Hard-crust bread. Hand-sliced cold cuts. The original Dearborn deli, family-owned and fiercely Italian — with a halal meat option for everyone at the table.
Detroit's beloved food page @summershomemademeals stopped by V. Gonella's and spread the word. The line speaks for itself — Dearborn's worst-kept secret is officially out.
Want it halal? Just ask. We carry halal turkey and halal roast beef, plus we'll fire up a halal steak & cheese on request — all sourced from SAAD Wholesale Meats, Dearborn's trusted name in zabiha halal since 1976.
Two flags fly over Outer Drive — one American, one Italian. Underneath, V. Gonella's has been turning out the kind of subs that get passed down generations. It's not fancy. It's not trying to be. It's just real food, made right, by people who know your name.
Outstanding Italian subs! The 6 and 2 with everything on hard bread — can't go wrong. Super fast, super friendly.
Great service, awesome soft bread subs, family owned is always a plus!
Great cold cut sub — quick, good price, good size, good staff.
Pull up, grab a number, and get your sub the way it was meant to be made.
Six meats, two cheeses, hard-crust bread. The sandwich Dearborn keeps coming back for.
