Random how I found this little jewel in S. Hackensack. I have been on a hunt for a new italian deli since moving from JC. (Yes, its been a while since I moved.) I found a solid chx cutlet place but still hadn't found my cold cut deli with good fresh mozz. I bought a random pastry at Maywood market and saw the name and after a simple google search found out the origins of the yummy pastry also makes sandwiches! Since I found out about this place, I've been stopping by every other week. Oh, I tried to go more frequently but a few times they were closed. So for those we are venturing out, make sure they are open before you go. I'm still trying things out so can't give a full verdict but so far it makes me want to come back to try other items so that's a good sign. read more

Clemente Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

An absolute home run spot. Clemente has a lot to offer, but I come for the sandwiches. Best mozzarella in town, and their bread is insanely good too. I got a prosciutto de Parma sandwich with their famous mozzarella. Still thinking about this sandwich it was that good. Had to try the St Joseph pastry. It was pretty good, but I did get the custard option. I'd be interested in trying the cannoli version. And I will be back soon. For sure. read more

Clemente Bakery - Prosciutto and Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

See all

Delicious Italian treats - definitely get the fresh mozzarella, and a loaf of prosciutto Lard bread to go!

Food is delicious. Workers are fantastic. Management, you need to fix the following. A year ago my usual sandwich cost $9.00 today it cost me $15.00 for 5 slices of parmacotte, 3 slices of Genoa and 3 slices of provolone on the large flat white bread, when a year ago I was getting more meat!! Are you kidding me. My suggestion to the future deli goer, buy by the 1/4 pound and get some bread, be hell of a lot cheaper. My buddy did that and ended up getting almost 3 sandwiches from it. read more

I'm holding off on 5 stars only because I've not tried their sweet baking. The deli and bread are brilliant. Sandwiches are big but the price can rack up pretty quick if you are adding a lot of extras to your sandwich Eating in is... ok but so much more pleasure in getting the meat, bread and cheese from the deli counter and taking it home. The fresh mozzarella is my favourite and just typing up the review I'm wondering if I can convince my husband to bring me some home read more

Clemente Bakery - Fresh Mozzarella and Capicolla - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

Bakeries are magical places; where toasty scents of freshly crisped loaves waft in the morning breeze like a butterfly on thermals. It was once called "Central Bakery" back when I remember it; an obscure destination for bread cognoscenti and resellers alike. Many would wait on line here at 5am for the first warm semolina loaves to hit the racks -- and breathe deeply while anticipating that first crunchy bite. My bread never made it home intact. I pinched and snagged a hunk of this or a piece of that and left a mangled pile of paper bags, bread and crumbs behind. Known today as Clemente's, this industrial sized bread baking operation located in an obscure industrial section of South Hackensack has gone upscale -- sporting salumeria and pizzeria appendages, a full dining area and humongous Mortadella's hanging from the ceiling. But the quality of the bread, focaccia and cookies remains as it once was -- the star of the show -- and my main reason for shopping here. I especially like their plum tomato focaccia -- which is resold by many Italian supermarkets and deli's in the region, including such places as Corrado's and A&N. The trick is to get the focaccia fresh here -- rather than several days old (which is usually the case if you buy from the resellers). Come early for the bread, and certainly stay for the condiments. You won't be disappointed. read more

So I was feeling an Italian deli sandwich and this place popped up. Came in at 9:30am and ordered the Clemente Special with hot peppers and sharp provolone. The guy working the sandwich counter was friendly enough. Everything was sliced fresh and the sandwich was built completely from scratch. Their house made bread is great, extra crusty, with just enough of a soft inside. Meats and cheeses complemented each other well. Problem with this place, the women running the register are not as friendly as the sandwich guy. I wanted to try their chocolate or cheese croissant, but she said they were out. But at least they have a seating section, unlike Andrea Salumeria in JC. I opted to try a chocolate chip cookie. They have two kinds, one in a jar, one in a case. I asked her what the difference was, and she said the ones in the jar last forever. Which made me wonder how long they'd been in that jar. Needless to say, I took the cookie in the case and it sucked. Extra crunchy, not soft, and it tasted burnt. I'm skeptical about their baked goods, but I do like their sandwiches. read more

