50 Best Delis near Derby

“Mattei's Deli and Catering in Derby, CT, provided excellent catering for my son's party. All our guests raved about how great the food was! The setup was flawless, and the entire experience was highly professional. 5/5 stars—I highly recommend them for any event.“

“It's been a challenge connecting with my European heritage as a a 3rd generation American. Being a mix of Italian, Polish, and Ukrainian the Carpathian area has seen so much reorganizing in the last 100 years. I was happy that when I mentioned Galicia to the shop keeper and they recognized the old political entity and it's geography. Sounds like Krakow was the Nexus of the area. Love the Keibasa, perogies, horseradish and baked goods. Proud to be of Polish descent every time I visit.“

“Was driving down the road looking for something to eat, I found Crave Level Deli. I walked in and was immediately welcomed to the store. I looked over the menu and went with what ever they wanted to make me for a sandwich, let me tell you, one of the top sliced beef and cheese along with onion, pepper, & mushroom. I also purchased a bag of caramel kettle corn. I will no doubt be back to try their many other offerings. Oh and the best part for me, an espresso machine. :)“

“The food is incredibly fresh AND delicious...and everybody working there has a smile on their face and is ready to help you if needed. I believe El Sol opened during the pandemic and they've been very successful...I believe that speaks for itself! I live right next door so I'm completely spoiled..🤣“

“Amazing sandwiches & the best staff! My son walked in and saw the Grinch on the wall & he immediately got so excited. The wonderful staff drew a big Grinch on the bag for him. Thank you so much! You made his day 💚“

“Recommended from my coworkers and yea now I Highly recommend there breakfast sandwiches.“

“great food, fair prices, and super friendly staff.“

“Anything & everything Amazing!!!! Soft spot for their Sicilian ❤️“

“I lived in this area in 2009 and discovered this little gem. I moved back to my home state of Michigan in 2010 but still have my whole family in West Haven, so I still come to town every 3-4 years to visit, and when I do? You best believe i am making a pit stop in here for a pastrami sub. 😋 This is 100% the best deli i have ever been to. The man and woman running it are the sweetest people, they always remember us when I mention we are from Michigan, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steak subs? Delicious. The Italian combo? Large and full of flavor and toppings. However, the pastrami will always have my heart. No where even back in Michigan compares. 100/10. Go support this business. You and your taste buds won't regret it.“

“Randomly stumbled upon Gaetanos in Westport yesterday when looking for a place to get sandwiches before my son’s baseball game. Having grown up in Belmont Little Italy for the first 22 years of my life I was skeptical about the “Arthur Ave style..” claim on the sign. Well I can tell you they delivered and then some! Was warmly greeted, handled samples of delicious cheeses and more. They were too skeptical when I said I grew up on Arthur Ave but once we started chatting they knew I wasn’t BSing. Saw familiar faces and reminisced about life on Arthur Ave. The owners are warm and kind - the real deal keeping it true to the Arthur Ave spirit. Dare I say they might even do it better!! I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. If I ever find myself in Westport again I will certainly make a visit! Aside from my son’s team’s win, this nostalgic experience truly made my day and made me feel like I was back home in the Bronx when life was more simple. And yes, everything we ordered and sampled was delicious! No skin on the eggplant and bread from Addeo - doesn’t get any better!“

“I came in for the first time not sure what to expect, I didn't bring much with me and unfortunately this time I didn't leave a tip because of that. Had I known the quality was this good I would have definitely made sure to bring extra. The price is a little hi but you are honestly getting a great meal and portion“

“Delicious food! Highly recommended“

“We do work all over and try many different places for lunch Home Plate is the best place for a sandwich hands down!!“

“Loved the stuffed cabbage, pierogies, potato pancakes and kielbasa! Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely awesome Polish store with ALL the goodies you cen imagine. Come and taste their delicious meats, cheeses, kielbasas and you will be hooked for life!!! :) :)“

“We got sandwiches today from Seeley’s. I have to say, they were two of the BEST sandwiches we have ever eaten. It was our first time ordering there…..it will become a regular stop from now on!“

“Very delicious food. I love the sandwich specials and potato cakes. The cole slaw and pickles top it off. And the deserts are delicious.“

“So I typically have a great sandwich here, but the other day I placed an order over the phone for my grandfather’s birthday, and when I showed up too early to pick up the order I thought I heard they didn’t have one type of meats for the ‘Sweet Italian Combo’ (of course my grandfather’s sandwich, out of all of them ordered). I thought nothing of it as nobody said a word to me from behind the counter. Grabbed the orders and paid, get home and it was a grilled chicken sandwich with ham (random combination) BUT was labeled as the Sweet Italian. It all made sense now, and I was not mistaken from what I heard. The Provy Brother’s would of never of pulled that ‘stunt’ and would have been transparent that they did not have the available meat(s) for the sandwich instead of making whatever they decided AND labelling it as the requested sandwich when it was not. Yes, the sandwich was still good, but imagine my grandfather’s surprise on his 86th birthday that his favorite sandwich he ordered from his favorite sandwich shop was not what he ordered or wanted on his special day. Please don’t EVER do that again to anyone. That was messed up and you all know what you did. And yes, we will give you all another chance as your sandwiches are always great. Just please be honest to your loyal customers.“

