“This is the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had.”
“That’s not a chicken sandwich. That’s all the flavors put together!”
A few comments from our table.
The arancini, a special menu item, were a big hit. We’ll be back.

Do you remember the race for the best spicy chicken sandwich? Well, in my opinion we found the winner. That’s right, in a food truck on the side of an auto mechanic. It has established its roots and Napa should be proud to call it their own.
We ordered the original chicken sandwich and the eggplant sandwich. I was first enticed by the homemade sourdough bun. It wasn’t heavy at all and a HUGE perk to the sandwich. The eggplant was thick and delicious. It had the same toppings (coleslaw, pickles, and spicy sauce) as the chicken sandwich. I LOVED the coleslaw and thought the sandwiches had the perfect amount of heat.
Yes, it was $18 per sandwich which seems steep but you are in Napa so it is par for the course. I would say try it out! It was not heavy nor greasy.

They say the best things in life you don’t have to go searching for – I’ve been on a mission to find the best Chicken Caesar wrap in the bay. However, this was a spot that I stumbled upon on my way in to Napa, and I did not expect it to complete my mission. I thought what I ordered was a simple buffalo chicken wrap. Turns out it was the best Buffalo Chicken Caesar wrap I’ve ever had. No croutons, but the chicken breading is so crispy and crunchy you don’t even need it. The chicken is juicy, the sauces aren’t overpowering and the portion is incredibly generous. I came back twice in one weekend for the wrap. My partner had the chicken sandwich which was also delicious in its own respect. The other menu items looked delicious, but it will be hard for me to move away from this wrap now. call and order ahead if you have somewhere to be, because they can get pretty busy during lunch hours. The wait is so, so worth it.

Best chicken sandwich I’ve had in my life! And everything was amazing! We got the fried pickles, the Philly cheesesteak, arancini, and fries – everything was loaded with flavor! The fry seasoning was custom made and it’s like nothing I’ve ever tasted. The best food truck experience I’ve EVER had! Truly top notch.

oella’s Deli in Napa is one of those hidden gems you almost want to keep a secret, but they deserve way more love! Tucked away and easy to miss unless you’re headed to the nearby dispensaries, this place absolutely delivers on flavor.
I had their chicken sandwich and fried pickles, and let me tell you, the pickles are spears, not chips, which makes them SO much better! Crunchy, tangy, and fried to perfection. I also grabbed their buffalo chicken wrap to save for dinner, and it did not disappoint.
I first saw Joella’s featured by a couple of local chefs on TasteFulli Napa’s posts, and now I totally get the hype. If you’re in the area, skip the usual spots and give this place a try — you’ll be glad you did!

This is Northern California’s best chicken sandwich. The crunch is off the charts! Everything melds together so well! The hot honey and coleslaw is the best you’ll ever have!!! Must go back immediately!

Spending today in Napa, we made an unplanned food stop. One fried chicken / one fried eggplant sandwich later, we understand what all the hype is about … and why they keep winning awards. We love a small, crazy business … and Chef Ian couldn’t have been nicer! Highly recommended for amazing food and lots of smiles.

Delicious food from a former NY & NV chef! How lucky are we here in downtown Napa to have such a fabulous food truck turning out this high quality & creative food . While my husband thoroughly enjoyed his fried chicken sandwich on a perfect handmade bun (awesome sauce too!—yes I got a few bites) I tried some of the most delicious chilled corn soup! And we took some special bread pudding home for dessert.
RUN there asap and you will want to thank me! And of course, thank Ian for all of his talent…simply YUM!
I’m sure his grandma Jo’ella is proudly smiling down on this fellow!
