D.Z. Akin's Delicatessen is a New York-style Jewish deli and restaurant located in San Diego, California.[1] The restaurant was opened in 1980 by Zvika and Debbie Akin.[2] They are known for their "fresser" sandwich, which comes from the Yiddish for "one who eats," and has 16 slices of pastrami, turkey, corned beef, roast beef, and others with cheese and tomato on rye bread.[3] It serves up to 2-3 people.[4] The restaurant was temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in California to make changes to adapt the areas for hygenic purposes.[5][6] The bakery includes rugelach, strudel, and chocolate eclairs.[7] The restaurant has over 130 sandwiches on the menu, and also has fountain sodas, ice cream sundaes, and malted milkshakes.[8]
