M & P Biancamano

BEST MOZZ EVER! I love mozzarella and I try it at almost every deli I go to. Their sandwiches are huge and you definitely get your money’s worth. I’ve had their pasta and other hot sandwiches which are also very good. I want one right now. thanks guys.

There is one complaint I have heard from others about this place…“The sandwiches are TOO BIG!”.
That is the most awesome complaint you could hope for in the food business.
Anyway, this place is on my block. The mutz is award winning, with good reason.
All the sandwiches are high-​quality, but I tend to go with more tradition Italian specialties like mortadella, as a compliment to the mutz. If you don’t know what mortadella is, you should maybe re-​examine your life priorities.

Totally rediculous sandwiches at this joint! I have been eating sandwiches for here for years. These are not your typical deli sandwiches. I call them «lip splitters» for good reason, they are over stuffed with the best meats and cheeses on incredible Italian bread.
I can only speak to their sandwiches but I am sure the other deli items are on point as well.
Tip. Street parking only and hard to find
Tip. They cook their own roast beef. Usually ready around 1100. Goes fast so get in early.
Tip. If the have the hard Italian rolls left they are what takes the sandwich to the next level.
Tip. Just order a half. It is gynormous. The whole could feed a family.

Meats? More meats. Meats? More meats. Meats? Meats.
My most sincere apologies to Bova’s Bakery in Boston — your reign of «best Italian sub» ended the moment I took my first bite.
A good measure of any deli like this is how strong of an Italian they have — and believe me, it is AMAZING. For $ 9, I got a fully loaded Italian piled so high (with some of the tastiest Italian meats i’ve ever had) that the bread wouldn’t even close. It lasted me two lunches, though it was so good I’m surprised I didn’t kill the whole thing in one sitting.
And this was just ONE sandwich. I still need to try the roast beef, the mutz, the various parms… but I know they will be amazing, because this one sandwich… it’s hard to find the right words to accurately describe it’s greatness. I’m an Italian guy through and through, so I could come here every single day.
Even if you aren’t in the market for a sandwich, they have other Italian food, Italian sides, and a lot of Italian groceries to buy.
I was the only one in there (late lunch) and had time to stare at every single thing they sold and chat with the awesome owners (who spoke, of course, Italian) while I ate my food.
There are a lot of places to go in Hoboken for food like this, and many of them are fantastic — but M&P, at this moment, tops the list for me.
Go here. Eat sandwiches. Be Italian.

A friend was working in Hoboken & asked me to meet him for lunch. He wanted to go to M & P Biancamano, a Hoboken institution. 30 years ago he lived directly across the street and although he moved out in 96, he still considers this place to be like home. It’s really old school & every year they win the Best Mutz contest. Food is great, sandwiches are pricey but worth it. The sandwiches were around 10 each but they can feed a family of 4. My buddy’s sandwich was sopressata, mozzarella & peppers. He inhaled half. Me? I ate ¼ of my roast beef, ham & mozz and wrapped the rest. Ate another ¼ at home, shared some with the husband, and then the evil dog made off with the last of it.
Delicious! They haven’t sold out to the Boar’s Head mafia!

Could this be the best sandwich in town? No wait, in the city of Hoboken? Could I go as far to say It might be the best sandwich in the WORLD??? Abso-​MUTZ-​ely. They really put the time and love into making your sandwich. Just watch them do it and you’ll see.

Best sandwich and Been nominated for best mutz for 3 straight years can’t ever go wrong here they give you a good sandwich… it’s a must go spot

True story. I carried their meatballs on a plane all the way back to Los Angeles and they were still amazing.

The best mozzarella I’ve ever had or as they would like to call it «mutz» staff was helpful and friendly and the sandwiches are good also! Nice piece of history

Oh my goodness — what a fantastic deli! I have been living here for 3 years and always wanted to try a traditional Italian sandwich! The service was perfect, the meat and mozzarella fresher than any other deli I have ever been to. Don’t get me started on the bread — I could eat ten loaves! We got the C it was A++

Very busy during rush hours but well worth the wait. Cash only and good luck with parking, dont double park and lose your spot on line.

Stopped in for lunch to try this place out. I am glad I did ! The sandwich they made was delicious!!! The Mutz is to die for and the sandwich was huge and wide. Made to perfection.
Highly recommended to all for lunch and dinner. Hot foods are also available

This is probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten.
The mutz– OH EM GEE!!! It is literally THEE BEST!!!
I got the roast beef, turkey, mutz, roasted pepper, and onion and it was sooooo filling… Got the half, and you can literally split it with someone and still be full. I stuffed it down b/​c it was soo good. The couple working there (I’m guessing the owners) were super friendly.
It is a bit pricey but worth every penny. I paid $ 13 for my sandwich and a water.
Seating outside and inside.
MUST HAVE THE MUTZ HERE!
Cash only!

Want a real italian sub with real deli meat? Come to M& P Biancamano. I have come here a couple of times before but this time was a little different. My wife went into the store and ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella sub as we originally planned. Guess what? They run out of bread and mozzarella. No problem though, the prosciutto, the swiss cheese and the vast array of cured meat more than make up for the inconvenience. We just went to a bakery for bread, problem solved.
The prosciutto is heaven on earth and at this place, the quality is excellent. I will come back again and again. Great customer service as well, even when the mozzarella is all gone which just happens to be the best in hoboken.

Excellent. Very friendly folk. Food is awesome. Fresh mozzarella is what they’re known for but everything is good here.
Sandwiches are huge. Definitely a big bite so be prepared.

