Plosky's Deli
You may have heard it said that the first bite is the best bite. I am, however, here to tell you that each bite of the pastrami on rye at Plosky’s (Jewish) Deli in Carbondale gets better and better with each bite. This simple truth encapsulates what makes Plosky’s Deli special: layers of flavor, passion, and tradition in every sandwich and dish. Since opening in May 2022, Plosky’s has become a beloved destination for offering an authentic deli experience in the heart of the Rockies.
A new addition is a growing lineup of prepared foods offerings, perfect for busy households or those looking for a ready-made, locally made, hearty meal. These dishes are crafted with the same dedication to quality that defines the deli’s sandwiches. Favorites include Lasagna Bolognese and Beef Enchiladas crafted with Potter Farms beef, as well as soups by the quart, like Chicken and Dumplings and Matzo Ball Soup. Small sizes feed 2-3 people, while larger portions cater to families or dinner parties. David Eisenson, Plosky’s founder and owner, opened the deli for one simple reason: to serve exceptional sandwiches.
A huge factor in David Eisenson’s decision to open the deli was wanting access to an excellent Ruben in the Roaring Fork Valley, and now, it is one of the deli’s most popular items. His multi-napkin version features corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing, stacked on perfectly marbled rye. The Pastrami on Rye is another highlight, with thick, tender pastrami paired with Swiss cheese, PSB (Plosky’s Special Blend) mustard, onion, and thick, sweetand-sour pickle chips on marbled rye. Every bite is a balance of smoky, tangy, and savory flavors.
For breakfast, the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bagel is an excellent delivery device for one (or many) of the unique hot sauces the deli has on hand. Start your day with one of Plosky’s fresh bagels, sourced, boiled and seasoned directly from Terrace Bagels in Freehold, New Jersey, and baked fresh every morning. Beyond its iconic sandwiches,
Plosky’s Deli is a treasure trove of pantry staples, lovingly curated by Plosky’s GM Simone Franklin. Stock up on Graza olive oil, Rummo pasta, Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, or small-batch sauces like Heyday’s Kimchi Sesame and Coconut Curry. The pantry also features Plosky’s branded items, pastries, and beverages, including Colorado beers. P
losky’s Deli is a labor of love. From his early days working in finance in Boston to his time studying jazz piano at Berklee, David’s journey brought him to Carbondale, where he honed his culinary craft under renowned mentors Mark Fischer and Lari Goode. With a focus on sourcing local ingredients, David and Simone have created a dining experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation. Enjoy a leisurely meal, grab a bagel and coffee for the road, or fill your freezer with house made dinners.
