Donald Trump may look like CHEETOS
And pies may taste much better with FRITOS
Michaels may be more talented than TITOS
But there's no sandwich better than VITO'S
The best way may still be CARLITO'S
Ecuador may have a few QUITO'S
That serial killer may have cut off your THREE TOES
But there's no sandwich better than VITO'S
The US may still misuse U.N. VETO'S
And the least Mexican chip may be DORITO'S
I may suck more men than MOSQUITOS
But there's no sandwich better than VITO'S
Me and my brother may well still BE BRO'S
Girls may love our thick TORPEDOES
Almost as big as our inflated EGOS
But there's no sandwich better than VITO'S
FUGGEDABOUTIT.
Owned by Vito Corleone, Vito's is one of the top 5 Italian delis in the United States. It's also one of the top 5 in Hoboken. That sounds weird, but it's a testament to how good the delis are here. Vito's is one of my faves, and makes a truly delicious, tasty sandwich.
The guys that work here are real Italian Jersey guys. They're also really cool. The sandwiches are just off-the-charts spectacular. You cannot get better than a Vito's sandwich. There may be others in town that are just as good because this is the town of delis as I said. And this may be a little pricey. But Vito's is just perfect. I am absolutely in love with the sandwich and you will be too - once you try it.
Another really great thing about Vito's is that they will put all kinds of delicious veggies and dressing on your sandwich which some other delis don't do. The fresh mozzarella as amazing as you would expect in Hoboken. You simply must try Vito's.
And hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number (it's a Jersey number)
So Corleone me maybe?
So let me tell you, there's a secret. The best Italian delis in the world are not in New York City. They are not in your hometown of whateversville, Missouri. They are not in Italy or France (although there's some damn good sh** over there). Forget Long Island. Sorry Chicago. Nope. The best Italian delis in the world are in Hoboken and Jersey City. Yes, it's true. Don't ask me why, they just are.
There are 5 spots in Ho-broken, all vying for the title of the world's best Italian Deli, I can't decide which of the 5 is best, and people I've taken to them have differing opinions. Although one thing we all agree on is: if the other 4 didn't exist, then the one remaining would be the best in the world. That's how good these 5 are.
Fran's, Andrea Salumeria, M & P Biancamano, Vito's, and Fiore. I've been going between the 5 as my fave for the longest time, but if I had a gun to my head and I had to pick one: I'd pick all 5. And so should you.
The selling point of all 5 (and all good delis in this area) is that they have Fresh Mozzarella. I mean fresh, fresh. It's literally fresh, like, still gooey, warm, squidy, just made, and absolute heaven. Their imported meats are the best of the best. Their breads and seasonings, incomparable. You can't get any better than these sandwiches. Come and try for yourself. They have ruined all Italian delis everywhere for me, forever. For a traditional Italian sandwich, nothing will ever compare to Hoboken.
So Vitout further ado, let me sign off this review with Peter Gabriel's hit song about Vito's.

September '17
Hoboken weather fine
It was lunchtime as usual
In area code 201
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Mutzarella, Mutzarella
The sandwich is dead
The sandwich is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream of bread
The outside world is all Mutz white
With roasted red pepper red
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Mutzarella, Mutzarella
The sandwich is dead
The sandwich is dead
You can gobble down a half sub
But you can't eat an entire
Once the mutz begins to digest
The appetite will expire
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Oh Vito's, Vito's, because Vito's
Mutzarella, Mutzarella
The sandwich is dead
The sandwich is dead
And the eyes of Yelp are watching now
And the mouths of Yelp are salivating now
