M & P Biancamano

This came recommended, and it absolutely delivered. Friendly owners, massive portions and whilst no prices the full sandwich was $20 and worth every penny. The pic doesnt do it justice, it weighed a tonne!

This absolute gem is a holdover from a better time in Hoboken with family owned Italian delis and stores all over town that are slowly disappearing to corporate overlords. Happy to see that this family owned business also owns the building and so they're not going anywhere. Quite simply the best deli in town. The sandwiches are massive and overstuffed with homemade meats using the best breads and ingredients. The mayo is the best I've ever tasted and the muzz is creamy and juicy and unlike anything I've ever tried. Made daily. And if that's not enough, have a dish with their homemade red sauce. It brings me back immediately to the Sunday dinners of my childhood. The owners are an amazing Italian couple from Salerno and they couldn't be more welcoming and friendly. I hope this place is around forever and a day.

I got sandwich B. Very big and the mozzarella was so good. $17 for the sandwich. This place is cash only!

The thin fried chicken cutlets are absolutely delicious. I got the chicken cutlet, roasted pepper, fresh mozzarella on a hero with Balsamic Vinegar. If you haven’t had the sandwiches from this place, then you definitely must try. Top spot in Hoboken The owners are so sweet!!

M & P Biancamano popped up when I was looking for an Italian 🇮🇹 deli near me. Within walking distance from Hamilton Cove Apt complex… went over and got the chicken parmigiana w/ spaghetti and prosciutto w/ mozzarella and hot peppers. One of the best chicken parms and prosciutto mozzarella subs that I’ve had in a while. I am glad that it is close to home… great food. The owners are very friendly and helpful.!! Keep up the great work. 💯 🔥 ✊🏽 I highly recommend M & P Biancamano…

A nostalgic trip back when sandwich shops where about people and the smiles where the reviews of today pride and old school hanging cured cheeses and dry meats which invoke some childhood memories of my old neighbor hood...The secret to a great sandwich is the smiles look of amazement in ones eyes a true Sandwich maker skill of slicing the meats and creating layers of deliciousness. Also the true symphony of a meat slicer as it creates a wonderful sound for meat as a different sound for the cheese it slices...NOSTALGIA AT ITS PEAK...THE SANDWICHES ARE AMAZING. the owners take Great Pride in its masterful creation love it and would defintely become a regular from NYC STATEN ITALY.....some might say i am a PASTA RICAN....

Everything about this place is great. They have high quality deli meats that are loaded up into huge sandwiches that are prepared with care. Everyone is so fun and friendly here and you end up getting enough food for at least two meals out of one sandwich. They have a good selection of drinks and snacks to pair with your meal. They are cash-only, but there is an ATM in the store. This is my new favorite deli.

Stumbled upon this place on a walk and i’m so happy that i did. It’s a classic mom and pop shop and the owners are great. I originally wanted a whole meatball mozzarella sub and they asked if i was sure since it’s 2 Hoagies. A half was more than enough for both me and my girlfriend. The Mutz was fantastic and the meatballs were just as good. Definitely will be visiting often to try the chicken parm.

I've been a customer of theirs for DECADES. Great people who offer delicious food at a phenomenal price. One sandwich is big enough for two people! Win win win!

Tooooooooooo much food overkill. They pack so much meat into tne sandwich that it can't even close all the way. Now I'm all for a big nice fat sandwich, but when you can wrap your wide open mouth around the sandwich and it becomes messy and falls apart and spills all over the place, it's not a pleasant experience...

Ordered: Turkey, Roast Beef, and Swiss Cheese on a Hero ($16): with everything aka lettuce, tomatoes, sweet/spicy peppers, onions, and mayo Deep River Sea Salt Chips ($2) Aya's take: Could you ever really go wrong with an Italian sandwich? There are a few Italian delis in the Hoboken area and I decided to check out M&P. I stopped by 15 mins before closing (I wish they would open later) and ordered right away. The sandwich is massive. It was shared among 2 people and I couldn't even finish my half - I ate it the next day and yes, it still hit the spot. The hero was fresh, firm on the outside, and soft on the inside. It held everything together decently and I definitely recommend getting all the toppings on it. The only thing lacking on the sandwich was some red wine vinegar and olive oil. No sandwich is complete without a bag of chips so do yourself a favor and grab one too. Check them out and remember, it's cash only!

