Andrea Salumeria

New Jersey is full of Italian delis, and Andrea Salumeria is one of its best. This family-owned, brick-lined storefront has small aisles stacked with imported Italian groceries, dried meats, and fresh homemade mozzarella alongside their specialty sandwiches, salads, and pastas. 

Come for lunch and order one of the five sandwich choices, though know that The Combo (with ham, salami, sopressata, capicola, mozzarella, provolone, and sweet peppers) is the undisputed hero of them all. Try to beat the lunch rush by coming before noon. If that’s not an option, the wait will be worth it. There’s no seating, but you can take your sandwich to one of the nearby parks—Riverview-Fisk is just a few blocks away.
