Tony's Beechhurst Deli — Restaurant in New York

The best deli in queens, hands down, no competition. From their sandwiches, and hot food, They're all winners. And the Polito family are the nicest most genuine family you'll ever meet. My husband and I have been coming here for over Ten years, They're always consistent, and they've always welcomed us like family. No matter who helps you, their dad, Tommy, Mario, or Angelo. They're all so nice. And I've never not left there cracking up. I've never not seen them happy.

Till today... Today our hearts were absolutely smashed to find out that Mario ( or as my husband likes to refer to him as "The sizzle") has passed away. We've been in tears since we've found out. When I tell you they treat you like family here, I mean it. We had a special bond with Mario. Especially for me... Let me tell you, for Ten years this man not only remembered my name, but also, that I'm Muslim from Pakistan, that I don't eat pork, that my husband is Italian. He congratulated us on our marriage, fed me thru two pregnancies, congratulated me once I had my babies, and if I went in without them asked "how are the girls?". He told us stories about how much trouble he got into when he was growing up haha. He told me about how he'd met his wife Tanya and glowed about Gianna, sharing stories about the funny things she did and how he almost broke down on her first day of school. In a very short amount of time, he made a place for himself in our hearts. IF THAT'S NOT THE MEANING OF FAMILY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. In ten years there was literally one time that we didn't see him. Today was the 2nd and my husband and I left with tears running down our faces because we're not going to see "the sizzle" again. He was a one of a kind guy and he will be dearly missed.

For the Polito family: We love you, we're here for whatever you...

repost from Yelp as I believe they deserve all the recognition given

Food: Got the chicken parm on a hero and Penne a la Vodka. The Penne here is to die for! The best taste and texture I have ever had even compared to very high end Italian restaurants. So fresh so delicious. I don't think I'll ever leave here without at least a small to go haha. The chicken parm was okay. This didn't have any wow factor. It's not bad but not spectacular either. The sauce could have been a little more rich. The bread was a little too moist from the sauce. Maybe because I asked for the sesame bread. While waiting for the food preparation I also got a sample of their iced cappuccino. For this also Wow. 100 times better than your typical Starbucks/Dunkin (mean no offense comparing franchises to this but I just don't have as much experience with cappuccino elsewhere). It was a perfect balance between coffee and milk/sweet. Neither overpowered the other while you can still enjoy both. I normally don't drink coffee but if I did then their Iced Cappuccino would definitely be another staple when coming here.

Service: The workers here are Amazing. They are super friendly with every single customer in the deli. It feels so nice seeing them chatting with everyone and knowing them by name. I told one that this is my first time here and asked for recommendations. He was so patient with me giving me recommendations with that beautiful smile. The best part is this is not just him. I see all their workers happily chatting like this is the perfect family restaurant where everyone including the customers are family. They also offer samples of their iced cappuccino...

We saw Tony’s on Youtube and tried it out for the first time today. The food was delicious, not overly salty, great flavors, tender meat, and fresh made. Everyone has already pointed out the amazing level of service, which I agree with. Aside from everything mentioned by everyone else, I was most pleasantly surprised to find an ice cap here, better than the one from Tim Hortons! Being from Canada, have missed my Tim Hortons’ ice caps dearly, but the ice caps at Tony’s were so great, in 90 plus degree weather, I had to go buy a bag of ice, return a second time today, fill it with Tony’s ice caps and return to Westchester to give to my coworkers. If you have had a Tim Horton’s ice cap, you will know that although sweet, they are delicious summer drinks but suffer from bad quality control and can differ vastly by franchise location. Not so at Tony’s. I could tell by the way these guys were babying the cappucino batches and checking their ice cap machine at least several times while I was there, that their quality will be spot on each and every sweet time. Thanks Tommy and all, for...
