40 Best Delis near Malden

“Was greeted promptly and in a friendly manner as soon as I walked in the door. Pamela was so helpful and SO accommodating. Had a hot italian sausage sub with peppers and onions and the flavor was to die for and I will definitely go back. The bread was from the bakery next door - Piantadosi's and was fresh as can be. That is the bread we buy at home as well. Nice butchery shop was plenty to choose from.“

“Was just here for lunch again delicious as always but as important in a time when a lot of sub shops are inventing shortages and there costs rising to steal from there customers subs going for 17-18$ that we’re always 10-11$ before dishonest sub shops took advantage of the pandemic to steal the Big A still has delicious food at great prices no theft from Nick he’s an honest broker as always I’ve been coming here 47 yrs maybe 🤔 ya 47 and Nick has always been dedicated to good food at honest prices and the community I grew up one street over he’s never changed the product hasn’t changed heck the prices have hardly changed I think when I was 7 we payed 5.25$ fir an Italian sub now 37-38 yrs later it’s 9$ 🤷🏻‍♂️it’s so nice to deal with an honest man and a consistent product thanks again Nick my chicken parm Was amazing as usual and I can still pay my rent lol“

“Got lunch here yesterday for the first time. The man who took our order was extremely kind and flexible about our questions. The food came out promptly and was delicious especially for the price. Excellent experience, was previously unaware this place existed but I will definitely be eating here again!“

“Get a yahoo, thank me later“

“Best people and best food around! Love them for breakfast AND lunch. Always the friendliest guys in there. Counter service style deli. Portions are HUGE, so come hungry. One of our party ordered the Animal burger and this thing was a BEAST. Felt like I was watching a real life version of Man vs. Food. Greek salad also rocked.“

“I had an Italian sub from Carmella's last night. It was the best Italian sub I have ever had. Amazing. The Capo Regime.“

“For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.

P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.“

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST SANDWICHES WE HAVE EVER HAD 🤌🏼“

“It’s soup weather & Dag’s has the most wonderful chicken noodle soup!!“

“Great quality! Always a wide variety available. I usually leave with subs, chicken cutlets for the kids, cold cuts for the week, and a treat! Great platters for events too!“

“Highly recommend Professor’s catering! Decided to have them make the food for a post wedding brunch I co-hosted in April. Best decision ever! Guests raved about the food! Then in June, I needed a last minute gluten free entree, and the team put together a beautifully garnished pan of gluten free roasted chicken that was delicious. Love their grab and go prepared foods case, too! 10 out of 10!“

“I love the food and my friends there there the best option if your in Eastie that’s for sure“

“Best Italian’s in all of New England“

“Clean, bright , sunny shop. Polite , efficient staff.Wide variety of snacks (jerky to baklava)Small amount of odd stuff (tiny bottles of herbal tonic ).Standard cold beef, tuna, chicken turkey sandwiches with maybe a veggie option.No ham, but no halal or kosher marks“

“March 8th we had a retirement party catered from Stevie and gang at Sammys. Cold Cut Platter Assorted Calzone Chicken Boccoli and Ziti Sausage Potato Pepper and Onion Garden salad and dressing. Delivered to Saugus!!! Hot. Fresh. On time. Cost effective. Tasty!!!! Plentiful, we ran out of nothing with 50 adults, mostly men. 5 star job. ☆☆☆☆☆ Will use for the next gathering as well. Thanks All, Steve Passariello“

“Milano’s catered our work function and was so easy to work with. The food was incredible and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.“

“Delicious sandwiches at reasonable prices. We got the pastrami sandwich and a bacon egg and cheese and both sandwiches were fantastic and generously portioned. My husband said his pastrami was so good that it's going to make the rent go up. Highly recommend, we definitely will be returning.“

“My opinion is 9.6/10. Came here because of man vs food did the 2 lbs burger. This place till this day has the juiciest burger meat I ever had was literally dripping down my arm, but not only juicy flavorful and highly enjoyable. I don't like Boston, as a NYer but this place is the only reason I would ever go back. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Have been here a few times for lunch and I see why it is a staple in South Boston.

I'm a sucker for chicken cutlets so my two experiences and now go-tos for sandwiches were the Mamma Mia and Chicken Americano. The bread was so soft and fresh. Same goes for the chicken cutlets. Additionally they were thin, but hearty, crispy, yet juicy. Not only was the sandwich delicious, but was it filling. I am not a small guy and I had to wrap the second half of the sandwich up for later. This doubles the value as each sandwich is about $12, making it $6/meal if you split it in half, which will be a necessity if you add some chips and a beverage.

