Hadn't been here in years, but was in the area and popped in to buy some Italian specialties. I'm so glad I did. Their food is exactly as I remember, some of the best meats around. The homemade sausage, both pork and chicken are outstanding. Looking forward to stopping in to grab everything for my Memorial Day weekend! Do yourself a favor and head to this old school gem! read more

The chicken cutlet hero with mozzarella, broccoli rabe, sun-dried tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar was out of this world, very fresh and juicy. Service was excellent I also ordered the rare roast beef which was good. read more

On Father's Day we took a culinary tour of New Jersey. I found A&C on Yelp and knew we had to try it. Absolute old school perfection. Cool selection of Italian dry goods and baked goods but the main event is the glistening case of pork products. We went with a pound of sweet sausage with fennel seeds and a pound of hot sausage. My wife turned that into a delicious sausage and peppers meal. Thanks to A&C we started with great ingredients. With cooking that's at least half the battle. Everything in the store looked great! We'll be back! read more

If you like Italian food this place can not be missed. Aldo & Antonio are craftsman in the art of producing fine Italian specialties. They do their own butchering on the premises and produce fresh and dry sausages which include sopressata and store made pancetta. They are full service butchers that produce the total gamet of meats from beef, lamb and even rabbit. Their sandwiches are stacked with meat. The prices are reasonable considering the quality. One-half ($10), a whole sandwich ($18-$20). A half of a sandwich is equal to a whole sandwich many other places. Aside from their meat selection, they make their own braided mozzarella hourly. Twelve varieties of cheeses, stuffed breads, fresh pasta salades, many varieties of olives , olive oils, San Marzano tomatoes and sfogliatella are some of the other items available. These guys are helpful when it comes to servicing their customers. They realize not everyone is Italian so they have a friendly attitude in guiding their customers selections. They are a gem in the community. read more

Old school deli's are my favorite! This is one of them. It is located on the end of a strip mall so you have to know it is there. It looks and feels like a proper deli. The good news is the food also hits like a proper deli. The little joe which was chicken cutlet, mozzarella, sundries tomatoes with a touch of balsamic was delicious. The bread is the star of the show as well. Lovely sandwich. The eggplant parmigna also was good. A lot of thin layers of eggplant without it being mushy. Wish there was more sauce. I was surprised they didn't have a ton of hot food. Maybe it was the end of the day. Anyway, I would come back and try other sandwiches. Love finding these gems. read more

The best and most Italian deli you will ever go to. The owner is an awesome guy and is straight out of good fellas. Phenomenal food and even better service. read more

This place is fantastic!!! Sandwiches are the best around...nobody in the area comes close. Sausages and meats are also incredible and always fresh. Their homemade soppressata is the best dry salami you can get in this area without heading into NYC. Homemade mozzarella is beyond perfect and on par if not better than most places around. read more

A & C Pork Store - a variety of meats - Meat Shops Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

My old boss put me on to this store for lunch and then I never stopped going there because the food is so damn good. You can't go to many spots now and get a huge (delicious) sandwich with freshly sliced cold cuts and cooked foods for 7-8$ but here you can. If you're looking for a place to eat at? Probably not, they do have 2 small tables in the store but if you get there around lunch, chances are they already taken so consider this a take place/place to buy meats and Italian delicacies. My go to sandwiches here are the Italian and chicken and fresh mozzarella subs, both are delicious and the other items I've tried have never disappointed. Great for a sandwich, dinner or a family party. Check them out! read more

First time here! Great little old school butcher shop. Super fresh products. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning to try out other products read more

Disgusting! Went in to order a sandwich. Saw the guy touching everything without gloves! This after watching him touching everything around him. Canceled my ordered while he was making it. Yuck! I even asked him no gloves? He said no! Wow. Ok. Never walking in here again!!!! read more

The sausages here are fantastic. They are significantly better than anything you'll find in a grocery store. The owners are very knowledgeable and eager to help. This is also a great place for a sandwich during lunchtime. Plenty of parking and prices are very affordable. A neighborhood gem in Paterson. read more

