Kravtiz Deli revives honor roll lineup

YOUNGSTOWN — In celebration of National Sandwich Day, Kravitz Deli will be reviving sandwiches from its illustrious Sandwich Honor Roll next week.

The sandwiches cost $10.99 each.

An old-fashioned authentic deli tradition, the Sandwich Honor Roll was initiated in 2005 by President Jack Kravitz.

“We created the Honor Roll concept as a way to recognize all the people and institutions who not only made an impact on our Valley, but also who were fans of our deli,” said Kravitz in a news release. “This is our way of remembering and saying thanks!”

“We thought a week that honors the sandwich was a perfect time to bring them back,” Kravtiz said.

In addition to specialty sandwiches, Kravitz will feature special pricing with all regular deli sandwiches available piled high. Instead of the $12.99 (6 oz.) price, those sandwiches will cost the same $10.99 as lunch size (4 oz.).

Anyone donating to Trumbull County Animal Welfare League as part of their purchase will be entered into a drawing to win free sandwiches for a year. The drawing will be at 5 p.m. Friday.