Cash only Got the roast beef, mutz, and roasted peppers ($16) to compare to the other Italian delis in town. I'm not sure if the roast beef is store made, but it seemed more like supermarket roast beef. The mutz is excellent, just a tick down from Fiore's and Lisa's on a good day but better than them on a better day. The peppers are a nice touch. Excellent consistency that's easy to bite and chew. Got the chicken cutlet sub with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers ($15). The slab of mutz was 3/4 inches thick and the length of the 10 inch sub. The chicken was good but a little old. The mutz is absolutely fantastic; it's fluffy and delicious. The peppers are thick, and they complement the chicken and mutz perfectly. I really appreciate that the sandwich held together. The chicken cutlet is the sandwich to get.

My first time ordering from a deli in Hoboken. The Owner was so nice and attentive on phone while place my order. I order half chicken parm sandwich ($11). It was the right size for two people was more than enough. It was delicious. Cash only there is an atm inside.

The sandwiches here are an absolute unit. Literally "half" a sub can feed two people. Don't be like us and order 3 "halves." They have very classic Italian New Jersey style subs, thinly sliced meat piled high on some fresh bread. Make sure to drink plenty of water as the sodium content is through the roof, but they're delicious.

Look at this absolute monster. Weighed in at 2lbs.... Will absolutely be back - place reminds me of arthur ave :)

This is currently my favorite deli in Hoboken. You pay a good amount but it is completely worth it as the sandwiches are 2 inches thick. A very nice couple owns and operates this establishment. I've had multiple sandwiches from here and none have disappointed.

Old school deli. Husband and wife run this place and will tell you how it is good or bad. I've been yelled at a couple of times myself lol part of the experience. Sandwiches are massive so be ready for it. Mozz is amazing and they actually supply the salad shop alfalfa's mozz as well. The chicken parmigiana sandwich is huge and great. They catered a party for us before and cut up a bunch of sandwiches for us on a platter. Everyone loved it!

This place is legit. I attended the annual Mozz fest and these guys win easily. The secret is they don't let the mozz sit overnight and get rubbery but bring it fresh from the deli to the tasting after making in the wee early hours like a good baker. They make killer sandwiches as well and I waited to post this after finally trying the more famous competition a few blocks east and these guys win again in the sandwich duel. This place is a gem.

You can't beat this old school Italian deli. First off - best bang for your buck, period. The sandwiches are HUGE and a few dollars less than others in the area. Secondly, it's super flavorful and fresh every time. Italian combo vibe this visit with prosciutto, hot capicola, mortadella, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers that weighed probably 3 pounds. Go by and see for yourself!

Love the fresh mozz here! Also great they have a menu to choose from but you can always add or create however you want. Great bread too!

Old school deli run by a husband and wife that have been doing it right for a while. This is a straightforward spot that has all the bells and whistles of your typical deli. They have huge sandwiches at an insanely reasonable price so you are covered. I will say sometimes the sandwiches are so packed with meat and cheese that it is hard to eat but its better than skimping on the ingredients. I went with the chicken cutlet with american cheese mayo, lettuce, and banana peppers. So good and it was more than I could eat. The mozzarella is also a just order and they make it fresh daily. When you order it on a sandwich is comes packed on there. Perfectly silky and milky and done just right. They also have hot food that sells out quick if you don't come early! The chicken parm is beautiful but they also have eggplant parm. The chicken cutlets are also solid so get them on a sandwich. I love Mom and Pop shops that do it right. I hope they stay here for many more years. Highly recommend when in Hoboken.

