FAQs
What's the deal? Hoagies, subs or heroes?
Our customers are pretty educated about what they like. Because they originate from three different regions, we're faced with a semi-serious dilemma. If you're from New Jersey (pronounced Joy-zee), you want a sub. If you're from Philly you want a hoagie. And if you're from New York (pronounced New Yawk), you want a hero. So what should Mario's put on our menu without insulting any customers from their various regions? We're thinking about having a customer vote to help solve this dilemma. Watch in the coming days for details.

Who are the new owners of Mario's Italian Market?
Mark and Virginia Zanone have lots of experience in the culinary world as owners of Dune18, a successful and well respected restaurant in Beach Haven. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a meal at Dune18 will testify Mark and Virginia know what they are doing when it comes to quality food and service. When Mario's Deli came on the market last year, they jumped at the chance to bring back the quality and popularity of the original Mario's made famous by it's founder and dear friend Mario Aversa, who sadly passed away in (2019??).
Where is your daily, fresh baked from?
We receive a daily order from a highly praised bakery in New York which allows us to offer the "baked daily fresh" classification. We don't believe in serving any bread that isn't fresh because as true sandwich and hoagie buffs know, it's the bread that makes or breaks the overall quality of your order. See our bakery page for a listing of the types of bread we offer.
