A Genuine Taste of Old-School Deli Magic Stepping into Parsippany Deli is like taking a delightful trip back in time. This is the definition of an old-school, old-fashioned deli, right down to the atmosphere and the incredibly old-fashioned staff. As someone who drove up looking for a quick, post-work lunch and is used to the quick pace of a city like Chicago, I was thrilled--this place absolutely didn't miss. The food here is genuinely delicious. I highly recommend the hot pastrami sandwich--it was simply so good!--and the seafood salad sub was excellent, hitting all the right notes for a satisfying lunch. Now, about that old-school experience: I called my order in and, after driving up and eventually snagging a rare parking spot, I walked in about ten minutes later. When I asked about my pick-up order, the initial response from one of the women was a little huff. After clarifying I had called it in, they then began to prepare the order. It's that slightly chaotic, "we'll get to you when we get to you" style, which honestly just adds to the authentic, unhurried, classic charm of the place once you accept the pace. The only minor note was the potato salad. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't my cup of tea; I prefer a different preparation style. But one side dish quirk isn't enough to detract from the overall fantastic experience. If you're in the area and craving a truly authentic, high-quality deli lunch, I would absolutely recommend Parsippany Deli. Go for the hot pastrami sandwich or the seafood salad sub, enjoy the flavor, and embrace the classic deli charm! read more

I've been wanting to get to the Parsippany Deli for a long time since there are so many great reviews for it. I picked up sandwiches for me and my stepson for lunch yesterday. The deli is very old school, nothing fancy. There's a counter in the back where you order and there's shelves stocked with chips and drinks. No dining inside. The sandwiches were awesome! My stepson had the #2 with provolone added and I had a Hot Pastrami. First off, the half size of the subs is huge. His turkey sandwich looked like it could feed 2 people. My pastrami on rye was delicious! The meat was very tender with no fat. The prices here are fantastic and the quality of the food is high. If you're looking for sandwiches better than the national franchise stores, stop in here. The service was super friendly as well! read more

I have patronized the Parsippany Deli for decades. Everything there - subs, sandwiches, salads - is top notch. Quality. Tasty. Fresh. And, in a world where everything is expensive, reasonably priced. I had a roast beef, turkey and Swiss sloppy Joe. Wow. It has to go down as one of the best sloppy joes I have ever consumed. Look at it! If you haven't been here, go. It is an old school deli. They are the best kind. You won't regret it. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop in for a sub. My bf has been coming here for years and swears by this deli as one of the best around. This mom and pop deli is not much to look at from the outside.They have free parking out front with several spots they share with another business. Once inside you can see why they call this place The Parsippany Deli/ Emerald Gifts aka The Irish Deli. As soon as you walk in the front door, they have a glass counter that displays beautiful China from Ireland. They sell teas, marmalade, sausages, bacon, black and white pudding, Irish candies, also Brennan's bread. During the month of March they make and sell homemade Irish Soda Bread. As you make your way to the front counter you will meet owner Eddie, and Avril. They were both very friendly and told me about their business. Posted on the counter is their sandwich and salad menus. The Parsippany deli/Emerald gifts has been in business for 56 years, now I know why. Their prices are reasonable, and everything is homemade. They also do catering. They roast all their own meats like Roast Beef, Turkey Breast, and Baked Virginia Ham. I highly suggest getting a half of a sub. It's as big as most whole subs.This place doesn't skimp on their meats, just the opposite. When I got home and opened up my sub I was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't believe how much meat was on it. It was probably one of the best Italian subs I've ever had and I've been all over for subs. I ordered their Italian Sub - Ham, Salami, Capocollo they call it Hot Ham, and Cheese. I got mine with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, oil and vinegar. It was really delicious. I wound up eating a half of a half and saved the rest for later. My bf ordered their Roast Beef n American Cheese Sub. The Roast Beef was cooked perfectly rare and piled on the sandwich with lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar. He enjoyed it so much he ate the entire thing. I also ordered 2 of their homemade salads. Macaroni and Potato Salad. The macaroni was my favorite. It was rich and creamy. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed read more

Delicious sandwiches , old school mom n pop delicatessen. Try it once and you'll definitely return

Their sub sandwiches are a stratosphere above any 'chain' shop - old school and delicious.

