Cangiano's is a delightful gem of a find for all things Italian in Jersey City. We found this Deli to be an excellent source for Italian groceries and cooked meals, including sandwiches and pastas. There is an enormous selection of options,and the staff is super nice and friendly. We had the Penne Pasta in Vodka Sauce as well as a Grilled Chicken sandwich and both were excellent. We are excited to come back for more!

I’m big on good quality sandwiches at reasonable prices and this place has become a staple spot! Can’t believe I missed it everytime I drove by. Not only does it have sandwiches, it has authentic goodies from Italy! #14 is amazing!!

The most delicious sandwich I have ever had, and that's coming from a person who generally despises the concept of a sandwich. Growing up, sandwich wasn't considered a proper meal and was only supposed to be eaten in a bind: e.g. a hiking trip or a long train ride. Sandwiches that I have encountered even from reputable sandwich stores and mom and pop joints are usually too bland and too dry. Cangiano's mozzarella sandwich was as mouth-watering, moist and flavorful as can be. Their selection of sheep and goat cheeses is pretty impressive. Keep it up, Cangiano!

I come here for all sorts of things - pastas, salads, sandwiches and more. I love the quality of the food and family vibe. Nothing beats a traditional Italian deli. Make me feel like I’m back home in

The whole staff is so friendly.. and their Greek quinoa salad is amazing.❤️
Tony Soprano-approved ✅ Cangiano’s is a bustling, cozy deli that brings the spirit of New Jersey’s authentic Italian cuisine to life. This isn’t just a sandwich shop—it’s a shrine to premium meats, perfectly crafted Italian sandwiches, and specialty groceries + baked goods.
Woke up this morning and got myself the #17. Filled with gabagool, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and sweet fig jam, the sandwich is packed into soft, fluffy bread and is generously sized to feed two people. At $16 it is extremely reasonable given the portions, quality of ingredients, and joy of the atmosphere. I would definitely try it again with red peppers or add eggplant!
One small tip: there’s no seating area, so plan to grab your goodies to go. That said, I’ll definitely be back to sample their seasonal soups and those cannolis. 🏃♀️

Cangiano's is fantastic! I stopped by before a dinner party to grab some side salads and fresh bread, and everything was a hit. The caponata was especially amazing—it’s not something you can easily find elsewhere. Great quality and flavors all around. I’ll definitely be back!

Great deli! Haven’t had any bad food here yet over the years and they handle the lunch rush well. Always seem very organized and coordinated. There’s a lot to appreciate about this location. The “sandwich of the day” option is always worth checking out too.

First time ordering catering from Cangiano's and it was amazing. Our guests loved the food, and they were so easy to work with. Will definitely be using again for future parties.

I love Cangiano's and have been going for years but the last two sandwiches have been barely edible. The chicken in this chicken parm is so tough I can barely bite through it. Literally throwing half away. I have had some amazing sandwiches but I have to leave a review because of this one.

Cangiano's is an iconic name in gourmet food and Italian specialty foods, and they truly live up to their reputation. From the moment we placed our order, it was clear that this establishment stands head and shoulders above the rest. We are very discerning when it comes to restaurants, especially when it comes to gourmet markets, Italian-American pork stores, and specialty shops—and Cangiano's is, without a doubt, the best of the best.
We ordered delivery, and the sandwiches arrived picture-perfect. One bite, and we were in tastebud bliss! The flavors were absolutely mouthwatering—pure perfection, as expected. Having enjoyed Cangiano's food for decades in Staten Island, we were heartbroken when they closed.
Naturally, we were so very pleased to discover a Cangiano's in Jersey City and run by the same extended family. And as it turns out, they haven't missed a beat—still delivering the same unmatched quality and expertise.
Their sandwiches blow away the competition. After trying three from their extensive and thoughtfully curated menu, I can't imagine going anywhere else for sandwiches or catering. The prices are extremely competitive, especially considering the exceptional quality. Their antipasto platter was a true highlight—stupendous and absolutely scrumptious.
We grew up on Cangiano's, an iconic New York family business that has earned its stellar reputation over the last CENTURY. The lines were often out the door, with people happily waiting for their fresh bread. We've tried countless other stores over the years—unfortunately, many simply don’t know what they’re doing.
Even big names like Whole Foods can't match the quality and authenticity of Cangiano’s. It’s incredible that this skilled family, with generations of experience in the food industry, continues to uphold their legacy of delivering such legendary, top-tier food.
This place is truly a gem, and once you give them a try, it’ll be your new favorite spot. Everything we ordered arrived looking like it was prepared for a photo shoot—it was that perfect. An amazing experience all around.
The staff was helpful, guiding us through our order with ease. It’s a breath of fresh air to deal with such a true gourmet marketplace. We feel incredibly lucky to have such a fantastic market in our neighborhood. If you're looking for the best in catering and gourmet and specialty food, look no further than Cangiano’s.
