This place is the best kept secret in Drexel Hill It is a small unassuming business that you will miss easily when you pass by unless you know what you're looking for. The business has a tiny parking lot in front of their door but a bigger lot is adjacent to their driveway so access is very easy. The business is extremely animated, teaming with the comings and goings of young & old alike. The offerings are fresh , tasty & diverse. The workers greet you with professionalism and enthusiasm. They are very polite & seem familiar to most people who come into their deli. The cashier is so helpful and greets everyone with pleasant conversation and recommendations for hidden delicacies of the plentiful desserts that are displayed up front. The quality & value of the food is unequaled in this economy. It is well worth a visit if you're looking for something special in deli & Italian food dishes & more. read more

Delicious food and the best hoagies in the Metro-Philadelphia area. This is my favorite place to go when I'm looking for Italian hoagies, they offer several variations of Italian hoagies. read more

Nothing short of fabulous at this Italian grocery store. Melt in your mouth meatballs jus like mama's & grandma's, tender as can be, TDF. Paper thin chicken cutlet & a long hot on a Corropolese seeded roll, mmm good. Yummy caesar pasta, chicken, macaroni & tuna salads. I particularly love that the chicken salad is shredded sooo fine it breaks up any fat so you'll likely NEVVV-er find my MOST DREADED long strand of cartilage/gristle which I've unfortunately encountered countless times at other markets which caused me to STOP getting chicken salad PERIOD, for awhile just about every time. Bottom line is...Pagano's should be EVERYONE's Italian market. It is THAT good. And the staff is sooo friendly, helpful & kind. If you're craving a mouth-watering sandwich, etcetera, this IS your place. Side note: I have to add that I stopped eating hoagies awhile ago because of the toxic ingredients added to deli meats HERE in The United States (NOT in Italy & Europe, the FDA here in the US is an absolute disgrace) but Pagano's may change that for me as their #1 Imported Italian looks sooo, sooo good!!! Talk about mouth watering. read more

Got a roast pork Sammy, yum yum ! Found escarole soup, chicken cutlets are my next Sammy ! Everything looked fresh, everything you need. Deli service was awesome they guys check to make sure all are helped. Ambiance was a clean well run deli from a first timer but will be a lifer! read more

italian hoagies USED to be good but the last two times I ordered them the lettuce was all wet and soggy and instead of the cheese being against the roll the lettuce and toppings were there making the roll very soggy. I called today to voice my complaint and the manager was so completely rude and kept cutting me off and yelling on top of me so that really turned me off. I tried to explain several times that this is not the way the hoagies used to be made and all he wanted to do was deny it. Well my friends have all said the same thing. The last 6 months they are not making them the way they used to and you will not get any of our business anymore. read more

Outstanding in all respects great employees that work hard super cookies and sides including soup, wonderful party trays I

Excellent Italian sandwiches and grocery shop. Loved the Italian tuna sub and grabbed some vanilla pizelles while waiting for them to prepare it. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

I love Paganos. A small Italian market and deli, it has fabulous hoagies, great fresh baked rolls and bread from the best local vendors, a barrel of monster size pickles, fresh and frozen pastas, sauces, soups and cheeses, cookies and other treats. But really, it's the hoagies. I started with your classic Italian. They scoop out the center of the bread and replace it with fresh meats, cheeses, lettuce tomato and long hots if you want them. Of course someone gently encouraged me to try the start of the menu, the chicken cutlet hoagie. I went with the caprese and got a long hot on the side. The large is really two hoagies sold as one and I still tried to eat the whole thing. I have since moved through the entire cutlet list. Each one stands out in its own special way. Now sometimes the chicken can be a bit dry. The place is non-stop busy so I forgive the occasional overcooking of a cutlet. I even buy just a cutlet and make some out of it for dinner. It is definitely worth the stop!! read more

Whenever I have gone to paganos I have always been treated like I was part of their family! The people there are always so kind and helpful!!!! The food is literally to die for!!! My favorite thing there is their chicken cutlets. Although parking is a bit tough, the food is always worth it. read more

