fennel sausage, amazing. manchego & pecorino cheese, amazing. burrata, amazing. cured, dried sausage, amazing. True gem, reasonable prices.

Such an amazing local deli and shop. I love everything about this place. Delicious, fresh and genuine NY.

Best. Damn. Deli.
My go to butcher for years, great quality cuts of every protein desired and accepts cards! The house made cheeses, olives, sausages & peppers are amazing. Emily’s owners are extremely friendly and great NY sports fans as well (jets & mets newspaper clippings line the walls).

Picked up fennel sausages and spicy pork sausage+ dry pasta to make dinner ~ oh oh do not forget the freshly roasted red peppers. Yum Yum Yum … and my friend found his long-​lost Italian bottle iced tea. Life is good, after visiting this little shop.

Hands down the best pork store in NYC! The meats are outstanding, all the products are fresh and outrageously delicious. It’s getting harder and harder for us Italians to find authentic Italian products in this area, thankfully we have Jerry. Great foid, service and prices. We love, love, love this place!

First, the owner jerry is one of the nicest guy’s you’ll ever meet, for the best italian sausage and cheeses you must try this place it’s old school bklyn. anything you need for that italian dinner your gonna cook you’ll find it at emily’s owner jerry and his sidekick Vinny also make great sandwiches a true bklyn gem, keep up the good work !!!

Great Italian butcher and they have a ton products from Italy. Every day they have fresh bread. Home made mozzarella, peppers sweet hot. Worth visiting if you like Italian food

C’MON SON*
The spicy italian combo here (a bargain at $ 7.50) leaves an amazing tingle on the lips, making it easy to forget the seemingly infinite line encountered on a weekend midday visit here. The great bread is from Aliperti’s cousin at Napoli Bakery down Metropolitan. It’s mostly older locals, with a slow-​moving line and some sneaky regulars, trying to get to the front and pretending conversational welcomes to the staff are ways to game the queue, but that’s all part of the charm. The Boar’s Head sign was initially disheartening, but don’t worry…& yes, they take CCs, the locals just don’t use ‘em (it comes up as ALIPERTI PORK STORE on CC).
*YOU KNOW THAT’S RIGHT.
«Walk into Emily’s Pork Store in the historically Italian neighborhood of East Williamsburg, and you’re likely to find owner Gennaro „Jerry“ Aliperti playing butcher, sandwich composer, and jokester to customers and friends. Emily’s is a true locals’ place — Aliperti says about 85 percent of his business comes from regulars. This is a specialty store from another time, and it remains committed to old traditions and high standards. Aliperti’s uncle Frank opened the shop in 1974, naming it after his wife. When Aliperti began working here at age thirteen, his first job was stocking the wooden shelves with canned Italian products. He soon learned to make sausages and to butcher. This is still a neighborhood meeting place, and you’ll hear lightning-​fast Italian spoken as you scan a menu that has changed very little over 41 years. Here’s a helpful hint: Emily’s makes the best Italian sandwiches in Brooklyn. Choose one of two bread selections — both made by Aliperti’s cousin at Napoli Bakery just down the street on Metropolitan Avenue — from a center shelf and hand it to Aliperti. Regulars do this as soon as they enter the shop, and they always choose (correctly) the crusty French-​style baguette over the thicker sub-​style roll. Skip the rudimentary sandwich board and take a few minutes to peruse the specialty cheeses and meats. Once you’ve ogled the soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto cotto, and wine-​soaked umbriaco, get Aliperti’s seasoned opinion on what’s best and just go for it. Perhaps it’s the house-​made salami, ham, and provolone with fresh roasted sweet peppers, or the sliced rare roast beef, made fresh daily, with jus and marinated peppers. Or you might like some fresh roast pork and maybe a little bresaola (top round that has been salted and dried) with Jerry’s homemade mozzarella. Everything is sliced to order, and everything is priced far below the New York mean.»

Nicest guys ever, I had no idea what I wanted and they were super helpful and patient and didn’t treat me like I was annoying for not knowing anything. I will definitely be coming back!!!