Hands down, the best mozzarella I've ever had. Came here with high expectations and they delivered! Usually delis are in a rush and don't have much time for small talk or providing top tier customer service, especially if they're really good and know it. But the person behind the counter was very entertaining and friendly too! We had gotten the Italian sandwich and breaded chicken and mozzarella sandwich. The Italian sandwich was delicious, meats were fantastic. However I would highly recommend the chicken and mozzarella sandwich simply based on the fact that you can really taste the cheese. And they are not shy with it at all! Definitely at this point my favorite deli in all of Hoboken. And one of the best quality sandwiches I've had.

Outstanding food and Mutz served by 2 of the nicest people on earth If you are not hungry this is not your place every sandwich is a meal

This is one of the great Hoboken Italian delis. They do everything really well. I've had several different sandwiches and they've all been great. The people who work here are very nice and the prices are great. I highly recommend.

Life changing! This is the softest, creamiest, perfectly salted pillow of mozz you will ever have. Light years beyond any fresh mozz I have tasted. We each got a "whole" sandwich (meaning whole baguette) to make it worth our while. We got there on the early side because I hear they typically run out of ingredients by 3pm (or earlier)! We tried the prosciutto/mozz/roasted red pepper and the mozz/tomato/basil/balsamic (they were out of fresh basil so they used pesto instead). They serve it open faced with thick slices of mozz so they can get pretty unwieldy (not a bad thing!). The sandwiches were great but the real star was the mozz - I could eat it plain or as a caprese salad any day. The mozz was still warm, so if you take leftovers home it will harden up a little in the fridge and won't be the same as eating it right then and there. They also have some imported Italian groceries/snacks/drinks (san benedetto teas) and hot food. It's a small place so seating is limited. On the way home, I slipped into a cheese coma like never before - sleepy, calm, content, and not a care in the world!

Amazing spot. Long-term owners are extremely friendly, and sandwiches are the largest in town. You will legit get 2 meals out of 1 sandwich here and this is coming from a walking garbage disposal that can eat with the best of them. Their mozzarella is delicious and it never gets lost in their meat-packed sandwiches. Go with one of their specials with Italian cold cuts and mozzarella and you won't be disappointed. Or do a prosciutto, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomatoes which is my personal favorite. I also have tried some of their catered baked ziti a long time ago and remember it being incredible. If you are ever uptown and want to taste an authentic Italian deli sandwich, stop by M&P!

Ummm..I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO'S BEEN KEEPING THIS DELI A SECRET FROM ME THIS WHOLE TIME?? Seriously? Incredible. Easily one of the best subs I've ever had in my life. Ham, cappicola, prosciutto, pepperoni, fresh mozz, a I had him addsundried tomatoes. Loved loved loved every bite I smashed into my face. Amazing sub, lovely staff, cute dog..do you need anything else? Nope, they got it all.

We stopped by yesterday to get our lunch. We got #C and roast beef with fresh mozzarella and grilled red peppers. Both sandwiches are sooo crazy good!!! The mozzarella is a killer!! It's one of my fave mozzarella thus far. Good texture and good taste, and they put a generous amount of mozzarella on your sandwich as well. The bread is also good and at par with other Italian deli shops in the area. Quite chewy but not tough chewy even when it's cold. I wish the bread is warm (who can resist fresh breads right out of the oven), but then that's rather typical among Italian deli shops. And the size - oh my!!! Even for $12, with the amount of meats and cheeses that they put, it's so worth every penny. This shop is thus far my favorite Italian deli shop in NYC/Hoboken/Jersey City area. I would definitely come back here without any doubts!!! There are several excellent Italian deli shops in the area that I have personally tried, but this one is definitely very special and win my heart. It's somewhat a smaller shop. It's an honest, old school, and no frills shop. Not sure if it's COVID-19 era thing and they're running with minimal staffs, but when we're there, the shop / counter was run by only 2 people; possibly a husband and a wife. I felt that I was getting my sandwich from the old country - which felt like a legit thing!! By the way, for a first timer (like myself) ordering your food could be quite challenging and intimidating, especially with the add-ons like roasted peppers, basil, and etc. You can't also spend 15 mins wondering what to order. You gotta order your sandwich pretty chop-chop. You have to appreciate the fact that they're only 2 people working in the shop and there might be customers waiting behind you. You can enjoy your order outside. There are some limited 3-5 outdoor tables right by the entrance door. There is no service though. The indoor dining area appears to be closed.

