OMG the chicken cordon bleu panini. I came here after reading rave reviews about this sandwich, and it truly delivered. Go eat one now.
This is a deli so don't expect fancy dining. There are a few tables toward the front, and a long butcher's block style community table toward the back. Sandwiches, paninis and wraps are all made to order and range from standard classics to more adventurous deluxe options.
Service is prompt and reviewers are right when they say don't dawdle in line. Only step up to the counter when you're ready to order or you may be run over by the commuter crowd racing to grab lunch before their train.
Location is another upside to this gem. Right in downtown Summit (which I recently discovered is a great shop-around, ladies day out type town) and right across from the train station and street parking.
Seriously though, go get that sandwich ASAP.
Let me lead by saying I hate sandwiches and especially when there's a million choices of them. But here, I had THE BEST PANINI I've ever had in my life.
I was at a business meeting and couldn't escape this place, looked around like a scared puppy at the hundreds of sandwich options. Grilled cheese, fried chicken, pesto sauce, marnira, wheat bread, roll, salads, and the list goes on and on….
At a moment of desperation with a long line forming behind me and a trickle of sweat starting to slide down my neck….I decided to just blurt out one of the many options I saw. "CORDON BLUE PANINI!"
For $8 and about 15 minutes of my life I was in prosciutto, mozzorella and sliced bread heaven. I don't care what sandwiches you've had in the past, you need to come here and have this one.
I didn't especially like the sandwich I ordered but i'm willing to concede that I may not have paid enough attention.It was called a paesano – basically a sopressata sub with fresh mozarella. The problem was it had hot peppers on .I like hot food but a tendency has developed in sandwich making where hot ingredients that don't work are thrown into the sandwich.One example of that is the use of chipotle mayo , which serves no function other than eliminating all other flavors.Here the hot peppers annihilated the other flavors.The ingredients were good and i think this place has potential.
Zappia's deli is now my go-to in Summit for a solid lunch/wrap. I've been there twice, and both times, their offerings were spot-on.
I've had the Chicken Caesar wrap, and my wife had the chicken cutlet with sweet peppers on a round roll. Both were really good: fresh and hot. The place itself has tables inside, so you can dine and relax. Chips galore.
It's a BIT pricey, but honestly, for the quality of a meal you get, it's well worth it.
Really friendly staff, great soup offerings, and they also offer breakfasts and a big coffee bar.
Almost passed by this place a couple of times without realizing it was there. Finally was able to find a spot and walked to this deli. Once inside I was surprised by how long it was and big (from the outside it looks tiny). Menu is extensive and everything looks good. Must say everything is on the pricey side. I had a Panini (breaded chicken cutlet). Finally tried one of their sandwiches after going here a few more times. Fresh, authentic Italian bread with Boars Head (the best) cold cuts. Fresh ingredients too. Very good deli with it's wannabe Italian old school charm. The only downside is if you get a hot sandwich or even cold ones infact, it does take time for them to make it. I did have their soup which was eh. Service is good and friendly. They cater and have pastries (nothing fancy) . A couple of tables outside which give you a nice people watching seat.
Back when I worked in the area this was my go to spot for take out lunch. Trolling my old neighborhood I had to stop in and was glad to see it's still as good as ever.
To best understand this place, you have to know the layout. When you walk in there are prepared sandwiches and salads for a quick to go. Head down the lane and you can start the row of cafeteria style cold and hot foods. You can make 'meals' or you can get individual sides. So for example I got a meal consisting of beef over mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables with an extra side of tomato and mozzarella. They are also a full blown deli in that you can buy fresh meats, cheeses, and sides by the pound. Now behind all the counters on the wall is a massive list of menu items they make to go. Like any good deli, you should feel completely overwhelmed with all the incredible choices.
Food is fresh, terrific variety, huge portions, and for what it is a great buy. This is real food people. A small tip, if you aren't sure what you want, just hang back and scope things out first. They have quite a regular following who order with stampede like efficiency. Don't want you to get run over if you should happen to stop and contemplate too long.
