I can't recall the last time a sandwich was so massive that I took a break. The Top Shelf contains myriad meats. I don't know the particulars but I believe there's prosciutto, ham, salami and more (feel free to note errors/omissions in the comments). There's also a riveting topping that includes pickles, peppers and onions. Service was great. Since there are no seats, some logistical work is needed. I actually chose my hotel based on proximity to New Deal Fruit. (Do not attempt to eat this sandwich in your car!) read more

Really disappointed in my order. I traveled over an hour for my dinner. I ordered a chicken Parm/meatball sub. Only got meatball without parm. Ordered and paid for mozzarella sticks, never got them. Ordered a double play sub, asked for cheese, never got it and chicken was very tough, had to throw it out. What happened to you guys?? read more

New Deal Fruit is widely known on the North Shore for having the best sandwiches around. This place is, at its heart, a market with fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products, specialty breads, imported Italian products (including 200 different styles of dry pasta), and most importantly, a deli. Their menu includes 40 different specialty sandwiches, overwhelming to even choose, but for my first trip to New Deal Fruit, I knew I had to go with the Top Shelf: 3 slices of every Italian meat in the deli case. Plus chopped tomatoes, pickles, and onions lathered with oil, vinegar, and seasonings. The size is pretty large and you can get at least two meals out of it. They slice all the meats fresh so expect a bit of a wait, especially around lunch time or the weekends when everyone is looking to get subs. With so many other subs on their menu to try, I'm looking forward to going back soon. read more

I walked in feeling like it was a local place and they knew I wasn't local. When it was my turn to order my sandwiches I knew one for sure that I wanted and then I wanted to try an Italian, but I wasn't sure which one to get (there feels like 1 million choices) to get so I asked the gentleman behind the counter to make me one that he would like, and he went for it the sandwiches were humongous. The produce was super interesting as well as the dry pasta choices! I left with Spaghettio shaped pasta to make it home and a little Guanciale to make an amatriciana sauce. They had fresh figs at the front counter. I got those on my way out as well as a big meaty local tomato. Gentleman that worked there offered to open the door to my car to help me pack up personally it was one of the better experiences I've had since coming back to the East Coast . This place is an inside secret that's pretty well known and they will make you feel like a regular at the moment you get in there I will go back again . read more

New Deal Fruit - Chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella and what felt like a pound of prosciutto and broccoli rabe. Seriously good sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

There are plenty of sandwiches to choose from, I would recommend looking at the menu a head of time. It gets very busy, the grocery store side has decent prices. I got the Italian, you get your basic Italian cold cuts on a soft roll with all the fixings with oil and vinegar. Very good sandwich. I was hoping to try one of the sandwiches with the rabe but they were all out of rabe at the time. read more

More than just a deli. The sandwiches are a hit. It was busy when we went but they are super fast. Everyone is friendly and courteous. The owner is a super nice also. We got our sandwiches and headed home. Took a bite and I was sold. When in the area this has to be a stop. I came prepared as they have som many selections. The ratio of bread to meat was awesome. Very bite was full of flavor. I'd recommend adding this to your list of stops while in the area. read more

Consistently wonderful sub sandwiches! It's an Italian deli, be prepared to be overwhelmed with options at the counter. They have a menu that lists them all, just not what's on all of them since that would double the size. Service is great. It's a "who's next" system but they're fast so it's not a big deal if there's a mixup on who was there first. They're more than happy to accommodate any requests. Love this place and will always come back here when I have a craving for a sub sandwich! read more

I grabbed a Mediterranean sandwich which is lots of warm chix cutlets with feta cheese, lettuce and tomato. I added balsamic glaze which they gave me lots of. Menu was updated with new prices. Friendly service and always a great place to be with lots of fresh imported produce and specialties from Italy and other countries. read more

New Deal Fruit makes one of the best Italian subs I've had anywhere in Massachusetts. The bread was fresh and perfectly soft with just the right crust, while the meats and provolone were sliced perfectly and packed with flavor. The toppings tasted incredibly fresh, and the oil dressing tied everything together perfectly. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The shop has an old-school neighborhood feel that adds to the experience. Friendly service, generous portions, and an Italian sub that absolutely lives up to the reputation. read more

