Sandwich Shops near Hillside

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“

“At the first moment you arrive in this restaurant the stuff gives you a nice feeling. Very courteous stuff, it is a nice place to enjoy with friends and colleagues or with your date. delightful cuisine, talented chef, reasonable cost and professional service. Highly recommended.“

“Stopped in Saturday for the first time. We had to incredibly good subs and Potato salad. The owner is very nice, the place is immaculate and we will definitely be back!“

“Subway, Is truly the best place to come in and gets a snack or sandwich. I love it and the Service is even better I would definitely recommend coming here and get yourself something to eat come stop by and get yourself something yummy to fill your stomach“

“The pastrami is really good“

“OMG! I enjoyed such a fresh sandwich! So excited this sandwich cafe has been created in my area!“

“The cheese steaks are amazing“

“I’ve been here several times. Each visit did not disappoint. I’ve ordered soup and sandwich each time. Each time I ordered a different sandwich. All of them were quite tasty. It’s always the same nice lady working here by herself. I definitely recommend if you’re out for a quick lunch.“

“Good and fast service good food“

“Truly the best Eggplant sandwich I have ever had. SO tasty and SO filling.“

“the food was amazing as always but the cashier kept loudly talking about how his job is boring, that there’s nobody to serve and i know how annoying food service is from experience but it made me uncomfortable to hear him complaining so vocally about it while serving us, like at least wait till we’re gone dude 😭“

“Just as good as a Blimpie...“

“great subs and the macaroni is delicious. 5 stars all day“

“Super service and delicious food. We are lucky to have you in our neighborhood and Westfield! The picnic tables are even better especially when the weather is so nice. Gracias! 5 stars!“

“Excellent sub being the best prices in the area.“

“Good Luck Harry! Store is bright & clean. Harry is a real nice guy. Very respectful, & down right honest. He takes pride in his business!“

“I called my order of loaded fries no chipotle mayo. Came in paid and left. I got to my destination ready to eat and there’s chipotle mayo all over. I went back and spoke to the young lady at the counter with the cooper hair. I told her I wanted a refund because I called in my order and it was wrong she did offer to make me another but I refused due to the fact that if my order was messed up to begin with instead of letting me leave with it, the young man and young lady with the braids knew it was wrong but still bagged it as if everything was correct. They didn’t even offer an apology for their mistakes. I understand that mistakes happen but it should’ve been corrected before I even got there. Time and gas wasted because of laziness.

Update. I would like to make an update to my pervious review. First I would like to say the manager Alejandro is the only reason I’m updating my review. He was very attentive with resolving the issue and making sure I had a better experience than better. His attentiveness and care for the customer is something that isn’t found with a lot of businesses. His customer service was excellent.“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

“normally don’t write reviews for chain restaurants, but this subway in particular stands out because of the customer service they provide one employee stands out always he’s so friendly and even if im not in subway he makes it a point to say hi - so shout out to you niro“

“I`ve tasted in a couple years ago, and I just can say that is the most delicious sandwich in NJ 😉👌“

“Fantastic little spot with amazing food. It's a great foodie spot, and who doesn't love a tasty grilled cheese! Very plentiful with vegetarian options. It's a very small spot in a parking lot next to a park with trails and a small pond. Gentlemen, listen up. On a nIce day, this is a perfect spot to bring your partner for a date. You'll thank me later 😉

Kid-friendliness: Park right next doot“

“Subs are delicious, bread is always fresh and meats cut to order, roast beef, turkey and the Italian are favorites. Great options like Beeferella, the Eggplant and chicken Tikka cheesesteak were tasty too. Peter and his staff provide excellent service! Highly recommend“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

“5 stars for the two 3-foot sandwiches: chicken parm and corned beef ; the Cole Slaw; and roasted vegetable Hero we ordered for March 5th Saint Patrick’s Parade Party we threw. Everyone asked where we got the sandwiches. Only crumbs were left on the platters at the end of the day.“

“It had been a little bit since we've been in (life gets in the way sometimes) but as soon as my husband & I walked in the door we were hit with that heavenly Blimpies scent of fresh ingredients that is indicative of Blimpies & Blimpies alone. It just smells like delicious subs. We realized, after speaking to the wonderful owner, that we've been getting the BEST subs in the world at this location for over 40 years! My pick is a "Blimpies Best" (extra oil & vinegar) honestly it was perfect. My husband gets a turkey & provolone which was terrific (he gave me puppy dog eyes & got a huge chunk of mine too)
Eateries come & go but the best stay, this is worthy of place in your rotation.
I should also say that I live in Nutley with quite a few Italian delis & pizzerias so if I'm saying the Italian sub (Blimpies Best) is terrific that's saying a lot.“

“I love this place because every one is so welcoming. One thing though they need to better season their cutlet and maybe make them a bit thinner so they don’t dry out. They’re a bit thick and flavorless. The steak sandwich I had I really liked though“

“10/10! Found this gem on DoorDash. The Fries are crispy and shoe string like love! The Mac salad is too fire it’s absolutely delicious. And my sub (I’m a plain Jane girly) just good old ham, cheese, s&p, mayo, o&v just how I like it definitely will be ordering from here again. Next on my list is the cheesesteak“

