I went at 500 pm on Saturday. The meatballs looked so good! They "looked" delicious with lots of vegetables. The vegetables were good but the meatballs were hard as rock. They had very little sauce - so hard and dry. Even microwaving them was no help! I was starving and not able to walk back. I did call them but all they did was apologize. It was Mother's Day weekend and I really wanted just an edible meal. Nothing fancy - just edible. I will not be back. read more

Lenz Delicatessen - 2 dry meatballs with double vegetables. - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

great food, fast service always nice guys there - delivery guys are the best. I get regular hot plates from them always nice selections

Their food is abundance. The breakfast specials were terrific. I also ordered the roast beef hero, no cheese, no mayo, mustard lettuce tomatoes cooked to perfection. The roast beef very fresh also got the Neapolitan pizza slices fantastic. This place is located between first Avenue and FDR service Road on 20th St. it is worth going to you will be pleasantly surprised the service is fun. The food is great I did take out and ate in the car so it was fun. I will be back many many more times very affordable thank you yelp and thank you Lenz for the wonderful experience. read more

I have gone to lenses for I can't even tell you how many years well over 20 and I do enjoy their food but today I had an order of pancakes delivered, they were undercooked very light tan color and were kind of rubbery sorry, Tse read more

Ordered a large cheese pizza today, paid $22 plus tip for a stale cold pizza with little cheese dried up. I couldn't even reheat it to be edible. Never again. They used to be much better. Guess nothing lasts forever. Just a sign of the times. 12:5/25 read more

I live 7 blocks from Lenz's yet had never ordered. That changed today. I ordered the Turkey Wrap with Avocado, Roasted Red Peppers, Lettuce & Tomato. They gave me Russian Dressing on the side...which is a must. Lenz's prices are also low, and appreciated. This wrap is huge...enough for two people. For $3.00 extra are the fries. I ordered them lite and that's exactly how they came. The person who answers the phone is very friendly, even though it's obviously very busy. My order was delivered in 25 minutes, well below the predicted 45-60 minute window. Their delivery pro was so nice and courteous...and very appreciative of the more than appropriate tip, which is well-deserved. read more

Lenz Delicatessen - Turkey Wrap with Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado & Roasted Red Peppers. Fantastic and huge! - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Paid $22 plus tip for a stale pizza with dried up cheese very sparingly applied. Could not even reheat it to make it edible. It just dried up even more. What a tip. They used to have decent pizzas. Just another restaurant that's lost it's way. Never again. Also they charge $9 for a pint of ice cream. Too bad. Stay home and cook your own meals folks!! read more

Just moved to StuyTown, and found this great old school deli that is affordable and produces good tasty food. Great staff as well read more

No prices on anything and they will rip you off for a box of crackers. Also the food is if poorer quality of all the other delis around. read more

Got the meatball sub, it's a bit bland tasting and not a whole lot of meatballs. It good if you're trying to get something quick but I don't think I'll be heading back. read more

Lenz Delicatessen - Meatball Parmesan on a Hero Hot Sandwich - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

So I occasionally stop here to grab an egg sandwich since its along my route to Bklyn in the mornings. The food is fine, but I'm just wondering - the guy behind the counter making the egg sandwiches, he wears his mask below his nose, and wears one glove - which happens to be the hand he uses to hold the utensils, and no glove on the hand he uses to handle the food. So it makes me wonder a couple of things - 1. Whats the use of a mask OR a glove. And 2. How sanitary is everything else being made in the kitchen out of view? During these trying times, I would like to think everyone's safety is paramount, even more so the staff, let alone the customers. But if this is indicative of the whole staff and how they view Covid, and food prep, well, then.... read more

The clerk prevented a client from entering the shop with their service dog. I decided I would not give my business anymore to this shop.

My neighborhood spot for inexpensive dinner. You can get one entree (roast chicken and other selections) and potatoes and vegetables for less than $10. The pizza, for a non Italian shop is surprisingly good and inexpensive. Only $3.00 a slice. Nothing fancy but certainly decent. read more

I've had an ok experience here (mixed feelings), the food isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done while being the closest deli in the neighborhood of Stuytown. I always get a bagel TOASTED with cream cheese. However, the last time I came here, they didn't toast it and when I asked they said "well you didn't ask" (in a rude tone with I don't give a F about you look). So yea, maybe I shouldn't assume (but I never had to ask before, they would usually ask me)...that's no way to talk to a customer.... Sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich -My usual if I don't get a bagel -I suggest asking for hot sauce it you like spicy, just to give it some juice since the buns are sometimes on the dry side. -They are generous in terms of the price to sandwich ratio, but I wouldn't say it is the top notch breakfast sandwich, but it is the most worth it in terms of price compared to the other things they sell here. Overall: try at your own risk and just ignore the attitude of the workers.... read more

Tuesdays through Saturdays The Cook, Antonio is AMAZING!!!! He knows his way around a grill. I recommend stopping by between the hours of 7-3pm. He cooks with LOVE!! read more

We live nearby so often drop by for a pizza or sub. Good food and staff are always friendly

Typical NY Deli. Closeby to home, so its convenient and open pretty late. Recently tried their pizza, and I've gotta say, its not bad at all. I prefer a reheated slice to a fresh pie from here. Tonight I tried the cheesesteak. Again, not bad at all - the cook pulled out deli roast beef and I was puzzled at first, but it tastes like a decent chipped beef cheesesteak. The bread was good and soft too, I'm glad they didn't toast it which I've seen in some delis. The guy behind the counter insisted the sandwich was $8.50 , when on the big menu board above his head it reads $8.00. He kept mumbling something and said, ok I'll take off $.50... Thanks? There are some user reviews of this place that are not recommended that give a more accurate reflection of the overall quality of the place. read more

Rude service won't be back . Always a issue or they don't understand what your saying. Food below average . Sucks . They aren't that busy even a basic order seems to annoy the heck out of them .Only deli on this side of town. Sad. read more

If you like stale rolls and over cooked eggs and burnt bacon lenz is the place for you. Place is horrible now. At least the coffee is decent

Delicious pizza, fast delivery, friendly staff. Their deli has all the little conveniences you might need at the last min as well. Highly recommend! read more

Love this deli it's convient and the food is good :) the staff is pleasant and the place is clean! Great for quick bite to eat.