One small negative is their pizza. Being me, I have try a cheese slice wherever I see one available. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either, however, it's clear to me that you don't come to J Pace's for pizza.

If you're visiting Boston or live in and around Southie you got to stop by for a sandwich or maybe two. I'll be back soon and often!“

“Love the food, always fresh. Also absolutely adore the staff!! 🍔🍟🥪 🤩“

“Absolutely phenomenal spot! Max's is the real deal – an authentic, friendly deli with fantastic food at prices you just can't beat in Boston. The staff are brilliant and make you feel right at home. Whether it's a hearty breakfast or a classic, piled-high deli sandwich for lunch, they nail it every time. If you're looking for a genuine deli experience without the frills, just great food and great service, this is your place. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Stopped in today, this was my second time shopping. Got 10lbs fresh kielbasa and lots of other goodies. Very helpful and pleasant staff. I’m not Polish, but my husband and kids are, so I cook the traditional Polish food. I will definitely keep coming back, so hard to find good authentic Polish food!!“

“Exceptional breakfast near South Station. Highly recommended“

“I called last minute due to a family death. I needed multiple food platters and D'Agostino was all too happy to help out even with such short notice. I called at 9 AM and the food was ready for pick up at 11:30. It was all delicious and nicely presented. Thank you, D'Agostino's in Winchester for coming to the rescue!“

“Breakfast is a must have!“

“I tried this place yesterday for the first time and I am so impressed! So far I’ve had the tabbouleh, the Israeli salad, baked fish with veggies, challah and chocolate babka and they were all so, go good! I still have frozen soups and a mushroom pot pie to try and can’t wait to eat my way through them this week for lunch. The fish was so good I can hardly believe it was frozen. My daughter kept asking for bites so I will be sure to buy multiple next time. I’ve been meaning to try this place and wish I’d gotten here sooner. They are gluten and dairy free and mostly meat free as well. A lot of their ingredients are organic and they use quality oil. They were telling me while I was there that they grind some of their flours in house. You can taste the quality! It’s so nice to have a safe, healthy and DELICIOUS option for take out! This place is worth the trip and I will absolutely be back. 😊“

“Great locally owned spot for breakfast. The food was fast and fresh! And a great value! I had the 3 cheese omelet with breakfast potatoes, they were skin-on reds! My young daughter (9) had the English muffin egg and bacon —she wholeheartedly agreed. Beats the socks off the chain places nearby with preprepped frozen foods being made by people who don’t care.“

“Awesome! Having a Del’s lemonade push cart from you was easy, fun, and memorable. Thank you again.“

“Wow! I ordered a few things from The Real Deal in JP Yesterday. EVERYTHING I ordered was Absolutely Delicious! The Patty Melt was one of the best things I have ever tasted! The ”Godfather” I took for lunch today at work. Delicious! The combo of flavors was just perfect. They certainly know how to cook at this place! Wow! The Real Deal will be my new go-to place for take out!“

“(Translated by Google) I was very happy to find several Brazilian products, the sausage (sausage) equal to the Brazilian one. Congratulations on the service, I also liked the price of many products and keep it up. Five star because I can't give more.(Original)Fiquei muito feliz de encontrar vários produtos brasileiros, o salsichao ( linguiça ) igual ao brasileiro. Parabéns pelo atendimento, gostei também do preço de muitos produtos e continuem assim. Cinco estrela porque não posso dar mais.“

“No mind blowing “vibes” but food and quickness of it being ready are 100. Cash only. Went to Mike and Patty’s in high rise and they had no bacon so we left and found this place. 2 egg, toast, homefries and bacon with coffee for two was $20. Total. Hells yeah and ready by the time the change hit my hand.“

“Ham. Ham, Ham... expensive but worth the price!!“

“Best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. Many times, people have tried to convince me on the merits of a pastrami sandwich. I had always left disappointed whenever I order pastrami...until I tried this place. Nestled in the corner of the Boston Public Market, it is worth making the trek here.“

“Tem tudo que você precisa e muito mais! Além de apoiar projetos sociais aqui e no Brasil, parabéns!!!“

“Letterie is a literally the best food I had in Boston consider its remarkable price. Customer service is really great. Jim has a big heart and really does his best to keep the place as clean as possible. Figgles worth is legit and delicious. Definitely come back for it next time!!!“

“Parking: Great place to grab a healthy meal to go or to enjoy while you do some people watching on Centre Street. My favorite is the Thanksgiving Day Sub, delicious every time. They have all the things you would expect at a convenience store with lots of Irish specials food too. There is a guy named Ahmad there, and he is incredibly kind. Stop in, grab a snack and tell him Alice said hello.“

“Best fresh sandwich’s authentic Italian! Hands down!“
