However, with the restaurant&#8217;s excellent selection of sandwiches, I could see it opening more locations someday.<\/p>\n<p>On the menu are 16 sandwiches served hot and toasted, and any of them can be made into a wrap. As an obvious first choice, I got the namesake Tommy Salami ($9.25), which was stacked with pastrami, salami, pepperoni, red peppers and gouda cheese. I enjoyed it, though I wish that the meat was more evenly spread out, as some bites had a ton and some had none.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301-300x264.jpg\" alt=\"Tommy Salami's\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301-1024x900.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301-768x675.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301-1536x1350.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113301.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The Santa Fe Hit ($9.25) also had a lot going for it, with sliced chicken, pepper jack cheese, avocado and corn relish. In every bite, you are greeted with multiple flavors that meshed well together.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked the relatively simple Hot Ham Hit ($8.95), which was served on a soft ciabatta roll. Meanwhile, the Godfather ($8.95), made of a surprisingly tasty combo of salami, ham, turkey and mozzarella, used white bread that was put in a waffle maker.<\/p>\n<p>I converted the Crunch Capo ($9.99) into a wrap. The fried jalapeno chips added depth in terms of texture and a little heat to the turkey, bacon, avocado and pepperjack cheese. Still, it needed more of the chipotle ranch.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, you can make any sandwich into a combo with chips, potato salad or coleslaw, plus a drink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"Tommy Salami's\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105-1024x774.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105-1536x1161.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250703_113105.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The salads ($12.49) here are huge. The Family Secret was a solid choice for its chicken, bacon, eggs, gorgonzola and tomatoes, plus potato straws for a wonderful crunch.<\/p>\n<p>Among the soups ($4.99 for a cup, $7.50 for a bowl), I tried the chicken tortilla, which was super creamy and full of white meat but a little bland, and the tomato bisque, which was perfectly seasoned and hearty.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Salami&#8217;s is open for lunch and dinner every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy Salami&#8217;s is a new sandwich shop that replaces McAlister&#8217;s Deli in Lake Delton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[227,68],"class_list":["post-9933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-restaurant-reviews","tag-lake-delton","tag-sandwiches"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9933"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9939,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9933\/revisions\/9939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
