50 Best Delis near River Vale

“Place seemed clean and the two owners ( educated guess after reading the first review ) seemed nice. But if you order a sandwich , a big part of your order is what you ask for on the sandwich. So, if I say lettuce or tomato or salt , perhaps they could try to remember that. To be fair the roast beef was delicious. And I would go back to try out some of the specials on the board. Also they had soups.“

“I am very happy that I was one of their clients. it was my first time to go to this place, and I was super satisfied. It is a very good environment, the food was wonderful and something else, the respect they give to each customer is amazing . I felt like at home. Thank you very much for everything .God bless .

“Literally the best italian deli and specialties you can come across. Eddie always takes his time and puts love into all the food. Every single time im here i leave happy. From the bread to the meats and cheeses everything is top tier. If youre in the area its worth coming to. Id drive 30 minutes out of my way to get lunch.“

“I came since I was freshman with my brother and still go now with my friend and we both love the food and drink and all the varieties of chips and snacks almost makes me indecisive on what to pick since there's so many options. Would go there everytime!“

“Huge selection of sandwich options, made with high quality ingredients. I couldn’t believe the size of the sandwiches and at such an affordable price point. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This place is a gem. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Not only is the food great, but they are incredibly friendly and remember everyone who comes through. By my 4th visit they had my order memorized and when I lost my voice I didn’t even have to say a word and they took amazing care of my lunch experience. I only have a short lunch window each day and every time I’m there, without fail, they are able to give me a quick and convenient experience without sacrificing the pleasant atmosphere.“

“An old school authentic Italian deli run by mom, dad, and their son. The food is outstanding, I had an Italian Combo and my wife had a turkey sub, there was no skimping on the ingredients, WOW! As for the pizza ? we traveled here from Cape Cod in search of the best pizza from Rockland County NY through Bergen County NJ. We eventually landed here at Petrillos and met John and his parents working behind the counter. An old school hard-working family making traditional pizzas. We were blown away by what they had created, a super tasty combination of classic sauce and the perfect amount of cheese on a slightly crispy underbody with a soft but crisp crust. We ordered 13 pizzas that day, 10 plain,1 green pepper & onion, and 2 chicken cutlet and cherry pepper. After trying the Chicken cutlet and cherry pepper I called the next morning and ordered 3 more...wow it was awesome. Upon picking up the pizzas Sunday morning we discovered John making breakfast on the flat-top grill so my wife ordered French toast and bacon, yum! We gave this establishment a 5-star review but on a scale of 1-10 we gave our highest review 9.8 only because there has to be room for something higher, we just haven't found it yet. Keep up the good work, this will always be a stop on our road trips from the Cape. You are officially part of our food world family, La Famiglia. Thank you, from Kevin & Melanie“

“This is your local, authentic Italian Deli with zero frills (don’t plan to eat inside, takeout only/cash only) but the best sandwich you will eat in North Jersey! I ordered a number 5 for a party and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone was asking where it was from. I highly recommend #1 for meat lovers, number #8 if you like turkey. Can’t go wrong with any. Trust me…delicious!!“

“This is the spot. We are new to Dobbs ferry and I popped in today for a sandwich. Woman behind the counter was very kind in explaining what the most popular wedges are. Landed on an #11 which is chicken cutlet, American, bacon, bbq. Was top class. Not new to New York deli scene at all and they edged out another top spot a few towns over due to the crispy bacon. They know what they’re doing here don’t think you can wrong with anything on the menu. Lots of locals stopping in to pick up orders.Parking: Easy and free 15 min town street parkingKid-friendliness: They’ll make whatever you want. Picky eater would be easy to satisfy here“

“Some of the best tacos I've had on the East coast. These are on par with California and Texas tacos. Most of the tacos in NYC and NY and terrible, but not Los Ferchos. This is a great family run deli, with the whole family helping to make super authentic tacos in the back. The staff is super friendly, and they even have a couple tables inside and outside for you to enjoy your food. They also make homemade ice pops and they have some very niche authentic Mexican food items too like Oaxaca cheese and Mexican desserts. Easily the best tacos in the Hudson Valley, and maybe NY too.“

“Came in with no expectations and was very happily surprised at how welcoming and helpful the staff was. I got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and an iced coffee. The food was delicious and perfectly priced. The coffee also exceeded my expectations and was tasty. The food also came out very quickly and they even let me eat before paying. Would definitely recommend trying it out!“

