Though the shop might be a little hard to find if you don’t know where to look — the sign out front blew away in a storm — Star readers remembered Narducci’s Deli in this year’s contest.
The deli has been serving locals since 1984, and in that time, said Angie Naducci — daughter of owner Tony Narducci — the family-owned and operated deli has been supported by a group of regular customers she said she’s proud to call friends.
“We have a lot of regulars. Some of them we see every day,” she said. “You end up knowing so much about each other. You know their personal lives, and they know yours.”
While the deli offers sandwiches and hoagies, Narducci said that the most popular items in the shop are the pizza bagels and pizza pretzels that they make fresh.
“That’s what we sell the most of,” she said.
When the family learned they were selected to win the award thanks to readers’ votes, Narducci said she was flattered and thanked the community.
“Everyone here is so nice,” she said with a grin.
Narducci’s Deli can be contacted at 215–634–1177, and found on Facebook by searching for “Narducci’s/Tony’s.”
