WELCOME TO
SHORTY'S!
Chef Nathan Anda—known for Red Apron and HiFi Tex Mex BBQ—has opened Shorty’s Deluxe in the heart of Del Ray: a neighborhood sandwich shop with big flavor and even bigger personality.
Named for one of the team members who’s been with us since the very beginning, Shorty’s is a nod to the people and places that built this corner of the city. The menu leans bold—fresh-baked breads, stacked sandwiches, hearty soups, and salads that crank the flavors up to eleven. We’re pouring great coffee and espresso, too, with seasonal specials that make it the best place on the Ave to start your day.
It’s fast, friendly, and made for real lunch people. Great for catering, easy to love, and proud to call Del Ray home.
Open daily from 9am until 5pm
coffee and pastries from 9 until 11
full menu from 11 until 5
THE SHORTY'S
SANDWICH
At Shorty’s Deluxe, the bread is the foundation of it all. Made fresh daily, each 12-inch round loaf is the perfect canvas for the shop’s muffuletta-inspired sandwiches. Guests can choose from four sizes to suit their cravings: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or a whole round—ideal for sharing, saving for later, or taking to-go.
The sandwich lineup is all about flavor without pretense, with names inspired by the legendary punk rock band, The Ramones. Options like the Joey, loaded with Italian meats, olive salad, and garlic aioli, or the Johnny, featuring roasted beef, whipped gorgonzola, and salsa verde, are hearty, satisfying, and anything but ordinary. Other standouts include the Dee Dee, pairing mortadella with pistachios and onion marmalade, and the Richie, a tuna-packed sandwich with nicoise olives and roasted peppers. Even vegetarians have a winner with the Tommy, combining marinated artichokes, giardiniera, and whipped ricotta.