Great sandwich and deli shop! You can't beat their sandwiches. Nothing here is a bad choice so just take a look at their menu and pick something. I'm partial to the roast pork abruzzi, in fact my mouth is watering just thinking about it. A little bit expensive for deli fare but definitely worth it! read more

I hadn't been over that way in a while but was craving their bruschett. I ordered a small container and went in my way when I got home and opened it I was so dissatisfie. The bruschetta looked like it had been in a blender it looked like mush! ! I was so disappointed. I loved the chunkier type they used to sell. I'm sorry I won't be back for it. read more

Always a great sandwiches and great selections of cheeses,meats and other condiments. Been a steady customer going on 18 years!

This is the best local deli, hands down. Sandwiches - the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you're getting. Their chicken cutlet sandwiches are fantastic. You can't go wrong with any combo. They also have amazing Italian hoagies. The rolls are seeded, and fresh, with that pull of really good Italian bread. The portions are large enough, that with a side, you can easily eat this over two meals. My husband and I will sometimes get sandwiches to eat over the course of two days - they are just as delicious on the second day. Sides - Potato salad, macaroni salad and mozzarella salad are all phenomenal. Highly recommend Cannoli - Their cannoli are hand filled when you order and the shells are some of the freshest I've had. The filling is light, and makes the cannoli's less dense than some other's I've had. Everyone who works here is very nice. The girl who is the cashier is fantastic. She's always super helpful and friendly. read more

Most generous sandwiches in the area. Plus, there are plenty of good Italian specialties and traditional favorites to choose from.

Amazing chicken Parm sandwiches. They are not close to me, but whenever I'm in the area I stop by and grab one.

I really like this place. It is old school Italian. The products they sell are traditionally main stream products that you see in the market and some imported Italian items. Downside: I've learned my lesson. One, call ahead. If you come at lunch time or dinner, you may have a bit of a wait. I suggest calling ahead to avoid the wait. Their online menu is easy to decipher and you can order by number. Two parking is crazy. I do t know if it is legal but there is a strip mall next door. I park there and walk the short distance over to the store. Upside: They have pastas frozen to take home and prepare, fresh salads by the pound along with cold cuts. They will even fill your cannoli to order. The food is always good and the guys at the sandwich/deli counter are always Night. My thirds time there and I am addicted to the chicken caprese, number 23. It is warm breaded chicken cutlet with tomato, mozzarella and basil. The roll is a seeded Sarcone's roll. It's delicious. I spend 8 bucks for the sandwich and have no complaints. It's huge! read more

Pagano's - Chicken Caprese - Delis Near Me - Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Last year I got a large Italian hoagie here. The ingredients were the right ones for a good hoagie but the vegetables were put on the bread first and they were WET (rinsed with water). It caused the bread to get soaked and fall apart while it was being eaten. The veggies don't go on first, the cheese and salami do and shake the water off the veggies before you put them on the sandwich. read more

This is my go to deli in the area. The service is always great, they work their butts off here. Chicken cesear pasta salad, penne rosato and buffalo chicken salads are some of my favorites here. Check them out! read more

Fantastic mortadella and prosciutto hoagie, with fresh mozzarella and red peppers! Great service, too. read more

Pagano's - Mortadella and prosciutto hoagie - Delis Near Me - Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Hands down, the best Italian deli in Delco! We go at least once a week and it's delicious every single time.

Great deli and Italian grocery. Prepared foods are fantastic, too. Looking forward to returning.

I'm in from New York for a couple days . Not too many things satisfy the palate more than a sandwich. Not many sandwich shops can do a better job than Pagano's. Walk through the aisles and you can see they only use and sell the highest quality ingredients. I ordered the Chicken Diablo sandwich on a seeded hero ( you guys say hoagie ) roll. Chicken cutlet, hot Soppressata, and hot peppers. Incredible. I was so happy I ordered half of a tomato pie for tomorrow. An Italian delicacy shop not to be missed read more

