Saw them on social media and some of the sandwiches that were featured looked yummy. Got the La Almalfi (Prosciutto, sweet soppressata, capicola, provolone, sweet peppers, oil, vinegar). First it's hefty. Was only able to eat half, now I don't have to cook dinner lol the sweet peppers are a great add! May go back and try some of their other specialties. Shout out to Ashley - she was great, bubbly and super nice! read more

I remember when I was just a little girl walking into a house that was a Deli and telling my Dad Why can't we have a Deli in our house. That's right Leggios is back and ! Open for over a year now how much just finding out. Just as soon as we walked in, hellas were greeted by Ashley so friendly and helpful she offered us some fresh mozzarella and tomato made by the owner . Absolutely delicious btw. Onto the heros: I ordered a chicken cutlet hero with bacon American cheese, lettuce the and Russian dressing; my bestie Tina order the chicken bacon ranch hero. We both took a bite immediately hear that crunch from the fresh baked bread , which you have the option of seeded or seedless I preferred seed less. The chicken cutlets cooked perfectly All in all the perfect hero I will be going back even if it's 15 miles away it's well worth the Trip ! read more

Leggios Deli - #1 Italian Special, with sweet peppers and Semolina bread, Sooooo Good! - Delis Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

I heard that Leggios had been renovated, so I decided to stop by. I've always loved the old sandwiches from the original owners, and I'm happy to say they've definitely paid homage to that tradition. The renovations are beautiful--modern, fresh, and inviting. They now offer coffee and muffins in addition to their specialty sandwiches. I didn't get my usual Italian sandwich this time, so I can't compare, but I tried the turkey and cheese instead. It was tasty, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Even though they were closing, they still took the time to make me a sandwich, which I truly appreciated. read more

Stopped in to this local deli. The service was great. I let them know it was my first visit. They explained the offerings. I ordered the large Italo Americano sandwich and made it a combo. The sandwich was hearty and delicious. For $1.99 more you make it a combo and receive a can soda, small chips, and cold salad. They gave me a sample of greek salad for free. The business feels homey and staff is pleasant. The food is to go only. I would recommend calling ahead to place your order. I loved everything except the chocolate chip cookies I bought on the side. They were just plain. read more

It's the new 2025 leggios it's not the original but that's hard hard to top. They said they have the same bread. The bread and sandwiches was pretty good again not as good as the original but then again I forgot the peppers and not I don't eat pork I got turkey and Swiss back in the days I got the Italian special. The service was great! They was closing there doors and they let us in. They close after 6 and we got there 6:05-6:10 and he served us. Great guy I was talking to one of the owners he was a very nice guy down to earth we spoke like we knew each for years. Talking about vacation, business and so on! The ambiance is definitely way better they spent 300,000 to fix it up and you can tell. It's very nice in there they did a good job on that. read more

We order egg sandwiches from here every weekend and they're so good! The staff is friendly.

Absolutely amazing customer service. I placed a very large, very last minute catering order for my brother's NYE party. They were so kind, patient, and accommodating. I spoke to a young woman whose name I don't know how to spell unfortunately (Sharai?) and she was fantastic. Their food is amazing, fresh, flavorful, and all the pasta salads and sides were packed so well. They also stayed open late to complete our order since it was so last minute. We are so beyond appreciative. Thank you so much Leggios! read more

Leggios Deli - Italian sub, chicken cutlet sub, eggplant sub - Delis Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

Run as fast as you can. Ordered a 1/2 hero, only to find droppings in the food. Spoke to them, no apologies at all. Instead, tried to tell me it was part of the meat. Not even offer to make a new one, and or a refund, Nothing. Horrible customer service. I will take my business to another store that actually CARES about the customer. read more

I still remember being a little girl walking into a house that doubled as a deli and asking my dad why we couldn't have one in our house. Fast forward to now... Leggio's is back and better than ever! They've been open for over a year--how am I just finding out?! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Ashley, who was so friendly and welcoming. She even offered us fresh mozzarella made by the owner--absolutely delicious, by the way. Now onto the heroes: I ordered a chicken cutlet hero with bacon, American cheese, lettuce, and Russian dressing. My bestie Tina went with the chicken bacon ranch. The second we took a bite, you could hear that perfect crunch from the fresh-baked bread (you can choose seeded or seedless--I'm team seedless). The chicken cutlet was cooked perfectly--honestly, just an all-around perfect hero. I would love if they had just a couple of little tables for you to sit an eat that would be perfect (maybe next time i go there will be) Safe to say, I'll definitely be back... even if it's 15 miles away. There really aren't delis like Leggios anymore! read more

Great sandwhiches! Tuesday after 2 is the time to fill up on the Special. Ask for the Semolina bread, dressing on the side.

