Pastrami and half sour and slaw
Daniel B.

What is the deal with the Capital District and half-sours? Ben & Bill's is fine. It promises to be "The Best Deli between New York City and Montreal". Maybe that's true. But that would be sad. I think ultimately Gershon's is better by a hair. I liked the Gershon's Pastrami better. But Ben & Bills has better bread. The critical flaw was that all the bread was not covered with meat. Could you imagine going to the Carnegie deli? And getting a sandwich where there were several bites of just plain bread? Sacrilege. But it's hot pastrami and hot corned beef and full size slices of rye bread. And that is always a tasty treat.

Just look at the size of the portions!

Not really a deli. It's part of Price Chopper, average food. Not authentic. Disappointed.

Hands down the best rye bread ever. I always get the egg salad sandwich. The home made potato chips and the pickled tomatoes are awesome.

Located inside a Price Chopper (not Market 32) which takes away from the "ambiance" of a busy Jewish deli.

I will always support local delis and restaurants however sometimes we have to be honest with…read moreourselves when writing reviews on places that we WANT to love. First off I'm not sure what food people in these reviews are eating, because in my experience the Italian mix sub was very bland, the bread was dry, and the meat looked pale and weird. That ambience of the place was nostalgic which is the reason why I gave it 3 stars and not 2. The woman helping me was friendly enough but made it a point to tell me how gas prices were fine at $4.10 per gallon as long as Trump was the president, which annoyed me because it gives an indication that details don't matter here. Given the taste of the $15 small sub I paid for it definitely tracks. Be your own critic, but for me it's the history of this place and not the food has people coming back. I won't be one of them.

After all these years, Fiorello still serves the best Italian sub in this region in my book…read more Service is warm, friendly, and helpful like you'd expect from a mum and pop shop, and I love that this is a local family-run business. Some notable changes I noticed during the most recent visit include a big flat screen TV and tables and chairs indoors. The freezer apparently was out of order, but I would have loved to get their tiramisu which is also one of the best I've ever had. Their sub always strikes the right balance in the dressing, bread, meats, and toppings. Toppings are consistently good quality, and you can customise your sub by asking staff what you do and don't want on it. I hope they stay healthy and busy for decades to come.
