Mountain Xpress is the bearer of the sad news for fans of chopped liver, boiled bagels and egg salad on pretzel bread: Viva Deli, the fine West Asheville deli across from Sunny Point, has closed.
From Xpress:
It’s probably not a good sign for an establishment when its Haywood Road marquee — which typically shouts out daily specials and funny sayings — says that one of the co-owners is an “A-Hole.”
That sign was up all day on Thursday and was taken down in the afternoon. A picture appeared on the West Asheville Facebook page.
Indeed, the deli has closed at that location for good, reports co-owner Glenn Goldberg. He and Peter Callahan owned the business, which opened at 625 Haywood Road in January of last year. Goldberg had previously operated the popular Viva Europa in Montford.

I hope Glen gets it back open. My sandwich last week rivaled the ones from the 28806 Deli, which is the highest compliment I can give.
Someone posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page that it would not open again in any location. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=356338957776839&id=111818505562220
Nooo! This was my weekly bagel-run spot. The sandwiches were incredible, as well. Sad news.
Very very sad. This was one of my favorite places to have lunch!
I always had to do a double take at their sign that said “FREE WIFI”.. For some reason it appeared at a glance to read “FREE WIFE.”
Very sad. Where do I go for Matzo now?
