If you come here for anything, come for the cold cuts that are ALL imported! You won't find any Boar's Head junk here! This place has some real deal stuff, and you will more than likely buy more than what you originally ordered. If you are like me, and you eat with your eyes, you will easily spend over $50 on your first visit and all visits to come. Since I work close to hear, I usually call in my cold cut order and come to pick up in the afternoon. Be prepared to wait if you walk-in, as people usually stock up on all their Italian specialty favorites. From pasta to sausage, to candy to appetizers for your weekend get-together. The walls are littered with pictures and memories of years past and make great use of your waiting time by taking a peak at it all. This is a neighborhood staple that isn't going anywhere! read more

Such a gem! My first time visiting them was last week, met the owner Jerry, a great guy loved by his loyal customers with whom I enjoyed our chat and I got their fantastic homemade sausages (spicy and fennel). I came back for my lunch I tried their Italian hero he made for me - so good! Homemade sweet peppers were so juicy and meaty, mozzarella was so fresh and fluffy, generous amount of the perfectly cured meat, and the fresh bread! Thank you Jerry!! I also love this neighborhood - people are so easy-going, friendly, great mix of cool old-school shops and hipster modern shops. read more

Oh my god. We typically go to Anthony & Sons across the street, put if you want a classic sandwich - this is the spot. The sandwich was out of this world. And the people who work there, have always been there and are so polite! read more

Was working in the area, wanted a real sandwich. Sweet soppressata and cappicolla with sharp provolone fit the bill perfectly! Wound up leaving with 2 beef bracciole, a pork skins bracciole, sweet Italian sausage w/ fennel, a pound of garlic and basil lamb sausage! All made fresh on the premise! Hot specials were also available. Next time... Many items meats and cheeses I still want to try. What a gem. read more

Roast pork sandwich is amazing - best sandwich I've had in NY. Great vibe in the store and the guys behind the counter are super nice and helpful read more

This just answers everything I want to eat! A nice sandwich for lunch and everything I need in order to make a good Italian dinner at home! read more

You walk in and it doesn't look like much. It looks kind of cramped. Fact is that it is cramped. Appearances are very deceiving. Jerry carries everything. And if you're not sure what you want, he let you sample. Or at least he let me sample. The meats, cheeses, the pasta are all out of this world. I am pretty sure that he carries products that you can't find anyplace else Or would have a very hard time finding any place else.Plus he's a big-time baseball fan. read more

There's not much I could say to change its reputation, but why would I want to? I had the Italian combo for the first time. Bread - amazing. Meats phenomenal. Cheese - you get the gist. Soft, fresh, flavorful. Zero regrets. read more

If you want go somewhere for a great sandwich, friendly people and support a small, family-run business then Emily's Pork store is the place. We visit NYC every few years and seek out the non-commercial places for a more authentic experience and a visit to Emily's did not disappoint. In fact it was one of the best parts of our trip this time out. It is very small and there is no seating but that is the beauty of these old, but enduring deli/meat stores! There isn't even a menu because guess what? They will make you whatever you want or can imagine! Be creative and ask! Then, take your sandwich and an Italian cola and walk a couple of blocks down the street to a small park, sit in the shade and enjoy watching every day life in an old, but nice, safe neighborhood. It would be nice if they got a couple of small round tables with a few chairs out front, but just my thoughts and, regardless, we will go back again. These folks have been there for more than 50 years and could not have been more genuine, friendly and helpful. Serving up awesome, authentic Italian sandwiches with great customer service, Emily's is the place to go. If I lived here I would shop there for the large variety of authentic meats and cheeses as well as other Italian products that you won't find most places. read more

Just go. Get sandwiches in semolina bread. - broccoli rabe, italian with spicy peppers. Tip generously. Get transported in this old school ny staple read more

Literslly the best sandwich I've ever had. Prosciutto mozzarella spicy pepper and vinegar on a sub. I heated it up in the microwave and wow.

Great vibe and staff here. But the sandwiches were a huge disappointment. Super overpriced and mediocre. Most bodegas do better. Which is mind blowing, but sadly, a fact. read more

Graham Avenue Meats, Lorimer Market, Emily's Pork Store, it's so hard to choose - I wish that Los Angeles had a Italian deli half as good as any of the deli's within a block radius of here.

Emily's Pork Store - Meat Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Drinking Game: Take a shot every time I mention "Pork" in this review. *Sniff sniff* "You smell like pork." After a spontaneous trip to Emily's Pork Store we both did. I had been aching to visit the shop since visiting Motorino (they use pork products from this joint). Walking in was like traveling through time. It's a Brooklyn that I had thought was pretty much gone from the area. An ancient gentleman and a much younger man were behind the counter (I am 99% sure they are related), and behind them were yellowing, curling photographs from earlier days. Shirtless men flexing, pictures of people with pork, baby photos. It felt homey. The store is small, but it's packed with fresh Italian delicacies and a ton of imported goods. There were at least 20 different cheeses, aged and fresh. 4 kinds of fresh mozzarella that day (smoked, unsalted, salted celigne, and marinated celigne) all for just $5.99/lb. The Broccoli Rabe pork sausage that I was visiting for was also $5.99/lb. While the mozzarella wasn't AMAZING, the sausage was, and I really can't complain. It's a pork store, not a cheese store. For my next visit I plan on buying some of their fresh pappardelle...perhaps I will serve it with a pork ragout! read more

