really do prefer heated. This is a magnificent sandwich from a magnificent restaurant. We in Newton are very fortunate to have have them here.As you can clearly see from the last photo, PJ Deli has earned my coveted cleaned plate award and for sure has my highest recommendation.

I see all the 5 star reviews and wonder why I didn't get the same service.I went to this establishment to try a different restaurant. Barely any customers in the place and a couple ppl ahead of me in line. No 9ne acknowledged I was there. The staff didn't have any smiles. Didn't care for the atmosphere. I waited 10 minutes and had to sit because I'm handicapped. Still No one seemed to notice me. Haven't been back. Very disappointed.

The map leads you to the back door of this gem of a sandwich shop. Give their sandwiches and daily soups a try, and don’t forget the dill spread. You won’t regret it!Besides the delicious food, the staff is friendly and shop is clean and tidy with plenty of seats available.

Food looked great. But they put salad dressing on the sandwich instead of mayonnaise.

Not a bad spot to stop and get a sandwich if you don't mind waiting. It was very busy lunch rush and most of the seats were full. The food was good.

I had the Big Italian sandwich grilled and it was delicious. Came with chips and a pickle. Definitely recommend eating here.

We go out of our way to eat at this small town deli where the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I especially love the egg salad and agree the dill dip is worth the extra cost. We were in Des Moines last weekend and held off for a late lunch at PJ's on the way home, just made it in time to get finished before they closed. So good!
You can never go wrong with a salsa wrap, or super cheese! It feels like a good ol' deli establishment type of ambiance. Service is always super helpful with any extra items or questions you may have.

This place was okay better than a lot of the other restaurants in the town.

Love this small town deli. The staff always make you feel welcome and the food is good. If your going, get the dill dip for your chips. Cost extra but well worth it.
