About Halfday Deli

Halfday Deli runs as a bustling sandwich counter by day, flipping into a wine and pizza room when dusk rolls in. Bread is baked in-house using fine Italian flour—yielding airy focaccia and crisp crusts stacked with chicken cotoletta, pastrami, or melted egg. Morning regulars drop in for cold brew flights and espresso pulled on La Marzocco gear. Come evening, vinyl plays against low lighting as tables fill for crisp slices like the hot honey salami alongside polenta chips and chilled glasses of pinot.

  • In-house baked bread: Focaccias and sandwich loaves are mixed and baked on-site using fine Italian flour.
  • Day-to-night service: The counter shifts from day sandwiches and cold brew to evening pizza, snacks, and wine pairings.
  • Specialty coffee focus: Espresso pulled on La Marzocco gear alongside diverse cold brew options.

  • Fluffy Handcrafted Evening Pizzas

    Pizzas are prepared on light, fluffy bases with rich tomato sauce and quality gourmet ingredients.

    the real hero was the pizza base and sauce. The toppings were out of this world, but I couldn’t stop focusing on the rich tomato sauce and how light, fluffy and perfectly cooked the base was.

  • Exciting Flavor Combinations

    Guests feel inspired and confident trying unexpected ingredient pairings across savory sandwiches and seasonal bakes.

    The flavours from the ingredients that are put together in a way that you would not predict to do yourself were an absolute party in my mouth.

  • Atmospheric Tunes and Energetic Space

    The venue transitions from a daylight deli into a vibrant evening destination set to curated music and warm service.

    The house tunes were a vibe and contributed to a great atmosphere. The portions were substantial, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will have to return to try the dinner menu pizzas next time!

  • Chilli chicken sandwich

    We ordered a few, and my opinion is that the chilli chicken sandwich is the standout star.

  • Chicken cotoletta sandwich

    The chicken cotoletta was so good, juicy, crunchy, the bread on point and that sauce is addictive.
