Tully's Italian Deli

Showed up after I was hit with hard cravings for Italian food from Italian neighborhoods back East. Looking for Salsicca but struck out. Ordered the Italian Sausage sandwich. It worked. Very good Sandwich ! The staff were down to Earth and very personable. The Bakery is unbelievable ! Don’t pass this place up !

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed TULLY’s special monthly Italian Dinner Night – definitely worthy of a top-class fine-dining Italian restaurant, but this is a “deli”: local and reasonably priced. To start, we were served a champagne glass with a delicious blood orange aperitif. Then we had a Caprese Salad, with an especially creamy fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese and ripe heirloom tomatoes over an arugula salad bed – a nice change from traditional basil leaves. And it was really delicious, per comments from us and other tables. Then we were served an antipasto of golden deep-fried calamari in warm garlic-lemon and olive oil – that was really outstanding and tasty, especially since it’s very hard to cook large calamari pieces without it becoming rubbery. Then, the main course – rigatoni with Bolognese sauce – was amazing! Lots of pasta, lots of sauce, lots of broccoli rabe – bigger serving sizes than most restaurants. Indeed, a very exceptional banquet. Finally, we were served a vanilla panna cotta dessert with assorted berries – super tasty and sweet! Not to mention, Tully’s included a very good Pino Grigio wine with the antipasti, and an excellent Sangiovese wine with the main dish. We absolutely loved this superb dinner! Very highly recommended, especially for the first-rate quality of food and the reasonable prices – and very friendly personal service.

I did not enjoy it at all . They put a whole damn head of lettuce in my sandwich so I couldn't see how there was almost no meat . And potato salad was store bought it was not made there . I don't recommend especially if you like warm sandwiches.

This place was established in the 70s. It's very eclectic and distinctive. They have world-class sandwiches with such names as The Godfather and the Sophia Loren. Another highlight is a bakery called Santorini which is included in Tullys. They make wonderful Italian cookies and a huge variety of biscotti (I recommend the caramel almond), and Italian cookies ( I recommend the Sesame seed cookie) In a month or so they will be making panforte there. It's the only place that I have discovered in the Western United States that makes it. It's a wonderful place, and it's worth finding. It's very much off the beaten track.

Tully's is amazing! The food is great and so is the bakery! The makes a Sicilian style parmesan and wine sausage that takes me back to my childhood. Incredible selections of olive oil and pasta's. If you were Sicilian or of Italian descent this place is a must go. There's nothing else like it in Albuquerque! Gratzie Tully's

The food is delicious and the place is always busy! The bread is so fresh and delicious! Service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic!

I finally made it and I am so glad I did! Everything you could want imported from Italy and even some things you don't expect. Great atmosphere, and service from Johnny at the sandwich counter. Can't wait to be back

I usually don’t post pics of food but this is picture worthy. How have I never been to this place I don’t know. I will definitely be back, this place is a true delight. Great food Amazing quality service.

Stopped in to Tully's to get some parm reggiano and always leave with extras. They have fresh pasta, it was good. They are always friendly and the store is always clean. The jarred pasta/marinara sauce is wonderful.

Thank you Johnny and crew. The catered dinner you provide for my 50 guest was nothing short of amazing. Delicious, quality and so beautifully presented. I keep hearing from our guest, "Who did the catering?" Tully's is a deli with awesome sandwiches, Tully's is a bakery with the best cookies, and Tully's is a Italian grocery store with hard to find items. Mostly Tully's is a fantastic small, locally owned business that is worthy of your support.

