Italian deli with huge, creative sandwiches & delicious milkshakes






















"A slice of the Williamsburg of yesteryear, Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe is a force to be reckoned with. Their menu is extensive as it is delicious. All sandwiches are made to order and at reasonable prices. Eat like a firefighter, go to Anthony’s!" - Krrb
"The sandwiches at Williamsburg’s Anthony & Sons aren’t just substantial enough to ballast a submarine. They’re also creative, deeply delicious, and infinitely appealing on a primal level. Start your journey with a classic Godfather—lined with peppers, fresh mozzarella, and six types of cured meat—then go wild with bacon, ranch, skirt steak, and truffle pecorino." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"Anthony & Son is like a little Italian-American Eataly in Williamsburg. They sell stuffed peppers, octopus, pasta, fried cauliflower, and all sorts of meats and cheeses. But the main events are the sandwiches, stuffed with everything from fries and mozzarella sticks to steak, bacon, and chicken cutlets. This is purely a takeout operation, so stop by for a quick lunch that’ll make you want to run a marathon. If you don't know which of the 60-plus sandwiches to order, go for The Godfather with peppers, fresh mozzarella, and six kinds of cured meat." - Bryan Kim
"If you live in the section of North Williamsburg by McCarren Park and the BQE, it is your duty as a Williamsburg citizen to try the heros and other Italian specialties at Anthony & Sons at least once. We love their Italian combo (called “The Godfather Hero”) for lunch, but a little-known fact is that Anthony & Sons also make extravagant milkshakes made with things like Italian rainbow cookies and cannoli. You can even add a shot of espresso to it, like an evolved version of the Frappuccinos you used to buy at Starbucks in the 2000’s. Try one the next time you’re having a bad day." - hannah albertine
"Polacek cites this North Brooklyn deli as a formative influence and says she used to live by Anthony & Son; she dreams about their chicken cutlet sandwiches, noting the chicken cutlet there is intentionally soggy in the way that made a lasting impression on her own sandwich approach." - Justine Jones
