14 Best Delis in New Haven

“Stopped here on our way to Boston. Great variety of food options. We got the Chicken sandwich; ingredients are super fresh. The fruit salad is so refreshing! The Mofongo was also a winner. And don’t pass on the empanadas ??. Staff are super friendly. Definitely worth coming back for!“

“The sandwiches were excellent, and it's clearly very popular. On a warm fall day the outside tables were very pleasant. The downside was that the preparation was extremely slow - we didn't time it, but it took a good fifteen minutes from order to eating.“

“My boss bought me a blt-tuna sandwich for lunch and I really enjoyed the entire sandwich. The roll and bacon has a great taste and texture and the tuna tastes fresh and just plain yummy. Oh, and the owner, Cody is very kind and welcoming. The only thing I wish is that they could provide healthy selection of snacks and produce. It’s like every other convenience store packed with snacks that are great for the senses but horrible for the body. Providing more fresh produce and healthier pre-packaged snacks for children and adults can help sustain a more balanced energy for the day.. That’s all. But, the food Cody and his chef makes is really good and he seems to have great sense of character, which is soo needed in our society. I will definitely suggest this place for delicious affordable eats. ?“

“I’m not a regular patron of the old B&M deli but I can say I have tasted the old VS new and coming from another town, I am proud to say that the shoes have been filled! The quality and dedication that the new owners bring surpasses any deli nearby.( I can only speak within my parameters) we can all talk about quality meats which many places lack. Even your local markets! but If you’re hungry and want a savory sandwich/burger then this is your place! My fav’s are the Bacon Egg&Cheese And STK & cheese on a hard roll🤗“

“Pastrami & Cheese 11.55$ for the full sub was extremely hot and cheesy, was out in less than 5 mins.

Only thing that caught me off guard is the pastrami is cut small and cubed instead of big slices. It is not as salty, so tasted closer to ham, but still delicious. Will be back to try steak and cheese.“

“They make the best sandwiches and chicken in the Ville and the prices are good Hats off to people choice for not giving a greasy steak sandwich..the owner is always pleasant and knows his customers ........Wonderful.. a great variety of everything“

“Go here everyday. The guys that work there are awesome and helpful. The cooked food is pretty great and reasonably-priced. They have a good selection of snacks and drinks. I don't know what else to say about a convience store, but there's probably a dozen on my daily driving route, and I always hit up Best Deli. No complaints.“

“My children and grandchildren have always gone to this store because they have always showed them ❤️ ..They are now my #1 out of the 2 corner stores on this side.there prices are always the same & they always greet u with a smile and stocked shelves!food is pretty good to..they close later than 8pm is a “

“Love this place! It’s the heart of the neighborhood. Everyone comes here for coffee, snacks, great food, and essentials! The owner is a great guy and everyone he has working there are really down to earth and nice. Out of all the neighborhood bodegas you can choose from in the Hill, I recommend 4 J’s 100%!“

“Great little place to get a hand made fresh sandwich! Really good prices with generous portions. I immediately became a regular! I’ve come here at least once daily for the past week. I’ve gotten breakfast, lunch, and dinner here and have always left very pleased.

It is primarily for to-go orders but there are a few little stools and a counter you can dine at if you like.“

“My first time here today. Chipotle was closed down by the Health Department. Rats I guess according to another customer at the Marketa. The deli was packed with students after high school but the gentleman up front asked me if I wanted deli and he expedited my order. I would recommend doing business here.“
