We found out today that Indiana Congressman Andre Carson has a friendly arrangement made with Congressman Steve Scalise from New Orleans for the upcoming game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. Seems if the Saints lose the game, Congressman Carson's Washington D.C. staff will be receiving some alligator sausage and blackened redfish from the Louisiana region. If the Colts lose (I can barely type those words) Congressman Scalise and his D.C. staff will be receiving some famous Reuben sandwiches from Shapiro's Deli and some sweets from Long's Bakery. We are proud that the best kosher style food served in Indianapolis will be enjoyed by folks from New Orleans - if, and that is a HUGE "IF" - the Saints are victorious. I say fat chance. Enjoy your alligator sausage Congressman Carson. When you come home to Indy please stop by Shapiro's for your Reuben! GO COLTS!
There is an award winning article about Shapiro's Delicatessen in the Fall 2009 issue of Traces of indiana and Midwestern History. Written by Douglas Wissing and published by the Indiana Historial Society, this article is entitled "The Shapiro's Story". An excerpt: "Run by Russian immigrantss from Odessa, Louis and Rebecca Shapiro, the store also included some of the couple's eight children, who helped out with customers as the youngest ones were safely ensconced in the apartment above." "Each morning for their customers' sensory delight, the Shapiros scattered aromatic spices on the grocery's wooden floors. 'It smelled so good', ninety eight year old Shapiro daughter Sylvia Gorfain remembered about her childhood in the store. 'People stood in line.'" The entire story is told in a dozen pages with so much detail and depth with insight into the personal stories of the Shapiro family through the generations.
Another fantastic mention was received in the National Geographic Food Journeys of a Lifetime, 500 Extraordinary Places to Eat Around the Globe. This is a beautiful book, as you would expect from National Geographic. In the section titled Top Ten Travelers' Restaurants, Shapiro's Deli is given a nod as one of the places to visit in the Indianapolis International Airport.
Several years ago, USA TODAY named Shapiro's Deli as one of the TOP 10 DELIS IN AMERICA.

Max would come in and bake all of his own items around 3:30 or 4:30am. He would work right there with you and would be here from sunrise to sunset. He took care of all of his employees and would teach you anything you wanted. He was a great person and is truly missed by everyone.
Mort Shapiro
Mort would come in with a cigar and stock market book in his hand. He would sit at the front table, smoke his cigar, and watch all of the employees through the mirrors. He would do anything for his employees. He was definitely a business man. He, too, was a great person and is truly missed by everyone.
Brian Shapiro- Current Owner
Brian is a very giving person. He helps out employees and customers just like they are family. His door is always open. He is very educated, holding multiple degrees. He is very concerned and involved with the youth. He is a great inspiration to all of us.
When you order brisket at Shapiro's you could be ordering corned beef brisket or roast beef brisket. So don't be surprised if you order brisket and we ask you which kind....corned beef or roast beef? Remember, it is just the cut.