“This is very small location but packs a great sandwich!! Has lots of useful staples and the best dressing ever!! If you from Yonkers this is comparable to the flavor that Lady's once had on Willow. They use all fresh Boars Head deli meat and cheeses. Absolutely a place to check out on Yonkers, truly a hidden gem. Service is prompt and friendly!!“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“When I first stepped in. I knew what I was getting myself into. A family run store, that will question you if they can tell you're not from the area, however they still make you feel like a local. The owners are some of the nicest people I've met. Being a first time customer of theirs they made me feel like I was a regular. Service was unbelievable good.Now the food. Oh my heaven. I like to try bacon eggs and cheeses from every deli I go to, and this one really was up there with one of my favorites. A sandwich that you can tell was crafted with love, an energy that seems to radiate with the family that runs the deli. I'm going to be coming back every chance I can!“

“My Daughter ordered this Roast Beef dinner with the works. The roast beef was very tender and tasty and the gravy was an added bonus! The mashed potatoes were smooth and silky and delicious. Add the salad and it was a perfect meal. I highly recommend Shortrounds and definitely will be ordering from them again!! Bravo!!“

“Great local spot for old school breakfast sandwiches and hot and cold lunches. I had the hot roast beef and fresh mutz and gravy with added cherry peppers!! Real good stuff. Side of Mac salad. Definitely a place to stop in and grab a sandwich or something from the hot lunch table. Highly recommend it.“

“I came here for the first time on Monday as I was trying to find places nearby to eat lunch and I really enjoyed it. It's a great place to grab a bite to eat during lunch. Its clean and the staff are super friendly! I work near by so it has been my go-to place to sit down and eat. I haven't tried their subs yet but will soon! I recommend it if you are near by the Glen Rock area!“

“Had the New York wrap (bbq chicken and onions). Really good. This place is also the first stop for a lot of kids events that 4BronxProject organizes on Mosholu. This place always goes all out for the kids during those which I really appreciate.“

“I've been attending Wilkes for more than ten years. The staff is outstanding, and everything is made with passion. There are inventive daily sandwich specials, delectable soups, and fresh desserts as well. They serve a large assortment of chips and drinks. Every day of the month, I could eat there and have a different meal every time. For a faster checkout, give your order a call.“

“YUM YUM YUM First of all Larry, the owner is the nicest guy ever. His homemade items are tremendous and never short on taste or flavor. Here is what i cannot live without. Here goes, his homemade bologna, liverwurst, spicy polish loaf, homemade hot dogs and Spanish hot dogs along with his breakfast sausage are items like you never ever had before. Thank GOD he is right in Mahwah , NJ To get these gems of food, I grew up in the 50's and feel I am back in time when quality meant everything. Make sure you stop there and try everyone of these items and you will be a customer forever. None better. Wherever you are, it is well worth the drive to indulge in these amazingly delicious meats. Thanks Larry. Your the best !!!!! p.s Larry actually slices your rye bread by hand and each slice is cut to perfection. He is faster than a machine. AMAZING !!!!!!“

“Go to spot for breakfast. Delicious and they prepare the order quickly. I’ve never been disappointed with getting my Taylor Egg & Cheese bagel and Yellow smoothie here! Order ahead on the phone if in a hurry and they’re always on point with everything.“

“Double 6 deli has been my favorite place to get breakfast and lunch for the last 2 years. Number 16 egg, bacon and cheese are my go-to sandwich and #36 chicken cutlet with avocado, tomato, and lettuce are soooo good.They also have fresh made yogurts with fruits.★★★★★“

“I work locally and order from here at least 2 times per week. Everything I have ordered is ALWAYS fantastic. The gyro sauce "white dill dauce", do not call it tzatziki ( I was gently corrected several times) is phenomenal! so much so that I would dunk the Pastrami Reuben into it. The gyro, to quote Andrew Zimmern, sloopy, ooey gooey deliciousness! The star of the show has to be the cheesesteak eggroll, holy #$%^!!!! I called today to order and when I was told it was sold out...yeah, that's right, a non-Chinese eatery being sold out of egg rolls! I replaced with the cheesesteak empanada....BAM just as good! I am skeptical about ordering anything different because on the SLIM chance what I ordered does not hit the Empire State Building bar that has been set.....I feel like I would have just wasted my lunch. Not gonna happen... EAT HERE! That is all.“