I have been going to Tullys for over 25 years. The owner did not remember me but his parents sold my grandparents specialty foods from the old world. My freaking grandparents. This is a gem of an Italian deli and a quite top flight bakery. What Sarah has done e with that bakery is amazing. Real honest to goodness treats from all over Europe prepared rite here in NM. We went tonight as a special valentines package that they offered. The package began with a complementary Bellini of the raspberry variety. There was not a non alcoholic offering but a sip revealed an excellent Prosecco. The champagne flute was dressed with red sugar and was garnished with a few fresh perfectly ripe raspberries. There was a dressing of red raspberry sauce at the bottom and my wife enjoyed them well. There were pretzels and a delicious garlic dipping sauce on the table when we were seated. The meal began with a charcuterie offering of select cheeses, a selection of traditional high quality Italian cured meats, and delicious olives. Sarah had the Italian wedding soup and I had the Caesars salad. The soup was delicious and true to tradition. The Caesars salad was presented very well with a romaine heart half dressed with the dressing and anchovie cutlets. It was served on a plate so small that cutting it up was difficult to get done without making a mess. Other than that the ingredients were excellent with a delicious home made dressing. Bigger plate please. The next course was the entrees of veal and chicken piccata. Each was expertly prepared with meat cooked to perfection and a beautifully balanced sauce. Served with steamed asparagus. The next offering was dessert with offerings of crème friache "chantilly cream" berry tarts offered in either chocolate or vanilla or a flourless chocolate Torte. We opted for the chantilly tarts in Martin and Lewis. The tarts were expertly baked with a perfect density and not too sweet. The cream was light yet dense flavored with some manner of dark arts yielding a balanced flavor with a hint of something amazing. The service was good with most of the staff quietly and professionally delivering food timed to perfection. The owner was way too familiar with my wife making a big deal out of her being there and not even managing to use my name once the entire night. I was going to your deli years before my wife. Guess being a customer is not enough to be treated well you have to have a weird attraction from the owner to warrant service here. We went for valentines dinner not to catch up with Johnny all night. With Johnny fawning over my wife all night it made things very uncomfortable since we were there for Valentines dinner. Not the best ambiance for lovers with the Johnny show going on the whole time. Matuccis at least lets lovers dine in peace. The handicap "space" out front is a wheelchair van trap. There is a sign for the space and it was open when we arrived. The space is only a standard "skinny" parking space and is not painted off with anywhere near the room needed for any of off loading type of vehicle. I was able to use it as I was wearing my AFOs and it was short enough distance to not need my walker. The restaurant itself should wheelchair accessible but as I said without any real handicap space a side loading vehicle could not offload unless 2 spaces are open next to each other and if left in the parking lot could have access blocked. Being handicapped myself I feel responsibility to include these details and apologize if I rambled on this one a little. This place is a top notch deli and market. It offers authentic traditional Italian foods and amazing baked goods of all types. Everything here is good one of my favorites was a meat and cheese bread only baked and offered on Friday. I got half of Presbyterian main hooked on that stuff as I would stop by many fridays buying it to put out in the ER break room where I worked as an EMT. Good times are had with Tullys food. Great deli and specialty bakery and food market. Sandwiches that are life changing and extremely addictive. Based on those I would give 5 stars. The reason for 4 stars is we went for a romantic valentines couples dinner and Johnny hung all over my wife all night "he even used a microphone at one point". We left feeling a little weird and needing to talk. Not the best date night. Keep up the deli thing.

Tully's is a sandwich shop, deli, bakery and grocery store. You can find a bunch of Italian staples like pasta, sauces and fresh meats, along side frozen ready made meals like chicken parm (with gluten free options). The bakery has an assortment of Italian treats and they do custom cakes! It's a really cool spot with a NY ambiance. Now let's talk sandwiches- these things are top notch! I especially love their house made pesto. Go check it out and sit in for lunch!!

Pretty cool little deli. You can order sandwiches or just some meat. They also have some pre made meals in the freezer and pasta and sauce you can buy. In the room over they have a bakery with Italian cookies and canoli. Then they also have a room that makes cakes. Definitely worth giving a try.

What an amazing place for Italian bakery goods and other Italian products! We went to get some traditional Italian Christmas cookies and came away with great deals and tasty cookies and desserts! Walking in the deli smell was amazing! They sell sandwiches, Italian pastas and frozen items! Definitely a treat of a place! Service was really great and they were bringing fresh cookies out! Amazing!

First timer but this is such a great spot. It looks smaller from the outside but it's a restaurant, deli, mini mart, and bakery. We just got sandwiches this time but they were so fresh and so delicious. Service was quick and easy and there were plenty of people coming in to shop at the little market. Warning that the full sandwich sizes are huge.

