Old-school corner store deli with incredible subs, fresh meat
"P&K is kind of easy to pass by — it looks like your normal convenience store with not much more than an unassuming sign marking the entrance — but the deli counter in the back is what you’re here for. A third-generation, family-run deli, the owners are renowned for their jam-packed Italian subs. And, at just $11.50, the sandwiches are shockingly affordable for the area." - Nathan Tavares
"This little deli-counter-tucked-inside-an-old-school-corner-store makes my favorite meatball sub in town, and I eat more meatball subs than I care to admit. Others swear by the Italian, but the meatball sub has my heart. The bread is an almost impossible texture: It’s perfectly soft, but it never gets soggy from the sauce. —Rachel Leah Blumenthal" - Nathan Tavares
"An old-school deli in Somerville that historically had little to no online presence but has recently started using Instagram and at least a basic website. That late embrace of digital tools is described as bittersweet — signaling the end of an era — but is ultimately seen as smart for business and more convenient for customers." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Around since 1952, this little corner store with a deli counter tucked in the back is a bit of a hidden gem near the Somerville/Cambridge line. The meatball sub was already a favorite of mine pre-pandemic, and I’ve eaten quite a few of them this year, while my husband (and many other fans of the shop) typically opt for the Italian. I’m always impressed by how well the bread holds up to the saucy meatballs while still retaining a good level of softness. —RLB Currently offering takeout; closed weekends.

"A Somerville convenience-store-turned-hidden-gem sub shop known for a hefty meatball sub and newly updated online presence, making a longtime neighborhood favorite easier to find." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