“I've been getting food here since I was old enough to get behind a wheel! What a hidden gem. Not hidden, per se, but certainly easy to drive past and not notice. Breakfast sandwiches are second to none. Lunch has never disappointed. Love this place!!!“

“The food is excellent, especially for the prices. The ability to order online is also super convenient, as it's probably about a 15 minute drive from my office and by the time I get there, my food is always ready for me to pick up and go. People behind the counter are very friendly and nice, I literally recommend this place to my friends and coworkers all the time, I'm here probably every other day.

If you ever see the Southern Pride chicken sandwich come up in their weekly specials, I cannot recommend it enough!“

“high quality, great variety, generous portions, great prices!“

“sooo good, went back two days in a roll.

The potatoes were perfectly seasoned and tender, toast was buttery and soft, and the omelette as you can tell from the video was very packed with meat and pepper.

All for under $12 - will definitely be back again“

“Love this place and stop in almost daily for a quick sandwich and drink. Rocky is awesome and always does your food up quick! Great for those of us on the run but want something MORE then mcdonalds. He offers some Asian stuff (egg rolls, soup, wontons) plus all kinds of sandwiches.“

“Well I never been inside but the bacon and egg sandwich with home fries went down didn't they“

“Toda la comida super rica me encanto el lugar y muy buena atención al cliente 🙏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fantastic breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and the daily specials are great. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely my go-to spot for lunch. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already.“

“The atmosphere is amazing Portuges American culture at it’s best. Their rolls are sold state wide in grocery stores. Time makes a ? world of difference purchasing rolls the same day out the oven priceless. Bola de Rey dates back to early 1800 also known as kings bread. Bucket list.“

“The most delicious chicken sandwich with Ish sauce 🤤“

“Good place to go for breakfast“

“The best!! If you haven’t gone what are you waiting for?? RUNNN!! Everything is delicious!!👌🏼“

“I’m an extremely picky eater and I highly recommend foodex deli. Not only are there sooo many drinks and snacks to choose from but the food is always delicious, and they listen to special requests. They also have beef and turkey bacon which is very important for me. 10/10!“

“Fresh Polish cold cuts. Polish breads - not everyone knows - are without chemicals and made with 5 ingredients only!!!! Flour, salt, water, yeast, sugar. Besides that, spices in best prices, many in ecological grade, fantastic Polish mineral waters from springs and containing minerals essential to human health. Once you start drinking them, you are not going to drink fake Gatorade drinks that are not only filled with harmful colorants but also contain sugar.“

“This place got me through my high school years over 15 years ago. I've only been able to come back a couple times since moving away but still the best breakfast sandwich ever. Do you still have the bacon bomb? Egg, bacon, cheese, perfect potatoes, on a hard roll“

“AMAZING! A.S is amazing. Their staff is so patient and helpful. The quality of the food and cleanliness of the location is near perfect. We usually travel to Norwalk, but thankful they opened a location near Shelton/Monroe. We went before Christmas Eve and it made our holiday feel “normal”.“

“I just did a grubhub pickup of a cheeseburger and chicken tenders with fries. Best tenders I have ever had. Burger was great too. Very pleasant atmosphere when walking in. Highly recommended.“

“I love this place. They make the best grinders in my opinion, anywhere! They never disappoint and their food is phenomenal. I order from here at least 2-3 times a week. They’re that great!!“

“Whoever talks trash about the workers is a trash themselves. These guys are amazing and very fast with orders. Sincerely some of us as customers can be frustrating while these hardworking guys are trying to serve us right. I’d say you should come at night esp the 2 black guys at night. The grilled chicken was worth Dieing for.“

“Can’t believe we’ve driven by this spot so many times and only just discovered it! This deli made for a quick brunch when we needed a break from putting up our Christmas decorations. Fresh pastries, prepared foods, and locally sourced bagels. They didn’t skimp on our Italian combo either! The staff prepared our order quickly, and the space was clean. A great spot to know about!“

“Love Darcy! She's the BEST!❤“

“Toda la comida super rica me encanto el lugar y muy buena atención al cliente 🙏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We love big daddy's food in my house and all my friends love the food too! They cook all their food with such love and you will definitely taste it. They are way better than ANY fast food spot (or Tomlinsons at that, who can't even cook your egg straight through for goodness sakes)!Cooked fresh, made to order, every time. A hidden little Gem in Bridgeport for real!“