Where do I begin...the best tasting chicken parmigiana and homemade sauce...absolutely the most delectable eggplant...mouthwatering mozzarella and scrumptious sun-dried tomatoes. Thank you for all of your hard work in creating your delicious food - it is greatly appreciated.

Got the eggplant parm sandwich good taste but why is a hot sandwich there always served cold it makes no sense it should be hot The prices go up every other week a few months ago it was 10 for lunch then 11 now last week 12 the meatballs were like footballs I kid you not !!

The best of the best!! These sandwiches are amazing like literally the best sandwiches that you'll ever have! This sandwiches are enormous by the way, you can't even fit it into your mouth I can only eat half because it's that big also definitely get the sundries tomatoes they are out of this world! This place is a small mom and pop place they close I believe by 2/3pm they also have street parking and located on twelfth and Washington

I grew up I Hoboken within walking distance of this amazing Italian deli! BEST ham & mutz or prosciutto & mutz sammies bar none! Fresh ingredients, wonderful family, amazing prices...what more could you want?? I'll be coming back soon to visit. South Jersey is a lonely place for an authentic Italian looking for REAL mozzarella, Italian bread, and authentic hot meals unless you make it yourself!!

What a freaking sandwich!!! Had heard a lot about m&p and it surely lived up to the reputation. Walked in around 1pm on a Saturday for lunch. We saw how enormous the sandwiches were on yelp so we decided to split one half, which was absolutely the right call! There was only one person in front of us when we came in so we ordered very quickly. We went with sandwich C - ham, salami, prosciutto, capicola, mozz and then we added roasted red peppers and oil and balsamic. I've literally never seen so much meat or mozz stuffed into a sandwich. It was impossible to get one bite with everything in the sandwich because it was that wide. Definitely messy to eat! The mozz was the best part of the sandwich. The meats were great too but damn that mozz is on another level. The soft bread was good too but nothing to write home about. The sandwich was $10.50 - perfect size for two. Would definitely love to come back and try other sandwiches, bring home mozz, and get some of the hot food!

In town from Alabama for a wedding and the bride had this place on the tip of her tongue as a place we should try. Oh My Goodness! We arrived about 3:30 on a Saturday to find a short line. As our turn came up, we were presented with "I'm out of bread. It will be 20 minutes before the bakery delivers more." I'm all about eating local when I travel and this place is clearly local, so my wife and I decided to wait. After a short time, they started stacking chairs. They explained that if they didn't close by 4:00 folks would come in and hang out until midnight, so we were the last customers of their day. The bread arrived on time, and my wife and I ordered a half sandwich each. We should have shared one half between us! I barely finished half of my half and my wife had 3/4 of her half left when she cried uncle. Never in my life have I had a sandwich with this much meat on it. Enormous portions, fresh bread, delicious meats, what more could you want? This is all buildup to the mutz-yes, I learned a new word today. [Mutz - Noun. Short for mozzarella] I love cheese! These folks make fresh mutz everyday. Because we had to wait, we were treated to a large slice one one of the best fresh cheeses I've ever eaten before we got our order. We Americans often describe our travels in terms of the foods we eat. If you find yourself in Hoboken, this is a great place to make a food memory!

This should be illegal! SO much yum in one sandwich. Always fresh, made to order and great quality. My favorite chicken sandwich in Hoboken for sure!

The sandwiches are MASSIVE! The mozzarella is amazing, seriously. Some folks argue who is better. Let them argue while you eat all the mutz! Everything here is good. Get it all.

