I love Piccolo Gourmet! My whole family enjoys what this deli has to offer. My kids are huge fans of pizza, the ingredients are straight from Italy, and the wood oven adds nice flavor. The sandwiches always taste great and staff is always helpful and courteous. Definitely recommend, family Friendly! read more

Small Italian market/deli in the heart of new Hyde Park where is a predominantly Indian neighborhood not sure how they survive more people working than customers, the pizza was average. Sauce had no flavor 16 bucks for a small 12 inch and also no seafood salad which is a staple in most Italian markets read more

I don't know why I've never noticed "Piccolo Gourmet" before; I mean I'm in area a lot. It wasn't till someone told me to go, that I noticed it. But, I was hungry and a hero from Piccolo was on the menu. There was plenty of parking outside, and looking from the parking lot, at the building, I had a feeling, this place was going to be worth the trip. Inside, didn't disappoint, it was as beautiful on the inside as it was on the outside. Organized, clean, and big, that's everything this deli slash pizzeria represents. Even better than the building was the staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful. The lady at the cash register more so. They didn't have something I wanted, so she was ready to check in the basement for me. I kindly told her "No thanks" but she still wanted to look for me anyway. After telling her, it's fine, she finally relented. My hero and egg salad were done, so I left. Mental note; I have to go back. I ate my hero without taking a picture. Was it because I was so hungry, or am I slipping with Yelp? I like to think I was hungry. The hero was fresh and delicious. I did have the sense to snap a shot of the egg salad, also delicious. So all said and done, this is a place I would recommend if you were in the area. Just take time and snap a photo before you eat...maybe take one for me. read more

Great deli, very clean - the glass case at the deli counter is spotless. Sandwiches on heroes are only $1 more than a roll. The staff is personable and kind and is always restocking shelves/tidying. read more

They make great sandwiches . I've tried the godfather , the hillside slider, and piccolo's favorite . They were all fantastic and very filling . read more

I really enjoy this place and I have been coming here with my dad and my sister for a few years. Their food is really good and I really enjoy their paninis. They also have a great variety of stuff in the deli section and their sandwiches tastes really great as well. The only thing I don't like too much as the fact that they are really stingy when it comes to giving you a decent amount of food in there hot food section. Depending on who is serving you they will literally give you the minimum or they will put a little bit more for you but considering that the price is up there you do want your dollars worth. Other than that the staff is really nice. They do have some baked items that are homemade which I enjoy because they're not too sweet. Great place overall read more

Wow! This place has everything! I had the roast beef stuffing with all the add ons (on a hero bun of course!) plus a neopolitan pizza and it was delish! The char on the pizza was perfect with the amount of toppings and the roast beef is boar's head, so what is there to complain about? Plus the lady at the cashier was super nice. Bonus! read more

I'm really impressed by the vast options here. The cases are full of Italian specialties like baked pene, chicken Marsala, broccoli rabe, the list goes on and on. Next to the specialties case is where they make sandwiches to order. In the back there are some hot daily items like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, etc. And then there is the brick oven where they make pizza. There are also specialties items like baked goods, pastas, cookies, pastries, I mean the list goes on and on here. My hubby and I got sandwiches. One godfather, which has Italian meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato and sweet peppers and a Hillside which is chicken cutlet with bacon and melted cheddar and they were both really good. I really enjoyed their hero bread. It's that crunchy on the outside yet doughy on the inside kinda bread. It's delicious. But not as big as I would have expected or I'm use to from other Italian delis I frequent. They use the smaller almost foot long hero bread and they are $9.99 each. Still a five star place because they really have everything here. Everyone working here was friendly and they seemed like family. I will definitely be back to try a little of everything. read more

Second week in a row ordering, this time adding more variety. Yup, still 5 stars! Pizza is a must have.

