The Gourmet Deli
Since 1989, he has been working at The Gourmet Deli (41 Alden Street, Cranford, NJ) serving breakfast and lunch seven days a week. It's a delicatessen known for its wide range of menu choices, including homemade soups, fresh salads, specialty sandwiches and Italian dishes. Since Dominick bought the deli in 1997, he has been satisfying the appetites of several generations in the Cranford area.

My grandparents grew basil and tomatoes on the fire escape of their apartment on East 3rd Street in lower Manhattan, in the Bowery. A favorite dish growing up, that he still offers on the catering menu was what he called "Mom's Dish." It is macaroni, broccoli, potatoes and sausage. Although he prepares it a little differently than his mom did.

Just about anything we create in our kitchen and sell in our restaurant, we can prepare for takeout - from a snack or a sandwich to a full breakfast, lunch or dinner. And a third wrote: The guys behind the counter were so friendly and helpful. The owner let us try a sample of their famous angel hair pasta, which was the best I've ever had.
If you want to make the best event, party, meeting or special occasion, you need to let The Gourmet Deli cater. We'll design a menu that will wow your guests and satisfy their appetites. We can do anything from party platters for breakfast, lunch or dinner to full or half trays of entrees and side dishes.

The catering from this place is just UNBELIEVABLY good. I don't know what the secret is but the food is so good. The Italian dishes are divine. They also make really good healthy and light catering dishes like chickpea salad and it's just heavenly. Highly, highly recommend.

July 2020:
3 years later after my original review, I am glad that they have enabled Online Ordering plus Delivery.
September 2020:
Their service became an issue, long waits, wrong items and no apologies for their mistakes, like if it was always my fault they they gave me something different from what I ordered (paid for specialty sandwich and got grilled cheese instead)
After the 3rd occurrence I gave up. I hope they continue to succeed.

Great place for a quick bite. Their service is always great and the sandwiches are phenomenal. My favorite is the #23
& If you are there in the early afternoon they have a selection of freshly cooked food.
The primavera pasta is great as well. I can't get enough sometimes lol 😅

This place has amazing sandwiches and fresh brewed (to order) iced tea. The Cuban is the best when they have fresh roasted pork. I’m very picky and have high expectations for sandwiches and Gourmet Deli exceeds mine. I definitely recommend checking it out, even if you don’t live/work nearby.

What a nice deli!
I actually got lost in Cranford and I parked on side of the road to look over my gps. I was hungry and saw that this deli was open so I went inside and asked if they had anything hot ready. The man I spoke to was very nice, he gave me several options, and I chose to have a meatball sub. It was so yummy! And so stuffed! I recommend trying this place out.

The Gourmet Deli is all around excellent. The food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best Bruschetta by far. I have ordered many catering dishes from them over the years as well. The presentation of the platters is always beautiful and our guests absolutely love the food. I can't say enough good things about the Gourmet Deli and I can't thank them enough, especially Dominick, for making my life a little easier over the years by providing such delicious food. I highly recommend the Gourmet Deli!