Omg. This muz/moz/mozzarella is out of this world. We overdid it our first time and ordered way too much to take home. But don't worry, none was wasted. If you're looking for fresh mozzarella for your holiday platters, sandwiches or if you just love mozz and want to eat it by itself, this is the place to go. Their chicken cutlet sandwich is solid as well if you're looking more than just mozzarella. We're back for our second time, stocking up for the "holidays" aka we just needed an excuse to make it acceptable to eat another lb of mozz. Def give this place a try and support this small business ! #shoplocal

I've been hearing that the sammies here are bomb and one Monday afternoon, I finally got to try it. I ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella Sammie ($11.50). It sounds pricey for a sandwich but trust me, with the amount of meat and cheese they stuff in there, it's completely worth it. My boyfriend and I shared it as we were both stuffed! My only gripe was the bread. It was super chewy. I'm not sure if it was because I went midday and I got the second to last piece of bread. But I'm willing to go earlier next time and give it another try. Their mozzarella is just too good to pass up.

Been in (downtown) Hoboken 25 years and love me some Fiore's and Vito's heroes. I eat there weekly. But often I would hear people singing the praises of M&P's. I decided to order an Italian Hero. I didn't spell it out, I figured they must have a standard Italian Hero on the menu. Asked for sweet peppers. They had in ready for pickup in 20 minutes. Basically it was boiled ham, salami, mutz, lettuce, tomato, roasted red peppers & oil/vinegar. No offense, but I kinda was expecting a bit more. I read reviews about how the sandwiches are "LOADED". I would agree - it was a big slab of ham & salami with two teeny-tiny slices of mutz on it. The mutz was delicious, no doubt. But they really were cheap with the amount of mutz on the sandwich. The meats - just your standard cold cuts. My guess it was Thumanns. I was thinking maybe they would have capicola or mortadella on the sandwich versus just a ham and salami sandwich. Also it was a bit soggy. Drenched in oil and vinegar, sitting for a bit, and it was a mess to eat. Was it good? Sure, I would rate like a 7 out of 10. But for my time and money, i'd pick Vito's over M&Ps. They just craft a nicer sandwich with the Vito's Hero. Probably won't come back. I don't get the "wow factor" everyone gives this place. It's okay.

The eggplant Parmesan sandwich I had here was historically good. I also really enjoyed talking with the friendly family that runs this shop.

Husband & wife duo who do it right. Sandwiches are off the hook and huge. Enough for two people.

Meats? More meats. Meats? More meats. Meats? Meats. My most sincere apologies to Bova's Bakery in Boston - your reign of "best Italian sub" ended the moment I took my first bite. A good measure of any deli like this is how strong of an Italian they have - and believe me, it is AMAZING. For $9, I got a fully loaded Italian piled so high (with some of the tastiest Italian meats i've ever had) that the bread wouldn't even close . It lasted me two lunches, though it was so good I'm surprised I didn't kill the whole thing in one sitting. And this was just ONE sandwich. I still need to try the roast beef, the mutz, the various parms...but I know they will be amazing, because this one sandwich...it's hard to find the right words to accurately describe it's greatness. I'm an Italian guy through and through, so I could come here every single day. Even if you aren't in the market for a sandwich, they have other Italian food, Italian sides, and a lot of Italian groceries to buy. I was the only one in there (late lunch) and had time to stare at every single thing they sold and chat with the awesome owners (who spoke, of course, Italian) while I ate my food. There are a lot of places to go in Hoboken for food like this, and many of them are fantastic - but M&P, at this moment, tops the list for me. Go here. Eat sandwiches. Be Italian.

The Mutz melts in your mouth! The owners are pleasant. This Deli is a gem. Cash only!

Absolute BEST mozzarella in Hoboken! The sub was HUGE, delicious, and super fresh! The owners were very friendly and attentive too. Highly recommend and definitely will be coming back! FYI, cash only

Great mom and pop sandwich shop . Heaps of meat and fresh mutz. Next time I will ask to add the sweet peppers, olive oil and vinegar on my C large.(my fault as a newbie customer )

My Italian relatives come all the way up from North Carolina just to have these sandwiches. They are GINORMOUS and so delicious; if you're on a diet, definitely don't go here! Very old school NJ deli vibe like right out of the Sopranos. Great people who work there and endless combinations of Italians meats and of course the fresh mutz! Definitely get the roasted red peppers and sun dried tomatoes on top of your sandwich, game changer.

