West Lane Pizza & Deli

I had a very upsetting experience today that I’m still upset about hours later. The man at the register (likely the owner) ran over to yell at me (yes, really he yelled) because I used the wrong milk for my coffee. I told him I was sorry - and he berated me and said I have to pay for the milk but then he says ‘next time it happens’ I’d have to pay for it and he kept saying I should have asked him permission. I told him I made a mistake so I would pay for the milk (which I did) but he was so mad. It was a weird reaction and it was an upsetting experience as I felt like a child being berated. To my defense, there was a small cooler next to the coffee station that had just one gallon of whole milk and one quart of half and half in it. This was a different cooler than the one across the store that housed milk and eggs for sale. It was a mistake I think others could make- lots of bodegas keep their coffee milk in little coolers next to the coffee station. Frankly I’m thinking these were coffee milks but ones he uses to ‘refill’ the milks on a different counter that I didn’t see. New to the area, I was happy to try this place for quick coffee and lunch sandwiches but this first impression was a really terrible one.

Not a fan of their breakfast sandwiches. Not a fan of the guy that cooks them either. I said "double egg and cheese" twice because he never acknowledged me even though I was the only one in the store. Then I saw him put 1 egg on the grill. I said "2 eggs" and he huffed and put another egg on, again with no acknowledgement. If you don't like your job, find another one. Sandwich was bland. There are better options on my drive to work. I won't be back.

Not really sure about other food but pizza is not their strongest asset ... the place inside looks neglected and could use a little tlc ... i think they can do a much better job especially with a busy and high traffic location... drove past it many times and finally decided to stop by but wasnt impressed

West Lane Deli, a worn down and lived in deli filled with great atmosphere and people. John, the owner - a extremely friendly and kind man who knows all his regulars by name and probably has hundreds of interesting conversations with customers a day - from each of which he will likely retain a few small details and tidbits of info. The two cooks / workers - two exquisitely hard working men who provide top quality food and service. Despite their lack of any English besides the essentials, they remember many of their regular customers and their favorite meals. And maybe most important, the food - tasty and affordable. Sometimes the owner will even give discounts or free small items to his regulars as a token of appreciation of sorts. Highly recommend making this spot one of your go-to’s if you are a regular visitor or resident of Ridgefield.

Listen, if you love pizza this is the place. There greek pizza is the pinnacle of flavor! I herd they have a new chef which is why the food is now better than 3 years ago. There's not a big selection of snacks though. They do not take cards, only cash. And yes they do have an ATM. Though only use US debit not visa debit on it when taking out cash.
