D'Onza's Old World Deli

Had the Brooklyn bridge grinder and the Italian pasta salad.... the sandwich was solid. The taste was good not a fan of the bread, and could use a lil less green peppers. But overall a good sandwich. The pasta salad was ok needs more seasoning for my taste. The girl who helped me was excellent being that it was my first time as a patron. She walked me thru the menu and was very knowledgeable. I’ll definitely b returning to try the fried chicken.

My wife and I split a new york style hit dog and a meatball sub, and they were both amazing! The meatball sub was the best I've had. Then we came back and I had the prosciutto sandwich, it was also very good. They load it up with prosciutto. Definitely my favorite Deli around.

⭐⭐ D’Onza’s Old World Deli — A Culinary Plot Twist I Wasn’t Ready For Let me begin with the star of the entire establishment:The man at the counter deserves a standing ovation, a raise, and possibly his own holiday.His customer service was so good it almost distracted me from what happened next. Almost. 🍝 Spaghetti & Meatballs Before ordering, I asked a very important question:“Is this kid spaghetti and meatballs or adult spaghetti and meatballs?”Because there is a massive difference. Kid spaghetti is sweet, simple, and innocent. Adult spaghetti should have depth, seasoning, and a sense of purpose. He confidently told me it was adult spaghetti. Well… the portion size was adult, but the flavor was absolutely kid spaghetti.The meatballs were ginormous, but the taste was giving: “I’m a toddler and I only eat red sauce if it tastes like ketchup.” The noodles were sitting in water like they were on a spa retreat, and when I bit into the meatball, there were ice chips. Actual ice. In a meatball. I didn’t know my dinner came with a built‑in snow day. He reheated it and added more noodles and meatballs, which was kind…but the flavor stayed stuck in elementary school. 🍕 Pizza The pizza tasted exactly like something you’d get at a cheap, slightly sticky arcade, where the games barely work and the carpet has seen things it can never unsee. 🍰 Cheesecake He promised it was amazing.My taste buds said, “This cheesecake has been through a lot emotionally.” 🥐 Cannoli Looked cute. Tasted like a pastry that clocked out early. 🍗 The Famous Chicken They brag about this one.It arrived hot enough to scorch our tongues, yet somehow had the flavor profile of warm air. No seasoning. No personality. Just vibes. 🧄 Garlic Cheese Bread This was the best‑tasting item we had… until I noticed fingerprints pressed into the cheese like someone was checking its heartbeat. 🍋 The Winner The bottled lemonade.Not made by them.Not touched by them.Not cooked by them.Coincidence? I don’t think so. Final Thoughts I’m not saying don’t go. They clearly have loyal customers, a wide menu, and a staff member who deserves a trophy. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes.Maybe the food tastes better if you’re tipsy.Maybe the kitchen was having an off day.Maybe the seasoning took the day off and never came back. But for me, the food was shockingly bland, under‑seasoned, and in some cases, poorly prepared. If you have high blood pressure, this might actually be your new safe haven, because there is no seasoning anywhere — not even on the pizza. The saddest part is that the service was phenomenal. I genuinely didn’t have the heart to tell him the food tasted like a culinary dare. I hope the kitchen levels up, because he deserves a menu that matches his energy Ps for the record, I take amazing photos. Yes, it looks better than it tasted. I do want you to keep in mind. The service was great. This is a Delhi like on many grocery store. As well, I don't want you not to go. Try for yourself. You might like it just because I didn't. Don't mean you won't either.
