Corned Beef Sandwich

$27.95

NY Reuben (Cole Slaw)

Delicious corned beef piled on top of Swiss cheese but tucked inside is our own housemade cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. 1000 Island Dressing is smeared on to our house-baked, hand cut rye bread just before it is grilled to perfection.

Pastrami Reuben (Sauerkraut)

$26.59

NY Pastrami Reuben (Coleslaw)

$29.19

Pastrami Sandwich

Our pastrami comes from a custom cut of meat of the best cows, it is lightly smoked and sent directly from the pastrami masters in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Shapiro’s kitchen, where we cook it ourselves. Where else can you get that? THAT’S why our pastrami tastes so much better! Ours is delicious and one-of-a-kind. Served on your choice of bread (but you should really try the rye), with your choice of mustard. You can ask for mayo but you may not get it.

$27.11

Corned Beef Sandwich

We’ve bought our CB from Vienna Beef, Chicago since the 1930’s. It’s because we use the best cuts of beef that it has such incredible flavor. We slow-cook it in-house with our century old family recipe. Piled high on our mouthwatering rye, Swiss with mustard, it is our number one pick!

$26.59

Brisket Sandwich

The best of the best cuts of beef. Freshly cooked daily, our lean beef brisket is thinly sliced and piled high on your choice of bread. Try it with Swiss, lettuce, tomato and horseradish sauce.

$26.59

Corned Beef + Pastrami

$28.28

Rare Roast Beef Sandwich

Another fabulous sandwich in the best of the best beef category. Our rare roast beef is cooked to a beautiful pink tenderness for a moist treat on any bread. Top it off with your choice of cheese, lettuce, tomato or an onion slice for optional additions. *Please note that this is served cold*. If it were hot, it would no longer be RARE roast beef. For hot roast beef, try our Brisket.

$26.59

Peppered Beef Sandwich

Maybe you saw this on tv. Marc Summer’s favorite sandwich aired on his show, “Best Thing I Ever Ate” (Check us out on YouTube). Our beef round is salted, washed, cured for a few days then peppered, smoked, and dusted with a little sugar and paprika. It’s a slow process but it is definitely worthy of the wait!

$22.82

Corned Beef + Brisket

$26.98

Pastrami + Turkey

$27.11

Salami Sandwich

Custom made for Shapiro’s Delicatessen from the original Wilno recipe. They used to be a Kosher brand of salami and other meats that went the way of the big box buy-out. If you look at our salami label, you’ll see the Shapiro logo.

$11.51

Roasted Turkey Sandwich

Oven roasted turkey breast. This is a very big seller for Shapiro’s! The Shapiro turkey sandwich has its own cult following. Hormone free and antibiotic free, you can taste why it’s a favorite.

$14.82

Smoked Turkey Sandwich

Smoked turkey breast. This is a very big seller for Shapiro’s! The Shapiro turkey sandwich has its own cult following. Hormone free and antibiotic free, you can taste why it’s a favorite.

$14.82

Chopped Liver Sandwich

Two words, chicken schmaltz. We make our own from all of the whole, fresh chickens that we get from Central Indiana and it is a key ingredient in Chopped Liver. You can get a sandwich or a “schmear” of chopped liver on top of another sandwich. My favorite is our rye bread heels, crusty and crunchy with a scoop of our creamy and rich chopped liver.

$11.70

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

P.L.T. Sandwich

Turning our pastrami into “bacon” may have been a mistake one of our customers made by over heating their meat, but it turned into a fantastic new sandwich. Pastrami, Lettuce, (local) Indiana Tomatoes is such a great combination of flavor. You choose the bread.

$13.98

Pure Beef Burger

$8.65

All Beef Frank

This is truly made with no filler* ~ just great beef. Vienna Beef’s all beef frank is served on a poppy seed bun – the way a real Chicago dog should be. *Gluten Free too, except for the bun, of course!

$7.22

1/2 Chicken Salad Sandwich

We actually cook whole fresh, local chickens (never, ever frozen) for our homemade chicken salad, which was named “Best in America” by Gourmet magazine because, frankly, it is. It includes chicken, celery, grapes, walnuts, fancy mayo and our proprietary blend of herbs and seasonings. Try it on our freshly baked sourdough or a flaky croissant.

$7.67

1/2 Albacore Tuna Salad Sandwich

Our all-white-meat Albacore tuna salad is made with quality fish, with just enough hard-boiled egg whites and seasoning to make a statement of its own. Try it on a flaky croissant with lettuce and tomato.

$7.67

Dinner - Corned Beef

Corned beef dinners are piles and piles of Shapiro’s famous corned beef from Vienna Beef in Chicago. We are the only place in Indy to get it, especially with our recipe and style of preparation. We slow-cook it in-house to our own exacting standards from our own 100+-year-old family recipe. It is simply the best of the best. Our entree version gives you a choice of two sides and bread to complete a great meal.

$32.83

Dinner - Stuffed Cabbage

Shapiro’s stuffed cabbage is so delicious you’ll wonder why it’s so much better than any other! We’ll tell you the secret ingredient, besides the best ground beef from Dewig Meats in Indiana, it’s ginger snaps, but we don’t dare tell you the rest. Oh, do I see a raisin?

$20.67

Dinner - Baked Chicken

Our chicken is local and fresh, fresh, fresh – NEVER FROZEN. And no nasties from the start. We bake it to perfection, and each order comes with 1/2 of a chicken. You will definitely need a container to go because you’ll have lunch for tomorrow

$18.27

Dinner - Meatloaf

This is the very first dish that Shapiro’s Delicatessen sold as the grocery store became a restaurant. In 1933 at the end of prohibition, a hot meal had to be sold to sell alcohol. Rebecca Shapiro served her spaghetti recipe as her husband and sons bought the building next door and added tables and chairs.

Shapiro's Gluten Free Bread

As far as we know, we are the only restaurant that doesn’t charge an extra fee when gluten free is your request. The extra expensive rice flour is the reason but Brian Shapiro says it’s wrong to charge someone just because they have an allergy. My celiac friends are so excited to be able to have a corned beef sandwich now!
