50 Best Delis near Malverne

“Our go-to place every time we visit Long Island. While their sandwiches are great, I’ve gotta say that their sausage is fantastic- it’s a toss up between the hot Italian or the fennel sausage, both are made in house. Wish I had a place like this near where I live in New Jersey.“

“In a small town like Malverne, you only have three decent delis to choose from, and every morning it’s the same story, long lines. When you’re trying to grab breakfast before work, every minute counts. Add in a full parking lot, no spots out front, and now you’re parking on the street risking a ticket. And if you live in Malverne, you know the “friendly” meter maid, he’s quick with those tickets. It sucks. I don’t think the owner of this deli realizes what we go through just trying to support a local business.
In my attempt to save time, I call my order in ahead. But if I still have to wait on line just to tell the counter guy I’m there for pickup, it defeats the whole purpose. Creating two lines would fix this: one for people who call ahead (like me, who’s late everywhere) and one for walk-ins. You’d streamline the phone order process, serve more customers, and make mornings a lot smoother. Funny enough, I had this same conversation with a few neighbors, and they said they skip buying breakfast in town altogether for this exact reason.

My second suggestion: have one person dedicated to charging customers. It doesn’t make sense for the guys behind the counter who are preparing food to put on rubber gloves, grab money, make change, and then go right back to handling food with the same gloves.

Besides that, when you do have time, enjoy the food because it’s great!“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.“

“Awesome service and delicious food. definitely 5 star Deli“

“This is an amazing Family Owned Deli. The food here is beyond compare and prepared fresh. Ask for the Off Menu Items! They are hidden Gems!“

“Made with love, the secrete ingredient“

“10 stars!! I ordered full trays of meatballs, penne with red sauce, chicken francese, garden salad and half tray of eggplant for my baby shower. My family and friends loved the food and everyone asked where the food was catered from. Thank you so much for the delicious food, We’ll be ordering again !“

“The food here is very good and reasonably priced. It’s clean, bright, and has lots of menu options to choose from with new specials ask the time. The workers are very friendly and make the trip there enjoyable. Highly recommend this deli!“

“Every time I come to the BMW dealership, I have to stop by here for their sizzling steak plate. The $13 steak and shrimp fried noodles are seriously delicious! Highly recommended — don’t miss it, and I hope the owner keeps this place open for a long time.“

“The staff is always welcoming and eager to please. their sandwiches are awesome and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended. PS: They also cater to please!“

“I've been coming from Orange County every week for the last 2 years to watch my grandsons a few days each week. We make it part of our day to take a walk and always stop in for a snack or a sandwhich. Sam and his wife are lovely, friendly people and always make a fuss over the babies. The store is immaculate and the Korean food is not to be missed. The Bulgogi hero is my favorite go to sandwhich....Highly recommend !“

“The food is excellent and their customers are important to them. They always go that extra mile to please them. The food is always fresh & “delish” (from their wonderful breakfasts to their homemade salads, chef’s salads, sandwiches…especially their Tambi’s Special…to their hearty home cooked meals). I don’t know anyone who doesn’t speak highly of Tamburino’s.“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“Fresh food … always delicious. We ordered chicken parmesan for dinner. Everyone loved it. Chicken was moist and flavorful! Side of eggplant rollatini was perfect! Crowd favorite! Highly recommend!“

“I’m new to the Neighbourhood, but I just found my new spot. Tommy’s deli Is a nice convenient and well Established. The owner Angela was very nice very respectful and the way she ran her business and the entire presentation is a five out of five. It’s A+. She’s a great individual.
More so I had a dilemma and I just casually run it up with her, A stranger that just met while she was making me a sandwich
She gave me amazing advice and she made me feel a whole lot better About myself
The drinks and the food that I ordered from the place were delicious and I will find myself going there again.“

“I love this place, I've been going here ever since I was a kid and everything about it is perfect! The ambience, the employees, the locals, this is a New York Bagel place at heart. Not to mention, the bagels, pastries and cream cheeses are incredible. I've moved away and yet make an effort to come here every single time I come back!“

“Got on a GrubHub delivery. food arrived on time fresh and well wrapped. sandwich was delicious.
My recommendations would be semolina bread in exchange for Italian bread.
the prosciutto berata is what I ordered I would have added red peppers to it to give it that extra taste other than that it was delicious“

“Came to New York from Florida and was on the hunt for an authentic deli for the famous BECSPK and came across brothers deli.
Upon walking in, the young man at the register was dealing with a customer fighting over 5 cents trying to scam the store. I watched it all unfold. The worker kept his cool, stayed firm on his response and professional.
Even after the customer left he didn’t complain about the interaction! I like that!
We joked and talked about visiting home ( NY) after being away for many years and the nostalgic candies we saw waiting.
Needless to say, we came back almost daily for their breakfast. Absolutely perfect, they accommodated our allergy request and was greeted with a smile and nice conversation each time. There is something special about knowing your value in a store and they definitely made us feel welcome, for a little corner deli, They are making a nice footprint in the community!
We would love to comeback and say hi during our next visit!
PS! Thanks for the KitKats!!! You guys are great!!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.“

“Wonderful family ran community business delicious food“

“Places like this are why I say Long Island NY has the best food in the world. The staff looks and acts like they're focused on quality food and service. The deli itself is clean and organized. Get one of their sandwiches (I recommend corned beef) and for about 12 bucks you have a fine lunch or dinner.“

