I can see she will go far and one day own her own business some day.. Good food Great experience will be back again!! read more

This local spot is such a hidden gem to tourists. We stumbled upon it years ago in the summertime when visiting the South Jersey Shore while on our way to Cape May Brewery. It is small but has a huge menu. We love their cheesesteaks but all their food is so good. The service is fast & friendly. We are so happy we found this wonderful local place. read more

Fabulous experience for takeout last month and now today. In fact its always good. The hoagies are packed with meat, the rolls were great and the condiments we asked for on the side were packaged well. Today the cheesesteak was premium and cooked the "Philly way". One time I remarked we were staying in a hotel so they included cups and paper plates with our order. It was a busy lunchtime but they still managed to be quick and polite and our takeout order was perfect, all times including today. read more

5 stars, amazing deli, homemade breakfast and a wide menu. Came here on my lunch break, live up near the ac area came here for a quick bite ended up leaving with a whole platter and a filled belly for a good price. Highly recommend if your coming through the area looking for a fresh cooked meal over processed food read more

Ordered a grilled chicken club and buffalo chicken tender wrap. We walked in to order, waited about 40min for takeout. There was only one older couple sitting and having lunch. I can't figure out what all these kids working there were actually doing. There was a whole lot of nothing happening. We were asked several times 'what did you order?' My husband said he could see the cook in the back eating and we still didn't have our order. If I hadn't paid up front I think we would have walked out. When we finally got home and opened our food it was a disappointment. The wrap at $11.00 had very tiny pieces of lettuce barely any. The chicken sandwich at $11.25 was really small and had very little chicken on it. My husband was joking the cook ate the rest of our chicken. We won't return. read more

They have good food fair prices good and fast service. We will be back again soon with the next trip down.

nice place for a quick bite, food was good, served hot as it should be, employees were friendly and courteous. Desert case looked inviting!!

We've eaten here before and always enjoyed the food. The last few visits we ordered sandwiches to go, which we also did today. I ordered a BLT without mayo for my wife and emphasized that there shouldn't be any mayo. You can probably guess what we found when we opened the sandwich after we had settled in for our lunch a few miles away. Lots of mayo on the BLT. My wife tried her best to wipe it off but whoever prepared the BLT really went to town with the mayo. I'd also requested crispy bacon, which this was not. She tossed the sandwich. Lesson learned - check your food here before you leave if you make a special request. read more

Erma Deli & Pizzeria - BLT with lots of unwanted mayo and not-crispy bacon. - Delis Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

No longer reasonably priced place to eat... Dissapointed... outrageous price increases. I get it cost of every day items have increased, but seriously charging $2 extra per hoagie for pickles and peppers is outrageous! Do you put an entire pepper and pickle on there? I'll bet the answer is no. For the cost of takeout we could have eaten out at a restaurant, got more, and paid the same. Sadly, will no longer be eating here. Other good local places around that are cheaper. Beware of sudden and drastic price increases. read more

Came here for dinner after checking into a local campground. We had the option to order for takeout or dine in with no server, most likely related to understaffing. We elected to dine it. We ordered way too much food. The pizzas are huge and pretty good. We ordered an Hawaiian, veggie and pepperoni. All were good. Also ordered a side of fried mushrooms....not so good. There were deep fried slices and not a mushroom leaving them very bready and flavorless. The staff was very friendly and busting it keeping up with all of the orders. They were slammed and the pace had no A/C, probably another reason for. Or wanting table side service. Kudos the the team. read more

I liked this place. Fun decorations if you eat in. I got the Erma cheesesteak special. It was a spicy saucy mess. I was in the mood for a mess so I liked it! The roll was bready and a little big for this cheesesteak. The meat got a little lost in everything. There was a nice young woman doing a very good job of running the front of the house. read more

The food is so good.I order delivery and everything I order cameos fast and the portions are great. The prices are good. I recommend it.