Clemente Bakery - Clemente Special - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

First, good luck finding this place -- tucked away in an industrial part of South Hackensack. But, alas, upon discovering this gem you'll learn yet another reason why living in northern NJ is so incredible -- foodwise -- not to mention a main source of blame for my continuing battle of the bulge (I still look good, though). Walk to the deli counter and order the Proscuitto di Parma, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers sandwich with a bit of balsamic vinegar on the bread. Heaven on Earth! And, please -- when in Rome....try to pronounce the food as if you were Italian, or a "Joisey" Italian. I'm not Italian but living here all of my life I've sort of developed a certain swag that may qualify as being Italian (probably not - my wife reminds me all the time of my inferiority, that is, not being Italian). Anyway, it's "pro-shoot-oh dee Parm", "moohtz-a-ell" and peppers. Otherwise, the nice grey-haired paisano behind the counter has every right to kick your a** back to "pennsyl-tucky" where you came from. Got it? Good. Only kidding -- they're very accommodating to all walks-of-life. As for some Yelpers stating the woman behind the cash register is cranky - they don't get it. You're there because of word of mouth or Yelp so you're already part of their extended family so who needs the niceties? Just get on with it and make the purchase already. For the sweet tooth, the cannolis are good (nothing beat Rispoli's though) but here the "sweet calzones" are terrific. They call 'em something else but my wife and I refer to them as such from Clemente's days back in Hudson County when they were "Central Bakery" -- that I'm told is what they were called in the old days. Most of the folks behind the counter know what we're referring to so you're OK if you call them sweet calzones too. Try them. So many other choices here at the deli counter, bread stand and hot buffet. Great place to try an assortment of Italian delicacies over-and-over. Mangia! (pronounced: "Maahnnnggg" -- a north Jersey bastardization of the word, if you would be so kind to forgive). read more

Outstanding Italian deli! Molto buono! The words homemade, family, and delightful come to mind when I think of Clemente Bakery. It is more than a deli because they have hot food, pastries, groceries, different types of breads including focaccia, and specialty dishes. They also do catering and special bread orders. This is a nice deli with plenty of tables to dine in and enjoy your favorite Italian treats. This is a family-owned business in which you can see the entire family working together. The rest of the staff has been working there for many years. I lived in the area years ago and this was my favorite stop every day. Now I must to stop there every time I visit New Jersey. Prices are very reasonable, so I laugh when I see people complaining about "high prices." They would have a hard time ordering a sandwich in Miami, which usually starts at $10.95 for a regular panini. I miss Clemente's. The ladies at the counter are friendly and knowledgeable. In my experience, they can also be fun. It is nice to see a family so united (althought I can't imagine working with my parents or relatives all day long). It probably isn't easy. Nor is it easy to keep up with such a big and elaborated business, but these ladies are there everyday from very early in the morning to make sure all the delicious food is well prepared and all the merchandise is in order. Clemente's is a big store with counters of food and a small market. It is a one-stop place where you can get everything you need - from a hot lunch, to all the ingredients you need to make an authentic Italian home cooked meal. The ladies can give you recommendations on almost everything because they are very proud of their products. They also make amazing cappuccinos. The bread and focaccia are delightful and very authentic to the Puglia region of Italy, specifically Bari. They offer an extensive selection of delicious oven-baked Barese breads and foccacias. Pizzas are made from scratch. Taralli and pastries are also very good especially when they make seasonal treats like zeppoles. Pastas and other hot dishes including risotto, veal, chicken, and beef, change daily, and Fridays they usually prepare seafood. They also include one of their delicious bread rolls with almost every dish. In the deli section, they have the guys making delicious subs. One of my favorites is the Clemente special with ham, salami, pepperoni and fresh mozzarella in a crunchy hero. You can add some delicious roasted peppers and sundries tomatoes for an extra charge. Did I mention that they make fresh mozzarella daily. It is to die for. They also do catering, which I have ordered in numerous times and it has always been well prepared and on time. I personally love the fact that almost everyone speaks Italian. It gives it that extra "je ne sais quoi" to this lovely establishment. :) It can be hard to find this bakery because it is in an industrial area, but if you are in Bergen County and love Italian food you should do yourself a favor and put it on your GPS. It is a must try! It gets VERY busy during lunch hours so once you get to know the menu it is better to call ahead and make your order by phone to pick up later that way you avoid some waiting in line. Buon appetito!!! Say ciao to the Clementes for me ;) read more

