Massive sandwich for $15. I got the not a Reuben and it had to be 16 inches long. I really liked the flavor of their Seitan meat, and it wasn’t dry. The bread was fantastic - it was an excellent crusty roll. However, the sandwich tasted off. I like sauerkraut and mustard so maybe it was the vegan cheese sauce that sort of ruined the flavor and prevented it from being an amazing sandwich. It looked gray and gross so this was probably it. Garden Grille right up the road still has the best Reuben-type sandwich I’ve ever had. I know PVDeli’s isn’t a typical Reuben sandwich because there’s no rye bread, but they should take notes from what Garden Grille does. There’s is out of this world!

PVDeli has garnered praise for its massive sandwiches, with reviewers consistently raving about the flavor of their Seitan meat and the quality of their crusty rolls. The Scooby Doo challenge, a 4 lb sandwich that must be consumed in under 30 minutes, has also been a hit, with reviewers enjoying the delicious sandwich and the great vibes in the deli.
To plan your visit, note that PVDeli has a good variety of sandwiches, including classic cold cut options and deli salads. However, reviewers have mentioned that the sandwiches can sometimes taste off, possibly due to the vegan cheese sauce. Be prepared for long wait times, as reviewers have traveled from far and wide to try the Scooby Doo challenge. Reservations and hours of operation are not mentioned in the reviews.

I traveled 2.5 hours each way to eat here. I tried the Scooby Doo challenge (eat the 4 lb Scooby Doo Sandwich in under 30 minutes). I had a blast because, 1. The sandwich was delicious 2. The vibes in the deli were great 3. I was surprised by the price, that much yummy food would be way more expensive anywhere else Thank you, PVDeli!

Delicious vegan deli in Providence, connected to a delicious vegan ice cream spot as well. I love that this place has some of the classic cold cut sandwiches and many of the classic deli salad, like pasta and potato salads. Portions were also huge! They have a good variety of sandwiches. Every Sunday, they also have a special meatball sandwich. Can't wait to come back