Great sandwiches and then some!!! Love places like this....they offer freshly made deli sandwiches, desserts, pastries, salads. The store has pastas, Sauces, olive oil, sausages, cheese and premade/frozen dishes for take home and cook.

I ordered an eggplant parmesan sandwich online. Though I usually am not all that into eggplant parmesan for some reason, it was delicious! I thought the price seemed high when placing my order, but it was huge and high quality! I ate it in 3 separate sittings. The ambience inside this place is very casual. Not a sit down restaurant feel. There is a small Italian market to browse with a fun selection of foods. I couldn't resist buying some grocery items! They are pricey, but seem to be high quality options and many seem to be imported from Italy. You can also get various frozen foods like ravioli- would have liked to see more vegetarian options in the freezer when I went.

Tullys is a great little bakery and deli. They have amazing baked cookies, pastries, and cakes. They make themed baked goods so its always a perfect spot to get Valentines, Easter, and any holiday cookie. They also have a mini store inside where you can get pastas, cheeses, sauces and meats. Did i mention how amazing their sandwiches are?

Hmm Italian Deli, fond childhood memories of Saturday trips to the "Italian Store" to pick up ingredients for Sunday dinner. If you grew up in an Italian household you probably understand this. Sauce on Saturday for dinner on Sunday. Whats missing here?The aroma of freshly baked breads and Italian spoken by almost everyone in the store. The shelves are stocked with items from the Old Country and cases filled with deli meats, cheeses and olives. The bakery is down the hall - still no aroma. But we came for the food. 12" Sicilian Sub for me - sorry mama (she warned me about Sicilians). Plus a salad for the Mrs. Huh? Ya know when in Roma... The sub was huge! Full of meats - including a not so mild capocollo. Ah now we're cooking. The salad was equally large. We got olives to go and some biscotti for dessert. The Saturday shopping trips ended many years ago but it looks like this may become a regular Saturday stop for us. Mama would be proud

My husband and I went here for a late lunch yesterday. I got the Pachino and my husband got the Sicilian. The sandwiches were delicious and huge! They were a little hard to eat and messy, but it was so good with plenty of meat and toppings. The only thing I wished was different was that the bread crust be a little softer. I had a hard time biting through it, but if you like a more toothy bread, then this is the place for you. This place seemed to have many regulars and everyone working there seemed to be happy to be working and friendly. Definitely my kind of place. We walked around to the bakery and I saw something I'd never seen before. Sfogliatelle! I didn't even care what was inside. Those flaky and crispy layers were all I needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find it just lightly sweet inside. It was perfect! Looking forward to going back and trying their other sandwiches.

Run don't walk to this exceptional Italian deli in Albuquerque! Absolutely did not disappoint. The owner Johnny had a epic handlebar mustache a welcomed us all the way from Galveston TX. Sandwiches are ginormous and legit delish! Best cannoli I have ever had. Go now, they have pumpkin for the season. There are not enough superlatives for this awesome spot! Enjoy !

Wonderful supply of Italian foods, bakery and biscotti bar. I feel like I am back in Italy and I can't wait to come back. They also have a sandwich punchcard, once you try their sandwiches you will definitely want one. I'm leaving with eggplant parmigiana and baked goods.

Today was my first visit to Tullys. It is a combination, Italian deli, and Italian specialty grocery store with a bakery. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the Cubano sandwich. Very big portion, I could only eat half. I was very happy to see so many Italian grocery items. I didn't buy any bakery items today but they look delicious. Prices are reasonable. This will become a "go to" stop for those times when I am craving a sandwich and want to stock my pantry for Italian style home cooking.

There's a tale long told of a magical deli in Albuquerque called Tully's Italian Deli. In my holy quest for the best food in town my mates and I commenced our invasion. Jim Domina had the Al Pacino, with Capacola ham, Genoa salami and provolone. Jay Miller opted for a simple hot pastrami with mustard and provolone. I went all out and got the Joe DiMaggio, with pastrami, ham, Genoa salami and copious amounts of olives and banana peppers. I'm not a bread person, but have to say that this bread may be the best sammich bread I've had. No matter that mine was obviously the most visually pleasing, we all came out victorious! Plus, these sammiches are ENORMOUS! The Deli also has everything an Italian chef could ever want, and the bakery was a sweet lover's paradise! So do yourselves a favor. Go check out Tully's. Thank me later.

