As a gift, food is already a little surprising – even more ridiculous when it comes in the mail! I’m not talking about those crappy plastic-wrapped gift baskets. I mean Katz’s premium deli meats from America’s greatest deli. When we started our online deli, we knew that many people who love Katz’s have never even considered that you can get mail-order pastrami. Well that’s changed and our customers now send food by mail as gifts all the time.

                                                                      FROM HOUSTON STREET....

                                                                                        ...TO YOUR TABLE   

We hear great stories about people’s reactions when Katz’s shows up at their front door, ranging from stupified shock to giddy joy. And then they eat. And then they keep eating. And they think to themselves, “mail-order pastrami, what a great idea…and not any pastrami, Katz’s pastrami.” And then they keep eating until the tears of joy stream down their food-coma faces.

Don’t be offended if your loved ones forget to call you. Oh, they’ll be satisfied but they may be too full and happy to get to a phone. This is one reason we started our online deli, so people could bring enjoyment into their friends and family’s lives. The world is a better place with Katz’s premium mail-order pastrami.

Sure, food by mail isn’t quite the same as our deli on Houston St. But hey, our iconic 123 year old Lower East Side deli is just a little older than our online gift store. Still, beats the low-grade “pastrami” (if you can call it that) you can buy at a local supermarket…

We appreciate every order and often think about the smiling faces on the other end. Send a gift package today and tell us your story!