Pizza here used to be the best in the area. Not any longer. Paid too much for toppings, wasn't cut well, and very soggy. Even with two hands, it was difficult to eat. Can't speak for anything else here, as I haven't tried them lately. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. read more

Ordered takeout during the week and was told it would be 20 minutes. It was closer to 30, but that didn't bother us. Girls at the front were friendly. Business is taking precautions in having dividers up, hand sanitizer available, masks required, etc. We got: 1 cheese pizza, 1 pepperoni, 1 chicken cheesesteak, 1 order of corn fritters, 20 wings, and a 99¢ Arizona iced tea... and it was $69 and some change. I was pretty blown away by the cost. We live in the Wildwoods and I'm used to paying inflated tourist prices, but even this was high for us for some pizza, sides, and a sandwich. The food was okay. Pizza and wings were the highlight. Corn fritters were very small. "Chicken Cheesesteak Special" was $9-10 for some little pieces of broccoli added in. Not worth it. read more

I think the photo says it all. barely sliced, soggy and undercooked dough sitting underneath a giant pool of sauce grease and cheese. I will never order another pizza again without checking it at the door. And I will never order from here again. read more

Great service food and staff!! Wonderful place to eat. Very fast delivery also. We ate in once and would absolutely go again!!

Ordered a salad to go. Sounded delicious on the menu. Come home to find that the chicken, still hot, was put on top of the salad right from the grill then the container was closed. The lettuce was warm and wilted, cheese melted, the other ingredients mushy. Completely inedible. $15 right in the trash. read more

Sadly the portions are getting smaller and prices are higher. They used to have the biggest wings ive seen now they are tiny and charge 16 bucks. Salads are small not worth the prices read more

My family really liked this place. we got the bbq chicken pizza and it was the best bbq chicken pizza of my life. the wings were also really good, but the wings were 17$ for 10 of them and blue cheese. really good would recommend read more

Great food. Great service. The staff is so friendly and efficient. There breakfasts are the best.

I am officially giving up on ordering from Erma Deli. I see why nobody eats here anymore. Disgusting read more

Erma Deli & Pizzeria - a sub sandwich on a piece of paper - Delis Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Pizza and food OK. Not bad. But we know where to get higher quality pizza for the same price. We ordered a pizza for delivery at a local brewery, and the pizza came uncut. So someone made a mistake, that is making dinner really ackward. Ever get a pizza not cut at all? We had to rip it apart with our bear hands- messy and inconvenient. We are on a family vacation, so we do not have pizza cutting implements on us. We are all.wondering WTF!?! ...but again we are in Jersey, lousy service and everything else is the norm. 1st & last time- even if we lived here- mostly because it's just OK, but not cheap and much better delivery is available for the same price. Delivery guy was super friendly, and likeable. FYI I worked in the pizza industry and never ever had lettuce on a regular pizza. Maybe a crisp Mexican style tortilla pizza, BUT never regular crust- not a good idea, cheap- nor looking forward to leftovers. read more

We used to live right down the road from Erma Deli, we would order from there at least once a week. We are also a USCG family. Today Erma Deli was offering a free meal to active duty members. You have no idea how much this meant to my family. I cried when I saw that one of our favorite joints was helping out to assist CG families during this time, and I'm crying writing this. It has been a very hard few weeks, and just knowing that people like you guys are in this world, has lessened the burden. There aren't enough words to tell you how we feel. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love Erma Deli! Did you do 22 today? read more

Pizza is one step below carnival pizza and isn't good at all. However- the burger I had was very good! It came with a huge order of fries- that were hot and salty and stayed crispy because they served them right in a paper bag. My husband also said the calzone was great! We also got a munchie sampler- and all the items were good. It was busy- and they were doing an amazing job keeping up. I'd go again- just avoid the pizza. read more

Terrible service. Everytime we order they mess something up or forget part of the order. Ordered a wrap and they gave me the complete wrong wrap and when I called was telling me they didn't make it wrong they made what was on the slip. I explained it's still the wrong order. It's just your person taking the orders fault not the cooks fault but either way the restaurants fault. I went back to pick up my correct order and it was now just before closing. They still made the order wrong and it was too late to take it back because they were closed. read more

We go to Erma Deli often. They have a dynamite breakfast and delicious steaks and pizza. The shop was redecorated this year and looks great!! We own Holly Shores Camping Resort and our campers love Erma Deli. read more

Taken food out many times, always good! Their red sauce is delish and I really like their meatball sub.