After reading the poor reviews, I decided to visit anyway. I was shocked at how wrong those reviews were. Come to find out, these were NEW OWNERS. What a pleasant visit. I was greeted as I entered with a warm "Hello" and the butchers behind the counter were fantastic. It took me an hour to get to the shop but the trip was well worth it. I will be back. A GREAT PLACE!!!! read more

Always a hit, and I feel like I'm in Sicily when I come In. Unique food items. Cookies, drinks and all kinds of deli foods. Why go anywhere when you can order food here? Sandwiches to go? Ground beef? It's all perfection. read more

Located in the Hillcrest section of Paterson. Not far from Wayne, Totowa. Definitely give them a try for your special meat that you can't find at your local supermarket. They also carry imported Italian specialties. read more

Sandwiches are phenomenal. I've been looking for an excellent Italian deli that knows how to not disappoint with their sandwiches.

I know of 3 pork stores in northern NJ. One is in West Paterson, one is in Nutley and this one is in Paterson. I have tried them all and this store is superior by far. The food, prices and service are exceptional. I really enjoy coming here not only for the quality sandwiches (you must try the Michelangelo) but also for the friendly conversation. This store even has a nice place to sit in the back of you want to have your lunch. I worked in Paterson for many years and I go back regularly for the sandwiches. read more

This place is literally second to none. Your are treated with respect and the deli,meats and mozzarella are amazing !!!

Folks this is the most expensive place to order food. Order sandwiches about 12 orders size 6 in long, 2 thin pieces of chicken, two slices of cheese, the bread was harder than a rock and the total was $170. 00 horrible experience would never do that again. People say don't put a price on your stomach but when they give you more bread than meat very very bad for business. read more

Living in Syracuse,NY we do not have any good old school pork stores. My brothers and I go to a Mets(eff the Yankees) game every year. We normally stay in NJ for better hotel rates. We like finding these places for good sandwiches. This place was aces. The man behind the counter very friendly. We got 3 different sandwiches. They use really good Italian bread. I had a mortadella, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella on mine. This thing was loaded with meat I could of used it for 2 sandwiches. My brother for a chicken cutlet and it was very good. My nephew has sopressata and Mozzarella. All the sandwiches were huge, fresh and great. Prices are reasonable. I wish we were in town longer because I would love to try all the homemade sausages and mets they have. We will be back. read more

Place is great been going to this place for years . Old school pork store enough said . When you know you know .

Had the Cheese & parsley tonight. GUESS what NO CHEESE NO PARSLEY. BRONX HERE I COME. They should make this place a bowling alley, TERRIBLE is way too kind. read more

Love this place. My husband and I formerly went to A&S in Wycoff, but refused to go back after being charged $8.00 for burnt broccoli. I don't mind paying for quality food, but this was outrageous. After this debacle, we went to A&C in Patterson and are so happy we did. The employees are incredibly friendly, the prices are reasonable and the food is fantastic. We often come here before holidays for our meat AND we enjoy their sandwiches. Their sandwiches are delicious- plenty of meat, fresh mozzarella and excellent bread. Also, it is incredibly clean in the store- which is MUST for me. I look forward to giving our business to A&C for many years to come. read more

This is a great Italian market. Very high quality products. Most of everything is made in house so you will always get the best. I was lucky enough to get some fresh mozzarella that was still warm when I brought it home........ Omg is all I can say. read more

A & C Pork Store - So fresh. - Meat Shops Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

This is definitely a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The sandwiches are great. The cured meats are perfect. The fresh mozz tastes awesome and is a little spongy in texture. The bread is fresh, with a harder exterior and soft and chewy on the inside. The Godfather and the basic Italian Stallion sandwiches are my personal favorites here. The service is always friendly. I've had a couple of mistakes on my order in the past, but nothing they weren't prepared to help rectify on the spot. Humble customer service is hard to come by in locally-owned North Jersey shops, but the employees here are very friendly and really care. The sausage and other cuts of meat behind the glass always looks tempting to buy, and I will definitely try them in the near future. If anything notable is to be said, I will update my review when the time comes. The store itself has great authentic imported Italian fare, and I've bought 00 pizza flour and other rare ingredients that can't be found in regular supermarkets. I believe the name for this store is really A&C Italian Pork Store, not A&S. There is an A&S Pork Store in Woodland Park, with an identical menu, but for some reason their prices are inflated for the same sandwiches and quality, only with a more surly staff. Quality, prices, and friendly service are definitely worth a trip to this particular location. I definitely recommend. read more