I have to say the food is good and reasonably priced but the service to nonwhites is horrendous! They act as if they are doing you a favor! They bend over backwards to serve white people but if you are a fellow Hispanic they look at you like you are scum and are bothered to serve you! I wish the service behind the counter was better! read more

Pretty great pastrami sandwich despite the rather unfriendly cook. The cashier was very friendly though and the selection is decent for a late night snack. read more

Dirty deli. Sandwiches taste like nothing. Worst deli in nyc. Owner never had a mask on during Covid. Drinks are limited and nothing is really up to par. read more

Hungover? Need an egg sandwich with bacon and cheese on a roll delivered to your door with a cup of coffee? Or how about just a cup of coffee? These guys deliver! read more

Lenz is your standard deli with Sandwiches, wraps, some hot food, pizza, water, soda, and a very small selection of grocery items. For breakfast I occasionally order delivery to the office for egg sandwiches or muffins, the service is speedy and the delivery guys are sweet. Usually for lunch if I grab a sandwich I'll take the walk over and order. Be aware that lunch time it becomes busy at points since there is the ConEd yard and lots of construction workers within the apartment complexes whom all love their sandwiches! You won't be disappointed. It's quick, friendly service, and decent food on the go. They just recently remodeled inside and for the summer they put seats outside the store front. read more

In terms of the food I really only got turkey clubs which were standard. Nothing to write home about. Sometimes a chicken cutlet sandwich which was modest for the price. But it's the service that's pretty sub-standard. I live near by and probably considered a regular, but when the guy behind the counter gives me a "Buddy you need to speak up if you want two sandwiches" with a huge attitude as if I'm a dick, instead of a "Sorry I didn't hear you. Give me one second," that's when I'll walk a little further to another place for the same quality food. (probably better) [Edit: They've become friendly and appreciative again.] read more

I eat at this place twice a week. They're friendly, fast, and the food is fresh. The number 4 hero is my favorite.

These people just can't get their shit together. Don't come here unless you live near Ave C in Stuytown. 1.) Low Quality. It doesn't have the nice/healthy quality like Gracefully or Bruno's (both on 1st Ave, real close). 2.) Microwave. Idk what they were doing microwaving shit for my BLT. 3.) Every order is always wrong. More than half the time they get something wrong with my order. They say "Yeah yeah yeah, I got it!" and then just fuck it up. This time around, everything was correct except for the fact that they forgot to cook my bacon. read more

Location makes this place. So ideal for those in Stuytown/Peter Cooper.

Been frequenting this Deli since the original owner 40 plus years ago. Today the food selection is much greater, and of course simply the best in the area. From a slice, to a sandwich, hero, or a hot plate, this place rocks. A must to take out. read more

It's my corner deli so I might be biased, but I love this place. Been coming here for almost six years. The sandwiches, pizzas, salads are reliably decent. Grocery and beer prices are par for Manhattan, service is fast, and everyone there knows me well. What's not to like? read more

Best deli in the neighborhood. Great staff and friendly owner. Food is fresh and they have all the essential basics. A neighborhood staple.

[I ordered from Delivery.com] I ordered the eggplant parmesan and peppers steak platter which were priced $4.95 and $5.95, respectively but it turned out these prices were incorrect. They are actually $5.95 and $6.49, respectively. Lenz never called me to inform me about the price mistake = Minus one star. Delivery time from other restaurants located further than Lenz take 20 to 30 minutes while Lenz took over 50 minutes = Minus one star. A pet peeve of mine is asking me to sign without providing a pen. Lenz and New Ashiya are notorious for this = Minus one star. My peppers steak platter is suppose to come with rice and buttered roll. My buttered roll was probably eaten by the deliverer = Minus one star. Lenz, you need to fix these issues, pronto. I'm not ordering from you in a year and I mean it. read more

it's your standard deli. the grocery items are pretty overpriced, but they have a big selection of drinks and cooked food items. I wish they carried a bigger selection of beer but they get four stars for being right below my front door. read more

Whoever usually answers the phone there is always rude. I called numerous times for deliveries and the people working there don't seem to know their products and are too lazy to go look. I asked for a certain product and they told me they don't sell it even though I saw it earlier that day, right near the front counter. When you ask them to look they give you an attitude. Very poor work ethics!!! read more

Love the deli sandwiches from this place. Also love the fact that I can get a sandwich, beer, cigs, and dish soap all delivered to my place super fast. Hands down...the best corner deli around! read more

Decent place. It's local which is nice. The beer is expensive. If your missing one grocery store item or just need some basic stuff come here if your too lazy to take a longer walk. They have pizza, sandwiches, and subs in the back and the guys are all nice there. The pizza is really wide lol which is interesting but it's a pretty good slice. I wouldn't go out of my way for a slice but if I ended up here and was craving pizza then this places pizza would hit the spot! read more

Good quick delivery in Stuytown - good coffee.

Great place for a quick pick up of breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Food from the grill is always fresh! A good, simple assortment of groceries as well. read more
