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!“

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

“The cheese steaks are amazing“

“Ok first off I was born n raised in East Orange so I was familiar with the area and atmosphere. Fast paced..This store is everything. I was greeted and got help ordering by the a very nice female employee. She came from behind the register. Next payment a d waiting for the food... It took a minute but such courtesy 👍🏼. It was a little busy but controlled. Everything looked clean and neat. Now the food was excellent. I ordered a NY chopped cheese with everything and a pastrami and swiss with everything on wheat toast for hubby. Sandwiches were top chef. Very filling. I was so hungry lol forgot to take a pic. Next time and it will definitely be a next time. I suggest pre ordering to save time. But this will be my new sandwich spot 💯💯💯“

“The pastrami is really good“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I can not explain how good the sandwich is that I get. But the service from the staff is next level i travel from Linden to this store. They know me and treat me like family. Always friendly they go the extra mile. Know what I want. I can not express how good this place is. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Worth the trip and the quantity is top notch“

“I was in town on business and haven’t had Blimpie since I was a kid growing up in NJ. This spot didn’t disappoint and itt was like I was a kid again. The staff was Super friendly and polite which is a rarity these days. Sandwich was great“

“Good and fast service good food“

“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 😭“

“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.“

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

“Quick fast and order is correct every time even with phone orders 40.00 to 50.00 for2 whole subs 1 tuna and 1 blt but u won't go hungry it was so big I was full after a half of it everything tasted really fresh. I've come many times here nice polite“

“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 had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a Subway, and it’s entirely thanks to Kumar. From the moment I spoke to him, he greeted me with a genuineness and made me feel welcome. I’m a bit particular about how I like my sandwich made, and instead of rushing me or seeming annoyed, Kumar listened patiently to every single request and made sure he got it exactly right. He even offered a couple of suggestions for combinations I hadn’t thought of, and they turned out to be perfect. The sandwich itself was honestly the best one I’ve had.

Everything was fresh, the toppings were laid out evenly instead of all bunched in the middle, and it was toasted exactly the way I asked. You can tell Kumar actually takes pride in his work rather than just going through the motions. It’s a small thing, but the care he puts into each sandwich makes a real difference, and I noticed he was just as attentive with all the other customers in line. What also stood out was how clean and well-organized everything was behind the counter. Kumar kept the station tidy, changed his gloves without being asked, and handled the whole process with a level of attention to detail you don’t always see.

Even when a small line started forming, he never let the quality slip or seemed flustered, he just kept moving efficiently while still giving each person his full attention. That kind of consistency under pressure says a lot about someone’s work ethic. Kumar is the kind of employee any business would be lucky to have. He was kind, patient, professional, and genuinely friendly the entire time, even though the store was busy. It made my whole day better, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this location because of him. Subway management, please recognize this guy, he’s doing an outstanding job. Thank you, Kumar!“

“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 😉👌“

“Love this place! It's an Edison favorite. I've been coming here for a few years and this place keeps that old school deli spirit alive while incorporating some modern twists.

They serve traditional sandwiches and even have some Indian-infused sandwiches like the Chicken Tikka Cheesesteak, which is an absolute banger! I've referred my friends to this place, one of whom is from PA, and he loves coming here every time he comes to Edison.

Jay, Parth and Raj always provide excellent customer service and treat you like family. You can never go wrong with a sub from Subworks. Make sure you support local businesses. Places like these add some joy to the community.“

“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“

“Love the turkey sandwichs at this place!! Also love the fact that this is one of the only places on the island that has Zabiha Halal turkey sandwich’s and they do not sell alcohol! Great deli for your daily needs!! 10/10 on the food, no notes!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Just as good as a Blimpie...“

“Tony Boys in Montclair has the best sandwich in all of Jersey. I highly recommend the Goldmill — so delicious, and the portions are huge. The owner Mike is one of the best humans you will ever meet. If you’re anywhere near Bloomfield Ave, it’s worth the stop.“

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

“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 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.“

“I tried a hot sub for the first time at Subs & Co and it was mouth watering. The bread was nice and fresh and the cheese pulls did not miss. The staff were really nice and i got my food in less then 10 minutes. I definitely recommend this place and i will be going back there.“

“Some of my visits to the Harbor may last most of a day and it's great to be able to grab something to eat/drink on the grounds. 🙂“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“This is the best sandwich place in Nutley. I highly recommend the hot italian lover. We order/pick up from here frequently- too frequently-and I love it. It's a small shop, the kids there are hardworking and kind. Endless support for this business.“

“Im so happy I chose to go here on a random laundry morning. They make my day every time I go. They have the BEST sandwiches and the BEST brown sugar iced coffee, it's soooooooo good 🤤. The owner is so kind and has great music or movies playing, and the deli is ALWAYS clean. 💚 Beautiful energy to start your day.“

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

“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“

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