This place was originally A&S pork store and has been there for a more years than I can recall.I remember when the store was changing owners I was concerned the quality would not be the same or the friendly staff would change. Much to my surprise the new owners are as good if not better than before.The staff is outstanding and they are always looking to help with whatever you need . I am also very pleased to say that the quality is the best you can find any where. I have been coming here since I was a kid (Which was many years ago),but I still look forward to my trip to this store for all sorts of deliciousness. Thank you for making this a place to visit for years to come. read more

I am writing this review as a follow up to my previous experience gained at A&C Pork Store. sophia lauren remains my sandwich of choice and I seems to remain that way. Yes, Ive tried others and they are all delicious, but giving my love for broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella, sophia lauren stands out the most for me. Picky with how I like it prepared, and finding the right person to make it, I always return for it. Today I decided to try their eggplant parmesan and it was pretty tasty. Traditional taste and not as oily. Prices are really hard to debate mainly because of the quality of their food is really good. I hope to return to A&C soon and try more foods on their menu. If not, I know the alternative. I believe A&C gives a good presentation and it embraces that Italian style vibe. After recently coming back from rome, I see a similarity thats close enough. read more

Everything here is simply delicious. The chicken sausage is to die for. But the fresh mozzarella is the best ANYWHERE!! You MUST come here and try it. It's worth a drive as well. read more

Enjoyed a nice chicken cutlet, mozzarella and roasted red peppers sandwich. Very nice place to pick up fresh meat for dinner or pick up a sandwich. They have an assortment of different imported canned goods and also some to-go containers of their sauces and chili in the freezer at the back of the store. All in all, great, fresh sandwiches. read more

The best sandwiches around. My favorite is the Godfather which is comprised of prosciutto, ham, cappicole & fresh mozzerella. Very friendly & truly an authentic Italian Pork Store. read more

Old-time Italian deli where quality food, excellent and friendly service are paramount. I drive over a half hour to get here, which is well worth the trip. The hot sopressata is just about as good as my grandmother's, the mozzarella is the best I have ever had (in the US or in Italy) and the steaks are terrific. I have had sandwiches here, too, and they are really quite good. The fact that many customers have been coming here for years (and some for several decades) is testament to the overall quality of A&C. read more

2 sandwiches , fresh bread, yummy ingredients, and huuuuuge. We got the chicken cutlet with fresh mozz and broccoli rabe and the hot ham, hot capicola, provolone with hot peppers. Got the whole sandwich for both but a half is more than enough. Really the whole is like getting 2 sandwiches. Each half is wrapped separately and cut in half so we had 8 sandwiches. More than enough for 3 people. And leftovers. Awesome ingredients.The provolone on the hot one was perfect. The sharp stuff, not the bland stuff usually passed off as provolone. When you walk in, it smells like heaven, the way an Italian deli should smell. Deliciousness. Friendly staff, also a nice selection of prepared foods, fresh meats, and Italian goodies. A gem from the good old days. read more

Tried this pork store after searching for years in Northern NJ for a reliable place for Italian specialties. A&C is awesome. Highly recommended. read more

Fresh homemade ground pork or chicken sausage, beef, veal and even Rabbit for those who missed the hunting season. You can eat in or take out and they also provide outstanding catering for all your special events. They make all their dried sausages there and will make any specialty item at your request. So whether you're looking to make grandma's homemade pasta sauce and need quality ingredients or you're in the mood to make chicken parmesan or even get yourself a roastbeef and swiss sandwich on a soft fresh keiser roll, they have it all. My personal favorites are their delicious chicken meatballs, their incredible tuna salad, potato salad, pasta salad. My daughters favorite are their mini mozzerella balls, green olives and cherry tomatoes with just a hint of 100% pure virgin olive oil and their absolutely fantasic Lasangne. I'm always there to pick up some fresh homemade hot sausage links and La Fede hot marinara sauce for my spaghetti. I recommend ordering one of their many specialty subs. Mmmmm Yummy! And don't forget to try their hot soups this Fall. Well worth the trip! Enjoy!!!! Now that's a spicy meatball!!! read more