With over 50 years in Parsippany, there is a reason Parsippany Deli is still on business after all these years. My go to spot when it comes to a good old Deli sandwhich. Countless delis in town have came and are long gone, but Ed and his crew continue to serve Parsippany and surroundings residents. As much as new locations need your support, don't forget those who have served Parsippany probably longer than most may even have lived in Parsippany. Located at 137 Parsippany Road, across from Green Hill Plaza, you can easily access it from Route 287, Route 202, and Route 46. read more

This place is so random. I thought I walked into the wrong store. Just look at the photos, and you'll know what I mean. It's part convenience store, part sub shop and part department store?? They have random dinnerware along with picture frames and Irish music CDs - none of which were Riverdance unfortunately. After getting over the initial shock, I finally made my way up to the counter. It's a bit cramped up there. Nonetheless, I was finally able to order my usual "Italian sub with everything, including a bit of mayo and hot peppers" Definitely got a good serving of meat in there. However, the way it was built caused "the everything, including a bit of mayo and hot peppers" to fall out. Otherwise, I enjoyed the sandwich. read more

Meatball sandwhich lunch special 4.95 that price can't be beat and the food was delicious.

Just a local deli that also sells Irish themed merchandise, but they make one of the better sandwiches you can get in the area. Good quality name-brand meats and cheeses, good bread, and they put a lot on the sandwich. Some places put a mere two slices of meat and one slice of cheese . . . not this place. Good salads as well, but the big favorite is their cole slaw. It's great on sloppys or when I make pulled pork sandwiches at home I get it, but also good on its own as is their potato salad. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! In short, it's awesome. Yes it's random with the gift shop inside, yes the owners are a little old school and looked at me funny (I'm a tattoo'd Asian guy), but their sandwiches are big, delicious and well priced. We usually get turkey and cheese subs and they don't skimp. Bread is fresh and the meat is layered on, as well as any fixings you want. Price is great for what you get too. read more

Got platters of sandwiches from Eddie the owner who is sweet and very accommodating for our tumor support group. The sandwiches were yummy and fresh. They had ample varieties of sandwiches and my favorite was the Italian combo. The platter came packed filled to the top and they provided condiments and server ware. So delicious and fresh and fast. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by their variety and flavor and I will definitely be ordering here again. read more

Can't believe I moved here a year ago & just found out about this place! I had an Italian sub on a large roll and it was delicious!! The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of meat on the sandwiches. I will be back to try their other items. read more

Sucky workers!! Rude and disrespectful. Curses at customers as if that's what any worker should do!! August 22nd at 1 pm whatever workers were working behind the counter were rude and called me an "asshole" as i ordered a sandwich. Disgusting language and disrespectful. read more

HUGE portions. Great quality. Funny and friendly staff.

The best pizza. Just like Italy. Thin crust, just enough sauce, not dripping and fresh ingredients.

This is truly my favorite place to buy a sandwich. The owner and ladies are always pleasant quick efficient and build some of the best sandwiches one could ever seek. We all have our favorites but I can attest to the fact that a large percentage of my office are regulars. read more

The sandwich had a generous amount of meat and the price wasn't too bad, but those are the only positive things I can say. I had a bad feeling when I saw the corned beef being sliced and thrown in the microwave, but since I ordered it I paid and hoped for the best. I took a bite and while it was bland I thought it wasn't awful. It still was cold so I opened the sandwich to heat it a little more and saw the meat was turning green! To think when I walked in I couldn't decide what I wanted and the staff helped to steer me to this, gross! I had to throw it away and buy something else. Do Not go there!! read more

I love their sub sandwiches - they use great quality meats and don't skimp. Also, lots of great treats that you can only get in Europe.
