The best Mozzarella you'll ever have...

So back when I was working at my old job, I received several recommendations from a good co-worker of mine. Unfortunately, the majority of the recommendations were located in New Jersey. Not really having the transportation or the knowledge of how to get around out there, I was pretty reluctant to take him up on these New Jersey suggestions. After much time and consideration I decided it was time for me to broaden my horizons and venture over to this new and uncharted territory and pay a visit to Fiore's in Hoboken, NJ

So what made you finally decide to go?
There were several reasons, but 3 main ones.

1 - the way my coworker RAVED about this roast beef sandwich that they make on Thursdays and Saturdays...there was no way I wasn't going to experience it for myself

2 - someone finally came along (with a car) who was willing to take the trip with me

3 - THEY MAKE THEIR OWN MOZZARELLA...if that's not reason enough I really don't know what is.

Make their own mozzarella huh? You couldn't find a local place that does that? Did you really have to go out of town for deli food?
I'm almost 100% positive that I could have found a place that was much closer to home. However, the majority of my food decisions are based on what I've seen and what I've heard and since I didn't see or hear about anything closer to home I didn't bother doing any research. Word around the town was that Fiore's was the place to go so that's where I had to go so that's where my quest took me. So to answer your question...Yes I did.

OK. So what exactly is this Fiore's place?
Simply put...an Italian deli in Hoboken, New Jersey that specializes in making their signature mozzarella cheese (either fresh or smoked). Of course there are other items on the menu but if you're going to go there...YOU WANT TO GET THE MOZZARELLA.

What did you get when you first went and how did you like it?
The roast beef special was what I heard about so that's what I was there for. Thin slices of rare roast beef piled high on Italian bread with the mozzarella and topped off with hot gravy! I REPEAT...TOPPED OFF WITH HOT GRAVY! I'm going to go on record and say that hands down, this is probably THE BEST roast beef sandwich I have ever had. You have your hot roast beef sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches with all types of dips and Au Ju sauces, but that Fiore's roast beef sandwich is how a roast beef sandwich was meant to be prepared. In addition to that sandwich I also picked up some peppers stuffed with provolone and prosciutto which were DELICIOUS! also.

Is the roast beef sandwich the only sandwich you've had from there?
It's not. They make an excellent Italian combo! So far the roast beef, turkey and cheese, and Italian combo are the only sandwiches I've had. As much as I would love to run through the rest of the items on the menu I just can't bring myself to order anything outside the roast beef.

Cool...anything else that I need to know about this place?
Umm...
1 - it is a deli and there are other sandwiches other then the ones I've mentioned. I believe everyday there is a different special and I'm sure they are equally as good as the roast beef special
2 - for what you get the price is VERY reasonable. For one sandwich you're looking to spend anywhere from $11-$13 bucks. Keep in mind that the sandwich will be almost as long as your arm and thicker then your fist
3 - you don't have to buy everything in a sandwich. Again it is a deli so you can go in and buy a pound of roast beef, a quarter pound of mozzarella, etc. Get your ingredients and make the sandwich how you want when you get home
4 - probably the most important (at least to me) is that the service is stellar! It doesn't matter who you get behind the counter, they are all courteous, friendly, and very generous with the samples :)
