50 Best Delis near North Arlington

“My family has been shopping there for over 20 yrs. Everything is made with love & perfection....“

“It is exactly what it's supposed to be, a deli with chips and candy. I never ordered any sandwiches or hot food. I just go in to grab something real quick. The service is polite and the selection is quite great. For like 2.5 decades I always intend on going to try something hot, but I'm always just in a hurry to grab a drink, chips or breath mints. ?“

“Very welcoming and helpful. I felt out of my element but they helped me right away. 22 dollars for a sandwich that could definitely feed two and maybe three. Even gave us napkins while we were eating outside. Very nice and a very big sandwich“

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

The food was the real highlight—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavors that stand out. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, fresh salad, or something warm and comforting, everything is prepared with care. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

“We’ve used Federal Gourmet to cater our annual work event for three years in a row, and they continue to be fantastic. Each year they’ve successfully fed around 300 people, and the food has been a hit every single time—consistently fresh, flavorful, and well received across the board.

The entire process is incredibly smooth. Communication is easy and responsive, there’s a wide range of tray options with lots of flexibility, and the menu does a great job accommodating vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary restrictions. Delivery and setup have always gone off without a hitch. On the rare occasion when an issue came up (a missing tray), it was handled immediately and professionally, without any stress.

Overall, everything runs seamlessly from start to finish. I highly recommend Federal Gourmet for anyone planning a large work or corporate catering event—they’re reliable, accommodating, and consistently deliver great food.“

“Great owner, friendly staff, and an awesome deli counter. Fresh Mozzarella is store made and is some of the best I’ve ever had. The owner has special ordered coffee upon request for me. Ridgefield Park Liquor & Deli is a great community store!“

“This cafe was across from my hotel room. Happy I came here their coffee was the best I’ve had in New York and loved that it kept on getting topped up like in the movies (from Sydney). I had breakfast which was delicious but they also hace a wide variety, excellent customer service.“

“I cannot speak more highly of this deli. Everytime I come in, I’m immediately greeted, the cooks know my order, everyone is extremely friendly. The food is spectacular and fresh and the prices are FAIR, and service is FAST even in the morning rush. This is the absolute best experience you can have for a deli. Everything is clean as well, and nicely lit. You can tell the employees are treated well and the management keeps this place pristine.“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of the best, hands down.“

“Now this is a good bodega. Ordered a sandwich and was such a fair price. And not only fair price, but the sandwich was amazing! And included a bag of chips! There’s a lot of bodegas in NYC, let me tell you, and not every one of them is offering this kind of quality at such a good price. And the guys were super nice as well. Keep up the good work.“

“Delicious food prepared with such love and care. You will enjoy every morsel😁“

“The best sandwiches in the area“

“This place is clean and well organized. I went for a quick lunch break and staffs were well respectful and made amazing sandwich. I highly recommend this place if you are in area. I am definitely going back for endless selections of food.“

“Excellent Food and service. Top Notch!!!!!“

“Just had their cheese ravioli and manicotti. Wow! The manicotti was so delicious and creamy. Absolute heaven! And the ravioli were the best I’ve ever tasted. Deluxe! I’ll definitely be traveling the 1 hour+ up to Nutley to pick up more.“

“The reviews are all true . This is real deal Italian neighborhood food ! Homemade soups, cold sandwiches that don’t cut corners, hot subs done properly, liquor available, and genuinely good service from a family-run spot planted in one of New Jersey’s strongest Italian communities.

The power move is the steam table in the back. That’s where the nonna cooks whatever she felt like winning with that day.

Daily specials, rotating, well seasoned, zero shortcuts. I’ve tried several. They don’t miss EVER 🔥🔥

Daily specials change constantly and are posted on their website. Skip the trendy places pretending to do this. This one actually does“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“I ordered a Chicken Cheesesteak, with their signature Chipotle Sauce, and it was phenomenal!!... Roll was so soft & fresh... Their store is so clean & neat, and I received great customer service!!... Their kiosks helped me to have a quick & easy transaction & the owner Mr. Rudy was extremely helpful, and nice!!... I recommend Poppies Deli to all who desire good quality food & a fast & efficient service!!...“

“The Real Deal In Italian Deli.“

“Friendly atmosphere. Great menu, delicious food.! I would come back anytime. Highly recommend stopping by, making friends with the owner and feeling at home while there. Great place to visit while in between work meetings, a lunch break or just need food and place that will hug your spirit: :)“

“This deli is a great addition to the landscape of our small town! It's cozy, clean, and inviting, and of course has great food made to order. Short story... one evening I was running late to work on second shift. Michelle had already closed, but was still inside cleaning. She let me in, and made me the two sandwiches I requested without hesitation. I will never forget that. Thanks Michelle! Keep up the great work!“

“Good food and Great service!!!! I've been coming here for sometime now.“

“Everything delicious: Best Italian sub sandwich; eggplant parmigiana. Going years. No exaggeration“

“Best meatball parm in NYC“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“

“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’ve been coming to Tropic for the past 2 years and this place is amazing. I always get the same juice “Green Dream” and the “chicken cutlet on a wrap.” And every time I come in I don’t have to order they always remember my order. Absolutely love this place!!! Would recommend 10/10!!!“

“I have been getting my pierogi here for years. Hands down, THE BEST PIEROGI. Being of Polish descent, I have tried many and none compare. All of the baked goods are so fresh. The kruscicki, babka (the cheese babka is amazing), and the poppyseed bread are delicious. The potato pancakes are huge and delicious as well. My favorite place to stop when visiting Bayonne.“

“Great deli that you can always count on for consistently good food. I went in and asked for something fresh and filling and got a wrap called the knock out. One of the best things I’ve eaten all year and will be back to try more unique sandwiches that they are cooking up!“

“My bro took me here with him. He went 2 get food… he told me the food b bussin (is really good)… I haven’t tried it yet but he said the chopped cheese from here go crazy… also they have a lot of exotic snacks u dnt see in regular jersey stores…“

“Visited from West Palm Beach, Fl & my daughter had a taste for a chopped cheese. Unfortunately , they were out but a Philly cheesesteak sufficed . Welcoming hospitality and service . I also ordered the oxtail cheesesteak for myself it was tasty. However I did felt like it was missing something . But I blame myself because I omitted the peppers. The Philly cheesesteak was amazinggh“

“Simple excellent food.“

“I come here almost every day to get my morning coffee and breakfast sandwich, sometimes dinner too! The food is delicious, prices are very reasonable (especially for West Village) and the owner Mo is a great guy - always enjoyable to chat with. Good selection of store products too.“
