Papanani's Deli

Delis & Sandwiches

About

Papanani's Deli in downtown San Diego's Harbor Island district has served dockside sandwiches, soups, and pizza from the Cabrillo Isle Safe Harbor Marina for over 20 years. The menu runs over 40 items across hot and cold sandwiches, three-egg omelets, and made-to-order pizza, a scope of kitchen output that positions the deli alongside full-service sandwich operations like Grapes & Hops Deli downtown. A curated beer program stocks domestic, premium, and microbrew selections alongside wine and champagne, all served on a patio overlooking San Diego Bay and the marina's sailboat slips. Weekend BBQ service fires up burgers, hot dogs, and rotating specials on an outdoor grill facing the water, drawing a boater and visitor crowd separate from the weekday marina tenants who stock up at the sundries counter stocked by harbor-adjacent suppliers like First & Ivy Market. The heaviest production runs pair the outdoor grill line with the indoor sandwich kitchen and espresso bar, turning out simultaneous catering trays, dine-in orders, and walk-up marina traffic on peak weekend afternoons.