“We've ordered from them more than five times by now, and every single time their Pizza is absolutely top-notch! I have no idea how they make their dough or their pizza sauce, but recently we got their make-your-own pizza kit to do with our child, and even that was firmly the best homemade pizza I've had in my life. So just in terms of basic ingredients they are absolutely doing something perfect. The owners are also super nice, and there's nice little shop there to pick up some items if you get there a few minutes early.“

“I was craving a deli sandwich and this hit the spot! Friendly service and delicious food! Also, $11 for a sandwich is such a deal!! The inside looks like a cute, typical deli. There's a large assortment of prepared foods, soups, etc. There is also parking in the back!“

“My butter roll came back just a little too crispy. I guess because I asked for it toasted instead of plain heated. But they've got tye absolute best chicken empanadas I've tasted in my life. These empanadas are soft and flavorful and will make you slap your abuelo. Awesome customer service, very polite dudes. Solid business ??“

“Great local feel and friendly staff, but the food is amazing. Best sandwiches anywhere and don’t waste your time going to NY for a Pastrami sandwich because I would put theirs up against Katz deli any day of the week. The rice pudding is one of my favorites !“

“This place has been where my family gets ravioli since I was born. There’s no place better in my opinion. It’s super affordable amazing delicious and is homemade in house. Get there as soon as possible and buy as many as you can with how much cash you “

“I was greeted warmly and treated with courtesy, efficiency and a friendly smile. I ordered 2 meals, one to takeout and the Mac & burger for dine in. I also tried the Illy coffee + add shot of espresso.My meal was delicious, very fresh and flavorful. Fries crispy, just as I had ordered. And the coffee excellent! Look forward to my Market salad!!I will definitely return, many meals to try haha. Thank you to the server, so kind!!“

“I ordered the sandwich and wrap platter for a graduation party. What a crowd pleaser! The food was fresh and delicious and the portions were generous. I highly recommend the fruit bowl as well. I will certainly be using Chestnut deli again.“

“Belle Vita has been under new ownership for a couple of years. The former owners would be pleased. Not only can you get wonderful authentic Italian meats, cheeses and desserts. But!!!! I have to send special thanks. My mom is 90, almost 91. For Christmas she asked for an Italian EASTER holiday specialty, a pie/quiche.It had been so long since she saw one she mixed up Holidays. I called Belle Vita. The very kind young man I spoke to advised it was for Easter. This being my second Christmas as a widow, it was already difficult. And I wanted to give my Mom anything I could. I was not nice when they said only at Easter. I had to call back and apologize. About 5 minutes later my phone said Sally Boys Deli was calling me. My mothers name is Sally. Apparently the new owners have another deli with that name elsewhere. But It was Chris from Belle Vita. They were going to make me the dish for Mom. When one is a widow, and Mom is 90, all you want is to make her happy. So Belle Vita, Happy 2024, Thank you. :)“

“Food is unbelievable. The selections are vast and the service is quick and friendly.Vegetarian options: Lots of great salad and pasta options as well as fruits.Parking: Nice open parking lot you can enter and exit on to 2 main streets easily.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and flat ground.“

“Let’s check the boxes before a short story. Food? Yes! Plenty of it and there is not a bad dish in the house. Service? Oh yes, with a smile and a promise of making sure you get it exactly how you want it. Atmosphere? This is almost the best part. Everyone waiting in a long line is moving quickly and happy to be there. Anticipating their next delicious meal.Ok, now the meat and potatoes of my review. I live in Staten Island and there is no shortage of good food. And while I don’t come to pearl River specifically to visit Munnos, my dad always asks that I go there for our lunch.This last weekend I got a chicken cutlet parm hero, he got tuna on a seeded hero with extra mayo. Odd choice for an Italian sandwich shop, but pop is old and I don’t scoff at anything he does anymore. While he was eating I did something I never do, I asked for a bite. Now I haven’t had tuna fish in over 30 years. He cut me a small piece and passed it over to my plate.Now I need to say, that food is the one thing families have come together over and have since the beginning of time. Back in 2022 we lost mom. When I took a bite of that tuna sandwich, I was immediately transported back to 9 years old eating mom’s tuna.In short…thank you for causing some of the happiest tears I’ve had in a long time and for the trip back in time with a simple and delicious tuna sandwich. It’s just how mom used to make, which is no easy accomplishment.“

“Absolutely delicious, everything is delicious. Great hero's, soups, party platters, home made sauces, Italian sweets. Attentive staff, portions are great, prices are fair. The place is very clean. Try the chicken cutlet with their broccoli rabe on a hero roll.“

