It was like a smaller, family-owned version of a Starsky's. There are waaay more groceries like bottled sauces, canned goods, deli counter, than breads. A good portion of the breads don't seem to be baked there. Got a coupla paczki and they were ok, $1.75ea, not super fresh tasting, but not stale or anything. Double Smoked Kielbasa was good. Other than breaded cutlets, I didn't see prepared foods, but then again I wasn't really looking! If you're from a bigger city with access to such European grocery stores, St Joseph "Bakery" won't be a standout.

An assorted sub is $5.75. I ordered some wood smoked kielbasa, kabanosy, and hot pepperettes. All were very reasonably priced and tasted fantastic. They have lots of polish goods and other european items. It's a pretty big place. They have a freezer area with frozen meat on a stick, cabbage rolls, and perogies. Towards the far right of the store are loaves of breads and rolls in bags. I'm not sure why, but none of these items have prices on them. We did buy a few loaves of italian and french bread, they were $2.20 a piece. Again, very reasonable. Everyone in here was super friendly and they speak polish too. I will be back for more deli meats and to try a sub!

The produce is always fresh and carefully curated, while the butcher counter is a standout, offering top-quality meats that rival specialty shops. There's an old-school vibe here that makes shopping feel personal and community-oriented. Whether it's their homemade sausage, fresh-cut steaks, or locally-sourced fruits and vegetables, you can count on Pupo's to bring in the best. It's not just a grocery store -- it's a reminder of how shopping used to feel: friendly, reliable, and rooted in pride. Saluti

They still remember exceptional customer service, as they did when we were growing up. Apples in the big bin come from the orchards, and they save you a trip from going to the orchards.

The checkout lines go fast, and you always feel like you are in/out of there quicker than at any other store. This place is a hidden GEM.

It was right around the corner from Cippys. It was like heaven walking in their door! The sights and smells of a good Italian bakery welcome you immediately. There were at least 4 different cases of yummy sweet delights. They had a nice selection of cheeses, meats, and shelves of Italian groceries. Items you might not normally find in your local grocery stores. How about some baccala? The star of the show here is their bread. There's a separate room you enter to make your bread selections. Again, the smell!! I didn't see anyone entering that didn't leave with bread. We checked. This place is 26 miles from our house and requires making the trip across the border. We'll be back! 2023-98

I've been wanting to try their Sicilian-style pizza for quite some time, and my birthday cookie…read morereward finally gave me the perfect excuse to celebrate. They already have a fantastic thin-crust pizza, so I asked if they could make the Sicilian style with the muffuletta toppings. No problem at all. It took a little longer than expected (ordered for 4:45, ready at 5:00), but it was absolutely worth the wait. Ordering is easy online or by phone. If you get voicemail, just call back - they're probably on the phone with another customer. Now, about that pizza. The thick Sicilian crust had the perfect chew: light and airy inside with a crisp, golden bottom. Every bite was loaded with the bold salty toppings, bringing a savory, slight spice/pickled kick that paired perfectly with the oils and melted cheese. The toppings reached edge to edge, creating a pizza that was hearty, flavorful, and impossible to put down. Please pencil in a visit to The Deli on a Wednesday to grab one of their pizzas. I do recommend ordering ahead to claim your dough. This version reads like a Yelp review and really highlights the texture and flavor of a loaded Sicilian pie.

I had the Sting which features their handmade, always fresh, never frozen chicken cutlets. It also has their hot honey which isn't too spicy it gives it a good kick that compliments the rest of the ingredients. We also got the Art Corvalay which was absolutely amazing. Not only are their sandwiches great, the service here is impeccable. Can't wait to go back and try some more sandwiches.