Used to love this place but it's really gone down hill! Ordered a Buffalo chicken salad and got home to no chicken on it, how do you forget the chicken?? And my fiancé ordered a chicken tender HOAGIE and it came just chicken tenders on a long roll with no lettuce, tomato, onions or anything. Was not even worth it to drive back and get our order fixed. read more

Always skimping me on the meat in my turkey sandwich. All gravy, no turkey. It's winter but I'm trying to pack on more than just carbs for my hibernation. Let's step it up guys, we can do better. On the positive side, the mac bites are what keep me coming back. That's why I gave any stars. Pair it with a little ketchup/buffalo sauce mixture and MMMM that baby is tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent!! Very generous helpings and service was outstanding. Our new "go to" place!

Great cheesesteaks at a great price! And a great selection. You can great a couple steaks and a tastykake and go eat at Cape May Brewery.

Picked up pizza here during the 4th of July weekend. The pizza was very good and reasonably priced. We ordered white, sausage, peppers and onions, and all were very good. read more

How long does it take to make a salad?! That's what I'm sitting here wondering after I ordered two Greek salads exactly one hour ago for delivery. After forty minutes I called to make sure my order was sent out the girl said yes it should be there any minute. Another 10 minutes have gone by. Jesus Christ by now I could've been to acme and back, made my salad and eaten already. This is not the only time I've had this happen to me. Before they set my order as pick up instead of delivery and when I finally got my sandwich it was ice cold. NEVER AGAIN. Ok just called to cancel my order and someone who claimed to be the manager got on the phone and claimed the order was delivered and a tip was put on my credit card! I said I've been here all night nothing was delivered! So beware if your ordering delivery and pay on your credit card they do not ask for photo id!!! They will deliver to the wrong house and not think twice of it! read more

Erma Deli & Pizzeria - Ordered TWO SALADS at 6:05 it's now 7:08 and still nothing. Absolutely horrible service. - Delis Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

They got our order wrong again!!! Everytime we go there, they get it wrong. And for the price we paid, it shouldn't be! We are suckers for going back, I admit that! BUt since the original owner sold, this place has gone down the tubes! The girl who took our order was spot on: we read her slip, but between the cook and whoever put the order together, their combined IQ Score can be measured with your fingers. read more

We ordered the large cheese with meatballs and mushrooms while enjoying beer at the Cape May Brewing Co. Good! They delivered and we hear the wraps are good! read more

Cute deli, looking forward to my food. Not one chef or side chef is wearing a mask and gloves. Hoping my order doesn't come with a side of corona virus. read more

Dropped by for a quick Saturday night dinner since this place is just down the street from our house. Very cute interior and friendly service. Hubby had the French onion soup which was very tasty. He also ordered the Erma's cheese steak special. Nice sized portion. This is the tastiest cheese steak sandwich we had thus far on the East coast. I ordered the Erma's Italian grinder. The sandwich was crispy and warm, just lacking a little bit of tang. Make sure you request for some pickles or hot banana peppers for that added zip. Curly fries were yummy. We will definitely come back to try their pizzas. read more

Hoagie are very good. Not so much for pizza they add some kind of hot spice to there pizza sauce. Just not for me

Ordered from here multiple times hoping I could say something nice about it but every time I did they messed it up and it's almost always the same thing. I would order cheese fries and they would never bring the cheese. THIS IS THE FINAL TIME I WILL BE ORDERING. I called and was reassured that the cheese and sauces would be dropped off I waited a hour and let my food get cold just for them to be a no show and now their closed.... What a coincidence read more