I've had Italian subs before, but my goodness the ones from here were delicious. They have a selection of fresh sandwich meats which really make the flavor pop in the delicious, large but light bread. On this occasion, I had the Joe D'Maggio. When I first laid eyes on it, I didnt think I could put down the whole thing. Once I started eating it, it proved difficult to stop. The also have many cool imported Italian food products that they sell. They also have a lot of house made products that look interesting to try. I will be back.

Just found this place! Sandwiches for lunch and took some frozen raviolis home for dinner.

Tully's is amazing. The world needs more delis like this, or at least Albuquerque does. Any sub on their menu is fresh and authentic. Their store has a great selection of imported Italian foods and the service is friendly and welcoming. I love the old school vibe of Tully's. If you haven't tried it, go try what a sub can be soon.

I only have four words to describe. "Albuquerques best deli/italian market" get off your ass and try it if you want authentic.

Very disappointed in the eggplant parmesan sandwich. Bread was soggy and eggplant and cheese were sparse.

The food, both the hot sandwiches we had for lunch, as well as the prepared frozen meal we took home , were fantastic! Great flavor, and very healthy portions. Tully's is at the top of our list for special lunch sandwiches and prepared Italian food to reheat at home.

The food was delicious! Love the grocery store and the baked goods were all wonderful.

Great options and deli. It's hard to find places with as many items for spreads. I crave a good spread every once in a a while and they had the goods.

Been driving past this place for years and finally stopped to try it this week. My only regret was not stopping sooner! I'm not a sandwich guy but the Joe DiMaggio was delicious! Already visited a second time. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. The desserts and the market portion just send it to a different level. I will be a frequent customer now!

Oh man, what subs.!! I got two to take home and they were fabulous. Got an Italian for me and a Turkey-Cheese for my wife. This is the place !!

Back to Albuquerque... and another restaurant review ;-). Being that I'm in a sandwich phase and that I couldn't eat anything spicy (Nausea SUCKS!!!!), we settled on Tullys Deli #tullysdeli_saratorisbakery and I was transported to the land of happy memories growing up in Philly (and trips to New York) whose delis were small grocery stores with a handful of tables. A good number of products were imported... they even had parmigianno Reggiano ! We got the Sinatra sandwich, which was served with prosciutto di Parma, Mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, and pesto. We got the sfogliatelle to go, but these were described as orange with ricotta ... I'll let you in on my opinion in the comments ;-).Speaking of the sfogliatelle, how do you eat them? Slice, bite, or peel? (That's me!) Follow up question ... what foods bring back happy memories for you ??? Tangent aside, this place gets a 5 out of 5 in my book #gourmetrecovery #teampeel #happychildhoodfoodsseries

KILLER GOOD sandwiches that are GINORMOUS! Each sandwich is made to order so they're always super fresh. My son won't order anything but the Joe DiMaggio (pastrami) because he loves that one so much. My favorite is the Panaccio (aka the Friday Sandwich because it's only offered on Fridays). A freakin' HUGE hot sandwich SO worth the wait! We've been known to hurt ourselves on a Panacchio because it's so good we can't stop eating! They come out of the oven at noon. Order in advance to be sure you get one! Tully's has imported groceries, meats, cheeses that aren't to be found anywhere else in Albuquerque. Tully's has all kinds of frozen meals prepared in house. They also have a pastry shop at one end so there's dessert too. What a deal- and seriously awesome! I'd leave pictures but I ate everything...

Overall the deli reminds me of the local mom and pop delicatessen's back in the tristate area! I think I am willing to give them the title of best hoagies outside of NJ, NY, and PA. The deli meat was sliced thinner than I'm accustomed to and the sub didn't have mayo. The oil and vinegar blend was very good and with the fresh bread it really can't be beat. I'm still on the lookout for a true tristate hoagie but haven't had any luck! Overall I would recommend l! they do have pannacio fresh at noon on Friday's so be sure to be there early to enjoy one of them! Love this place and will be back.

