50 Best Sandwich Shops near Roseland

“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!“

“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!“

“The Great Wazu is the reason small businesses are the HEART of a community. I am a soon-to-be small business owner myself. I walked in this place tonight like I do every 1-2 weeks to get dinner. Sara behind the counter has gotten to know me and ALWAYS remembers my order. Tonight, she asked me what was new, and I told her I had been upset all day worrying about all the stuff I have on my plate right now getting my business ready to open. She was the sweetest. When I reached for my credit card, she told me my order was on her and gave me a hug and said, "You got this." It was one of the most human experiences I've ever had, and I just want everyone to know how special this place is. It's not just the sandwiches. It's the kindness.“

“1st time to New Jersey. We decided to order from a deli, so we ordered from Poppies, best decision we ever made. We ordered through a delivery service and it was still hot when it arrived. We ordered the hot roast beef sandwich on long roll and a bacon cheese burger on long roll with 2 bags of doretoes. They did not disappoint they were big, hot and very tasty. I will recommend to friends and family if they are coming to New Jersey from Texas anytime in the future.“

“YES 👍🏼 my favorite local sandwich shop hands down!“

“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.“

“Always a great experience at the deli. The owner is very personable and accommodating.“

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

“Holy crap the sandwich was good it was bursting with flavor and everything in between. The guy helping me gave me 70 free bags of chips and free cookies, of course. My life has been changed forever. The sandwich was so good, for a second I thought my dad returned.“

“My office has been ordering lunch from here periodically over the past year, and today we placed a larger order for the entire office. Before placing it, I called the store twice to make sure we had enough food and sides for everyone.

Tommy was not only incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but also one of the friendliest people I've ever dealt with. By the time I arrived to pick up the order, he made me feel like family!

The entire staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, and everything was ready as promised. I can't thank them enough for making our office lunch such a great experience.“

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

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

“Great subs!!! Ribeye was fantastic!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“BIG SHOUT OUT TO PARSIPPANY JERSEY MIKES!!!! Can’t thank you enough for feeding 100 healthcare workers (at your own expense!) during these uncertain times..... YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING 😊😊♥️👍🏻🙏🏻 #peoplehelpingpeoplehelpingpeople #covid19wontwin“

“I moved into the area recently and have gone to this location multiple times over the last year two years. Honestly, I’m not sure what it is, not sure who is doing what, but everybody who works behind the counter are some of the friendliest people in food service I’ve ever met! They are genuinely sweet people. Seriously, when you go in there, just strike up a little light conversation. They’re so nice! A pleasure! Every single one I’ve ever encountered behind the counter! Good job!! ☺️“

“I went for dinner and decided to try the Wednesday special menu, and it was a total hit! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that classic touch everyone loves. Very worth it for the price. We were taken care of by Tony, who provided us with truly special service from the very beginning“

“great food and the people are usually pretty respectful but no matter how many times i tell them im just a man with long hair they still call me a woman
like just give me my sandwich i don’t care that you’ve never seen a man with long hair jesus christ

“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.“

“Nice place to get u coffee Sandwich and u gas 😍“

“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.“

“This sandwich shop takes you back to a time when a real Italian Deli could make a hero. For me it's not just the cold cuts, but the bread that make these heros special. Starting with the mild Italian hero with the works. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Troops since I was a teenager, and no matter how much time passes even after moving to Florida this spot NEVER misses. I still make it a priority every time I’m back. The #7? Still flawless. Same flavor, same quality, straight nostalgia in every bite.
This time I brought my wife and daughter with me, and they get it now. This place is part of my story took me right back to my Clifton Speed Center days… #IYKYK.“

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

“Great sandwiches! Always fresh. Management and staff always friendly. The store is always clean when I go there. They really got it together there. I highly recommend!“

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

“Outstanding group of workers there! Greeted as soon as we walked into the door, and even though there was a long line - the crew were quick, accurate and did a fantastic job making sure our wait wasn’t too long. Even went as far to ask each customer their name, introducing themselves and asking how their day was going! Stellar crew and are happy to have them in the community! And did I mention the sandwiches are delicious and prepared perfectly?!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great experience, service“

“BEST FOOD AROUND! A++++++“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“This is the BEST place ever! The sandwiches are super meaty and toasty! I LOVE the meat! When they warm up the meat, it makes the sandwich perfect! A certain hunk, Bob or Rob, helped me out today... and speaking of meat... WOW! 😉“

“Local around the area and will always love this place to my core. I’ve been coming here since I was young and I watched the place change interior looks and saw the upgrade they had; proud of them! My family and I would have this place for Dinner time to time and it would never disappoint. Food is wonderful as always.“

“One of my favorite places!! The chicken cheesesteak and fries are delicious“

“I stopped by today to pick up a big order for a lunch meeting today and it was an amazing experience! Angel was so great and organized and Romain got everything together in such a timely manner. It was a big order and they handled it professionally while being fun and friendly! The store was very clean and organized I will 100% be returning and telling all my friends to go to!!“

“The Subway on Main Street in Paterson is always a solid choice! The staff is friendly and makes the sandwiches just the way you ask. Everything tastes fresh — from the bread to the veggies — and the place is clean and well maintained. Service is quick, and they’re consistent every time I stop by. Great spot for a quick, fresh meal in Paterson!“

“Staff and food were both great! Definitely would go back.“

“Food and service are great. The only reason for the 4 instead 5 is just the prices have almost double since COVID. 22 dollars for barely a foot long is crazy. Like I can go to subway and do the 7 dollar foot longs. A sub is a sub. Is there really enough going on to justify a 15 dollar difference?? I can understand like 12 dollars for a sandwich maybe even 14 but 22 and up I can't afford to go here anymore.“

“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!“

“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!!!“
