You could argue that delis are New Jersey’s greatest culinary treasure. Italian delis, Jewish delis, Polish delis, delis of all shapes and sizes populate the Garden State. Delis have it all: sandwiches, wraps, burgers, breakfast, salads, soups and so much more.
If your town does not have a deli, maybe you should consider moving?
We did not include places that are predominantly sub/hoagie shops, concentrating on delis that go beyond sub/hoagies to include sandwiches and dishes of all types. The entries are marked PG for Pete and JS for Jeremy, so you know who wrote what.

Hoagies. Subs. Sandwiches. Whatever you call them, New Jersey has them, and they’re delicious. But which ones are the best?
Food and Wine Magazine recently crowned the mozzarella and pepper sandwich from M&P Biancamano in Hoboken the state’s best sandwich while admitting the Garden State has so many great Italian delis its hard to pick just one sandwich. This got NJ.com’s top sandwich savants, Peter Genovese and Jeremy Schneider, thinking about the top sandwiches in the state.

The pandemic laid waste to New Jersey restaurants and our dining habits in 2020, but a guy’s gotta eat, right?
Actually, make that two guys, as Jeremy Schneider and Pete Genovese, in our thankless duties as food writers (eat everything in sight, let the company pay for it) ate our way around the state last year, masks and forks at the ready.
Here’s a list of the 50 New Jersey dishes you must try in 2021, based on the 25 best dishes we each tried in 2020. Pete did similar lists based on the best items he ate in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The only difference with this one is Jeremy is joining in on the fun.
