DeRocco's in Naugatuck IS pound for pound, my favorite restaurant in the area. I don't say that…read morelightly -- I say it with the confidence of a man who has lived most of his life in NJ and eaten his way through half of Connecticut. Yesterday the Taylor ham was back (cue the heavenly choir), so I did what any self‑respecting Jersey transplant would do: I ordered a classic Taylor ham, egg, and cheese -- salt, pepper, ketchup, of course. And because I've committed to trying something new each visit, I doubled down with an everything bagel stacked with onion, tomato, and honey habanero cream cheese. Unreal. Like, "I need a moment alone with this bagel" unreal. I love this place. The staff. The vibe. The food. The whole thing just hits. It's the kind of spot I openly warn friends and family about -- not because it's dangerous, but because I would go every single day if I didn't physically restrain myself. DeRocco's is my personal breakfast kryptonite. Important note for fellow Taylor ham enthusiasts: I love how thin they slice it here. Makes it super tender and perfect. I'm even considering going double meat next time -- it feels like the portion's been shrinking a bit but honestly, that might just be me wanting more of a good thing. Bottom line: If you're anywhere near Naugatuck and you're not eating here, you're doing breakfast wrong.

The place itself has an old school vibe to me. It's packed with goodies and products wherever you look or turn around. The size of their grinders are very large and abundantly packed with meat and/or veggies. Their menu is almost limitless within reason. They have something for just about everyone. There is also a big assortment of prepared foods. Most of it is good. It depends on your tastes and likes or dislikes. They are conveniently located right off of an exit ramp of route 8. Easy on & off access. They have a good size parking lot on the side of their building with some spots in front in the street. They are a staple to the community and they have other locations if you're not in this area. Their grinder roll bread is so good. So fresh.

All three of us enjoyed the deli fresh cut meats. I'll definitely be trying other sandwiches in the future. I'm a sucker for a good deli sandwich and this place satisfied my cravings .

I also ordered a dozen of the mini cannolis, and they were just as amazing. They were packaged perfectly for my long trip, staying fresh and intact the entire way--such a thoughtful touch that really shows their attention to detail. I ordered a turkey and cheese on a bulky roll, and somehow something so simple was completely unforgettable. Fresh bread, quality ingredients, and flawless execution. Every bite showed care and craftsmanship. I traveled a long distance to get here, and it was 100% worth it. Noochies Deli delivers authenticity, quality, and consistency. I will definitely be back and highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near Waterbury.!!!!
