Losurdo’s Italian Bakery & Deli

We just moved around the corner, and dropped by on our way to pick up our Zipcar. What an amazing surprise! The spicy sopresatta sandwich with mozzarella was mind-​blowing.
Everything here was delicious, and the guys behind the counter are super sweet and helpful. Love it!

Came to Losurdos for lunch sandwiches on Labor Day Saturday. The place is a charming and relaxed Italian deli on a relatively sleepy block (Adams and 2^nd). You walk up to the counter and see a large menu of sandwiches — none had funny names — just types of Italian meat, types of cheese and then some toppings. You can also order a sandwich that’s not on the menu — what we you want. I ordered a chicken cutlet on a hero with hot peppers, mozzarella, oil and vinegar on a hero, a chicken cutlet with cheddar and mayo on a chicken cutlet and a hot soppresata, mozzarella, roasted red pepper and balsamic on a hero. The bread was excellent — soft with a slight crunch. The best sandwich was the soppresata — the meat was spicy and tender and the mozzarella fresh with the slightly sweet roast peppers. They didn’t oberstuff he sandwiches either — which I greatly prefer to the Jewish deli meat stack. The chicken cutlets were good but I prefer fried chicken to be slightly fried version at Losurdos… even though I’m pretty sure Losurdos makes quality cutlets. I can’t wait to go back and try something else — they didn’t have pizza out when I went but would love to try. They also have a pretty impressive little market of Italian foods. As the other reviewers said — you will find people speaking Italian — old ladies to the guys behind the counter — adding to the authenticity.

Some of the best sandwiches in Hoboken!
A hidden neighborhood gem where you’ll find old women talking to the guys behind the counter in fluent italian and sharing family stories.
Come here for the sandwiches (I recommend the turkey/​mutz or soprasatta/​Sharp provolone) and the fresh sweet/​hot sausage for a family dinner.
You’ll quickly feel like a hoboken local :)

Called and asked, do you sell Italian cookies? You know the title states «bakery“‘ person answering said yes. I get over there and no showcase of Italian cookies to be found. Yes, cookies were there but packaged like I could buy in ShopRite.
What a waste of time and not to mention the parking situation sucks there.

My husband and I were doing our morning stroll in Hoboken but south instead of typically walking north of where we live. We espied this old Italian deli with the same birthdate as me: 1975, family owned and run since. As it is a bakery and foccaceria, we ordered the foccacia. Oh my: as soon as we walked home I bit into a piece (while fresh) and was amazed at the complexity and perfection of flavors and textures. The bottom crust was crispy and had just the right amount of high quality and flavorful olive oil, meanwhile the middle and top progressively tasted more fluffy and light. The top had fresh tomato that was ever so lightly baked, olives, and a dash of light oregano and other mild Italian seasoning to blend and not overwhelm the other flavors of the well salted bread, fresh tomato, and olive oil. The flavors would intermeld and linger in such a way and anchored with the crust infused olive oil as to be extremely satisfying and I had to restrain myself from eating half the pie right then and there (I had just eaten breakfast, I was not even hungry).
The deli was simple with beautiful huge aging provologne hanging and large enough that if it fell on you it may break a bone or two: massive. Everything appeared fresh and homemade. There was a very large supply of deli products including a large section of imported Italian coffee.
When we walked in, it was like entering a time capsule: I wonder how much it had changed since the 80’s or 90’s, and that to its benefit, staying authentic and original in a town that has undergone enormous population and business expansion in the past ten years, thereby helping Hoboken to maintain part of its older italian identity, charm, and treasure.

My favorite place for mutz in Hoboken. I could come here every Sunday and get a sandwich. The guys are fantastic to chat with. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you better get on the ball!

The bottom line, Danny is THE man. In baking all their own bread (i.e Hoboken Bread, NOT insulting Subway crap they refer to as «bread»), it makes their sandwiches hands down, the best in this land of Hoboken. And in a town where people take their sandwiches personally, it’s saying more than you even know. They are true sandwich craftsmen. The ultimate masters in sandwichology.
Beyond the homemade roast beef or the euphoric eggplant parm hero, the pizza is a MUST. The Sicilian is beyond words, and both the Sicilian and the traditional slice served have the crispiest, tastiest crust of any slice going. I’d go now if it weren’t Monday. NOTE: never leave without a biscotti or some other baked cookie delight they’ve got in the case as a tasty treat for later, and to remind you of the damn awesome sandwich you had earlier. Forgetaboutit.