Pagano's has the best prepared foods around, the chicken cutlets are amazing, the deli sandwiches very filling and if you are a fan of Escarole soup, you will love Pagano's. There are many other options to choose from, prepared pasta like lasagne, rigatoni and pasta/peas. In the refrigerator you can also find pasta fagioli, another favorite. All the home style, fresh cooked items make ordering out easy and delicious. They also sell an assortment of cheese and salami, olives and such to make up a perfect antipasto platter and the bread selection seems almost endless. I must speak to the wait time for a call ahead order, I have only once experienced more than a 20 minute wait. I hope your experience with Pagano's is as delicious and satisfying as I have described. Buon appetite! read more

Best chicken cutlet sandwiches around. All different types of sandwiches and still at a great price. Also love there homemade Stromboli read more

If you're looking for poor quality meals and products, keep driving by this place.... This has to be one of the best places to stop in for lunch or dinner to take home. A decent size Italian specialty deli that makes some unbelievable sandwiches. Usually I get an Italian hoagie. Today I went for the sausage scallopini sandwich. If you're in the area, you gotta stop in here for a meal. The food us great, and the people are very pleasant from the front register to the kitchen in the back. I wish I had a store like this in my neighborhood. read more

Pagano's - Delis Near Me - Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Bought from Pagano's before but purchased 2 hoagies a couple weeks back on a Tuesday. Both unseeded rolls were hard/stale. You would think being closed for 2 days you would get fresh rolls. These were stale ! Hard as a rock and never should have been used. Pagano's you're better than that. BTW, after spending $25.00 you just lost 2 customers ! read more

I love this place! They have a full range of prepared dishes to choose from, a full menu of great take out options, a freezer full of fresh pasta, soups, meatballs and sauces, and a fridge with fresh marinara, cheeses, meatballs soups. And the BEST rolls and breads! Oh, don't forget the pizelles and Italian cookies. Totally worth a trip here! read more

THE BEST HOAGIE EVER! Wonderfully fresh meats and buns. Order early, there is always a line because it' soooooo good. Lots of Italian specialty foods too. A little bit of Italy in Drexel Hill. YUM! read more

Can't go wrong with this sandwich shop, I mean they have everything you need and some ...lol.

Ordered a chicken finger and a bruschetta tray for a shower. The bruschetta was amazing, everybody raved about it and it was the first tray to go. Service was quick and very friendly. We order from there often for events. Highly recommend. read more

BEST. SANDWICHES. EVVVEEEER!! Highly recommend the Milano chicken sandwich. Their chicken cutlets are freshly made to perfection. Only issue is call ahead about an hour before picking up cause they are extremely busy. read more

It's like you stepped into a market in South Philly. Bes hoagie around and so much premier cold cuts and salads, chicken cutlets mozzarella balls, etc. Their Stromboli is insanity big and delicious. In a time when retail clerks and food service personnel are rude and rushed, the staff at Paganos is super friendly accommodating. 20 out of 10 for me read more

Pagano's is somewhat of a hike for me. But whenever I was in Drexel Hill, I always made a point to stop in. Terrific hoagies and that's a fact. I had an errand out that way, so my daughter and I stopped in recently. I was really taken aback that no one in the store was wearing a mask in the middle of a global pandemic. To me, it's an outright affront to the customers they serve. And I've got to wonder when food service businesses are that blatant about not wearing masks during a pandemic if they're paying much attention to the health codes. I won't be back. read more

Best deli in the area!! Quality food and service ALWAYS!!! Owners are great people. Great assortment of cheeses and imported foods. And all their prepared food is made with such care by the owners. A real gem!! read more

This place has a reputation for being great, honestly it lives up to it and then some. Excellent service, a clean shop, and the star of the show - a delectable sandwich that doesn't taste like anything else you can find in the burbs. So far everything I have tried has been both substantial in size and magnificent; my goal is to try one of everything on the menu by 2022. Stop reading and order, you will thank me. read more

I love their food n staff always friendly the chicken cutlets are the best but I wish they had delivery services n were open later!

I've never had a bad sandwich from Pagano's & I've had many. Personal choice is their chicken cutlet . I also love their Italian vanilla cookie with the rainbow Jimmie's on top....soooo delicious. Don't miss out, clearly their reviews speak for the great quality. read more
