This place is legendary and lives up to it. The sandwiches were great and service was amazing. Despite it being almost closing time they took care of us like we were family.

Fire a** sandwich for real. Maybe could have had a tad bit less vinegar and more basil, but overall a bombshell. So good. I would ten thousand percent go back to this place and get another sandwich but probably try a warm instead of a cold. The employees here are so kind and know the menu like the back of their hand. Cute little shop that also sells cookies and fresh baguettes! Very cozy in this bakery, love the atmosphere We also bought a baguette, not pictured, but we plan on using it to dip in an olive oil sauce.

This is my longtime favorite Italian bakery and I haven't been since we moved to Texas 7 years ago. I'm so glad it's still here! All the stuffed loaves are all unbelievably delicious. My favorite is the sausage bread but olives is a close second. The sandwiches are amazing bc of the bread and fresh mozzarella. It's a take out place so find a nice bench in the Newark Avenue pedestrian mall to eat and people watch.

Old school cash only Italian deli 1 block from Second Street. They similarly offer cheap 9 inch subs with homemade ingredients, as well as bread baked in house. I got the chicken parm sub ($9) and a small Italian baguette ($2). The sub was very good, but the chicken could use a little more moisture and flavor, and the bread was tough

Had the munchies and stopped by Pecoraro Antique Bakery. Although the name is fancy, it's not fancy at all. It looks like a run-of-the-mill corner deli, with freshly baked bread and cookies on the shelves, cookies by the box from $5 -$14+, a fridge with sodas and various beverages, a coffee machine, and a deli fridge with fresh veggies and cold cuts for the sandwiches. They have a breakfast and lunch menu that offers fresh-cut sandwiches with all the trimmings. Premade sandwiches range between $6 - $7 and freshly made cold or hot sandwiches cost between $8 - $10. We got the prosciutto hero for $9, which she prepared right in front of us, which was hefty with meat and big enough to feed 2. And everything tasted good. My only complaint was that the bread on both sandwiches was a bit chewy. So, not sure how fresh they were. One good bonus is that all the basic add-ons like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions are free, they dont nickel and dime you. Premium toppings like sun-dried tomatoes and peppers only bump you up $1 more. The service was good, we were served by a nice Hispanic lady. This bakery only accepts cash. But they have an ATM on site so you don't have to take a walk. If you're hungry and looking for a good quality sandwich at a reasonable price on Grove St, go to Pecoraro!

the pepperoni bread is the greatest thing on earth! i love this place and am sad i moved away but i stop in everytime i pass jersey city.

I am biased because I like this place. Jersey City is so weird. A place like this should have a ton of reviews. I know it's very unassuming and Reddit prefers 2nd Street Bakery, but there is just something charming about this place. Like a pit bull in a pink fluffy dress. I can't explain it. But go in with the intention of spending $10 cash. Grab three focaccia, an eggplant bread, and mozzarella and spinach bread. Grab your bag (say "Thank you" you savage) and be confused when you get change back. Or go to Keyfoods and spend ya whole check on some thin mints.

Finally visited best sandwiches in jersey city! I said it! Thank you for staying around and providing the people with great food and bread!

I go here a lot. I have loved the bread and food from day 1. I have tasted almost everything and still come running back. My wife loves it as well. I always make sure I have some cash on hand if I'm close by to it. They only take cash. Go and get a sandwich you'll be amazed