Went do to the hype, place was not clean multiple open containers with food cross contamination that I could see and flies everywhere. I would not recommend and will not be back. read more

This is my go-to deli for hero's. I lived in Bay Shore for half of my life and never had a bad sandwich. My favorite is roast beef, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. The staff are friendly, the store is clean, and the pictures on the wall display the history of the deli. This is a must stop for a filling meal. read more

Great service and well made sandwiches. It's hard to find a hero spot that will make you sandwiches "the way you like them" and not "the way they want them". I have literally wall out on service from other places due to poor quality customer service. That not what you find here. Everything what great from being to end. Thank guys definitely a hidden gem. read more

With all things considered, this is more a letter of love and appreciation to the fellas at Leggio's. A long running local establishment taken away by time unfortunately. It's sad to hear about their closing but these are one of those things where you're atleast happy because it happened. Where else could you get a full sandwich with the works for a little over $6? My girlfriend and I shared sandwiches from here every so often for picnics and always enjoyed it. And no matter who you were or how often you came, the guys here treated you like family without fail. Leggio's forever. read more

My favorite deli of all time. Still love going there Thank you to the new owners for reopening a classic and best of luck! read more

Like he was a killer had the Italian dressing on the side it was excellent. We keep going back for more.

I have been going here since I was a kid in high school. That was 30 plus years ago. I met the new owners today when I went for a sandwich. I was surprised in a good way when I walked In. The new set up and owners are on par for what this place has been for ever. I have brought my kids here several times to share the nostalgia of my high school years. I was very impressed with the new owners and my Italian hero did not disappoint. Need to come here more often. To the new owners I say well done. read more

They brought me in with the 2 foot 20 and then still charge me for two separate sandwiches. All the food is good. I'll never come back because I was overcharged. read more

Great prices. Lots of choices on freshly prepared sandwiches, salads and wraps. Friendly staff. Clean environment.

Unbelievable food would recommend to everyone and great people very good experience overall!

First time at the renovated deli (I was a Leggios's customer since the 90s). Less quaint but much cleaner than when Joe and Lou were manning the counter, also more expensive like anything else but by no means unreasonable. Ordered the Italian classic with hot peppers which was my historical go-to. It was quite generous and very tasty but the bread is not quite as good as I remember - the new owner says he's using the same bakery but I remember the old heros having a somewhat crisper crust and not as much interior filling. Minor complaint, very glad to see them back in business and I'll be back! read more

I can't recommend this Deli enough. My husband was very excited to see it reopened in Bayshore. I got the waste watcher crack, pack for turkey Swiss lettuce, tomato, light, honey, mustard and avocado I couldn't finish. The hero is delicious and he got don't remember the name of it, but it had super solid and it was delicious. It was everything you want from an old-school deli sandwich. I highly recommend this place and this is coming from a former deli cook. read more

Leggios Deli - This is the other half of the hero that we couldn't finish with the leftover chips - Delis Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

Great heroes my favorites are the Italian and Texan I like it with no mayo and bbq instead.

Finally a 5 star Hero store in BayShore! Just renovated clean great customer service Overstuffed hero's Can't wait to go back again for the pastrami with melted cheese read more

I was not aware of this deli until a 6 foot hero was part of a holiday party I attended. It was beyond delicious. So fresh and so many layers and fillings. Can't wait to check it out in person soon! read more

This was the go to place back in the 70-80's. And the Food is great. Owner Billy is wonderful

Visited for sandwich pickup. Got Italian and turkey. Both pretty tasty. Old fashioned but tasty. As advertised, generous portions at 1970's prices at a location that's unusual. Spoke to owner, been at this 58 years. Former banker, turned deli man. Support your neighborhood small businesses. Thank you Yelp community, I would have never find places like this. read more