This is my new favorite lunch spot since moving uptown and took a job working from home most days. This is an old school place, simple as that. It’s deceptively spacious inside with seating inside and out. I teetered on 4 stars because they don’t take credit cards, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, I love it that much.
They don’t have a billion options but what they do have is outstanding. The mutz is divine. It is probably one of the only places in town that rivals Fiore’s mutz. It is quite literally mom and pop. The couple that runs it are the nicest people and always smile and say hi. That is why I love it.
The sandwiches are ginormous. When I saw that in other reviews, I thought pfft I can eat a whole one… Not happening. One half is enough for a meal. And each sandwich runs $ 8 – 10! One of the best values in town. When I have cash on hand, this is my only choice for lunch.
You absolutely will not be disappointed grabbing a hoagie here.

This review pertains to the ‘Hoboken Mozzarella Tour’ I took last week!
This is not an official tour – just something I decided to embark upon during my visit up North.
It is a comparison between 5 different Hoboken delis that make fresh mozzarella cheese.
Growing up in Hoboken I feel like I know a few things: Good pizza, good bagels, and the best mozzarella cheese on Planet Earth.
I admit I was, and am, biased. For the last 28 years I’ve gone primarily to Vito’s Deli. It’s always been my, and my mother’s, favorite.
This time around my boyfriend (who had never had any Hoboken mozzarella cheese before) and I decided it was time to put the cheese to the test.
I’m sure we missed a few places but we had limited time so we decided to try 5 of the highest rated, longest standing, and most renowned in town.
My boyfriend never had fresh mozzarella before, so he didn’t even recognize this as mozzarella cheese. Of course I told him, ‘this IS mozzarella cheese. Everything else you’ve had packaged to date is an imposter.‘
I think it’s important to know exactly what you’re tasting, so I recommend you taste the mozzarella in each location by itself PRIOR to/​INSTEAD of just ordering it in a sandwich. The taste by itself will really show you what the mozz is made of.
Here’s how the tour went and brief feedback for each location’s mozzarella. My feedback and ratings (above) are solely based on the caliber/​taste of mozzarella cheese, not the quality of everything else they sell or the service they provide.
They are ALL in comparison to Vito’s since that was my baseline. Vito’s is made fresh 4 times daily. After tasting some of the best choices in Hoboken, I’ve come to the conclusion there is simply no better fresh mozzarella cheese in town than Vito’s. Or anywhere in the world as far as I’m concerned. It’s still my favorite.
Stop 1: Vito’s: Buttery, soft, warm, wet, salty, and literally melts in your mouth
Stop 2: Biancamano: Great mozzarella taste overall, a little chewier than Vito’s, nice amount of salt and a little wet from the brine
Stop 3: Lisa’s: Great taste inside, but not salty with each bite on the outside. Also a bit chewier than Vito’s
Stop 4: Fiore’s: The saltiest of all 5 mozzarellas. Also was the coolest (temperature-​wise) and was slightly chewier than Lisa’s and Biancamano
5: Luca Brasi: Coldest (temperature-​wise) of them all, nice amount of salt, not too buttery however. Unfortunately I found the texture to be more like cottage cheese once you start chewing it.
*This exact review is posted across 4 different locations on my ‘Hoboken Mozzarella Tour.’

The sandwich is amazing!
I was so happy to find this place BUT
then i went today n saw the owner making my sandwich w bare hand no gloves… he just handled the cash n scratch his back n touched salami n lettuce w all bare hand!!!
YUK!!! I lost all my appetite… It’s sad ~~
This place was sooo good! Really wish these lucky old couple have awakening on hygiene
for their customers.

I stopped in here for a sandwich upon recommendation of a friend. Wow, just WOW. This place is amazing! I wish I could give it 6 stars!!!
Décor: It’s a legit Italian deli so there isn’t much room for anything but ordering and waiting. They do have a few tables inside and outside, however, so that is nice. Everything is clean and inviting and you can smell the freshness of ingredients.
Bathroom: I’m going to guess that they do not have one for customer use.
Staff: They man and woman working the counter, I’m assuming the owners?, are awesome. They are very friendly, eager to take your order (and make your food), and, at least for me, seemed to read my mind of exactly what I wanted. You can tell they care about their customers, it shows in everything they do.
Food/​Drink: I had a classic Italian sub w/​two bags of chips. The sub was incredible. I have never had anything like it. The meat was fresh, the mustard and vinegar really popped and the mutz… my god, THE MUTZ! There is definitely a reason they won Best in Hoboken. Honestly, I am not exaggerating, this place has changed my sandwich life.
Value: You get a sandwich that is ridiculously delicious, and HUGE!, and it’s just a couple bucks. I think my whole lunch was just over $ 10 and that is fantastic (because there was enough food for two meals, no joke). You get MORE than your money’s’ worth here.
This place is, hands down, the best sandwich shop in Hoboken and, without a doubt, the best sandwich shop I have every tried. I will always order from here from now on, there is no other place in my opinion.

Now I know why M & P Biancamano won the Hoboken Mutzfest last year!
I find it so much easier to come to Italian delis in Hoboken during the week after work. The parking seems to be better, got one right out front today.
This is strictly a take-​out place though there are a couple of tables out front. The sandwich WOW! It was so big I only ordered ½ and had some when I got home and the rest was dinner for me and the wife.
The sandwich was the Super C special on the recommendation of the woman behind the counter. It was a great call, I enjoyed it immensely. Trust me. all you need is ½. It was packed with ham, cappicola, prosciutto, pepperoni, and can’t forget their award winning fresh mutz topped off with lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, oil and vinegar. Total price for the sandwich, $ 8.75, such a deal!
Also, they have a small selection of salads and hot daily specials. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area.
Mangia Bene!
