“ Amazing vodka sauce, fresh bread, ,great pasta overall great neighborhood deli with great staff ”

“ Very good sandwiches but they are on the pricey side. Chicken cutlets cooked perfectly and have great flavor, very good broccoli rob as well, they have excellent bread. The premade salads are very good as well. Perfect for lunch or dinner. Very clean and nice looking deli inside with pastas from Italy and other Italian products you won't normally find at your local supermarket. The workers inside are very nice and it seems like they really like working there. ”

“ I pass by this place all the time & decided to give it a try yesterday. I was impressed by the amount of interesting vegetable dishes on display. I ordered a sandwich and a little side salad and was annoyed that the tab came to $27 with tax and tip. However, the food was amazing! The cannellini bean, celery, tomato, avocado salad was divine. I have to learn how to make this! The mortadella sandwich was very surprising - the ricotta and the fresh oregano elevated it tremendously. The sandwich and salad wound up being two lunches for me. The staff was very nice . Highly recommend. Go check it out!! ”

“ Not sure what i would do without this place. From a simple sandwich to catering services, Michael's always consistent, food is guaranteed to be delicious and the staff is amazing. ”

“ Totally boggled by the one star reviews on this place!! No meat on the sandwich? Thick cut cold cuts?? Bologna!! My mortadella sandwich was packed with meat sliced to paper thin perfection. The ricotta on the sandwich was creamy and plentiful. The oil and oregano were perfect compliments. And I got a hunk of pizza gaina in honor of the upcoming holiday and it was better than my grandma's!! So sad I don't live closer to here. I follow them on Instagram and all their posts are drool worthy. But I'm back up north enough to make sure this will be a stop I make before heading back to the shore. ”

“ Michael's was highly recommended to me, and I totally get why it's a neighborhood favorite. The guys working were super nice and helpful. They sold me on the roast beef as it's made in house. After careful consideration I went with the roast beef with Asiago cheese, arugula, and garlic Mayo. The sandwich was a little dry, but the garlic mayo was insane. I'd drink it through a straw. The roast beef was good, but I was expecting to be wow'd and I wasn't. Nonetheless, a tasty sandwich. I also grabbed a few rice balls while they had some available. Outstanding! ”

“ Always super professional service I wish I knew there is 4% cc charge and I have not seen any sign or been told about it. I'd would have paid with Debit card or cash. They more you know... ”

“ (How did I neglect to review Michael's for all these years?! Long before Yelp existed I was here faithfully every Saturday morning stocking up on a variety of goodies.) Lyndhurst is a small town populated with more pizzerias than is probably necessary and a handful of solid Italian delis but Michael's is easily the best of the bunch. The store is extremely clean. The food is fresh and when they first open the small squad working in the back are busting their hump bringing out countless prepared foods and whatever I've tried (breaded chicken cutlets, stuffed mushrooms, pasta in vodka sauce, you name it) has always been ridiculously good. Their sandwiches (and bread selection) are solid as well. There's a decent selection of imports as well. On my more recent visits it looks like a whole new crew are behind the counter (I believe all the OG's jumped ship to their sister-joint, Suprema, in Rutherford) - but the workers are still really friendly and on top of their game. A heads up: parking can be an issue and Michael's has never been shy to charge a pretty nickel for their grub. I'd definitely put Michael's Salumeria in the Top 10 of Italian Delis in the Garden State. (And trust me... I've been to more than a few of them over the years.) ”

“ I found this gem on a suggestion on one of my other reviews. I love how everyone is working together for the pursuit of fine dining. When you walk in is massive and immaculate. Just a tip because I was fumbling around; the sandwich board is too your left when you first walk in. I got my traditional chicken, broccoli rabe and mozz and got my wife the Italian hero. Now wait.... is that.... no..... yeah, it is... pizzagaina. I had to get a slice of that. I'm going right to the pizzagaina. I haven't had this for YEARS and it was absolutely heaven. YES, YES and YES.... get a piece! It was just like I remembered it as a kid. I eat mine cold just as is. The spice of the pepperoni steals the show. Chicken and broccoli rabe sandwich was excellent as was the Italian hero. My wife and I wound up sharing each one. The only thing was that they forgot the mayo on the Italian. In retrospect, why didn't we just add the mayo at home???? Ok, we forgot to do so too. Excellent place to grab lunch. Parking is a little rough. I circled around a few times. Again.... pizzagaina.... trust me.... ”

“ This place is still perfect to me! We picked up our special order request of seafood crepes and my mind is blown away! I've never tasted anything like these anywhere! Phenomenal! Thank you Anthony! My favorite Italian deli in town! We have been going here for years and the service and quality has never been anything less than stellar. I have never once obtained a meal here that was bad. You can't help but buy more than what you came in for. They have the best fresh mozzarella compared to any I have tried elsewhere all my life. Staff is amicable and the place is always clean. There is never any food slopped over their dishes on the glass incases. Food is always being replenished. Hubby always orders a grilled chicken sandwich with fresh mozz and toppings. My go to is mortadella, ricotta, oregano and O&V. Every Christmas we order their catered shrimp scampi which are like colossal shrimp and fried fish fillets. I could go on and on, but you just need to visit here if you haven't already. Be prepared to spend over $50 because you simply can't resist trying everything! ”
