I've been to Italy, so you can't fake the funk on the eats, cause I'll call you out. My first encounter with an Italian rice ball (no, not rice queen, fellassssss) was in Bologna. It was love at first taste. This spot has rice balls that made me forget my first love. It was a crispy crust filled with flavorful rice, glorious gobs of cheese, parsley, bits of chicken and sausage....and when you pour the tomato sauce on it...oh boy.... They have a ton of authentic Italian stuff you can eat....in friggin butt-lick new jersey...who knew? read more

Mixed review here.. I need to go back and try it again to be sure.. I had 2 slices of Pizza one was plain and the other was with chicken... The plain slice I liked, it was't thick no too oily and it tasted good... The chicken on the other hand greasy thick and did not taste good at all.. But I don't think I should judge this place just yet.. I'll be going back to give it a 2nd try.. read more

Decent Italian food but prices are outrageous. The food just isn't worth the price, plain and simple. Many other great Italian places near by that I'd recommend over Cioffi's. read more

Really expensive, and while the food was a huge portion, it was pretty bad. Got a tin of Baked Ziti & chicken parm from the steam trays, and was charged $20 for it! The baked ziti was so overcooked it was softer than baby food, and the chicken was tough, rubbery and overcooked. As I was ordering, I even asked "How much will this be?" and was told "Oh, I don't know, I don't do pricing." When the guy finally rang up my order and saw my shock over the $20 charge, his response was "Oh, first time here?" and shrugged. Yes, it was, stereotype pizza guy, and also my last. Plenty of better places in the area, for sure. read more

Dude. How has no one reviewed this yet? Cioffi's, to me, is the quintessential italian deli. Whenever I bring home friends from outside the tri-state area, Cioffi's subs are an absolute must. I must show these people thats sandwiches from Subway and Quizno's are dog food compared to a real deal italian sub. Their pizza and chicken parm also ROCKS. I haven't been in here in a while, but I'm assuming that the Cioffi family still welcome everyone in to the store like they are their long long seventh cousin once removed. read more

This local Springfield Italian deli is clean, well lit, and excellently managed. They do a great job on any Italian sandwich. Side salads are all spot on. The dinners are very good and the pizza is good but not my local favorite. I always try to visit this place at least once a week. read more

I had ordered meatball sub today for lunch and it lacked flavor and tasted bland. I've never had a bad tasting Meatball Sub before. There was so much hype about this spot but really didn't like the taste. I'll give them a try again with something different and maybe Amy experience would be better. read more

Now this is a deli! The best food, best ingredients, best people! The owners, Joey and Jerry, are the best and most friendly people you'll ever meet. This is pure Italian cooking; everything takes authentic like Mamma would've made and it shows. I highly recommend any of the dinners, sandwiches...heck, everything here is great! I'm a big deli person and usually, you either get great food/bad service or the exact opposite. Here, you get the best of both worlds! If your ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping in here (and do engage the owners in conversation, they are the funniest people you'll ever meet). read more

Three employees had their mask off when i went to pick up food, the owner denied it. It is also a crowded sort of hang out spot while this is going on, I wont be back. read more

Hands down the BEST Italian food around. I have been going here for years and Jerry and his brother Joey make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door. Great establishment if you want to eat in or take out. Throw a dart at the menu and anything they make you'll love. read more

There is no better place to indulge in an authentic Italian sub sandwich than Cioffi's. The food is always fresh and the staff is always pleasant (not the other way around). My forever go to place! read more

Best little deli in town - I had the seafood salad and a #5 Cioffi sub + a stuffed green pepper!! Perfect meal -- great atmosphere! read more

It's almost impossible to come here & not leave with a gut busting meal. From the rice balls, prepared entrees and sandwiches, to the cookies & chocolate-shelled cannoli, everything is just so good! read more

Usually very happy, come here often for dinner after work. Tonight, not so much. Told them I wasn't very hungry, just wanted a half order, 2 meatballs and a little bit of pasta. $10.70. For 2 meatballs and no, I didnt get bread. I questioned it and they were like 'yeah' no other explanation. A full dinner is usually $13 or so and and twice the food. 80% of the price for 50% of the food?? I wanted to send someone in after me to get a side of 2 meatballs, because I have ordered that before and swore it was about $3-4. Ripped off!! So, I tested my price theory today from my review above. I went in and only asked for 2 meatballs and a little sauce, no bread, $3.21. 18 days ago when I went in and asked for 2 meatballs over a tiny bit of pasta, they charged me $10.70. So I paid $7.49 for a little linguini!! Just like the reviewer previously that said prices were always inconsistent, here is a perfect example. This pricing is insane and inconsistent. read more

