8 Best Delis in Schenectady

“The store is aptly named and was indeed a 'Joy' to visit. After losing the Italian deli in Saratoga that I've patronized for many years to a buyer from Albany that doesn't even answer the phone, I began a search for a true Italian deli. When I walked into La Gioia I knew I had found what I was looking for. The aroma of Italy in the air, the hustle bustle of a staff serving with professional knowledge, courtesy, and a neat and clean appearance so rare today, and shelves and cases filled with all the Mediterranean delicacies imaginable, made me realize the true gem I discovered. This was a wonderful epiphany for me; I smiled all the way home 30 miles away.“

“great catering food ,sausage and peppers, meatballs and Lasagna“

“So glad I found this gem!
I thought they would be good based on reviews and pictures, but not this good!
I got the Roma and creamy chicken and rice soup and it was delicious ?

They also have gluten free bread, which is greatly appreciated!

This is easily one of my favorite sandwich places around.“

“A good store to go to“

“This is my local Bodega and honestly I absolutely love it! Super close to my home and it's always very clean in there. The owner is super nice themselves and I highly recommend it if you need a quick snack or drink or cigarettes or even novelty candy items that are highly affordable and cute“

“not too far from work and definitely the best bacon, egg & cheese I've had in a long time. looking forward to grabbing a chicken over rice next visit.“

“Neighborhood isn't "up to par" but that isnt their fault, really a friendly place and the neighborhood isnt all that bad as long as you aren't judgmental. If you're there to shop and not make a scene, ur in the green.“
