The Deli Counter — The Heart of Sam's

Sam's Italian Market brings a taste of Italy to the Central Valley with a full-service deli counter featuring hand-sliced imported meats, artisan cheeses, fresh deli salads, antipasto, and hot prepared foods. Every item is selected and prepared with the same quality, tradition, and care that have kept families coming back since 1980.

Old World Flavor, Freshly Sliced

The deli counter at Sam's is built on the same philosophy that has guided the Marziliano family since 1980: source the best ingredients, treat them with care, and serve every customer like family.

You'll find a carefully curated selection of imported Italian and domestic favorites like Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Auricchio Provolone, alongside premium brands including Boar's Head, Molinari & Sons, Columbus Craft Meats, and Cooper® Cheese.

Always searching for new products and flavors, Nick Marziliano continues to bring exciting additions to the counter while honoring the Italian traditions that built Sam's. Whether you're looking for the perfect ingredients for a recipe, antipasto for a charcuterie board, or quality sandwich meats in Fresno, the deli counter at Sam's delivers quality you can taste.