I've been going to Cioffi's for years and can confirm that you won't find a more friendly place that makes consistently delicious food. Everything is always excellent from pizza to sandwiches to prepared meals. They clearly use quality ingredients and are skilled at putting it all together. Stop in and visit Jerry, Joey, their Dad and staff. You won't be disappointed! read more

Love that you can order online! Nice little pizzeria/ deli in the area. Ordered a tuna sub with a side of fries. Tuna sandwich was good, not the best I've had but was pretty good. Loved the fries! They were steak fries with sea salt and pepper! Yummy! read more

Way too expensive! They owner is a character who likes to hear himself talk. Was waiting for a meal to come out and he was talking of old stories and not paying attention. I had to interupt him, in which i got attitude for doing. Then when I get home they messed up my order. Average food, below average Pizza & Calzones. The son is the only one who was helpful and concerned for its customers. read more

Good deli with inconsistent and very expensive prices. The owners seem to price dishes on a random basis. I was charged three prices for the same sandwich in a two week period. Food is good but not nearly as good as the Mozarella factory nearby. read more

great place. I love the meat rice balls and the Barbecue chicken pizza is amazing. the owner and staff make you feel at home whether you are there for your first time or long time customer read more

By far the best Italian deli in the area! The paninis are to die for! All the food I've had here is great, actually, and the owner is super friendly. He always makes you feel at home. I gave 4 stars only because they are a bit pricey for a deli and some of the employees are hard to communicate with. Other than that this is one of my favorite lunch spots. read more

Some of the best Italian food in the area! Much of the menu is pricey but the portions are pretty generous. Pizza is good but everything else there is so much better making it not worth getting. The specials of the day are always great. I enjoy getting the special chicken dish of the day with a side of pasta, the cost is high but I often get a meal and a half out of it. The soups are always homemade and delicious. The best thing about this place is the sandwich station. You can get a super tasty sandwich for the same price youd pay at any local deli but here it's extra fresh meats and 50% larger. Staff is nice as is the owner Mr Cioffi who often is there working the register. read more

Cioffi's has basically everything you could ask for in a deli/pizzeria. All the food is fresh and delicious and theirs good variety. The pasta fagioli soup is exceptional and their eggplant parm is some of the best I've had. On the pizzeria side my go-to slice is the square margarita slice. The only drawback and the reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is the prices. After reading other reviews I can see I'm not the only one with these complaints. But I suppose the old saying hold true, you get what you pay for in life. 4 stars. read more

They have the best chicken salad I've had. I always get it with cherry peppers, kalamata olives and a hot pepper on the side. The sausage and peppers are also very good. The staff is also very friendly - highly recommend the place. read more

Italians are well known for the sandwiches and Cioffi's delivers one mean sandwich. I ordered a whole ham, provolone, and salami sandwich for $7.00 with all the fixings. Not knowing what I was getting into, I received an entire Italian loaf of bread with the absolute best cold cuts and cheese imaginable, sprinkled with Italian dressing. I definitely did not expect such a monstrosity to be delivered straight into my gut with enough food to spare for lunch another day. Awesome prices for enormous portions for sure. If you're hungry, I strongly recommend going to Cioffi's Deli and getting one of these sandwiches. read more

In an area seriously lacking some easy, delicious, and local lunch options Cioffi's is a standout. Not only are their Italian subs amazingly tasty, they have all the other delicious homemade stuff you would expect from an Italian establishment (i.e. 'za, calzones, pasta, salads, etc.). My personal favorite is the prosciutto and provolone sandwich. They slice the deli meat fresh and the portion is more than generous. A half sandwich would be a whole almost anywhere else! Definitely recommend this place to all those looking for delicious Italian fare and a break from the mediocre lunch chain. read more

We work in Kenilworth and this my favorite lunch destination. The staff is nice. The place is immaculate, nice tables outside and the food always fresh never disappoint. I have had pasta salads, soups and sandwiches. I am very picky when it comes to food and I can say this food is always fresh and good. read more

5 stars for ruining my life. I LOVE sandwiches and macaroni salad. It's easily my favorite lunch, and I eat them all the time, including making it myself, something I considered myself very good at doing. Then I tried Cioffi's. I can no longer enjoy any other sandwich or macaroni salad. This shit is incredible. They put just a touch of parmesan in their mac salad, and their bread, meat, and veggies are all the freshest around. Anything I try to make myself is no longer enjoyable. Corner deli's simply don't cut it anymore. I've even caught myself turning down sandwiches prepared by my girlfriend, knowing that it would simply increase my desire for a Cioffi's sub with macaroni salad. Only con is that their specialty pizza and prepared meals are definitely pricey, but their sandwiches are priced about the same as anywhere else in the area. read more

