Nicholas Boulieris, one of Mutual Street Deli’s co-owners, confirmed the restaurant had closed, but remained tight-lipped about exactly why — or whether it will reopen in future. Mutual Street Deli, which has served up hearty, cheap eats since 1957, shut down shortly before Christmas. Two staples in the downtown core — Mutual Street Deli and Caplansky’s College Street Deli — have closed their doors after years of selling smoked meats and cheeses to Torontonians. Zane Caplansky, owner of Caplansky’s College Street Deli, also announced the closure of his first deli operation. He blamed a dispute with the College St. location’s landlord over repairs in 2016 that saw him close for a week.
