Any cooked and served hot deli meats are fine. It's just if they are served cold that theres a small risk of listeria.
Also, with my first pg, I asked my ob if I really had to give up salami (I am of German heritage and can't really live without it ). My ob said that hard slamis are fine. I then went to my German butcher and said that I wanted some salami but that I was pg, and he said "oh well, you'll want some really hard salami then!" I had never heard it before, but there you go.
If it puts your mind at rest, my ob said that he's never seen a case of listeriosis the whole time he's been practising and that it's extremely rare. Nevertheless, I find I need to do everything I can to ensure that I don't inadvertantly harm my baby. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with, even if everyone says it's ok, because you will just cause yourself needless owrry and anxiety (better to be safe than sorry!)
