The signature sandwich at Noni’s Deli in the Old Fourth Ward is a classic Italian sub, featuring salami, soppressata and mortadella. The expertly proportioned toppings include provolone, tomato, pepperoncini, shredded romaine, aioli and vinaigrette, on a toasted hoagie. Plus, there’s a generous snowcap of hard Italian cheese, like pecorino or Parmesan.

The ingredient list alone would excite any sandwich enthusiast, but, when you order delivery, the wait makes the Noni even better. The vinaigrette has time to soak into the bread, spreading its flavor more evenly throughout the sandwich. The tightly wrapped meats and cheeses become more compressed. Toppings that normally might slip out of the bun are tamed, settling into the amalgamation.

The end product is a sandwich that is a bit softer and easier to eat, and which provides full flavor in just about every bite.

Noni’s Deli. 357 Edgewood Ave., Atlanta. 404-343-1808, nonisdeli.com.