Best customer service and food. good customer service. Had a minor problem with an Uber delivery but Julia took care of it right away and made sure another order was sent to me.

This used to be one of my favorite sub shops in Bergen County but since my last visit 8 months ago their prices have gone up by 30% at least. Their menu has also changed for the worse. The guy making my sandwich had trouble figuring out the ingredients in it. Still a decent sandwich but not at those prices. read more

want legit ? this place is legit. Old school so maybe every snowflake out there might not appreciate what a gem this is. The sandwiches are amazing. They are a bakery so the bread is your typical jersey expected great italian... but even fresher. You know the bread, sesame seeds, almost tooth cracking hard on the out, soft as a pillow on the inside... and it can hold sauce. Just a basic mozz and ham (or any given meat) is heaven. It is all fresh and true. This is not a cookie cutter place, it is the way I grew up thinking and experiencing a family place. Perfect? No.. Perfect for what it is and represents ? Yes. Don't do the picture thing, the instagram thing, the whatever... just go get a sandwich, something basic. The basic here is a base line for the quality... and you want to taste that. Go there to take something out and eat... forget about everything else. read more

Was I scouring the underbelly of industrial South Hackensack on the hunt for a bakery just because they have the same name as my father? (Yup.) You open the doors (hopefully you have better luck with which door to use) and... it's a little slice of Paradiso. The sights and smells are intoxicating and I already knew my credit card would be getting a workout by the time we were done in here. From breads to pastas to salads to sausage to sandwiches to free samples (my kids seemed to hang around that table an awfully long time!) to drinks... they have all sorts of delights. (Including Nutella's "B'ready" - something I never saw before but the rest of my family loved and devoured as soon as we got home.) Their Clemente sandwich was delicious. Not sure if it could knock out the "#1 Italian" at Cappelluti's Deli in Kearny or Cosmo's special in Hackensack as my favorite... but it's a serious contender. (Did we goof up and attempt to leave using the wrong door as well? Yup!) One issue: the guy who helped us with sandwiches and cheeses... snippy with a chip on his shoulder. I'm placing a decent order and trying to make sure two 9-year-olds get exactly the correct sandwiches... I deserve some latitude with your attitude. read more

This is a great place to come for all of your Italian deli needs! They have fresh mozzarella cheese, amazing sandwiches, bread, pastries, pizzas, and imported goods from Italy! Friendly staff and amazing service! They offer you samples of their famous mozzarella cheese, and if you order deli meats like mortadella they give you a sample of that as well. They grate you fresh Romano and Parmesan cheese as well. They will slice tour hard Italian sausage for you too. This deli is well organized, I came on Christmas Eve and received great service with little to no wait. If you need delicious fresh Italian deli meats come here! If you want great cheese, come here! If you want great seafood and sandwiches, come here! Thanks Clemente! read more

I am baffled that I noted today the same sandwich I purchased 3 times, same size, same cold cuts and add ons has been 3 different prices over the past 6 weeks. I paid 12.00, 14.00 and 17.00 and the same angry sandwich maker made it all 3 times. Could he be weighing the sandwich for a price????? The sandwich was okay but I need to monitor the price every time. I don't want to be rude but how do you address this????? read more