Italian Style Portions! (No Skimping Here!)
Losurdo’s Italian Bakery & Deli («Tony’s»), is a Hoboken MUST. The staff goes over and beyond to be accommodating and helpful. Immediately upon entry you are met with that at home, relaxed, no judgment atmosphere. Even if you walk in not knowing what you want, Losurdo’s has tons of daily specials, varieties, and several diet options. Whether you want a hot or cold dish, soup, pastries, or Italian candies, Losurdo’s has it all!

My new lunch spot! I’ve been in Hoboken for over a decade and amidst the sea of Italian delis, this place took me by surprise. First noticeable difference, friendly service! Next and maybe most important, awesomely amazing bread!!! They’re also a bakery, ergo the bread being fantastic. Daily lunch specials go quickly so call ahead and get the rundown. (There’s also a gourmet Italian specialty market.)
My favorites (so far): Eggplant Parmigiana, one of the best in town. Prosciutto/​mutz/​roasted peppers — this prosciutto melts in your mouth! Pizza — Sicilian, regular, french bread — in that order. Sliced wheat Italian bread — there’s a loaf in my freezer right now! Cookies; but then who doesn’t love cookies? You’ll love these more! I’ve been told they have the best tuna salad and shrimp parmigiana as well (by one of the pickiest people I know).
If you’re looking for something new, you owe it to yourself to give this a try. I’ll be forever grateful for a friend’s suggestion and now I’ve paid it forward!
So much to try, so few notches on this belt!

Very good prosciutto, mozzarella and rosted red peppers sandwich! Ingredients wre fresh, tasty and portions were generous. Very friendly personnel.

Excellent Italian Market. Always interesting selections. Great ricotta, cheeses, breads, pizza. Great pastas in the fridge. Always can find my Annelleti pasta!

A healthy Italian Deli in Hoboken? Who knew?
I have been a fan of their mozzarella since I went to the Hoboken Mutzfest in January. I finally had a chance to go back today after my initial visit about three weeks ago was thwarted by their being closed on Mondays.
They have whole wheat and gluten free options which I like and don’t normally see in Italian Delis.
I ordered two sandwiches. My standard prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and balsamic vinegar. The other sandwich was roasted turkey and Swiss cheese with lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar.
Even though I was looking forward to my sandwich I let it marinate for a couple of hours so the bread got nice and spongy. The place smells awesome when you walk in, with baked bread and pastries. I also had to bring home some of their delicious fresh mozzarella.
The prices are pretty standard, about 8 dollars a sandwich. I have had larger, but, THIS IS THE BEST MUTZ I HAVE HAD. (So far) :).

The deli sandwiches here are amazing. $ 7 for a huge sub chock full of big hunks of mozzarella and Italian meats. Can’t wait to come back here and try a few of the other sandwiches.

Hoboken’s Italian bakeries are dwindling in numbers with each passing year. Luckily, the Losurdo brothers continue Tony’s Italian Bakery’s tradition of baking fresh bread daily. Plain or sourdough, all kinds of shapes and sizes. Walking in the bakery you’ll almost always hear Italian being spoken by one of the guys or old-​time customers.
Losurdo sandwiches are always packed with lots deli meats. Not as much as Carnegie Deli 1-​pounders, but still more than enough. They stock both imported and domestic meats, my favorite being a hot Calabrese salami which I’d order by the ½ pound sliced, and then sliced again down the middle or it’d be too big for crackers. It is simply the hottest, spiciest salami I’ve found in the Six Boroughs (haha). They also have a good assortment of pickled items, imported Italian pasta, cookies and goods, cheeses and fresh mozzarella.
A friendly staple of the neighborhood where I’m sure many folks stop by daily even just to say Ciao.

Our first visit earlier today, while in Jersey City. Travelled through HOBOKEN for some good Italian bread… Excellent fresh ricotta bought for our Cavatelli. The Parmesan Reggiano cheese was awesome! Looking foward to another visit! Gonna make some ricotta pancakes with the rest of the ricotta that was not used for dinner.

Excellent all-​around bakery and deli. Fresh mozzarella is excellent. Barese sausage is very good. Their breads are fantastic. If they have pizza out, get a slice. Their eggplant parm is excellent. The prices are great and the staff is friendly. They also have pastas, tomatoes and other Italian ingredients for sale, really everything you need to make a great meal. Love this place.

Very tasty parmesan sandwich with eggplant. Yes, you read right. I ordered an eggplant parmesan sandwich and there was so much cheese (and very little eggplant), I was so disappointment. The little eggplant I had was delicious though.
