    Great old school type deli if you're looking for classic subs/sandwiches done really well, Pete's is the place.

    Really the best /addictive eggplant parm and their pizza is really good as well. I moved away but still come back here. Nice /friendly people working there.

    Someone should educate the workers that are slicing the cold cuts that they're supposed to pull back the plastic on the meat before they start slicing it. I just had to manually remove the plastic from a pound of meat after nearly choking on it. That's not right, this is a choking hazard. Thank God it happened to me and not a child. I liked this neighborhood deli before this event. Now they will lose a good customer. Hopefully management will learn from this. Come on, this is basic stuff. An adult should know better. Please do better. Even worse, I'm pulling a hair out of my freshly made meatball now. It's not mine because I'm bald. I'm done with this place. Two strikes and you're out with me. When I'm paying top dollar for my food, it better not have any issues with it.

Sadly, they are selling the business, but I will recommend trying it before they do. I'm honestly scared. It's gonna turn into something else.. I hope whoever decides to buy this business keeps it the same. It's right at the end of KEARNY and such a welcoming place. The owners are always kind to my kiddos and very family friendly. It has an old school vibe, but it is perfectly clean! I highly recommend you give this place a try you won't be disappointed I promise.

I…read moreguess I can find comfort that I drank entirely too many of them in my youth and even my own kids got to try them once or twice before the company went kaput.) Onward and upwards... it's now (almost) 2024 and while the the shelves are a bit more sparse than I recall and they got rid of their lottery machine (which seemed to bring in a lot of old-timers) - what I'm here for is their sandwiches. Specifically their #1 Italian. And I'm happy to report: they're still the best around. (And it tasted even better after a recent not-so-good visit to a Jersey Mike's in my hometown.) Besides their incredible subs you'll find the usuals (chips, soda, ice cream) and a few random items (aspirin, Chapstick). Cool crew behind the counter. Good pricing for such a quality product. Trying to find parking is still a nightmare. 'Enjoy every sandwich.' -- Warren Zevon (No truer words were ever spoken.)

    On my rare day off, we went on the hunt for a new Italian sandwich joint. Today brought us to…read moreNutley, NJ. Plenty of parking on the side street. Old school Italian Deli, which I totally love. They got everything from your traditionally Italian cold cut sammich to the Hoboken (roast beef, mutz and gravy). Service was pretty swift. We got 3 sandwiches. My wife and myself got a chicken based sandwich and the kid got a meatball parm. If I didn't see it for myself, I would've never known, but it threw me back. They warm the chicken up in a microwave. I'm not sure why when the meatballs they brought in the back to the ovens to make my son's sandwich. I just found that very odd. I got the chicken cutlet, with provolone and broccoli rabe. Sandwich was excellent. I was really in the mood for crunchy semolina bread, but this was still very good. My son loved the meatball sammich. So all in all, a very solid spot. You can dine in or take home. (We brought it home).