Don't go in hungry you will need a dump truck to take home everything in site everything is fantastic it's a must go to

Visited today for the first time. Excellent sandwich. Place was clean. Employees were nice and eager to help. Ordered a Clemente Special sandwich and it was excellent. Fresh bread, flavorful meats and thick cuts of fresh mozzarella. Thanks guys! read more

Clemente Bakery - This is the My Cousin Vinny Hero - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

It is with a heavy heart that i write this. this place has become incredibly dishonest with their pricing. They consistently add $.50-$2.00 to every item you order. If on the pricing board, their Small "Clemente Special" sandwich costs $7.50, but when the guy makes it, the pricing label he puts on it says $8.00, that's is dishonest. This occurred multiple times Again, on the pricing board, a small "chicken cutlet" sandwich costs $7.00, but when the guy makes it, the pricing label he puts on it says $9.00, that's dishonest. and to clarify, these sandwiches were ordered with no extras or add-ons put on them. So beware of their shady pricing practices. Shame shame shame. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for 8 years now and I stop in a few times per month. My review of the place is honestly 5 stars, but hopefully this gets the attention of management because I'm really tired of ordering a sandwich and having the people behind the counter make up a price based on how they're feeling at that moment. You have a digital menu on tv screens. If your pricing increases / decreases for certain items / sandwiches then adjust it accordingly. I've paid 6 different prices for the same sandwich over the past 3 months, but today was just ridiculous. I ordered a full sized domestic prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich, which is $9.50 on your tv menu right in front of the counter, and I added roasted peppers. The guy hands me my sandwich and I walk around the store thinking I may buy something else, but then I look at the sticker and see $14 for my sandwich. So I'm thinking I was just charged $4.50 to add roasted peppers to my sandwich. I go back and say I think you guys made a mistake on the pricing. Explained what I ordered and the response was "O yeah that menu isn't accurate, pricing went up". I left it alone, paid for my sandwich, and l left. This happens all the time here. Either it's false advertising or your employees are given authorization to charge whatever they'd like. Either way it's not right. If you read this review and plan on stopping here for a bite to eat, TAKE MY ADVICE......... I'd recommend asking upfront what your sandwich / item is going to cost before you place the order so there's no confusion over what you're about to pay. Food is excellent though, just be aware the pricing on the menu is most likely not what you're about to pay when you checkout. read more

This place is awesome. I walk in and I can feel the Italian. I like that they had samples set up everywhere, like an Italian costco. I got eh clemente special, everything was fresh, and I loved the mutz. The bread was crunchy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Their stuffed breads and baked goods are very good. I tried a espresso cheesecake, a nutella stuffed bread, and a stuffed bread with olive. It was all outrageous. They also sell some grocery items, as well as frozen pizza, ravioli, and sauces. I will be back for more. read more

My family and I have been going here for a long time now. You would never expect this great place to be situated in the heart of an industrial/warehouse district, but it is and it's very welcoming inside. The name implies something that it is not. This is a full-on Italian mini market with several specialty areas. Their bread is amazing, but the olive or meat breads are particularly amazing. Their sandwiches are also excellent. You can buy pasta, pastries, coffee, Italian groceries, etc. here, as well. The place is spotless. Pizza is also good! Recommended! read more

I'm so sorry my husband dragged me to this place for pastries. Maybe because I spend my summers in Italy, this is why I get so upset when I walk into an establishment that is selling straight garbage. Dust off the pasta boxes, and have a little pride in the place. When you box up cookies for someone to bring home, inspect the box first. Mybox was ripped. How am I bringing this to someone's house for TG. I told my husband not to bring me here after we got pizza from this place a couple of months ago. It was inedible. Pizza from Chuckie Cheese is better. Very disappointed as per usual. Are there any more REAL Italian bakeries anymore? We were better off buying entemanns cookies. Gross. read more

