For 50 years, San Carlo Italian Deli in Chatsworth has been more than just a place to grab a sandwich—it’s been a cornerstone of the San Fernando Valley, a beloved gathering spot, and a home away from home for lovers of authentic Italian food. And now, they’ve officially hit a major milestone: five decades of serving the community with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of flavor.
In our latest episode of Eat Live Love San Fernando Valley, we had the privilege of capturing the magic of San Carlo Deli’s 50th anniversary celebration—and what a day it was! The deli was buzzing with energy as longtime regulars, new fans, and three generations of customers came together to honor the family-owned business that’s stood the test of time.
Our cameras were there to take you behind the scenes of the festivities—from the giveaways and car show to mouthwatering spreads of the deli’s iconic sandwiches and more. You’ll hear from loyal customers who’ve been coming since the ’70s, staff members who feel like family, and the family themselves as they reflect on what these 50 years have meant.
But more than anything, this episode is a tribute to what makes San Carlo Deli so special. Since 1975, they’ve stayed true to their roots, offering homemade Italian recipes passed down through generations. Every bite—from the perfectly layered subs to the rich, creamy cannoli—tells a story of tradition and pride. Walking into San Carlo Deli still feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy right here in Chatsworth.
This celebration wasn’t just about looking back—it was also a promise to keep going, to keep serving the community with love, and to keep making San Carlo Deli a place where food brings people together.
If you’ve never been, now’s the perfect time to experience the magic for yourself. And if you’re a lifelong fan, this video is a heartfelt thank-you to you—for supporting one of the Valley’s true culinary treasures.
Here’s to 50 incredible years, San Carlo—and to many more!
