Vincenzo's Deli
Vincenzo's Deli has been serving South Philadelphia breakfast and lunch for over 25 years. We are a neighborhood deli and luncheonette located in the East Passyunk Crossing section of Philadelphia. You can find us right on the corner of 9th and Mountain Street (between Tasker and Morris.) Hot breakfast and lunch is served all day.

The menu includes fried meatballs and chicken cutlets which are made fresh every day. Our sandwiches and hoagies are made with Carangi Bakery bread and the deli case is stocked with Freda Deli Meats. Come see us and eat in at our counter and dining room or take out.

Great spot for sandwiches and hoagies, the meatballs with rabe and provolone is a real standout. Fried up fresh the meatballs were a perfect complement to the strong bite of the broccoli rabe. Nice counter to sit at and reasonably priced.

Got two quarts of homemade veg soup and loved it! The bread it came with melts in your mouth with a quick dip into the soup. The soup is homemade and I believe the soup offered changes regularly. This one was full of flavor. All the ease of eating out without the guilt of an unhealthy meal! But that being said, I still can't wait to try one of their cutlets!

4/26...Picked up a chicken cheesesteak, a meatball sandwich and fries and a mozzarella sticks. Michael's sandwiches are really good. Made to order and so filling and tasty. I still think one of the best meatball sandwiches around.
My favorite place to get a meatball sandwich. The place is clean, small, has counter service and tables. The menu has many breakfast and lunch food items. I only tried the meatball sandwich and I personally think it's one of the best made.

This is both one of the fastest deliveries and most delicious chicken parm sandwiches I have experienced in South Philadelphia. I ordered at 12:15 and it was here by 12:30. The fries were still hot, and the sandwich was delicious, and my drink was still ice cold. It had a hearty amount of sauce covering a generous portion of chicken cutlet, both tasting as good as homemade. I will be ordering again and I look forward to trying new menu items.

Vincenzo's is one of South Philly's hidden treasures. This small deli is operating for take-out during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is located on a corner in a typical South Philly rowhome neighborhood - actually it is not that far from trendy East Passyunk Avenue but Vincenzo's feels a world apart.

In my opinion they re especially known for two offerings from their menu - their breakfast sandwiches and their hoagies. Recently I ordered one of their famous hoagies. Ir did not disappoint. Their take on this Philly classic sandwich is not quite as large as some but there is none

I don't know what exactly he does to his pork roll, egg, & cheese sandwiches but it's the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! The meatballs are also great (either as a parm or a breakfast sandwich), and my wife loves the hoagies here. I stop by at least once a week, and couldn't recommend more highly!

Woke up feeling extra hungry today and came across Vincenzo's Deli after browsing desperately for a hearty breakfast. After reading several great reviews, a few people mentioned a meatball omelette that apparently was a "secret menu" item. I decided to look at the menu to see what else they have and was surprised to see the Meatball omelette was listed on the menu. Done deal. I called in for pickup and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Living just a few blocks away, I biked over and my order was right on time. The staff was very friendly and like all the other reviews, I

This seems like a place the regulars go and I know why. It’s everything you’d want from a neighborhood breakfast joint.

A hoagie/sub/sandwich whatever you wanna call it of the highest quality. Did a self-guided hoagie tour and this one blew the competition away. I would even say it was the best damn sub I ever had. You need to come here. And tip the man, he deserves it!!!

Go for the Italian hoagie or a breakfast platter. The vibe is good conversation with new friends at the counter, or just grabbing a sandwich/quick bite. There is seating at the front counter as well room in the back for bigger groups. It is one of those places that I don't wanna hype because I want to keep it all to myself. Afterwards go buy yourself a balloon at the party store next door because you are the best and deserve fun.

They have fresh everything. I got some parmesan cheese and veggies. I never had fresh parmesan like this before. It was delicious. If you like fresh Italian ingredients and hoagies stop by and try them out.

Maybe today was an off day? Ordered two different hoagies. The inside meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc was all fresh and delicious. The roll on the other hand wasn't fresh to what I know. It was harder crust than I prefer. I will try this place again hoping the Roll was just a one time issue.

I got the cheesesteak which was probably a mistake. Everyone raves about their food (especially meatballs) except the cheesesteak. Fun little neighborhood breakfast/lunch place. At some point when I am back in the area I will try the meatballs and/or Breakfast.

Eh i may check out their famous meatball sub, but i was underwhelmed when inquiring if they could provide a catering order of just bacon and sausage for a party of 10
two wks in advance. i learned they don't even offer breakfast sausage, yet have a breakfast menu and that he didn't think he'd be able to handle it since it was going to be the first saturday they've been opened since summer ended. that's pretty sad when it was the most basic of orders. boo

Great Deep South Philly find! Got the meatball omelette. Spinach, onions , long hots. Sharp provolone!!! Great meat balls and I'm super picky. Great idea and worth the trip. Home fries are crispy hot fresh. Buddy had a ham and Swiss omelette. Got a hoagie to go which I'm having tonight . Two coffees and the bill was $22. Holy cow Batman! Let's eat here all the time!

This is officially my go to spot for breakfast and meatball sandwiches from now on. The customer service is EXCELLENT and they definitely made me feel at home (even though I'm already a lifelong raised South Philadelphian). Ordered the fried meatball sandwich with spinach and provolone and the egg with cheese omelette with buttered wheat toast and home fries. Guess what? Best meatball sandwiches in Philly and I had LOTS of meatballs in my mouth from different places (that's what she said). Anyways, back to topic, this spot is a tad bit small but from what I've seen, it can get overwhelming

I've been going to Vincenzo's on a regular basis for over a year now, and I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because it definitely deserves it!

Sue and her staff treat you like family, not just another customer. Everything is homemade, and if you want to "think outside the box," and Sue has the ingredients, she'll whip it up, no questions asked!

there are the "regulars," who are there every day for breakfast and/or lunch; it kind of reminds you of the TV show, "Cheers," where "everybody knows your name.". Sue's father-in-law is