Absolutely amazing! My boss asked me to get a lunch order catered for the office at the very last minute & a lot of places turned me down because it was less than 24 hours notice. My husband told me to try Clemente's. I called them at 7am asking about a lunch order for noon & they said absolutely no problem & worked with me in detail about my order. When it came to picking it up, everything was packaged safely & one of the workers actually walked with me to my car to help me travel back to the office with the order. We got 2 trays of sandwiches/wraps, a garden salad with dressing & they threw it cookies for no charge at all. My boss & his boss were totally impressed with the quality of the food. So much so that she said she might come visit again very soon just so we can get the same food ordered!! Clemente's has our office's business. Professional & punctual - highly recommend them for your office lunches and catering needs. read more

If it wasn't for Yelp I would have never of found this place and I live within 2 miles of it. It is in the industrial area of south Hackensack so even as my navigation was bringing me to it I thought there was no way it was in the right spot. Even then I though it must be in some old building that looks run down and will be impossible to find. WOW, I was wrong. This place jumps out at you when you get close to it. the inside was very well lit and very clean. The make all there own bread and pastries, along with pizza and any Italian deli product you need. They have a huge selection of fresh meats and traditional Italian salads. If you work in this area it would be ideal for a lunch stop. My wife kept telling me to get the prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich and I am glad I did. The bread is made on the premises so its really fresh. The mozzarella is really really thick, its more like chunks of cheese. It was fantastic. There is a good size table area with a few TVs if you decide to eat there. read more

You would be surprised that they actually have everything you need! I went for cold cuts and left with my cold cuts, a gallon of OJ, and chestnuts! We are obsessed with their Thumans turkey (sliced thin!).. They also now offer Gluten Free wraps! The guys behind the counter are so funny and helpful! I love that they carry Vitamia raviolis! Could get expensive, but it is Always a treat coming here. read more

A big thank you to Jarrett's review for introducing me to Central Bakery. I feel like I have discovered some covert Italian deli that requires a secret handshake just to gain entrance to! It's just that good!! My husband is a prosciutto connoisseur and I have been known to travel quite a distance to purchase fresh mozzarella. Well, it looks like I will be driving to an industrial area in South Hackensack for all future purchases of these two items. 1. Prosciutto de Parma.......best I have ever had. A gorgeous rosy meat that was thinly sliced. It had the perfect silken texture and a complex, faintly salty flavor that just dissolves into richness on the tongue. Enjoyed this paired with sweet cantalope for one of the best appetizers ever created. 2. Mozzarella: not dry or rubbery but richest & creamiest homemade mozzarella I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Together with a Beefsteak tomato from my garden....the ultimate taste sensation. Central bakery-Clemente Bakery has a huge deli counter, home made semolina bread for their sandwiches. They also have a large dry goods section (imported Italian pastas, cookies, etc). A freezer case contained homemade tomato sauces. I will definitely be back to try out more of their items. Oh, and right next to me, ordereing a grilled chicken on semolina with roasted peppers/fresh mozzarella/balsamic vinegar.....South Hackensack Police Officer. Damn, the cops really do know all the best places to eat. read more

WOW... Did not expect to get such a great sandwich. Freshest mozzarella I've ever tasted and the bread was fantastic. Kinda makes me mad to think I have eaten sandwiches in my life where the bread sucked. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and balsamic. So good. I also saw these yummy looking peppers stuffed with bread crumbs, anchovies, and cheese so I asked him to toss a few of them into a container. GLAD I did that because they ROCK. Also asked for a small container of sun-dried tomatoes. Very flavorful and soft - they way I like them. I originally came to this town to try another deli that happened to be closed, so I yelped this one being that it was the closest in range. So glad it led me here! =) I did have to wait on line for a while, but there really was not rush. SUPER AUTHENTIC place too. read more

Tried this place today for the first time. I got 2 sandwiches and some salads and pastries It looked nice and was clean. Employees were nice... just not impressed with the food.