The portions are massive, like so massive I was able to make four meals out of one sub. I ordered a Joe DiMaggio and a cannoli to go and it took me days to finish it all. There is so much going on here, I had no idea that this sub spot was also a specialty grocery store. You can get just about anything from cannoli shells to frozen meals galore. I'm really impressed with the amount of items offered here. My sweet tooth is very much satisfied from all the sugary options in the bakery area. Cheers to options, right? As for my meal, I found everything to be pretty good. The cannoli filling was wonderful, one of my favorite sweet treats. The shell was fine. The sandwich was loaded with meats and veggies, the portions will not leave you wanting. I also really enjoyed their potato salad, it's really good. I did find the sauce to be a bit lacking on the sand which, I added more at home. I also didn't love the bread, it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either. Overall, I would totally go back for a quick bite or for some special ingredients next time I'm cooking up something Italian.

Gourmet Sandwiches Are Delicious. Great Service Staff, they are very welcoming, helpful & kind. I also loved the delicious aromas emanating from the bakery side!

Sandwich was epic , I think they use boars head now- very salty. Jarred sauce was great and old skool

If you like it New York Deli style this is your place. There is a small seating area to enjoy your fresh made sandwich. As enjoyable as that is that's not what makes this place exciting. For me it was all the fresh and locally made marinara and spaghetti sauces. They carry a variety Italian oils and pastas. Honestly if you blink you would miss this place. It has been there for decades and definitely a well kept secret. Don't forget to visit the bakery for your sweet tooth.

Best sandwiches ever. Great grocery and really really nice people. Get ready for leftovers!

Underwhelmed with the sandwich (Joe Di Maggio). Lots of vinegar notes from dressing AND pepperocinnis. Not much else flavor except the salt from the meats. The bread used can not withstand all the vinaigrette. Needs a more hearty bread. It got soggy in about 10 min. Go to Little Lucas in San Francisco Bay area, they know exactly how to make a Italian deli sandwich. Cute market for any needs.

Wow! This Philly Italian moved to the Four Corners in December. My mother-in-law had business in ABQ & I asked her to bring me back your housemade sausages & REAL parmiagiano. We finally got around to making a big pot of gravy with your sausages. We are blown away by the quality. Spot on to what we used to buy in South Philly's Italian Market. Next time: We'll be there for the cannoli! Cent'anni e grazie mille.

Amazing place! Sandwhichs are absolutely stacked and full of food. Price seems high, but trust me they absolutely load the bread with meat.

I am a regular at Tully's deli. I order sandwiches, deli items, bakery items and grocery shop there at least once a week. Today it was awful, I ordered a Carmela sandwich and the only thing good was the bread. The chicken was dry as a bone and the peppers/onions had no flavor at all. Even with cheese , it was dry and tasteless. The new counter person, didn't catch her name but she was amazing. I would go back just to order from her. This experience will not stop me from shopping there as it is one of my favorite places but will definitely not order this particular sandwich again. The meatball sub was AMAZING!

Great little Italian deli. One side serves sandwiches to dine in or take out. The other side has an Italian bakery with wonderful baked goods. In the middle they have packaged goods and a freezer filled with frozen meals etc. The service is outstanding. I had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich which was outstanding. If you're looking for a real Italian deli in Albuquerque then this is it!

What a delightful place, I felt like I was in a restaurant back east. The staff was nice, and I will be returning

I feel like I'm very late in the game. I had heard of this place years ago but never made it in. I was missing out! The thing about Tully's sandwiches is, THEY'RE HUGE! Don't believe me? I'm a grown man and I can't finish a sandwich in one sitting. So, bring your appetite (or a partner) and try either the Cubano or their special oven baked Italian sandwich that they only make on Friday's at noon, the Panaccio.

What a great deli. There are so many different pastas, marinara sauces and olive oils, for those of us that are into Italian food this place is a well stock compact deli/market. Furthermore, they have a large selection of humongous sandwiches, that are worth the price. Their world famous "Panaccio" the one pound stuffed bread with ham,pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese, is a must and one of the many reasons I made this drive cross town. Another pleasant surprise is their bakery, that seems endless overwhelming and impossible to leave without some pastry treats! Never be concern about these kind of places pricing, only the smell and quality that only says: Eat-Me!