“We had a 40th Birthday Party in the private room on Saturday night. It was absolutely fantastic. The room is beautiful ,they had it set up as we discussed. The service was exemplary. FOOD was amazing. We have been enjoying Forte since they opened. I would highly recommend this venue for any private party.“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. I vaguely remember them being in a different location though.....on the corner adjacent to them.....where CVS is now (they expanded that space). The place is small with no tables. There's just a couple of stools by the window. We always order delivery though. Family run by husband, wife and son. They are all very nice and delivery is always within 30 minutes.I've tried a bunch of things from there. Egg sandwiches, cold cut sandwiches, BLTs, burgers, pasta salad, fries etc. I haven't disliked anything. Their fries are a must get! Not sure why they're so good, but they are.As for the pricing, everything is under $10 which is great!Definitely check them out!“

“Mike is carrying on a Hillsdale/Twp. tradition by rocking this old school local fav deli with some real tasty sandwiches and daily specials for lunch & takeout dinner. Get in there, he jams JERRY while preparing your order...Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand! ?“

“I was so happy to find Mucci's. For 60 years my Mom and I bought all our Italian food items at Latona's in Garfield. Sadly Joanne, the owner, decided to retire and we lost the very best Italian specialty items outside of Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. I was like a kid in a candy shop when I entered Mucci's; great selection of items, fast and friendly employees and the store is very neat, clean and well organized. Will definitely be back, again and again!Vegetarian options: Several side dishes.“

“First time going there got two subs simply delicious nothing like a family style deli especially not corporate prices or fantastic very courteous owners you have to try it you will not be disappointed whatsoever Will be going back no ifs check it out“

“Just moved into an area, tried a few places and John's is now my Sunday morning staple. Lox they get is one of the best I've ever had. Not sure what all these people going crazy with bad reviews, try it yourself, so far, my every Sunday morning is on point !!!“

“Me and my family has been coming to this store since they opened and they have always been polite,professional, all the food is authentic Italian. I highly recommend EVERYTHING you'll be asking yourself why haven't I been to this store sooner“

“I live in Cincinnati Ohio but was born and raised in Washington Township. I haven't been back to casa in over 20 years and it was great to see nothing had changed and the eggplant parmesan is still as awesome as I remember it. Keep it up everyone, it was a nice treat visiting back home.“

“We got the family dinner, picked up around 5 - Chicken parmigiana with pasta and a salad (and bread). AMAZEBALLS. Great chicken parm. Like eating at a restaurant. I just wish I'd taken a photo to share with anyone checking it out.We'll be back for picking up family dinners, thanks!“

“I love this place. Owners are the best. Super pleasant, love chatting with them. It really something that is missed in customer service today. Old school neighborhood deli, where people remember you. Food is fenominal. Tuna and macaroni salad is amazing. Salads are fresh, breads and bagles are fresh. Prices are excellent.“

“I have been shopping here for years myself. It has had different owners due to retirement but the food is always fresh and homemade. The owner is friendly and welcomes you in. He makes much of the food and huge variety. Everything you need to cook yourself also. I highly recommend“

“Been out of the area (Florida) for over 5 years and clearly, having had a good sandwich in a while.I ordered the basic Italian combo.$7.50!!!!Awesome price.I'll give it an 8.7!!!! Great sandwich for the price.I'm a gavone (sp) so, it could have been a bit larger (with a price adjustment of course) and, I prefer seeded rolls but, really really great.Go there.“

“Some of best fresh perogies around, tender pasta and creamy potatoe filling. Wait for kielbasa and deli is long because everything is sliced on the spot, but worth the time. The locals / staff all order in polish which can be daunting but english translation below each label. It also helps that the checkout employees speak English. While waiting, don't forget the chocolate selection on the side.“

“Love this place! Every time I go - the food is always delicious & fresh! They have great hot food that changes everyday... A lot of Italian dishes & homemade fresh mutz! Sandwiches are always nice and stuffed - heavy generous portions always! Pastries are soooo good especially their St. Joseph Zeppole! All around great old school store. Same family has run it for almost 50 yrs. Can't beat it!“

“Honestly no complaints - one of the better delis I’ve been to in a long, long time. The Southwesterner was next-level! My buddy’s sandwich looked just as good. The bread was perfect.And it’s on a mainline. Freights and subs? Sign me up!“