Il mio nuovo negozio di maiale preferito e Emily’s! translation– Emily’s is awesome! Run, don’t walk there!
I’ve been looking for a good Italian pork store and have found it. Echoing all the excellent reviews, this place is the real thing. They guys are super nice and helpful. The products are fresh and a lot of stuff is made in house. There is also a decent selection of imported items. I bought scamorza (a mozzarella like cow’s milk cheese), homemade dry, sweet sausage, flank steak, ground sirloin (ground while I was there) and bracciola which was also made fresh while I waited.
I schlepped from the LES to BK so by the time I got home was really hungry. I sampled the dry sausage and scamorza as soon as I walked in the door. My husband asked what I was doing because he heard me making «mmmmmm» sounds interspersed with «oh my god, this is so good». I really love any type of dry/​cured meat and the sausage is delicious and seasoned perfectly. I hadn’t had scamorza in a long time and forgot how creamy it can be if done right. Check.
I followed up with the sub. I am devouring it as I write this review. The bread is soft yet chewy (in a very good way!), the meat, fresh, the peppers fragrant. I added some field greens because I had them in the fridge which gave a nice color to the sandwich and a dose of daily greens. I’m not really fooling anyone though since the sandwich is a carnivore’s dream.
I cannot wait to cook the meat. I’ve typically had bracciola as part of Sunday dinner, but it may have to be a weekday affair in my household. Vinnie told me to call ahead next time so I don’t have to wait for it to be made. Honestly, I don’t mind waiting. It gives me a chance to look around and see all the good things the store has to offer.
Mille grazie, Emily’s!

You can’t help but give these guys a 5 Star review. The sandwiches are amazing. Roasted pork is great, but Italian cold cuts is better.
If I can give a tip it would be to ask for smoked mozzarella instead of regular. Haven’t purchased any of their Italian grocery specialties yet, but there is a lot to offer.
Also, the Sweet Italian and Spicy Italian sausages are both amazing, seriously better than the Meat Hook, and half the price.

Emily’s is awesome! Guys are super nice and the sausages are made in house and amazing! Try the smoked cured mozz! Peppers smell so good when you walk in– roasted right there in house. Brooklyn strong good old Italian boys! This is one of few remaining classic New York Italian good stops, worth going out of your way for!

Awesome sandwich! Anytime I go to these meat shops I have the guys working just make me a special sandwich. This has hot soppresatte, capicolla, sharp provolone and some other fixins. Bomb. I’ll be back.

I like the Italian sandwiches and the dry sausages and the seafood salad. They’re perfectly balanced flavorwise

With lots of options in Brooklyn, I’ve always preferred Emily’s sausages for grilling or Sunday sauce. Actually, their focaccia is a nice, cheap addition to the table at a meal. Nice guys behind the counter. They also gave me some great ribeyes awhile back.

Great sausages, Impeccable steaks and pork chops.
A local favorite. Great service and courteous too.
They will take good care of you, and you will come back for more.
Great Prices.

Try a sopressata sandwich w/​fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, oil & vinegar. Unbeatable. I’ve tried other places in the hood. No comparison. Especially in the bread, Cheese,& roasted peppers.

This East Williamsburg gem boasts some of the best Italian specialty cuts in the area.
They have hand tied braciole for your Sunday Gravy, delicious sweet and hot sausages for the grill, beautiful house made antipastas, a wide variety of imported cheese and homemade burrata, and a good selection of Italian pastas and jarred sauces.
My favorite things about this place are the house hot roast pork sandwiches with their homemade roasted peppers, and that they got me in the habit of keeping a hot soppressata hanging in my kitchen at all times.

Graham Avenue Meats, Lorimer Market, Emily’s Pork Store, it’s so hard to choose — I wish that Los Angeles had a Italian deli half as good as any of the deli’s within a block radius of here.
On my last visit to the Pork Store, roasted red peppers where just exiting the oven, yumm.
Prosciutto, salami, cheese, Yum Yum Yum.

One of the reasons I like Williamsburg and miss the fact that my bf doesn’t live there anymore.
1) the store smells delicious — maybe that’s because I’m an Italian girl who was raised in a bakery in Bensonhurst or maybe because it just smells delicious
2) great selection of Italian ingredients and brands that you cannot find in your local grocery store, or even most supermarket chains for that matter. Big selection of cheeses. I could come into this store stuffed and walk out drooling.
3) fresh, delicious pork. My bf got a few cuts of meat from here and made pulled pork that was out of this world and a very big hit at a bbq
I would definitely take the trip out to Williamsburg to visit this pork store.