The one bad thing about going to this new deal fruit is that when you get to the deli department, you don't know what they get. They're so many choices and each one of them is so delicious you gotta get there. You wish you had found that place years ago. read more

This place is amazing, we were visiting the Boston area and we had to try this place. This was the BEST Italian sub that I have in my life, keep in mind I'm from Houston. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was what I expected out of an Italian grocery store!! read more

Holy moly I may come back to this place for just the dry pasta! But next time I will try a sub! The line was so long, they must be fantastic! We were staying nearby here and just happened upon the store. We ended up buying a bunch of dry pasta, Spumoni, and other treats. All of the staff were so friendly asking if we needed help, making recommendations. Parking lot is right in the front with enough room to turn around kind of on the sidewalk area so you don't have to back up into the busy road. read more

Old Italian style family in Revere, store is local grocery store best sandwiches anywhere, we are originally from Meffa, live in state of Maine and when in Massachusetts you get top shelf Italian sub. Service is entertaining they are awesome read more

I came here not expecting much, I had seen the TikTok videos and we thought it would be fun to have lunch here. What actually happened is that this sandwich changed my life. Forever from now on until the end of time anytime that I have a sandwich I'm going to go this is good but it's not new deal fruit good. I wonder if there is a way that I can just have these sandwiches delivered to Washington State like overnight, or If I have to fly out to Boston once a week in order to have a decent sandwich. The sandwich was not the only great thing that we had with include one of these giant pickles that they have as well as a huge pepperoni stick that I only got a few bites out of before we had to rush out of the hotel room and then I left it there and now I'm really mad at myself because I left it there. So go to New deal fruit. Get a sandwich. Be forever changed and have all of their sandwiches ruined for the rest of your life we can start a club. read more

I have been coming here for over 40 years!!! First, I came as a newlywed and newcomer to Revere. I watched our money, so enjoyed the quality and less expensive fruit and vegetables. With an Italian mother in law, I also sought out the high quality grated cheeses and cold cuts. The subs were/are delicious and made a quick lunch or dinner. Happy to say, the quality of everything (oooops! I almost didn't mention the imported Italian specialty items being fantastic too!) is still a great savings and impeccable! A friend of mine will only get meatball subs from here, and another likes the brand of milk that New Deal has. This is the "Revere" secret that the residents can no longer keep a secret. Some parking spots are in the front. read more

Great sandwich, Italian. Loved it, ate it all day long. Will be back soon for more. Loved the energy

Awesome Italian grocery, deli and sandwich shop near the airport. We always stop on our way back to Maine to get subs and goodies. They also sell fresh produce. Our fave is the special Italian. Free parking in front of store. No dine in eating area its more grocery like but they sell chips and drinks to go. read more

This is really an authentic and spectacular place - a must visit on every trip to Boston - multiple times !

Lots of fresh food choices in a simple market setting. You can find what you are looking for if you want reasonable priced high quality fruits and vegetables. I go for the Italian sub sandwich. Let the guy behind the counter make a recommendation as he is an expert. Very friendly people just providing delicious food and awesome sandwiches read more

New Deal is the place to get a sub and everyone knows it. I got there early on Monday and still had a decent wait but I didn't mind. The staff is friendly and funny. They've got plenty of options, but you've got time to make up your mind before you get to the counter. Don't get to the counter without knowing what you want. You'll be appropriately reproached. New Deal has a great produce section and interesting groceries as well, so you can browse while you wait. I got the Marco Polo, which is chicken cutlet with provolone and broccoli rabe. They forgot the hots, which was sad because we don't have hots where I live. But it was still an epic sub. I'm looking forward to returning whenever I'm home. read more

Ordered an Italian with everything. The cold cuts and bread was fresh . Best sandwich I have had in a long time .