C'MON SON* The spicy italian combo here (a bargain at $7.50) leaves an amazing tingle on the lips, making it easy to forget the seemingly infinite line encountered on a weekend midday visit here. The great bread is from Aliperti's cousin at Napoli Bakery down Metropolitan. It's mostly older locals, with a slow-moving line and some sneaky regulars, trying to get to the front and pretending conversational welcomes to the staff are ways to game the queue, but that's all part of the charm. The Boar's Head sign was initially disheartening, but don't worry...& yes, they take CCs, the locals just don't use 'em (it comes up as ALIPERTI PORK STORE on CC). *YOU KNOW THAT'S RIGHT. "Walk into Emily's Pork Store in the historically Italian neighborhood of East Williamsburg, and you're likely to find owner Gennaro "Jerry" Aliperti playing butcher, sandwich composer, and jokester to customers and friends. Emily's is a true locals' place -- Aliperti says about 85 percent of his business comes from regulars. This is a specialty store from another time, and it remains committed to old traditions and high standards. Aliperti's uncle Frank opened the shop in 1974, naming it after his wife. When Aliperti began working here at age thirteen, his first job was stocking the wooden shelves with canned Italian products. He soon learned to make sausages and to butcher. This is still a neighborhood meeting place, and you'll hear lightning-fast Italian spoken as you scan a menu that has changed very little over 41 years. Here's a helpful hint: Emily's makes the best Italian sandwiches in Brooklyn. Choose one of two bread selections -- both made by Aliperti's cousin at Napoli Bakery just down the street on Metropolitan Avenue -- from a center shelf and hand it to Aliperti. Regulars do this as soon as they enter the shop, and they always choose (correctly) the crusty French-style baguette over the thicker sub-style roll. Skip the rudimentary sandwich board and take a few minutes to peruse the specialty cheeses and meats. Once you've ogled the soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto cotto, and wine-soaked umbriaco, get Aliperti's seasoned opinion on what's best and just go for it. Perhaps it's the house-made salami, ham, and provolone with fresh roasted sweet peppers, or the sliced rare roast beef, made fresh daily, with jus and marinated peppers. Or you might like some fresh roast pork and maybe a little bresaola (top round that has been salted and dried) with Jerry's homemade mozzarella. Everything is sliced to order, and everything is priced far below the New York mean." read more

Excellent selection of marinated HOMEMADE goodies - olives, mozzarella... oh my. Not to mention the barrels of dried beans for less than $1/lb. Biggest Awesome Points? One time, the Number One and I needed a small chunk of pancetta, and the butcher just GAVE it to us - didn't charge us a cent! read more

My various standby Italian recipes (sausage & peppers, pappardelle with sausage ragu, lasagna, etc.) are nothing without the sweet fennel and hot sausages from Emily's. Also, burrata. BURRATA! I LOVE BURRATA! And, they have it. If you go early on a Saturday and see the loaf of bread with the prosciutto bread (I affectionately refer to as piggie bread), grab one. They will not be there later in the day. They will probably still be warm. Eat it. So. yummy. When I lived in Chelsea, I used to go to Buon Italia all the time inside Chelsea Market. I have found a new home in Williamsburg (that is significantly cheaper) with fantastic products. read more

One of the reasons I like Williamsburg and miss the fact that my bf doesn't live there anymore. 1) the store smells delicious - maybe that's because I'm an Italian girl who was raised in a bakery in Bensonhurst or maybe because it just smells delicious 2) great selection of Italian ingredients and brands that you cannot find in your local grocery store, or even most supermarket chains for that matter. Big selection of cheeses. I could come into this store stuffed and walk out drooling. 3) fresh, delicious pork. My bf got a few cuts of meat from here and made pulled pork that was out of this world and a very big hit at a bbq I would definitely take the trip out to Williamsburg to visit this pork store. read more

If I could give Emily's a 10, I would. This place could be called The Charcutterie Center. They have the choicest cured meats and Italian cheese. I like their namesake pork as well, but I'm partial to their fresh Italian pastas and authentic Italian sausages -- the fennel is a must. They also have random treats, like occasional fried fish filets, prosciutto balls and anything your Italian heart desires. read more

I go in here quite a bit, sometimes just to look around. It's that kind of place. I'll get everything I need to make tiramisu, fresh and dried meats, cheeses, pasta, as well as cheese curds to make my own mozzarella at home. The owner and rest of the staff is super nice and helpful - they even delivered something I needed when I was running late and couldn't get to the store. I love that there are still old-school joints like this around and am so glad I found it. I can't wait to try the Burrata! read more

Great quality, friendly staff, and authentic Italian cuisine. Emily's Pork Store is one of my favorite places to go when I'm preparing an authentic Italian dinner. Whether you're shopping for homemade sausage (delish!) or fresh Burrata (I was educated on this cheesy delicacy), you will not be dissapointed. Be sure to try their seafood salad. Unreal! read more

This place is wonderful! The bread I got there was excellent! The broccoli rabe sausage is amazing and totally worth a trip if that's all you're getting. Go here and get any of their meat products because they are delicious! read more

Great sausages, Impeccable steaks and pork chops. A local favorite. Great service and courteous too. They will take good care of you, and you will come back for more. Great Prices. read more

The Barata is the ice cream of cheeses. One nice pear, one nice apple sliced. Open the Barata out of its special package and cut it in half.
