Little Deli & Pizzeria in Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the 1973 Woody Allen movie”Sleeper,” the neurotic comedian, writer, actor, and film director declaimed, “I believe there’s an intelligence to the universe, with the exception of certain parts of New Jersey<\/em>.”\u00a0 Comedian George Carlin pounced on New Jersey’s license plate, deriding the “Garden State<\/em>” sobriquet, expressing that it should be “The Tollbooth State<\/em>.”\u00a0 \u00a0In response to his son-in-law Michael “Meathead” Stivic’s “I hate Jersey<\/em>” comment, Archie Bunker declared “Everybody hates Jersey! But somebody’s gotta live there<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

New Jersey is the Rodney Dangerfield among the fifty states.\u00a0 It gets no respect, especially when compared with its nextdoor neighbor New York.\u00a0 Perceptions among some outsiders is that the population of New Jersey is replete with Italian-American Mafia types like Tony Soprano.\u00a0 Others perceive as accurate the unwatchable MTV “reality<\/em>” television series Jersey Shore which perpetuates Italian-American stereotypes of New Jerseyans.\u00a0 Its gratuitous use of the ethnic slurs “guido<\/em>” and “guidette<\/em>” are an affront to every good and decent resident of the state.<\/p>\n

Counter Where You Place Your Order<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Admittedly I haven’t spent much time in New Jersey.\u00a0 My first visit was just long enough to qualify on the M16 rifle before the Air Force sent me to RAF Upper Heyford, England.\u00a0 Would you consider it boasting if I rave about improving my previous score by 100%.\u00a0 Yes, I hit the target four times.\u00a0 My second visit was to the original White House Sub Shop<\/strong><\/a> in Atlantic City.\u00a0 Wait!\u00a0 Who goes to Atlantic City just to try a world-famous sub?\u00a0 The answer, of course, is someone who loves sub sandwiches.\u00a0 No ordinary sub sandwiches are these.\u00a0 The White House Sub Shop packs the most ethereal bread with the choicest meats, cheeses and fresh veggies.\u00a0 It’s one of the most famous sub shops in the world.<\/p>\n

Shamefully, I never did try New Jersey-style pizza. Food & Wine Magazine recently named the Garden State the number one state for pizza.\u00a0 Yes, over New York-style or Chicago-style.\u00a0 In the dark ages when I lived in Massachusetts, it was heretical to believe any pizza could touch New York-style.\u00a0 Even Bostonites knew New York style was the best.\u00a0 The Yankees over the Red Sox was another matter altogether.\u00a0 So, when visiting Austin, my dilemma was whether to return to Via 313<\/strong><\/a> for the best Detroit-style pizza outside the Motor City or visit Little Deli & Pizzeria which profers New Jersey style pizza described as “Jersey-style as they come\u2014thin, foldable, and just a bit crispy<\/em>. ”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Muffaletta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What’s that the proverbial “they” say about the best laid plans?\u00a0 The second I laid my eyes on the menu I knew I probably wouldn’t be having New Jersey-style pizza–even though it was available by the slice and visible right on the counter where you place your order.\u00a0 Two sandwiches caught my eye.\u00a0 First was the New Orleans muffaletta<\/strong><\/em> (layers of Genoa salami, mortadella, ham, provolone and homemade tapenade served on ciabatta bread, offered hot or cold).\u00a0 During our eight years living 90-miles from the Crescent City, we must have had fifty or so muffalettas.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0A muffaletta is a New Orleans staple, a sandwich so beloved in Louisiana that it rivals The Saints and Mardi Gras in terms of popularity.<\/p>\n

In New Orleans, purveyors of the muffaletta\u00a0 such as Central Grocery & Market<\/strong><\/a> have more visitors than local churches have congregants.\u00a0 How the heck can a Liliputian lair whose name includes the adjective “Little” possibly hope to accommodate the throngs?\u00a0 As it turns out, I may have been the only person during the duration of my visit ot have ordered a muffaletta.\u00a0 Most of the erudite Austinites were ordering pizza or other sandwiches.\u00a0 I don’t know if it was the 30 years that have elapsed since my last New Orleans muffaletta or the fact that Little Deli knows what it’s doing, but the muffaletta could pass muster (or is that mustard).\u00a0 Though not as mammoth (the size of a semi’s tire) as a muffaletta from Central Grocery, Little Deli’s rendition was made of the right stuff…and plenty of it.\u00a0 The olive oil, one of the sandwich’s chief components, was spot on and the bread was hearty and airy.\u00a0 What a wonderful treat!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Half a Reuben<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In my research of Little Deli, I learned that its reuben sandwich is widely considered one of, if not the<\/em> best in Austin.\u00a0 It’s even called “Austin’s Best Reuben<\/strong><\/em>” on the menu.\u00a0 This reuben is constructed with your “choice of original corned beef, or for a nice change try turkey, or top round pastrami, topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on griddled rye bread<\/em>.”\u00a0 Because I had already ordered a muffaletta, the counter dude recommended I order just half a reuben.\u00a0 Gullible dumba$$ that I am, I acquiesed.\u00a0 \u00a0The reuben was the archetype (the ideal form according to Plato) of what a reuben should be.\u00a0 Every ingredient was in perfect proportion to every other ingredient, a complementary match of deliciousness upon deliciousness.\u00a0 The lightly griddled rye was soft and buttery, the corned beef sliced into thin shards and the thousand island and the sauerkraut was just the right level of sour.\u00a0 This has got to be not only Austin’s best reuben, but the best in Texas.<\/p>\n

As if hot and cold deli sandwiches, Italian subs and pizza aren’t enough, Little Deli also serves a number of salads, calzones, gyros stromboli and soups made fresh daily.\u00a0 \u00a0Desserts–including the famous black and white cookie–look amazing.\u00a0 How a deli that lives up to the name “Little” can do so much is beyond me.\u00a0 It’s got to be New Jersey magic.<\/p>\n