Great Italian sub. Arrived at 2p no chicken cutlets, was disappointed. Family owned and operated,

Thank you for brightening my day with the best sandwich I've had in my life. I ordered the "B" (only a half, which was gigantic) with roasted peppers, and somehow there was a bit of fresh basil and it all was heavenly. Roast beef, salami, ham and fresh mutz were the other components.

This is probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The mutz- OH EM GEE!!!! It is literally THEE BEST!!! I got the roast beef, turkey, mutz, roasted pepper, and onion and it was sooooo filling... Got the half, and you can literally split it with someone and still be full. I stuffed it down b/c it was soo good. The couple working there (I'm guessing the owners) were super friendly. It is a bit pricey but worth every penny. I paid $13 for my sandwich and a water. Seating outside and inside. MUST HAVE THE MUTZ HERE! Cash only!

There are a lot of really good Italian delis in Hoboken that are worthy of a trip. But this could be the best of the best. Went a couple of times recently and was blown away every time. The mozzarella is epic. The ingredients are great. The owners are welcoming. This is a place you can bring your friends from the city.. or from Italy and know they'll love it.

Uhhhhh, TO DIE FOR! The level of these sandwiches are unreal and you just can't beat the husband wife team serving you. Hot subs and cold are equally amazing. Home made daily mozz is something to be seen, look at the pics..... Get a half sandwich, it is MORE than enough. Also, great Italian grocery options....load up in pasta if you are local. What a place and can't say enough about how wonderful the owners were to us texans!

Hoboken, NJ is known for its history, waterfront views, bars, and of course "mutz." M&P has been not just mine but my entire family's go to spot for Italian style sandwiches and mozzarella. Yes. There are many other places in town that others are loyal to but trust me when I say no one serves it up like Pete and Teresa (the owners). If you decide to get a sandwich anytime after 2:00pm you might be pushing your luck and get the sad news they're out of bread. That's because people line up early to get their hands on one of the signature sandwiches with mutz. I keep it simple and always order a ham, salami, and mutz sandwich. If I'm feeling daring I'll add some roasted red peppers. You can get your sandwich on a roll, half Italian bread, or a whole Italian bread both offering hard and soft. This sandwich is HUGE. They are known to load it up with the cold cuts and mutz. I always get a roll sandwich and at times when I've gotten a half it was to split it with someone. M&P has been around since it was "Old Hoboken." It's a true Italian family place filled with so much culture. They truly appreciate their customers and that's what makes you want to come back. I'll always be an M&P girl and wouldn't trade my loyalty for any other Italian spot.

Awesome amazing perfect place when you crave Italian sandwich! The best Italian deli place. I love their mozzarella!!! Recommend to everyone who likes Italian deli meat, mozz, anything!

As advertised, they really do have the best mutz. Has the feel of 1975 with everything fresh fresh fresh. Good quality salamis and prosciutto along with red sauce sandwiches

I can see why they won best muzz in Hoboken. Sandwiches are great. Two thumbs up. I'll be returning with bigger pants

Amazing, enough said. Best fresh mutz in hoboken Just remember, cash only ....................................

Now I know why M & P Biancamano won the Hoboken Mutzfest last year! I find it so much easier to come to Italian delis in Hoboken during the week after work. The parking seems to be better, got one right out front today. This is strictly a take-out place though there are a couple of tables out front. The sandwich WOW! It was so big I only ordered 1/2 and had some when I got home and the rest was dinner for me and the wife. The sandwich was the Super C special on the recommendation of the woman behind the counter. It was a great call, I enjoyed it immensely. Trust me.. all you need is 1/2. It was packed with ham, cappicola, prosciutto, pepperoni, and can't forget their award winning fresh mutz topped off with lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, oil and vinegar. Total price for the sandwich, $ 8.75, such a deal! Also, they have a small selection of salads and hot daily specials. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area. Mangia Bene!