Well known popular Italian sub and grocery store. I do have to have to critique on several things that I have experienced. I find the chicken cutlets in some of the subs are too thick . Their sauce is a bit on the bitter side. The last sub I ordered the bread was tough on the outside and soaked on the inside .I had to take the bread off of the sub. The order was called in may have been overlooked left in a steamer or microwave. For the record I am very particular and this is my personal opinion ! read more

Got a small taste of Italians in Boston. This is an old school Italian deli. No one was in a hurry. They razed people in line if you ordered a BLT. No one person should eat the entire sandwich in one setting. Love this neighborhood deli. read more

Most so called sub shops today , take a ride to Chelsea and see what everyone else in Boston already knows . The best around . Just don't order mayors on a chicken Parm sub !!!! read more

I dont give many places 5 Stars, but New Deal deserves 6!!! Have known it was there for years & years, but was out recently with Mom and she randomly said "Hey lets get a sub from New Deal" and at first glance the deli is CHAOS... Dont be intimidated, just stand around, respectfully ask people if they have ordered & if they havent, JUST WAIT YOUR TURN... The line gets long, the people standing around get plenty, But trust me, IT'S WORTH THE WAIT! Ever since the first visit a few weeks ago, I have literally been back twice a week every week, My relationship with New Deal is starting to be bad for my wallet AND my Ass!!! Im literally eating Broccoli Rabe as I write this review. The menu is large (and again this section of review is for the Deli) there are little signs all around with signature sandwiches but for the most part they can make almost any sub you want! Just know, THEY ARE HUGE - Im talking 3 people to eat some of the bigger ones! Everything is sliced Fresh as you order it, all the hot foods are prepared right away, not just sitting around waiting to be subbed (yes, its a word). Get the Top Shelf with Everything, And NEVER ask for Mayo - Ugh, who are those people?! I have started getting a few of my subs deconstructed as by the time I get home the Broccoli Rabe has literally soaked my subs so easier to get in a bowl & then buy extra rolls and still feeds me 3 times. But yes, the Chicken Vittoria is my go to, Or the Andretti (Have I mentioned I love that Rabe) I even know now I can get it in a side & just eat it alone! The store, Tons of fresh Pastas, and Italian specialties that you cannot get in other supermarkets, Produce is fresh, Desserts are great, Love that I can grab milk without having to go to Market Basket when thats all I really need. Huge selection of candys, soda & chips. Go and try everything, but be patient, you might be in there a few, its not a "Run in & order and be out in 5 mins" place, but again, its worth the wait! read more

Delicious, generous portions and very well made sandwiches. Our favorites are the Mambo Italiano, Steak & Cheese, Roman and several others. All the food is delicious, can't go wrong with anything you order. Also love the market section for imported meats, pastas, freshly cut and/or grated Romano cheese, Arancini and so much more. read more

Oh my gosh. Best sandwich ever. The Mambo italiano sandwich is insane. Has to weigh 4 pounds minimum. So freaking good. Bunch of meat and fresh veggies inside. The pickles and hots inside make it 10x better. This is a legit sandwich spot. Amazing. Get mayo on the mambo u won't regret read more

Subs are good- but 18.00 for an Italian is a little over the top and now add in 3.55 service fee- that brings that sub up to 21.55 a little much for this place and really not worth it. read more

I would definitely come back for more of their delicious sandwiches and recommend! read more

New Deal Fruit - Delis Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

I agree with the reviewers the owner would. have a gold mine of a place to frequent if he upped his game behind the deli counter. I have only bought a sub there once because the lines have been way to long and the guys behind the counter act like they don't want to be there. They have no customer service. I miss having a nice italian market near me and there really aren't many options any more especially since covid. The produce is old and not fresh. I do buy the bread and some of the speciality items like Pannetone or italian condiments that I can't find. Prices vary from reasonable to expensive. I go there on occassion but would spend more time there if they improved . read more

We brought our sandwiches to a park only a 12 minute drive away, Mary O'Malley State Park in Chelsea (no entrance fee). Had a great picnic on the river and had a lot of picnic tables to choose from. These sandwiches were huge, all the fixings and we'll definitely do this again in the future. read more

This deli's subs come highly recommended from friends in MA. These sandwiches are HUGE and the sandwiches are unique. I accidentally ordered the Triple Play in stead of the Top Shelf because I was in aww. The Triple Play has The Triple Play Roast Beef,American Cheese, Chicken Cutlets, Onion Rings and French Fries with BBQ Sauce and Mayo. Heart attack? Yes. I loved the smell so much I had to order a Classic Italian to eat the next day. Yes, I was a glutton, but I don't know how you couldn't by walking into this place. Tons of patrons, helpful staff and tons of options. You have to see it for yourself. It's worth the trip from NH! read more