Located in a shopping center with many vacant stores, Piccolo Gourmet still stands strong after 20 years of service to the community. The reason is outstanding quality food, great prices, and exceptional customer service. If you are anywhere near the NHP area, stop in for a panini, pizza, or a sandwich; all delicious. Also consider Piccolo Gourmet for your catering needs. read more

This place makes amazing PANINIS! I was there last week! This is the Panini you need to get. Chicken cutlet, roasted red pepper, fresh mozzarella, chipotle mayo! After I sat down and had 1 bite, I went back inside to let the owner know, this was the best panini I've ever had! read more

I was told about this place by a new co-worker as a place we might want to order from to change up from our regular eats. While most of my Co-workers got the panini's, which they all raze about, I choose to get a hero. I must say the hillside slider hero is amazing! With a long work day it keeps me full through out the long shift we pull on Thursday nights. I also appreciate that the deliver all the way to my job in Manhasset. If you ever get the chance check them out you won't be upset. read more

Piccolo Gourmet - The Hillside Slider Hero.( Breaded Chicken Curley, Melted American Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Mayo, Lettuce and Tomato) - Sandwiches Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

Still going strong. We had stopped using Piccolo for delivery since they were always unreliable about when they would actually show up - BUT - they have apparently remedied that problem and are now showing up when requested. I'v never gotten a bad meal or take out from this place - it is plain and simply good. Prices are a bit steep - but you won't feel like you were ripped off. Parking is still an issue but worth the hassle. read more

Ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken on Uber eats. When I opened the salad it had green and red peppers, regular black olives and days old chicken. I called the restaurant and asked them why they added green and red peppers with no kalamata olives I was told "that's how we make it here". Zero customer service. I also asked about the dry chicken. Allegedly it was made earlier today. None of the food was fresh after I placed my order the food came in 20 mins. Waste of money. read more

Piccolo is great. A wonderful Italian deli but extremely expensive. If you go in and place an order do yourself a favor and DO NOT LET THE OLDER MAN NAMED JOE MAKE YOUR FOOD. you will 100% regret it. I once ordered chicken cutlet and mozzarella (HOT) on a hero and that psychopath put half a jar of mayo on the sandwich. I did not ask for Mayo but for some reason he thought it was okay to serve us a hot mayo sandwich. It was disgusting, inedible, and a complete waste of +$10. He's gotten me and a lot of people I know with these types of mistakes. He doesn't listen to what you want and just gives you whatever he wants. Aside from that guy Joe, the rest of the staff is good. They have wonderful food, Amazing brick oven pizza, and great hot food. I suggest the hillside slider sandwich. The have awesome salads under the counter. I really like the Caesar pasta salad. It is definitely over priced and Every time I go in there I get charged something different, depending on who is working the counter. The older women charges the most... it doesn't really make any sense. Also their old delivery driver was Great. Always fast and polite. THe other delivery guy had a dog in his car with my food. Which is gross. read more

Not the greatest sandwiches... other delis have better Don't waste your money... very bland food read more

If you're looking for authentic imported italian goods this is your spot! Prices are higher than others but it's because you're paying for what you get! Their sandwiches are incredible and I highly recommend stopping in to try a coal fired pizza. read more

I think this place is great. It seems to get mixed reviews but all of the food I got from here and the customer service I have received have been excellent. Their macaroni salad is the best I've ever had. The chicken Parm, baked ziti, and rice ball were all delicious. I haven't tried one of their pizzas yet but will definitely make it a point to do so. When I went in today the gentleman behind the counter was really nice and made several suggestions for things to get. He was right on all accounts. I tipped him a few bucks and he gave me two rice balls for free just to try them. Such a nice gesture. The food is a little pricey but definitely worth it. The chicken parm was restaurant quality even as I warmed it up in my own oven. I will definitely be back to try more of their stuff. read more

It's not even fair how good this place is. I stepped in one day to order what one might say is an unreasonably large breakfast sandwich. 4 eggs Chicken cutlet Cooked roast beef Bacon Pepper jack cheese Jalepeños Pepper and ketchup On a hero No one gave me a hard time, whined, or grumbled. One guy, however, laughed and said "epic meal time!" The sandwich was better than I had hoped. They even went as far as to slice the chicken cutlet so it would sit in the sandwich better. Obviously a sandwich like this took some time to make but not one ingredient was missing. Most delis I go to rush sandwiches and often miss an item here and there on an order like this. I cannot stress how perfect this sandwich was! On top of that the sandwich was reasonably priced. The environment was great! Everyone was friendly. It's very clean and organized and the selection of foods appears to be very wide. I have only had good experiences with quality of customer service and quality of food. I will absolutely, to the dismay of the person that has to make my sandwich, be returning to this fine establishment! read more