“Best of the Best 12 /20/25 Lg stew Chicken rice Bk Beans..Yuca and PotatoeSalad..Delicious
Plus got a Lg Chicken soup smelt so good it didnt make it out of parking lot..It was loaded Chayote.carrot corn plantain chicken.
Wow.Pix of Food. Sorry no pix of soup it went fast on a cold day or im greedy😂😂“

“This was so good. I didn't realize how badly I was craving this until I ate it. Hit the spot. It's SO much better than the hotel & airport food, it's not even fair. If you're staying nearby, go take that quick walk. You will not be disappointed.“

“Whenever I'm in Merrick, which is usually two or three times a month, I always stop at Bagelman of Merrick. They have the best bacon and egg sandwiches and their tuna and chicken salads are always a welcome sight back home. Their bagels are always fresh and flavorful no matter what variety I get. I've come to know the owner, Boris, and his staff, and they are always most helpful. Looking forward to my next trip to Merrick.“

“Sometimes it's worth going extra mile to get what you want. 144 Rockaway Deli has REAL bacon, and other things .But This store has some good smoothies had to grab some before I headed out. It's usually a line because everybody's trying to get their order.But definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely going back to get a smoothie“

“The food I bought was so good!! Cannot wait to go back for more. The people were extremely nice and very helpful.“

“Everything this at seven street gourmet deli is amazing and the food is delicious the staff is so friendly and welcoming“

“I absolutely love this spot! AzA Deli & Grill has become my go-to deli in Queens — every visit is consistently great. The food is fresh, flavorful, and always prepared just the way I like it. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Whether I’m grabbing a quick bite on the go or picking up something delicious for later, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood looking for tasty, affordable deli classics with excellent service! 🍔🥪🥤“

“I absolutely loved this place. I work nearby, so I always love going to this place. The owner is nice, and the food is pretty good. My only complaint is that I had Haitian Chicken over Rice, but the rice tasted unwashed ruining the dish (the chicken was still good). Other than that, I loved every other option. Especially the Italian sandwich. Plus, it's pretty affordable for lunch breaks ?“

“I stopped by this place by chance because I was hungry, and I’m really glad I did. The food was very good. While I can’t say for sure that everything on the menu is amazing, based on the appearance and the flavor of what I ordered, I’m confident that the rest of the food is delicious as well. The staff is very kind and attentive, and the portion size is generous and satisfying. I would definitely come back. 🙂🤝🏻“

“Who is the best deli in Elmont and will continue to be the best deli“

His omlettes and iced coffee are amazing, and the store is well kept and clean , you can tell it’s a clean business 10/10“

“Great food and very sweet people greeted us!“

“I went in for the first time 8/15/22 they were very nice to me I told them it was my first time in the store and that saw their reviews on a great sandwich and I told them I would like a Italian hero with a lot of meat they didn’t disappoint on that at the end I introduced myself as Ray and to let them know I just want to let you know who I am because I’ll be back again as a steady customer and Carlos introduced himself this place is heaven thanks for being nice appreciated the service.“

“I love a Deli that makes a sandwich you can bite every time! The bread is so soft. Sucker for bread. I just love it 😁. I ordered the Sweet Heart. Stop in if you want to know. My love decided on Chicken Philly. He said it's Great! This isn't our first visit😋“

“I ordered through Uber last night and I wasn't expecting much. It was prepared very quickly! I'm not someone who really likes smoothies but we all need to be a little healthier right? I got the dragon watermelon smoothie and I was highly impressed! It was perfect, and even filled me up. I also grabbed some steak tacos. I didn't particularly enjoy the tortilla, I wish it was a regular flour tortilla. However the flavorful steak made up for it! I wasn't expecting to find such a gem but it truly is! I'm so glad they have such an extensive menu. There's so many options to choose from, it'll be difficult to get bored!“

“I had a great experience at Hollywood Deli! The food was fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I wanted it. Even though they were busy, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving quickly. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal!“

“they are amazing, calm lil queens deli, but they can buss it down in the kitchen, chicken cutlet with bbq and turkey bacon slap, all halal, prices are fair. Typically cleaned, they need to fix that phone tho, I wanna order and have them hear me clearly“

“il gusto siciliano a New York e non solo“

“Great food, excellent service!“

“The hot food here (Latin Food) is made fresh daily and it's pretty. You get a decent portion for 1 for $5. Breakfast sandwiches starting at $3 so you can't go wrong and the cold cut hero's are enormous to some really good brewed coffee. Not much on the negative to say except that it would be nice if they carried a larger variety of drink but from canned goods to cleaning supplies to house hold items and an ATM this deli has a lot to offer at good prices.“

“First time here. The chicken fingers are by far the best I’ve ever had. I also gotta Nicky hero and it was outstanding. The staff here are exceptional!“

“I ordered the tacos carnitas with salsa verde and a tamarind drink. They did not disappoint, the food was delicious and the drink was good. Amazing service and a variety menu too. If you’re looking for good Mexican food, this is your spot.“

“Deli Boy makes great sandwiches. Very fresh and tasty ingredients. I only recently moved to the area so I have been to a few delis in the freeport Baldwin area. I would say that all my orders have been over the phone for pick up. Because of COVID I wont open rh e sandwhich but all of my sandwiches I have asked for cheese but everytime I get home .....there is none. Its my faukt though I know netter to watch my food being prepared and making sure all the ingredients are there. AI havent really fully enjoyed the sandwich becuae its missing a key ingredient. It hapoened again today. Gbey write the order down perfect on the ticjetbut the sandwich doesnt have evefything on it . Dont get me wrong ill be back but I jave to change my way of ordening to get what I paid for“