Yum yum yum! This market/deli/bakery spot is so good! We stopped in for lunch and, after a lot of debate about which subs to get (we wanted them all!), we ended up getting the Al Pacino (Capacollo Ham, Genoa Salami, Provolone, Lettuce,Tomato & Italian Dressing) and the Meatball Sub (Homemade Meatballs, Marinara Sauce with Melted Mozzarella & Parmesan). Both were so good! The Al Pacino is a cold sub, and the meats and cheese are sliced fresh and you can tell. The sub was incredibly substantial, no skimping on meat here! Plus the flavors are so fresh and not overpowering. The Meatball Sub was awesome. As a hot sub, it didn't sound as appealing to me as I read the menu, but when we brought it home and tasted it, I wished I had gotten another one. The meatballs are made in house and the sauce as well, and it is sooooooo tasty! Sometimes the sauce in a meatball sub can be subpar, but this was delish and I can only imagine Joey on Friends would protect this one with his life! In the age of COVID-19, their dining area is closed and social distancing and masks are enforced. Takeout is your option at the moment and it's totally worth it!

just outstanding selective fresh meats ( Sweet sausage) service and selection! The customer service was outstanding, checkout smooth and care free, a purposeful respite from the Costco world ! shop here for all your balloon fiesta antipast, fresh lamb and shanks!!!

I'm finally coming out of my COVID quarantine mentality and trying new places! I was so tired of ordering delivery from only just 'okay' sub places when I told myself I would hunt for the best Italian sub in ABQ. I believe I've found it. For just $12 you get this heaping mass of Italian sub goodness (refer to picture). I ordered the Joe D'Maggio, and with the exception of pastrami in the sandwich for what is usually pepperoni in an Italian submatin, this hit a bullseye and reminded me of home (upstate NY). No more Jersey Mike's delivery for this guy. This monstrosity rivals some of my favorite sub shops back in NY. I just wish it wasn't a 20 minute drive!

Ordered a godmother & cousin Vinny...cousin Vinny would be good minus the honey mustard...it's a bit spicy no warnings. Honey mustard was a bit gross. Godmother was good but no condiments which makes the sandwich a bit dry. The bread makes a sandwich & this bread is quite dense & isn't a star. I may come back to try another sandwich but wasn't impressed.

This is such a great hidden gem. I believe I was told to stop by and get a Cubano sandwich and whatever sandwich I got was excellent and I eat it up really quick, so please visit this local deli and sandwich shop. It will be worth your time.

I live in the southwest but originally from Philadelphia PA, I found this Italian Deli in Albuquerque that when I walk through the store doors, I felt like I was in one of the shops on 9th Street in Philly. I mean they had all the right stuff on the store shelves. When I when to the meat counter, they slice Boars Head lunch meats, thats a big wow, I mean a big wow in the Southwest. So I was there for lunch meats for Italian Hoagies, I was able to buy some really top shelf meats for my Italian Hoagies. I'm not going to say what delicious thinly sliced meats and cheese they slice for me, you'll have to stop by and try them for yourself, if you know what a Hoagie is you won't be disappointed. Also I forgot, the rolls. After you get the meat you have to stop atSergio's Bakery and Cafe, 2740 Wyoming Blvd NE Albuquerque. The best roll I have found so far in Albuquerque NM. But getting back to Tully's Italian Deli and Meats , the atmosphere and Just the smells as you enter the store bring back memories if you've been lucky enough to had them growing up. Ciao

Absolutely delicious! I love sandwiches and have been on a meatball sub kick until I found an ITALIAN BEEF! In ABQ worthy of being called an Italian Beef. Freakin Delish' Tully's was featured on KOB4 news story. I was intrigued after a news story of the owners, it's history, and that there's a market there also. I feel like the prices of the sandwiches are extremely reasonable. My wheat sub roll was buttered and generously layered with Italian beef spicy pepper mix mozzarella and I even tasted a hint of Parmesan. Great flavors and textures. I also got a tub of spumoni that I crushed after the sandwich Mmmm YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
