Missoula’s Iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll Deli Gets National Recognition

If you live anywhere near Missoula, you know that a stop at Tagliare Delicatessen is more than just a lunch; it’s practically a visit to a local landmark. Now, the rest of the country is slowly putting it together because Yelp recently placed it on the list of best sandwich shops in the nation.

For those who haven't experienced the magic, Tagliare doesn’t simply make sandwiches, they make sandwiches worthy of the title "Best Sandwich in America." Each sandwich is named after a legendary rock band, so ordering seems less like deciding on lunch and more like choosing your favorite playlist. Want something new and old-school? Go for the Beach Boy. Looking for something slightly more heavy metal? The Megadeth is like a mosh pit in your mouth.

But it’s not only the rock-inspired names that make this spot a must-visit. The real magic is in what they are using to make each sandwich. Freshly baked bread, high-quality meats and cheeses, and flavor combinations that just hit different.

Tagliare has been a locals’ obsession for years, and now that the secret’s out. Don’t be surprised if the line gets a bit longer. So if you haven’t been there in a while, consider this your sign to drop in, get a killer sandwich, and enjoy a little rock ‘n’ roll with your lunch.

(NOTE: As a GIANT fan of this place, I can recommend my top 3 sandwiches. The Megadeth, Zepplin and Nirvana. Also, if you find some of their shredded "pizza cheese" grab it. It is the best smoked cheese.)
