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 pricing is excellent. The meat is fresh, and helping customers when it's your turn takes only minutes. 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.

We order so often I signed onto her loyalty program to get 10% off my orders. I am an elite yelp member and I've never remembered to review this place until we've been getting subs from them for over a year. It was the 2nd place I tried to get a sub from when I moved here and I've never gone back to the first place I tried because these subs are that good. It takes time to make subs when there is only one or two people working and they have a lot of orders. Wait the 20 minutes and be patient and it will be worth it.

It's just that I remember the days of the Neapolitan pizza and white bread and a fuller menue. The sandwiches are served without sides--no chips, even for sale separately. The decor has been updated, thankfully, since the new management. It just seems like there is less now. Fewer options in the bakery case, fewer menu options. I hope they will continue to do what they do well and then add to the menu.

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.

Not only are their sandwiches great, the service here is impeccable. Can't wait to go back and try some more sandwiches.

The turkey and Swiss on rye was ok...the bread was kind of the kids lunch variety rather than the baked sliced loaf most NY delis have...kind of skimpy sized sandwich for the price (turkey is not cooked in house), but they do it with proper spicy brown and Swiss. The Matzoh Ball soup is worth three stars alone.

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
