Zio’s Italian Deli

Zio’s Italian Deli

Tucked away on Albany Post Road in Croton-on-Hudson sits a charming family-owned gem that’s been winning hearts (and stomachs) one sandwich at a time. Zio’s Italian Deli is a family owned Italian deli that carries Boars Head products and a variety of imported salami and cheeses, making it the kind of place where the smell of fresh-sliced meats and aged cheeses greets you the moment you walk through the door. Open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, it’s perfectly positioned to fuel your day whether you’re grabbing breakfast on the go or settling in for a proper lunch.

What really sets Zio’s apart is their commitment to making sandwiches that are both generous and memorable. Their “First Born” (roast beef and cheddar cheese) is huge and tasty, and they don’t skimp on the fillings. The owner’s philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: “a nice local deli that everybody knows about and they know they can get quality products, quality service and reasonable prices.” It’s the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars become family, and first-time visitors quickly understand why locals keep coming back for more than just the food – they come for that authentic Italian deli experience that feels increasingly rare in today’s fast-food world.
