🎉 BIG NEWS, Indy! 🎉

Shapiro's Deli just landed on IndyStar 's list of the Top 10 sandwiches in Indianapolis — and honestly? We're not surprised, but we ARE proud. 🥪🏆

Our Reuben isn't just a sandwich, it's history on rye. This corned beef staple has been part of the Shapiro's story so long that it's woven into the fabric of Indianapolis itself — we even donated our 25+ year old corned beef pot to the U.S. military as scrap metal during WWII. That's dedication to the craft that runs deep.

What makes it legendary? Rose-colored, thin-sliced corned beef piled high, pressed until it looks like a shuffled deck of cards. Tangy Russian dressing. Half-melted Swiss. A pungent kick of sauerkraut. All held together by buttery toasted rye that somehow — miraculously — stays three-dimensional under all that weight.

Yes, it's a commitment (and a splurge). That's why we introduced the half-Reuben - The Rebecca - for $15.50 — for when you want the legend without going all in. But let's be honest... once you smell it, you're getting the whole thing. 😉

The Rebecca Sandwich is the meat of a half sandwich (any of our legendary and iconic sandwiches) as a FULL sandwich! Finally a smaller sandwich at Shapiro's Deli! It only took 100 years!

Thank you to everyone who's kept this tradition alive with us for generations. This one's for you. 🧡

📍 Come taste what Top 10 tastes like!
