Frank and Joe’s Deli of Pleasantville

I’ve experienced nothing but kindness from the staff here. The people who work here seem so genuinely sweet. One of the guys has heard me talk about how much I love their turkey/​mozzarella and often gives me little pieces for free when I’m in there just because.
The food is always fresh and delicious. I come here for deli meats, groceries, and occasionally stop by for lunch on the weekends. There is definitely a family-​friendly feel in here. They also catered a graduation party I attended and the food was FANTASTIC

Went in at 5:45 for a sandwich and they wouldn’t make it stating they were closing and already cleaned the slicers. I told them they should write that they close at 5:30. Bad customer service since I had to hurry to make closing time.

I’ll give 3 stars… but this could easily be 2 — sorry. I really, really wanted to love this place. So much so that I tried 2 days in a row. But its just eh… clearly they are trying, clearly the food is fresh but…
1^st day: Chicken milanese on a wedge… bread is OK… i’ve had much better arthur ave. bread. this ones a bit too doughy. and the chicken was bland. even after I added hot peppers, still not flavorful enough… and a big pet peeve. if i got stuff off the hot plate… i’d like it hot… not mildly luke warm. sorry guys
2^nd day: chicken parm on a wedge… most of the same complaints, doughy, bland, and barely warm.
Will try again but…3^rd time could be my last time…
Really hate to give a negative review; especially for a small local place and one that seems to have a crowd. Hoping I was just there on off days…

I have always experienced great customer service from the owners and employees. The sandwiches not only look good but taste good too. They have excellent hot food and they make the best party heroes and platters.

Great Food! The most amazing eggplant (which they make everyday). Their hot food is awesome and their sandwiches are great. They make breakfast as well. Pleasantville ’ s best deli by far.

food is good —quite often seem to be disorganized —even when one orders ahead seem to wait

Pretty tasty baked eggplant wrap, stuffed with roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and shredded lettuce.
Nice little deli with a decent selection of wraps, sandwiches, hot and cold foods. Good enough to come back!

Very, very good deli. Great prepared dishes (and I’m Italian, so I’m picky about food) and good wedges, if a bit overpriced.

Just a spot on, top notch, old school Italian deli. Professional and friendly staff. Fresh made turkey, roast beef and pork are excellent. Hot food great too. Just a solid place to have in town.

Great lunch. They’re fresh salads and meats are excellent. Eggs sandwiches are good too.

While I am a frequent and happy customer of this establishment, I have to review my recent order. Having a family party I ordered 3 trays. Potato croquettes, finger sandwiches, and guacamole platter. The first two were great but the guacamole platter was exceptional. Everyone at my party raved and enjoyed it. Thanks to all the friendly workers and to Robert and Mal for always taking such great care.

The people who work here are super friendly! They definitely make Pleasantville feel like a community. They are also sympathetic to the plight of those without commuter parking passes and happily make change, even for small purchases. Thanks, guys!

Had a moving away party yesterday and my family decided to have Frank and Joes cater the party. We ordered both hot and cold food platters and trays to serve our guests. Not only did Frank and Joes promptly deliver the food to our home, the food was AMAZING. The cold sandwich platters were delicious and the hot trays of food were cooked to perfection! All of my guests had seconds! (some even had thirds!)
My guests raved about the food all day and they all left my house happy and very very full! The saddest part about me moving away is that I won’t get to eat Frank and Joes as often as I want! I am hoping my mom works a deal to send sandwiches and trays to my new apartment in MA on a weekly basis so I don’t get too depressed without them! Thanks so much to all the guys at Frank and Joes for helping make my goodbye party a great day!

The guys here very really cool and friendly. The Italian selection of items.
I can’t quite rate this fairly as we only tried 1 item. The salads and the prepared foods looked delicious!
I was looking for a ‘best chicken parm’ place for my bf and this came up. The problem with the sandwich is it had hardly any sauce on it and the sauce was actually good. But the sandwich was too dry. There was some mozz but not enough. The cutlet itself was pretty good too. The hero was huge and the bread very thick with (too many) sesame seeds on top, next time no seeds. We both thought it was average. If it weren’t so dry — if there was A LOT more sauce and more cheese this could have very well been excellent!

