Longfellow’s Sandwich Deli, Morristown

A longtime Morristown staple at 160 Speedwell Avenue, Longfellow’s Sandwich Deli is the name locals throw out first when the subject of a great Italian sub comes up. Big, generously stacked sandwiches, quick service, and full catering make it a downtown lunch institution.

Tucked at 28 Broadway in downtown Denville, Sergio & Co.

It is a favorite for both a quick lunch and a full catering spread, and it is open Tuesday through Saturday.

Olde Towne Deli, Boonton

At 205 Main Street in Boonton, Olde Towne Deli opens early, at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays, and has built a statewide reputation for its subs and its perfectly griddled Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. It is the classic quick, friendly, neighborhood deli.

Ferraro’s Italian Food Specialties, Parsippany

Family owned and operated, Ferraro’s Italian Food Specialties in Parsippany serves homestyle Italian recipes, deli sandwiches, and prepared dinners to go. It is the kind of place you stop for a sandwich and leave with a tray of eggplant parm for the week.

Teresa’s Italian Kitchen & Market, East Hanover

At 90 Ridgedale Avenue, Teresa’s Italian Kitchen and Market pairs a full Italian deli counter with a market of imports, fresh mozzarella, and prepared foods. The overstuffed Italian subs, specialty paninis, and daily dinner specials keep the East Hanover lunch crowd coming back.

Right on Park Avenue in downtown Madison, CJ’s Deli is the go-to counter for students, commuters, and locals looking for a fast, well-built Italian sandwich or breakfast sandwich close to the train station.

Tony & Vinnie’s Italian Bakery & Deli, Dover

On Route 46 in Dover, Tony & Vinnie’s Italian Bakery & Deli does double duty, making Italian sandwiches, pastries, and cakes fresh daily. Come for the sub, leave with a box of cookies.

Anthony & Sons, Succasunna