I died and went to heaven when I had there hero today. I had there absolutely mouthwatering homemade mozzarella on a crispy yet buttery sub with chicken cutlet and some artichokes with sun dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers. I swear this sandwich came from heaven and dropped into my life. This was the best hero I had yet. Highly recommend. Had the tuna fish my niece ate up in two seconds. Will be back soon and bring my husband to show him how a real sandwich is supposed to taste. read more

I had a meeting in the area, and looked on yelp for a place to get a quick bite and some caffeine. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try Clemente. I wasn't sure if the location, as it seems to be in the middle of a commercial/industrial area, but so many tellers couldn't be wrong... so decided to go in. So glad i did. This was confirmed as soon as I walked in, and heard the staff speaking to each other in Italian. It's one of those things... I don't know the language... but I can tell when someone is speaking it. Their sausage and egg sandwich is just amazing. But it's nothing compared to their focaccia. Topped with crushed tomatoes... I could eat one every day. I have also had some of their pasta dishes, all of them being good. We did enjoy their eggplant rollitini. Their sandwiches are also great.... the Clemente special (variation on an Italian sandwich) is great. Sausage bread is ok... as is the pepperoni bread. They even have pizza, which I may have to try one day. The place is also more of a deli than a bakery... and they sell a lot of nice pastas that you can take home to cook. Finally, their cappuccino... delicious... comes with some cinnamon, and they use illy coffee. You can't go wrong. read more

Clemente Bakery - Next time... check to see if the container is plastic or foil... before ordering anything with sauce. - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

I'm sure this place taste good and it looks real authentic. I posted a pic of my sandwich, it's all broken and looks a mess. It gets 2 stars for that alone. I haven't even bit into the sandwich, no clue where to start. How could you even serve this to a customer? You clearly saw it like that when you wrapped the sandwich. So like I said, probably taste good, but presentation is the worst! I get better presentation at subway!!!! If I lived closer, I'd take it back. Ok, so I tried to eat this and it was a complete fail. The bread was hard and falling apart to the point where I had to put the sandwich on bread I had in the house. The second pic I posted proves that. I can honestly say I will never eat at this place again. Sad, because it looks like a nice place. The lady that made my mothers sandwich, made the sandwich perfectly. The guy who made mine, complete fail! So I changed it to 1 star! read more

This place is kinda off the beaten path in an industrial area of town. Walked in and went with the Clemente special without knowing what was in it. Mutz was delicious, but the ham, salami and pepperoni were just ok. Too bad it wasn't capi and sopressata, no idea why a sandwich with the name on it wouldn't be the good stuff. Got a few bakery items as well. Everything was just ok, nothing mind blowing. I didn't love the italian rainbow cookies, but the cannoli cream was thick and good. Decent local option but not worth traveling far out of your way to get here. read more

Beware! Clemente Bakery will charge you a service fee for paying with American Express credit card. There was no sign notification when I made my charge (perhaps they will put out a sign after this review) and only realized it when the amount I signed for was different than the amount the clerk told me was my order total. They list the credit card usage fee on the receipt as "cash discount" but if you add up the items and tax on the receipt you will see that it's not a discount but a fee. Very sleazy. Food was ok, prices very high. I won't be back. read more

I went to Clemente's today for the first time. There wasn't much of a pastry selection. They had decent looking cookie selection. I got some canolli. They were fresh but I found it a little sweet. My mom liked it but she like anything Italian lol. The salads looked suspect. I don't understand why they use carrots in mushroom salad and seafood salad. That's really turned me off. The stuffed peppers with cheese and prosciutto looked old. They were very faded In color and looked old. I got some mozzarella ball salad. That was the only one that looked good. It was ok nothing great. A little bland but ok I guess. Nothing compared to Latona's in Garfield. Latona's everything looks and tastes better than the next. I guess always having access to the best sets the bar kind of high. I read below that the sandwich is massive. Ummmm I see two maybe four pieces of meat. I guess low expectations is a good thing to some. read more
