The North End Deli

I travel all around greater Boston. Only Deli I look forward too. The bread makes it and meats are all fresh. Love this joint. Wish there were more of them.

Tried this place late summer. Authentic Italian subs like they made years ago. Crusty bread not soft fake Italian bread… real authentic cold cuts (not American version). People working there were friendly and helpful. Hot foods too… wish I was just a little bit closer.

Excellent! Will definitely come again. The veal Parmagiana was amazing. Would happily eat my way thru their menu.

We had the Godfather, a veal Parmesan, and a chicken salad sandwich. All were incredible.

great subs, too bad there hours aren’t correct. we site says 4pm, called in for a sub at 2:45 and i was told they were closed. the person on the phone told me they close @ 3. i reminded him it was only 245, he said they were «done for the day». very disappointed in the lack of service. i will take my business else where in the future

Best sandwiches cold or hot. Entrees just like mama would make if she were Italian!

If you’re looking for a great Italian sandwich or meal to take home this is the place. Greg Fratto and his gang have the recipe for a satisfying repast for under $ 10.00. You’ll be bringing your co-​workers the next time you come here. He also has cold cuts, soups, cheeses, and catering.

Talk about creativity. There are some unique subs on the menu. Great tasting, great prices. Highly recommended

North End has a great deal see section of sandwiches, pasta dishes and other hearty fare. It is one of the the only places in Lawrence I would recommend.

Best Italian lunch spot in the area

The quality of the food and the large portion sizes are a good value for this region. I’ve ordered pork roasts from here as well for holiday meals and they were very good at a reasonable price.

We ended up coming in here wanting some cold cuts after grabbing a nice round bread from Tripoli just across the street. We settled in the turkey.
While the quality was good, it was ridiculously overpriced. $ 9 a pound is what I should be paying for some imported meats, not slices turkey.
Their ready made goods looked good, and I remember trying their rice balls back during the Italian faire, which were good (for another review).
I’ll be staying away from the cold cuts, but will be back for the hot meals.

100% ginni approved!

Once I got my first salad here I was hooked. Nice employees and quick. I walk here during break and I do wish they had air conditioning. It gets pretty warm in there which makes me worry about food borne illnesses sometimes but their products look and taste great.

We get catering from them all the time. Food is great, service is great, prices are great… what else could you ask for?!

I wanted to like this place as I heard it was comparable to Borelli’s Market in Methuen. I couldn’t disagree more. Borelli’s is outstanding, this place was definitely not. I’m not sure, but I think someone said they were owned by the same people. That would surprise me. We walked in just after 11am on a weekday. We both had different soups… italian wedding and sausage & potato. They were just ok. We ordered a «rocky balboa» steak bomb and a chicken parm sandwich. The chicken was cold. The steak bomb was hot but it was not tasty. There were only 2 of us in the place and they had the news on the tv. We were both watching the broadcast when they turned up the music to the jukebox and muted the tv! In fairness to the person who did it he did ask us after a couple of minutes if we were watching the tv, he offered to turn it back up.
I would tell you if you want a delicious italian deli type sandwich/​meal, skip this place and make the drive over to Borelli’s.

I think it was my mistake… being summer I ordered a salad. Mind you, its 7 dollars for a salad without any chicken etc. For a salad and a coke it was 10.00 with tax. Yikes for a quick lunch in a plastic container. Good part, wonderful fresh lettuce, nice crisp thick slice of bacon. Just couldn’t get over the cost for a container with 90 percent lettuce. Might try again, definitely not for a salad in the summer though.

Totally awesome old school Italian lunch joint. What all the prior reviewers said is true, but I’ve found their rolls to be fresh and flakey. I usually get roast beef. It’s always fresh and rare and tasty and generous. My coworker gets lasagna and usually can’t finish it. Their sausage is made in house. You definitely get your money’s worth. Often I end up eating the 2^nd half of my grinder for dinner.

One of the few places you can still get «Old School» italian food like stuffed artichoke, tripe, etc… Don’t quote me but I believe there sausages are homemade. They are really good and a staple during the Feast around Labor Day.
Came on a Saturday to get a stuffed artichoke, tripe and eggplant parm. The weekend menu is tremendous as they have pork cutlets, escarole soup, etc. Sandwiches and the different combos also look amazing and creative. Bread is also fantastic.
Nice folks working in the back which is not a norm nowadays. Nice family owned place that I’ll be frequenting often.
I only wish they would open until maybe 7pm on some nights so I can go and grab a sub or nice dinner there.

Absolutely freaking fantastic! I left here in the most phenomenal food coma. Split the grilled chicken wrap with my oldest (the greek dessing is out of this world). Both the chicken escarole sou and the sausage soup were GREAT. Huge chunks of veggies, homemade sausage and real chcken (not that pre-​fab. cubed crap). The squirt had the linguini w/​sauce… sauce that was outrageously awesome. And bread, not that there was anything special about it, but they must have given us a half a loaf!
The guy who took our order was nice… and very patient. Even the people eating there were incredibly nice.
Not the most classy joint, but who really cares when the food is this good. My only complaint is the parking situation, but there is a parking lot at the begining of the block that you an take advantage of (not a long walk at all). Overall awesome experience, will def. Be back!