Pizza is amazing! Always done perfect. We are very particular with the way we like it cooked, we call ahead. The deli guys are friendly and helpful and the cashier is so sweet. A must visit if in NHP ! The guy who makes the pizza is a rock star! Perfecto! read more

I go here probably once or twice a week for lunch. Try the paninis, they'll heat them up for you in the wood-fired oven while you wait. Delicious! Ask for a side of marinara if you like. Also pick up some fresh Italian sausage and a jar of Michael's marinara sauce of your way out, it's probably the best sauce I've ever tasted. read more

I work in the area and stumbling upon Piccolo was a great find! They have daily lunch box specials which are under $7 for a sandwich, side & a drink. Can't get better than that. Their specialty pizzas are awesome! Fresh ingredients & light crispy crust . Haven't had a complaint on the panini or hero either. read more

I went there for lunch and ordered a mini pizza, the guy making the pizzas told me it would be 15 minutes. For a 6" pizza, when I asked if it was ready 20 minutes later the schmuck didn't even put it in the oven. The. He said I can make it right now it will only take 5minutes. I walked out. It was the first time and the last time I will ever go there. read more

I've lived right by this deli for so many years and have never took the opportunity to try their pizza that I had heard about. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be good, but just like my fellow Yelper said, I saw the place featured on "Restaurant Hunter" and realized I should give it a try. When I went in, the back of the deli has a cute, little pizza parlor-look with pieces of wood on a shelf and a tiny display window with a few slices of pizzas already made. Coincidently, I also ended up with the same slices (chicken bruschetta and a margherita slice) as my fellow Yelper. The margherita slice was relatively tasty, especially in the spots of fresh mozzarella, though I wasn't blown away by their sauce. As for the chicken bruschetta slice, that was a great combination of flavors and one I would order again. They have several other great-sounding pizzas and with this location so close, I'll have to go back again to try them. read more

Piccolo Gourmet - Chicken bruschetta and margherita slices. Quite tasty and decent, respectfully. - Sandwiches Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

After watching "Restaurant Hunters" which features local Long Island restaurants, we decided to stop by and pick up pizza for lunch. We ordered a bruschetta and a margarita slice that were heated up in their brick oven and ready in about 5 minutes. They also had a nice selection of Italian meats, cheeses, and premade foods. Not as large as Ivarone Market, but a great family owned store with specialty items. The pizza was on par with many pizza restaurants on long island (such as close by Umbertos) and is a must try in the area! read more

Absolutely delicious food! Best brick oven pizza anywhere!

Piccolo Gourmet always has amazing food but today I had the best sandwich (panini) I've even eaten. Fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, spinach, roasted peppers with pesto. Dominic is the master and Sal makes you feel like family. We love this place- always something new to try, food is always delicious and staff is awesome! read more

Piccolo Gourmet - A real gourmet deli that's large... reasonably priced... the most friendly staff...and amazing fresh food...life is good! - Sandwiches Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

Located on Hillside Ave near New Hyde Park Road, the Piccolo Gourmet looks easy to miss, but the quality of their food speaks volumes. I randomly came here one day to pick up lunch. My co-worker told me that this place was good so I decided to order a sandwich. I picked The Godfather, which includes Prosciutto, Salami, Ham Cappy, Pepperoni, Provolone, Lettuce/Tomatoes, Roasted Red Peppers, Oil & Vinegar. (Roll - $6.95, Hero - $7.95) As I looked around the deli, I see a lot of delicious looking snacks. In fact, everything looked fresh and delicious. I almost bought some cookies. The staff there was friendly and the establishment looked clean. It seems Piccolo Gourmet specializes in catering and provides many choices in catering. I took the sandwich back to work and ate it there. It was very delicious. The only thing stopping me from coming back is my laziness to drive and my frugal tactics to not spend the gas and time to go pick up lunch. According to the website, they offer free delivery for orders $20 and up. PROS: Deliciously fresh sandwiches CONS: None! read more