This is what a local deli is all about! Freshly prepared food like you wished mama made. I used to live in Pleasantville and have been coming here for 10 years. I moved to Ossining but will still drive to Pleasantville for a chicken parm hero at f an j’s. Their sandwiches are spot on for an italian deli. But they take it to a whole other level with the hot food. But for years now, I can’t order much besides the chicken parm. It’s that good.
The clincher for me is that they give you a great portion for a great price. Now when you are getting great food, what else can you ask for. I have nightmares that Mal and Rob would sell this place and portions would downsize and prices will all go up by a buck or two. Let them have their sunshiney deli… I’m part of a F and J cult and will never stray as long as they keep feeding me this perfect mix of kool-​aid.

This is by far the best deli in Westchester. I go here for every meal that I can. The breakfast sandwiches are great, but I love their lunch. You can choose from hot food and a deli selection including half wraps if your not super hungry. They also have a great meat counter with fresh sausage, steaks, chicken and other produce, dried and frozen pastas and sauces.
I have also ordered from Frank and Joes catering menu and all my guests have raved. My husband thinks it’s the best chicken francaise that he’s ever had, but I love the salads and large sandwiches.
You absolutely can’t go wrong going to Frank and Joes!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! Have been coming to Frank and Joe’s now for close to a decade, since 2004… I ONLY get their hot food, that is not to say their sandwiches aren’t good, but their wide array of delicious hot foods are to die for! Every Wednesday they have the best meat lasagna in the world! My mouth is watering just thinking about it– get there early as by ½pm mostly everything is gone, and trust me they make A LOT!
UPDATE: 12:52pm ⁵⁄₃₀
I couldn’t wait until tomorrow when Unilocal gives the option to write an update. I am devouring the meat lasagna write now as I type! It tastes as good as it did when my taste buds first were acquainted to it nearly a decade ago, if anything it tastes better if that’s at all even possible! Frank and Joe’s has elevated the bar for what a deli SHOULD be, their staff is cordial, down-​to-​earth, and charismatic. They bond exceptionally well with their customers. They are always very generous in their amounts and side bread; truly the most bang for your buck in the lower and greater Westchester County area for sure!
When it comes to fine authentic Italian ingredients and recipe there is only so much that could be put into words; some things need to be tried/​experienced first hand to really understand how delicious it truly is, life-​changing! BRAVO!

excellent authentic Italian and other deli sandwiches. Good fresh salads.
The meatloaf is the most heavenly food.. .ask for extra gravy and mashed potatoes. But all the hot lunch food is pretty delicious.
I usually get chicken cutlet sandwich with Russian dressing, onions and lettuce. Also good vegetarian option is is sun dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegar on sandwich roll.
Good to try is fresh salsa, guacamole and homemade chips.
I’d give it 5 stars if Mal always made my sandwiches. The other guys make wimpier sandwiches.
Good selection of drinks and Italian groceries as well. Pricey but worth it.

Frank and Joes. Great sandwhiches and breakfast. The real deal is the bread, fresh sausage and pasta and the specialties like homemade guacamole, antipasta etc. We make our own tomato sauce from 20 cases of plum tomatos every year, so after you go through all that work you don’t want to put just any sausage, chicken cutlets or pasta in there. They have the best fresh sausage, pasta in the area… I moved from Brooklyn so I was worried! But this place is really great.
When you go into the store there is always a bunch of people on line but you never have to wait. So it’s the best of both worlds high volume… so you know the food is fresh, and they’ve got ten guys behind the counter keeping the place spotless and making sure you are in and out in a few minutes or less.
Plus the guys are always friendly. You can tell they care about what they are doing.

As far as I’m concerned, when you’re in Pleasantville and want a good Italian deli, Frank & Joe’s is THE place to go. Great people, lots of amazing food, always a good choice.
They make me a chicken cutlet on a wedge with fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar — heaven. Half for lunch and half for dinner. Worth every penny.
Tons of great food and all reasonable prices. Check them out when you’re in the area.
