Cut Above Deli — Restaurant in Newtown Township

Had high expectations because of great reviews, but they were, sadly, not met. First, was expecting to sit down & eat there; nope, no seating, take-out only. Watched one of the (very nice & friendly) guys slice the meat for my Classic Italian hoagie; plenty of it, so far so good. Got home & unwrapped it, and discovered a sesame-seed roll -- not expected, never before seen a hoagie on a seeded roll, no mention of it, not appropriate for a hoagie. The roll was fresh, but too bready & impossible to get my reasonably large mouth around; Liscio's rolls WAY better. Next disappointment: lots of meat, but sliced onion-skin-thin & wadded into a solid mass -- and very stringy & hard to chew. Tried to take it apart, hoping to be able to salvage, but meat so wadded up that I gave up -- & discovered practically no cheese, & I mean 1-2 very thin slices, couldn't taste it at all. Very disappointing, particularly given that it cost 14 bucks.

I'm a Philly native of 70+ years, have eaten hundreds of hoagies at dozens of shops, & this doesn't make my "go back for another" list. Sorry, I really wanted...

Literally the best hoagie I’ve ever had.

Tucked away in a little shopping strip with a pretty faded sign, it might be easy to miss, but you should turn around and pick up a Cut Above Italian hoagie.

My fiancé and I got the regular size, thinking it would be about a foot long, and imagine my surprise when we saw it’s about the size of my forearm.

I had mayo and extra oil added to mine, and I think it really helped bring all of the flavors together. My fiancé reported that his was a little dry as he got it as is, but absolutely delicious nonetheless.

Everything just goes together so perfectly with this hoagie. The bread is fresh but not dry, the meats complement each other well, and the olive oil and mayo??!! Out of this world.

My fiancé randomly picked Cut Above as a reason to go on a little drive, and we can’t be any happier we found this place. Such a hidden gem.

We’ll be showing any out of state-ers this place as an example of an authentic...

Unbelievably expensive but also extremely delicious. This is the closest I could find to a true Italian deli in the area. All of the antipasto and sandwiches are extremely delicious. They have classics like long-hot peppers, prosciutto and cheese stuffed greens, and herbed cream-cheese stuffed reds. Such a huge selection of amazing and original sandwiches! If you’re feeling hungry the largest size come on a full baguette roll! With two small sandwiches and just a couple small containers of antipasto the order was well over $50. If you’re craving a real good sandwich or specific item I highly recommend it, if you’re stocking up for a party or as a grocery option I’d consider elsewhere unless you’re really willing to spend the penny. Flavor in antipasto was not out of this world but still extremely good. Ask for extra oil in the antipasto containers or ask them to size a container up so your food doesn’t go bad prematurely.
