Little Deli & Pizzeria
Included In
Little Deli feels like a tiny step back in time. The dining room is small—dare we say, little?— but the big draw here is the patio with string lights that somehow feels removed from the city. Pizza and sandwiches share a playing field here. The pies are about as classically Jersey-style as they come—thin, foldable, and just a bit crispy. And Harry’s Perfect Pastrami tells you almost everything you need to know right in the name. Come with a small group and order both, or just start planning your second visit before you even leave. It’s also BYOB, so grab some beers from the grocery store or a bottle of wine from Violet Crown across the parking lot and stay a while. You can always get more wine.

Pizza
We don’t know enough about the intricacies of New Jersey- vs New York-style pizzas to talk about their subtle differences, but we can tell you this pizza is great. The pieces are large, foldable, and a little bit crispy with a nice, chewy crust. And they’re available by the slice if you just want a quick snack.

Harry's Perfect Pastrami
The pastrami is shaved thin and piled high before getting topped with a generous scoop of coleslaw that cuts straight through the well-marbled meat. And it’s all served on a couple slices of toasted rye. This is one of the best pastrami sandwiches in town.