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and let you know how wonderful everything was. We had 60 people at our senior gathering here in Brick, New Jersey, and the compliments kept coming all day—especially about the corned beef, cabbage and the soda bread. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we had more than enough food for all our guests. We truly appreciate your attention to detail and for checking in with us. It meant a lot. We spend quite a bit of time in Staten Island visiting our grandchildren, and you came highly recommended to us—but I can honestly say this was the best recommendation we’ve ever received. Worth the trip !! Coming from a family of butchers and caterers, that’s a very big compliment! Thank you again. We will absolutely be using you for future events. Warm regards, Anthony“

“First-time buyer here! My husband visited the store for takeout, and we ordered the Turkey, Ham, and Cheese with LTM, salt, and pepper. Let me just say—wow! The sandwiches are packed with meat. At other sandwich shops, we usually buy a whole sandwich and split it into two meals each. Here, we’ll easily get four meals because of the generous size. We love a good deli sandwich every now and then, and until now, we hadn’t found one where the quality truly matches the price. We’ll definitely be back and will recommend this place to friends!“

“I purchased their sandwiches frequently for lunch and when I was having a small birthday celebration, I decided to order platters of subs from them. Everything was just as I ordered it. Everything was fresh very nicely presented on the platters, and there was little to know up charge for the service of making platters.. Would definitely do that again.“

“Tony Boys has amazing sandwiches but also generous and kind owners who give back to the community and schools. Their salads are good too but their hot sandwiches are phenomenal!“

“Their tuna salad is excellent. Best Tuna Melt around.“

“One of my favorite places to order better than Blimpie sandwiches, Roberto’s, nice and clean. The owner is the worker and the greatest sandwich maker ever I don’t say this about most places but if you’re looking for a great and tasty sandwich, this is the place to go.“

“This was a go to place for me when I worked in the area. The MTB and the Jeter are delicious and the salads are great too. Charles is very organized and makes great food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite.“

“very polite good customer service and The Sloppy Sub was awesome definitely a spot i will be coming back 🥪“

“It's always a pleasure to come here & grab some delicious food. They are very friendly & have a great selection of smoothies, sandwiches, breakfast & lunch options. I usually spend roughly $10-$20 bucks at a time, depending on what I'm in the mood to munch down on. That lemon chicken is 🔥 & the chicken tenders are crispy & plump. You'll find me coming through at least once a week. :D“

“Jersey Mike’s is a must. Very fresh.“

“Who’s ever idea It was to hire a bunch of Spanish ladies ready to work deserves a raise. I’ve been to this location more than once and everytime I go it’s always clean the ladies are very professional and attentive.
Constantly move around working. Sandwiches are good as well.“

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“By FAR the best place to get a sub. Freshly sliced cold cuts, awesome service, and one of the friendliest places around !!“

“First time here and new to the area. I had no wait time. Smoke turkey and provolone sub was perfection. Soft fresh roll and all the veggies and meat was freshly sliced. I asked for specific items and they made it exactly like I asked.

Now the guy working that day can use some people skills (greet people, smile, saying thank you) but he did make an amazing hoagie. Someone just please tell him it’s ok to smile at paying customers 😁

The establishment has street parking, wide sidewalks and easy to see awning. Inside needs some cleaning, paint and new tiles. Nothing much to look more welcoming but the food is amazing, still.

No inside dining or bathroom. Some seats while you wait.

I also love the clear glass to see your sandwich being made. That’s so classic!

Will be back because summer is definitely for nice chilled subs.

They have hot food too!“

“I went to Just Subs to place an order for a gathering involving a large number of people. I had reviewed the menu and had come up with a figure of $300.00, which by my calculations would provide enough subs, salads and sides for all involved. Probably with some left over. Joe the owner and his employee Desire questioned me about the number of people I wished to serve, and at that point told me that I was ordering too much food! Upon Joe's advice, I ordered a menu which came to a final total of $215.00! Everything was delicious, and there was some left over, just as Joe supposed there would be. It was a nice, professional gesture on his part, and a good way to treat a customer.“

“Great experience, service“

“I had a honey turkey with yellow cheese mayo on both sides n everything on it seasonings included just forgot to add onions but not too much (next time ;-) oh yes and oil and vinegar on the side ...also do not forget the onion and garlic Wise chips 😋, let me not forget to shout out the JOE TEA (they have all flavors btw) on the side, and let me tell you I have to say the best sandwich I have had in a while and very tasty for sure!“

“Exxxcellent food, including ample portion size, all for very reasonable cost!“

“Not up to Jersey Mike’s standards. Did not have chicken salad, got tuna sub that was poorly made. Over stuffed with tuna, mushy bread. Only ate half.

Update March 2026: Been back 3 times since bad experience. They must have had a bad day then. Each time now food is good, well prepared, and staff is friendly and efficient. Thank you 🙏 for improvements!“

“5 STARS First time there . Ate half of a half & very large portions Tuna w/Swiss let tom, onions peppers oil & vinegar. Best in a long time. Very friendly staff & place very clean. Would deffinitly recommend.Jersey Mikes. I think they also deliver!“

“BEST FOOD AROUND! A++++++“
