Cerra's Market
From our Hand-cut Meats to our wide array of Imported and Domestic Deli products, quality is a standard never compromised. Joe Cerra founded Cerra's Meat Market in the North End of Boston at 123 Salem Street in 1952. Specializing in top quality meats and personalized customer service he and his son Ron expanded into the wholesale veal business owning and operating J & R Veal in New Market Square and Cerra's Veal on Chatham Street in Lynn.

In 1992 Ron returned to his retail routes with the opening of Lynnfield Meat & Deli. In 2017 Ron and his son Joe relocated to Saugus and re-established as Cerra's Market still specializing in the same quality products and service that Cerra's was originally founded upon. Specializing in catering, Cerra's Market is perfect for any event or occasion!

Would love to give more stars but bought a tenderloin roast for Xmas from Cerra's, cost me $170 for a 4.5 lb roast. Prepared it to cook but it was not tied up as a roast MUST be to cook evenly. So at $170 I, a novice had to do what an expert butcher didn't do and truss the roast. I know they're busy but that's no excuse. I paid the extra $15 per lb for the expertise along with quality meat. Roast turned out nicely, luckily the recipe I was using stressed the importance of tying up the roast or maybe it would not have.

The most creamy, delicious lasagne ever. We bought the large frozen meat lasagne which easily fed 4 with leftovers. Positively the best.

Everything we have ever ate from there was very good. They have the gigantic slices of pizza that are amazing. They have like a pre packaged meal deal that they do on Tuesdays I think. I can’t remember if it’s buy one get one or buy one get one half off - but you should definitely check them out any day or the week.

Cerra's has great meats, deli and you will find a few things you didn't expect. The cold cuts are excellent. I LOVE the arancini, so good and they give you sauce on the side. They have prepared meals to go, I like the chicken, broccoli and ziti. Also good are the prepared chicken cutlets, pounded nice and thin. I have used them a number of times for catering and everything was great. I honestly can say I have never had anything that wasn't excellent.

Great sandwiches! My sister loves the vegetarian. The eggplant was cooked to perfection, and she's very fussy about eggplant. I asked for lunch meat cut paper thin, and it was. We haven't had lunch meat cut this well since the Mansfield deli, and driving 50 miles for lunch meat gets old fast. The staff is wonderful. If you haven't tried this place I strongly suggest you try them you'll be happy you did.

Top notch prepared foods from what I've had. Can't speak for the deli side of things. Calzones are the best in the area for my money. Protip: if you're a steak tip sub person, marinated tips, fresh mozz, roasted peppers... that's the jump. Not sure it's on the menu, but they'll make it and it's spectacular. (Their steak and cheese is superb as well)

Dealing with COVID certainly is not easy for any of us, but Cerra's Market makes it simple. I called in my order, pulled into the parking lot and the staff ran it out to me! When I can't get out, my door bell rings, and my order is at my front door! And all with a smile!

Not the best customer service at this place. I came in for the first time and started out by looking at the menu. Within 10 seconds a woman behind the counter is asking me what I want to order. I told her I needed a minute and she seemed annoyed. A better approach would be to 1. Greet customer 2. Ask if they have any questions

Instead of this, she comes back 8 seconds later and asks what i wanted again. Ended up making a rushed decision and got a pretty mediocre sub as a result.

This place seems to be a tiny Italian grocery store specializing in prepared foods. There are plenty of places to

I first had their food at a catered event at work, the second year they catered,I had to make sure I found out who catered because I was crazy about their vegetarian wrap. I Love this place! I tell EVERYONE I can to go there, I try different menu options every time I visit and I'm always impressed. They do steak tip subs AMAZING, my kids love the chicken broccoli ziti and my fave is the eggplant vegetarian wrap and the tortellini pasta salad. They are super CLEAN and so nice. You have to go here you will definitely go again!

Found this place on way to work drove by many times thought it was a butchers shop but one day was in need of something for lunch took a shot and stopped in and I'm sure glad I did. They do have fresh cut meats beef ribs pork chicken you name it. Cold cuts, subs hot and cold they also have pizza arancini's fried eggplant chicken cutlets all kinds of pasta dinners soups you name it. I stop in a few days a week I usually will get a couple arancini's with sauce one day they are filled plenty of cheese meat and peas they also have the Rabe ones. Other days a coworker and i will load

I was surprised to see Baked Haddock over Rice in the 'prepared dinners' section. They were fresh, cooked perfectly and large servings. Excellent!

I don't know anything about this joint EXCEPT they make the most legit potato chips in the universe. What the complete hell? They're so delicious, I nearly drove across town to buy another box of them. Then I realized I ate about 8 servings and decided against it. Try them.