I was born and raised in New York City so I was practically raised on pizza. It is my favorite food. So when I moved to New Jersey I thought I would never find a slice as good as the ones I would have in NYC. All of that changed when I found Cioffis. The crust was crisp, the flavors were amazing and the staff made me feel like I was visiting family. If I could I would live solely on their pizza for the rest of my life. read more

Every time we have ordered it has been great! Order always comes right and incredibly fast. I have ordered pizzas, sandwiches, and entrees. The pizza always comes nice and hot and always tastes great. I wasn't expecting such a large size for a half sandwich either! Will continue to order & recommend! read more

It's hard to find a good Italian deli in the area but this is one of the better ones. They make a grilled veal sandwich which is delicious. All types of subs hot foods and pizza are available. Prices are average. read more

Cioffi's spoiled me rotten. Why should I cook? OMG! ...their entrees, soups, salads, pizza & sandwiches SUPERB! They'll make you feel like family....always fresh, delicious, mouthwatering menu items...so close to home in Springfield...which is why I'm a repeat customer more than 10yrs.....nice bistro tables to eat outside.....we love it! Carla Wright read more

Frequent 3 times a week sometimes 4 Delicious Friendly staff except for the big guy with gray hair in the cold sandwich section, guy has a major attitude problem. read more

I have to admit the food is good but I can't get past the terrible service. I almost feel like I'm bothering these people when I order from them! I'm going to find another place around here where they value the customers! Adios amigo. read more

This place should be called not enuff. The pizza had not enuff sauce, not enuff cheese, not enuff toppings. They cheaped out in every respect. This is how you lose customers. Service was good and friendly but the pizza was about a 3 on a scale of 10. Might have better use as a door mat. read more

Pizza is ok, not great. I am particularly not a fan of their salads due to the generous amount of mayo, they are so soupy...yikes! On the other hand, their meatballs are simply the best around, all of their pasta dishes are delicious. I could eat their pasta sauce/gravy by itself, it is amazing. Their sandwiches are the best, they are generous with their meats, and the aged provolone is mouth-watering. The staff is very accommodating with special requests, as long as they are not too busy. read more

What happened to Cioffi's? Used to be a very good sandwich shop but now it's just an over priced dominos!! Bought cheese steak sandwiches. They were dry and over cooked. The sandwiches were mostly bread with a little bit of cheese and 2 slices of thin steak. NOT RECOMMENDED! My husband ordered stuffed shells. The portion size was tiny (5 small shells). It came with a slice of stale Italian bread! Also not recommended! We ordered a Margherita pizza with eggplant and ricotta While the pizza was pretty good it was overlooked and I didn't taste any olive oil. It cost us $23.90 plus tax for the pizza! All totaled the order for 2 sandwiches, 1 stuffed shells and a pizza cost us $65.00 plus tax, and a online order fee, delivery fee, and tip. I have been going to Cioffi's since it opened and Jerrys father ran it. Not doing a good job Jerry. Your fired!!!! read more

Great food and the owner Jerry couldn't be nicer. Always makes time to chat with my family. My daughter loves the meatballs

white pie was too garlicky. they were kinda rude on the phone when I asked for delivery.

Went in person today to place an order for next day delivery, and one of the owner's took my order. He was so rude to me, after i walked out, I called to cancel my order, as i was questioning why I was giving this jerk my money. Told me he was "So busy and didn't have time for me to think, I just needed to place the order!'. My family and I go here quite often, as we are from the area, but I will take my business elsewhere from now on. There are too many good pizzarias in the area to deal with bad service. read more

At 5:13, I placed an order for a low-fat focaccia pizza and a spinach salad with chicken. After repeating my order 3 separate times to 2 persons, I was told-- as is the norm with take-out-- that it would be ready in 15 minutes. About 10 minutes later, I left to pick it up at the restaurant, which is a mere 2 miles and 5 minutes from me. When I arrived, the salad was prepared, the pizza was not. It is normal to give 5-10 minutes grace period for food to be prepared, as it is not an exact science and establishments can be swamped at times. I waited an additional 37 MINUTES in the restaurant, for a total preparation time of 52 minutes!! I waited partially because my order was already in and it was snowing and partially out of curiosity-- to see what sort of remedy and apology Cioffi's would offer. A simple "sorry for the wait" would suffice for a 10 minute wait, and that's all I got. A true professional establishment would at least offer a partial refund for such egregious service, which I did not get. The pizza was fine-- could have used more salt-- and the salad was quite good. Not everyone will experience the same awful service I did, but if and when you do, don't expect any sort of professionalism from Cioffi's. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING HERE. On a side note, I had previously been here for lunch-- very good sandwiches but far higher price than normal for a Central Jersey establishment. Try Village Trattoria or Zappia's in Summit instead!! read more
