Our Story
Silverside Deli is a one-of-a-kind, locally owned restaurant specializing in gourmet sandwiches & coffee. With over a decade in Salt Lake City’s culinary scene, Executive Chef Zach Wojdula brings fine-dining techniques from acclaimed kitchens like Current Fish & Oyster and White Horse to every sandwich.
As a former pastry instructor at the Park City Culinary Institute, Chef Zach has an almost spiritual connection to flavor balance. Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, and heat are all carefully harmonized with textures that actually make sense. He understands mouthfeel like poets understand heartbreak.
The result is an elevated yet approachable experience that redefines what a sandwich can be. This is not just a meal. This is what happens when a sandwich finally reaches its potential.
Approach
At Silverside Deli, we blend fine-dining obsession with the simple joy of a great sandwich. Everything is made fresh to order with top-tier ingredients from the best local purveyors because mediocre is not in our zip code.
We layer with intention, building depth, contrast, and harmony in every bite. Rich proteins, bright house-made condiments, and bread baked to the perfect chew-to-crisp ratio. Every ingredient has a purpose.
Our mission is simple. Be your go-to spot for an elevated, satisfying, and approachable dining experience. You come for a sandwich and leave having met your new standard.
Food
We craft bold, flavor-packed sandwiches that laugh at ordinary. Our house sauce is a 20-ingredient masterpiece that didn’t ask to be made but demanded to exist. One bite and you’ll understand.
​
Our New York-style breakfast sandwiches have earned a cult following, gaining a reputation as some of the best around.
​
The menu is always evolving with new, inventive specials every month. There’s always something fresh, exciting, and possibly life-changing to try. Whether you’re a hardcore foodie or just love a damn good sandwich, you’ve found your place.
Substitutions
At Silverside Deli, every sandwich is built for perfect balance. Because each ingredient plays a deliberate role, we do not offer substitutions or additions.
​
We do accommodate allergies or strong personal preferences by removing ingredients as needed. Every component, from the crisp produce to the rich house-made sauces and the ideal chew of our bread, is selected to create a harmonious bite.
​
Enjoy our sandwiches exactly as crafted. This is the menu as intended, and we think you will love every bite.
The Silverside Promise
Our sandwiches are more than food. Each one is layered, balanced, and perfected with near-spiritual devotion. Every ingredient earns its place.
​
Changing a sandwich is not just a minor adjustment. It disrupts the harmony we have created. True allergies or strong aversions are the exception.
Because we care about both the craft and the diner, if your first bite does not thrill you, return it. We will craft another sandwich with joy and zero ego until you find one you love.
