We have found an AWESOME high end deli (Michael J's Deli & Catering) located in Ellisville. When you first walk in the aroma of the housemade soups, chilis and entree's are outstanding.

The menu offers high end classic deli options with EVERY order made after it's placed. They offer outstanding corn beef and pastrami and even have a 2+ pound sandwich. It has 7 meats and 2 cheeses and weighs over 2 pounds. It's an outstanding value.

They use bread from Fazio's Bakery which is an institution on the Hill. Also, this deli is unique in that it is also a full service catering company offerring entree's that range from chicken marsala to roasted pork loin to fantastic pastas.

Lastly the walls are covered with REAL sports memorabilia, not the stuff you buy from a catalog.

It's a small independently owned business and I would encourage all of you to go to Michael J's Deli located in the Clarkson Clayton Center which is a Dierberg's and Chevy's plaza.

Call them at and they'll even deliver your order!
