What a treasure Heavy Metal Sausage Co is in Philly. They make traditional full flavor meats and bread. Their speciality Zungenblutwurst (pork blood, tongue, skin sausage) is an oasis in the bland desert of modern American cuisine. Their bread is made from daily fresh hand ground wheat. Ramp sausage and many options made from duck and goose parts has me sold on this place. Hope many more chefs and restaurants follow this revolt against Sugar/Salt/Butter and get back to flavor.

Couldn’t be luckier that this place exists 5 minutes away from me. The food is so creative and high quality. The owners are such pleasant people and you can tell they are both knowledgable and passionate about what they do. I’ll never buy sausages/cold cuts from commercial stores again. Long live Heavy Metal ??

My wife and I had dinner here and the experience was phenomenal. We sat at the chef counter and enjoyed amazing food throughout the entire 4 course meal. Such a unique experience and the food is outstanding! We will definitely be coming back soon.

Everything is amazing. There's no wrong order for sandwiches or take home.

The best Deli in Philly you can find really unique and interesting meats that you can't find anywhere else. Quality is rule number 1 it seems . Be sure to get one of their sandwiches or entrees as well. You won't wanna miss this!

Fantastic food with almost all local ingredients. A lovely prix fixe experience with only three tables and a kitchen counter. The service was intimate and super friendly. Some amazingly creative and well-executed creations done very rustically. Highly recommend it.

The trattoria experience is absolutely wonderful and completely unique! It is such a fun and cozy space with just incredible food. Every course was delicious and made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. I got to try many things I normally wouldn't think to order but ended up loving all of it. Such a fun night! Bring wine!
I wanted to purchase sausages from the deli; however, when I arrived a sign indicated they were temporarily closed due to a broken water heater. After telling the person that opened the door I had traveled a ways no accommodation was made other than "sorry". Sure, I understand you can't predict such malfunctions, but couldn't the sausages in refrigeration be sold?Moreover, parking in South Philly is a disaster. Since the 90's when I first started going there it's gotten progressively worse and you can factor in 15 min to find a place within a few blocks of your target destination. Just not worth it if you're driving in from outside the neighborhood.

Crazy meats you never thought you would have the courage to eat!!!

Amazing! House made everything. Capicola was unreal. Foie terrine was perfect. Ciabatta was crusty and light. Can't wait for them to open Thursday so I can try more.

Lovely, welcoming service in this neighborhood butcher/corner shop in South Philadelphia: we stopped by for sandwiches and came away with sausage and bread, too. Loved that we could order from the selective menu or build our own sandwich/plate with their offerings. The pickled carrots were a surprising treat--and that's said as a non-carrot lover! Highly recommend!
