"I pity the fool who orders pastrami anywhere else!"

It was great to see Mr. T who stopped by Langer’s today. Some days you make a #19. Some days you make a #19 for Mr. T.

Norm Langer never tires of meeting and talking with all of you: new friends and old, from near and far, ages 1 to 92. Every visit, every handshake, and every story shared over a pastrami sandwich make this place special. Hope to see you soon! 🥪

The nation’s best pastrami? We’ll let the L.A. Times answer that one.

We’re honored to receive this year’s L.A. Times Gold Award. Thank you to .ochoa and everyone at for the recognition, and for decades of support, including the late, great Jonathan Gold.
Since Al and Jean Langer opened our doors at 7th & Alvarado in 1947, we have done things the slow way. That means pastrami steamed for hours until it’s fork-tender, rye rebaked and sliced hot, and every sandwich hand-cut at the counter. This award belongs to our whole crew, who have served Southern California for 79 years. Most of all, thank you to our customers, because you are the reason we have stayed open so long.
— Norm & Jeannette Langer

To all the Dodger fans who stopped by Langer’s before heading to the ballpark this season: thank you! 💙⚾️

Thursday marked the Dodgers’ final home game of the regular season, and we’ve loved seeing so many of you come through our doors in Dodger blue before making your way to Chavez Ravine.

A great sandwich, a little LA baseball, and a city coming together for its team. It doesn’t get much more Los Angeles than that.

But we’re not done yet.

October baseball is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to see you back at Langer’s before the playoff games. Stop by, grab your #19, and fuel up before heading to the stadium.

Thanks for making us part of your game day tradition.

Let’s go Dodgers! 💙⚾️

Of course, we're known around the world for our #19 — pastrami piled high on our famous double-baked rye bread, topped with coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. But our menu is full of engaging, delicious adventures, like our pastrami French dip on a French roll.

Thanks to the Los Angeles Times, which pulled back the curtain and spotlighted this treasure. “The mountain of pastrami in the middle is seven-slices high. It's arranged in such a way that the meat covers every inch of bread, then just barely hangs over the edge in enticing fragments you can pluck out whenever the fancy strikes,” wrote Harris under a headline that called it the best pastrami dip sandwich in the city.

Thank you, Jenn and all our friends at the LA Times. Read the full story https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-05-12/langers-pastrami-dip-hat-johnnies-coles-philippe-column

Some news worth celebrating reopens September 15th at 7th Ave and 54th St, in the old Stage Deli space. Sarri Harper is the one bringing it back (third generation) following in the footsteps of her grandfather Milton Parker, who first bought the deli in 1976.

New Yorkers have broken bread with Carnegie for decades and we couldn’t be happier to see the lights back on. For those in , go down there, order the pastrami, and tell them Langer's Deli sent you. Mazel Tov! 🥪

Hot pastrami. Hot day in Southern California. The #19 doesn't care what the weather's doing; it is always the right call.

Finish it off with a scoop of Thrifty Ice Cream, the LA classic since 1940.