I'm literally at a loss for words right now. Some things in life are just poetic and beyond explanation. In my life food happens to be one of those things that can take me to a zen like state. Today I discovered what can only be described as a portal to a different time. Leggios deli is a cross between a deli, an abandoned house and the closet which you open to access the land of Narnia. It it's a literal shrine to everyone who has graced it's doors from the time of LBJ (including LBJ himself) forward a glitch in the matrix if you will. Walking into leggios THERE'S NO MENU.....The man behind the counter looked at me and simply said "You want the Italian?"..... Like a child who had just seen Santa Claus for the first time I simply nodded my head in a blank drunken stare. What was produced from behind the counter five minutes later can only be described as a work of art. The literal muse of a sandwich master who has perfected his craft (this literal one sandwich over decades)like the blacksmiths who made the swords of the samurai. The sandwich itself is served on an approximate 10 inch semolina hero with sesame seeds. It is graced with the most unxious Ham, Salami and Mortadella that has ever touched my lips. The provolone cheese can only be described as coming from the milk extracted from a virgin cow. Combine that with the lettuce, tomato, vinegar and oregano. The first bite will take you to a place which you have never been before. An Italian wonderland. In terms of sandwiches it leaves out the bullshit which has invaded modern day sandwiches. You won't find gimmicks like Mac and cheese or Mozzarella sticks. This is the most classic sandwich IVE EVER EATEN.... IT WAS SIX DOLLARS!!!! CASH. NO CARDS PLEASE!! If you live on Long island you need to make what I can only describe as a holy pilgrimage to Leggios. You will order ONE THING and it'll be the Italian. You won't get to customize it. You will eat it as the master intended. Afterwards you can message me and thank me for changing your life. I share this info with you all because this sandwich has made me love the humans as a species single handidly more. read more

Best deli. Very sad to see it closed. Great sandwiches and a family run business. My father took me as a kid and I took my kids.

These are the Best Hero's on Long Island, hands Down. It looks Rustic and Dirty, looks are Very Deceiving!!! Go Here You will NOT be disappointed!!! read more

As someone who was eating Leggio's heros as early as 1984 (I was born in March of '85 btw....my parents just happened to live a block away), I can say that Leggio's was way more than a sandwich shop....it was that, the REAL Bay Shore historical society, an ancestry.com database (as anyone who has ever had a conversation with Joey will attest to!), and sitcom all in one......especially when both Joey and Louie were behind the counter together arguing. Just about everyone who grew up in Bay Shore recognizes the role that Leggio's played in shaping the culture of our hood on the Great South Bay for generations. Sure, there have been the haters who criticized the establishment over the years, as painful as they were to listen to....but I had the privilege of working alongside both Joey and Louie in high school and all throughout college. Behind the counter, where those famous heroes were prepared and stored, was spotless. With the building now being in new hands after 60 plus years and an uncertain future for that iconic storefront on Fourth Ave, it kills me to think of it any other way. Thank you Joey, Louie & Marianne for your dedication to an establishment that was not only the unofficial hub of our town for so many years, but a beacon of class and dignity that most food establishments should look to live up to. read more

You'll live. And you haven't lived until you come here. Don't tell them what you want. Ask them. And say yes. And remember...you'll live.

Close forever :( wasa family owned hero shop that had famous people who love JOHN AND JOHN SNAPP WIT

It appears that Leggios is closed, I'm guessing for good. I told a coworker that there was something from the board of health stuck on the door when I stopped by today, he responded by Informing me that Louie died last November. I remember when my daughter was little, Joey would reduce the price a bit and insist on giving me yodels or something for my daughter, meanwhile Louie would be shouting, telling Joey to stop giving stuff away! Good memories here, sad news. read more

The very Best Heroes on Long Island! PERIOD! What's even better are Joey and Louies Hospitality and friendliness. They make you feel like family. God Bless! Mike M. read more

5 Stars and not JUST for the great deli sandwiches but for the legendary Joey and Louie who have been there since time began. We used to come quite often in the 80's where they made a big fuss over my Dad (Fred the Baker -- "Time to Make the Donuts") Joey would NOT take money from him no matter how hard my Dad tried. Sometimes he would relent and accept the cash -- and how surprised we were to find the money hidden back in our sandwiches on the way to the ferry! Had to remove part of a fiver from my mouth once! My sister went recently and remarked nothing had changed -- which is a good thing as these family run deli's are becoming a lost art. Bread and meats always top notch and generous portions. Next time you stop by -- tell them "Fred the Baker" sent you. Who knows -- you might wind up with some dough in your dough! read more

I've lived in the midwest and Hawaii and missed out on NY deli sandwiches for a good chunk of my life. I now appreciate a good deli sandwich sososossoo much. The good: The bread, semolina. A little crunch on the outside, so soft inside. Meat:Cheese ratio, 100% Toppings: tomatoes and onions were sliced exactly the way I wanted. Oil and vinegar, tops. Price: $6, are you kitten me??!! Other: The owners are incredibly sweet. The store itself is charming. I'm stopping in anytime I'm nearby. I'm so happy I found the gold standard of Italian heros. read more
