Bread is key to any sandwich. This place has got it! Told too many people and they told too many people. The secret's out.

Ordered for pick-up on a Friday at around 6:30 when I had a craving for a chicken parm sammie. I didn't want to order from a pizzeria because most of the time, the chicken parm is fine, but the bread is not good, which can make or break the sandwich. Then I saw I had Wallington Deli bookmarked and saw they had what I wanted. I got the chicken parm with vodka sauce and hubby had the meatball parm with vodka sauce. The chicken parm was really good because the bread was excellent. It was a ciabatta bread but it was fresh ciabatta bread, even at the end of the day. It's the kind that's soft on the inside, but crunchy on the outside, yet doesn't scratch up the roof of your mouth. There was also a good amount of chicken and cheese in there. The meatball parm wasn't bad but probably not something I'd order again - just because I would prefer the chicken or to try a different sandwich. But, I think we may have found our new go to for chicken parm sammies!

This spot is an "if you know you know" Jersey legend. Wallington Deli is renowned for its house-baked bread and freshly made mozzarella. When I say fresh, I mean so fresh that the gentleman pulling the mozzarella to finish it pulled a sheet right in front of me for my sandwich, still hot and melted. This remains the only place where I've seen the mozz on my sandwich being made. I got the chicken parm cutlet. The bread was perfectly crusty and held up to the sauce well. The chicken cutlet was perfectly fried and crispy. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I did feel like the sauce could have benefited from a touch more salt, but overall, the most magical experience a person can get in Wallington. I'll certainly be back!

This places is a sleeper. What a phenomenal sandwich. Who knew, I had a 5/5, a 10/10 right on my door step. I've tried all the sandwiches around here, some better than others, but this one is the best. This is the best Italian sandwich around, I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches. The bread is fresh baked, the cold cuts are succulent and the lettuce is crisp, right amount of vinegar. This is an old school good Italian combo. I'm elated

What a great sandwich, messy in the best of ways, vodka sauce was super creamy, cutlet was nicely seasoned and super juicy, and the bread was fresh, soft, and held up to the mess of the sandwich. The mutz is some of the best I have had in the area, creating that great pull you want when biting into the sandwich, I will be back

I have been here several times in the past couple of months. I have had several chicken sandwiches, however, my favorite sandwich by far is the cheesesteak on garlic bread. The sandwich is next level. So I walked in and saw a pizza oven and thought they made pizza too. Turns out I was wrong, they use the pizza oven to make their own bread. So ALL sandwiches in this place are made on their own, Homemade bread.this is a huge part of the reason the sandwiches are all so delicious. Any chicken sandwich you get is amazing. Also, when you walk in this place is very simple. A deli counter, a soda case, and one rack with Vickie's chips. Do not let this fool you. These people are banging out these sandwiches all day that are seriously impressive! It's definitely one of the top sandwiches in Bergen County. It's a must try!

Wow wow wow, what took me so long to come here?!?!?!? We ordered the cheesesteak, roast beef with mutz and gravy and the chicken cutlet with fresh mutz. Only problem was, they mixed up the order for the chicken cutlet with a ham sandwich instead (#5 instead of the #15). Honest mistake and when I called to inform them, they were sincerely apologetic and even offered to make the chicken cutlet sandwich right now for me to pick up, which I happily declined, giving us a reason to go back and order that sandwich on my next visit!

This is my third time coming here, and I've said before in my Google review but I'll say it again! Truly a local blessing! I used to go to Matera's on Park Ave (in Rutherford) but I've since moved and was looking for a sandwich shop that would actually satiate my cravings, and UGHHH KEEEPS HITTING!!!! I got the ham, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, with oil and vinegar and uggh!! So good! Their bread is also high quality -- crisp and crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside!