Today my daughter wanted me to get her a #2 brick oven panini from Piccolo Gourmet. She was at work in Manhasset and was to get her dinner break at 4:00. I called Piccolo at 2:45 and said I would pick it up at 3:00. I got there and the panini was ready. I got to my car snd something told me to check it. Low and behold it was a #7. I did not open the box- the number was on top. I went back in and told the girl and said it would be remade. The man who was making it starting slicing roast beef, which was not even in the sandwich. He proceeded to make the correct sandwich and then after preparing it- he puts it in the microwave- hello- it's a brick oven panini. When I questioned the girl she said the oven wasn't working. At this point she should have told me that and suggested another item on the menu. Would have been nice to know this when I placed the order. I bring the sandwich to my daughter and ad you can imagine the grilled chicken in the microwave was like rubber. I called and asked for the manager and told the girl who I was- she didn't want to hear it- she said talk to the manager. I left my phone number and expected a call back, but I guess I was asking too much. You try to support the community and shop local and this is a true disappointment. By the way the "oven brick panini" was $11.94. Never again. read more

Friendly staff but the prices were steep. "Obviously", you say? Well, the products here were comparable to Piccolo's counterparts but offered at higher prices with a smaller selection. To their credit, though, they did have nutella travel pouches for 3 for $2. Sign up for their e-list and hope for the best. There is no such thing as an attention span. There is only the quality of what you are viewing. read more

I stopped here for lunch pretty often and never had a bad meal. Good sandwiches, great service, and fairly large selection. Would recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

Been going here for many years food is amazing but the pizza and paninis omg are to die for Dominic is an artist aka master chef

I work in New Hyde Park and this is my favorite place to eat lunch! I am there at least once a week! The food is so fresh and delicious! I am totally addicted to it! I love the cobb and seared tuna salads as well as the steak Panini and is amazing! When my co-workers hear where I am going they want me to bring food back for them too! The deli sandwiches are so well prepared as well. The ambiance of the deli is fantastic as well as the friendly people who create all of the wonderful food! Once you are in there, surrounded by the food, which is not only yummy, but beautiful, it is hard to not also get some of the prepared foods or salads for later! They have daily lunch specials and a daily email you can sign up for which enters you to win a free lunch which I have! I love this place! read more

My family orders sandwiches from Piccolo all the time and they are our go-to for catering for every family party. For my backyard wedding this past Saturday we used Piccolo again and recieved so many compliments on the outstanding food! Everyone loved the paninis and wraps, which were individually wrapped for safety and added cleanliness. Thank you again, Piccolo! read more

The food is great, but last week when we revisited after a long time and initially being concerned because the door sign said wear a mask and gloves and we just had masks, we were astonished to walk in and see two customers with no masks. The store is not that big so those two people were with six feet of us. The staff all had masks and plexiglass but why did no one asked those two customers to wear masks? We won't return for a while until we can be sure of our safety. read more

Got the Godfather sandwich there, it was somewhat mediocre given how overly chewy the bread was. I'd say the food does not stand out compared to the hundreds of other italian delis in the region, it's not horrible but its probably a tad more expensive. What they make up for in lack of quality is quantity, the sandwich is huge! The okay food is not enough though for me to have given this place a 1 star review (which I have never done until now), but rather because of the behaviors of the disgruntled elderly lady who works there seemed annoyed at my presence when I was paying for the food. Of note, the people actually making the food were very friendly. When she gave me an iced coffee the lid was leaking coffee which got on my tie, and when I returned to simply ask for a napkin she couldn't be bothered, and brusquely directed me to bathroom instead of just giving me a damned napkin. I'm sure times are tough but they don't have to be stingy with their napkins for god's sake! There are TONs of cute Italian delis in Long Island with great food and warm service, but this certainly is not one of them. read more
