Home made meatballs, not from a can, sausage and peppers, again, homemade on site. When we go I usually get the chicken cutlet. (I'm reading a review from 4 years ago saying the cutlet should be hot, well, dammit, did he ask for it hot? I was given the option. Because if you ask for it hot, and travel, and it gets cold and soggy, it's worse than having it cold in the first place!) My husband gets the meatball. My dad just got the Philly cheese steak, said it was the best he's ever had, and he's had a lot of them, he's 87. Paul catered my son's wedding reception. We gave him a stipulation, no onions in anything. Anything. And he pulled it off spectacularly. A new deli opened in town, tried them out of curiosity. Nope. Sticking with Paul's. He's the best.

He prepared my sandwich. What I really liked was that While the food was heating up, he did the payment at the cash register, and when he was done, he washed his hands at the sink and put on gloves to finish my sandwich. I was very happy by that. The sandwich was pretty good. I was very happy with it as well, as the brownie that I purchased, I would highly recommend to go for homemade soup or sandwich. They also had a lot of pre-made chicken cutlets and grilled chicken in the deli as well as meals prepackaged. I recommend checking it out.

Long-time fan, but disappointed with the new Italian combo portions…read more I've been coming here for years and have always loved the Italian combo grinder -- the bread is still fantastic (crusty outside, soft inside, just right), the long hot peppers pack that perfect kick, and the overall flavor profile is still spot-on. The shop looks great after the recent updates under new ownership -- cleaner, brighter, more inviting space. That said, I was really let down on my first visit since the change. The grinder I got for lunch had noticeably less meat than before. What used to be a hearty, well-stacked sandwich with generous layers of cold cuts now felt skimpy on the protein -- probably about half (or less) the amount I was used to. The other components (cheese, veggies, hot sauce) were fine, but the lack of meat made it feel more like a veggie-heavy sub than the satisfying Italian combo I always counted on. Everything else was good -- friendly service, quick prep, fresh ingredients -- so I'm hoping this was just an off day or an adjustment period with the new team. I'd love to see the portions return to their old generous standard, because the foundation here is still strong. 2.5/5 stars from me right now. Still my go-to deli in the area, but I'll be watching to see if the meat comes back in full force. Keep up the great bread and peppers!

Finally made it here today 10.21.20 The prices are reasonable. The place is very clean. They have the hand sanitizer out for your use. Masks are enforced. The staff was so nice.

They have specials Thursday Friday Saturday evenings. Deli sandwiches & grinders. Much to choose from. Getting back to the pizza. Ordered a tomato pie with bacon & garlic.
