Food Shoppe

Went to this corner market for the first time yesterday in search of a good deli sandwich. Found one! I got a Turkey club on havarti - it was toasted and all the ingredients fresh. The guy at the deli counter was super friendly. While I was there I picked up 2 pre-made dinners (portions were easily for 2) --- pumpkin risotto & pasta bolognese. Each were $13.95 - which seems reasonable to me. My sandwich was $7.99 - pretty cheap. My husband & I didn't feel like cooking last night, so the risotto was quickly employed & it was really tasty! Perfectly cooked. The fresh bread was nearly gone, so I didn't get to grab something for dinner but was super satisfied with my choice. The prices weren't high - they seemed perfectly on par with a corner market where convenience is a premium. My only bad experience was with the fantastically UN-friendly cashier who seemed to go out of her way to be unfriendly & boy was she good at it. Really sad that *that* is what greets you when u go in. I'll definitely be back and am hoping that maybe she was just having a bad day.

I think this little shop is super cute. They have everything from fresh produce to pre-made meals to go. Everything you need to get the essentials without having to go to a big supermarket. I really like that they have a deli with fresh sandwiches and a fresh pizza section as well. They also do grilling in the summer and you can get specials every day of the week, but that isn't going on right now because of covid-19. I do think their prices are a little higher but that is to be expected from a small grocery. I got the BLT from the deli and I didn't think the pricing was bad until I saw that they serve half sandwiches. I was a little confused by that. Nonetheless the sandwich was still surprisingly good. I think a lot of locals stop by here for little things so they don't have to drive far. I think it's cute both inside and out! But you'll be lucky to find a parking space on the road. You might have to drive around a while to get a good spot!

A fantastic little neighborhood deli with great sandwiches and a lot more. I love the number of options at Food Shoppe - from their awesome sandwiches to pizza to a wide variety or prepared and packaged foods. I usually get sandwiches - all of which feature high-quality ingredients (particularly in the meat and bread areas). My personal favorite is the Blazing Buffalo Crunchy sub - deli buffalo chicken with crispy onions, buffalo sauce and cheese on a nice crunchy roll. Here are my tips: - Things get kinda crazy around lunchtime. I like to go around 11:30 or wait until 1 pm. That being said, even when you go at primetime the wait is reasonable. - Their deli case has some great pre-made options if you don't want a sandwich. Crab cakes are my preference, but I haven't had a bad experience with anything else. - Don't expect to go here instead of the grocery store. While they have some butcher and produce items, its really a pantry supplement kind of place. - Consider their catering and pre-made family meals. They are fantastic!

I want to like this store, and I do. When I can actually get there.I'm always surprised that's it's described as a convenience store, because it's actually a store that's really only open when most people work. So, if you work nearby it's great. Ill bet the fire and police department love it. If you live nearby it's virtually useless. It's more of an inconvenience store, really.Still, they have decent bread products, tons of beverage choices, friendly employees and a nice deli. I'd wish they had better cheese but since I can only make it about once a year, it doesn't matter that much.Oh look, i just walked here for rye bread Surprise! They're closed. Vacation. Good for them, but new definition for me: A store that's closed when I need it.4-5 stars for the store itself. -3 for crappy hours, but +1 because I'm secretly also happy (grumpily happy?) for the owners and employees that they can make this work for them.

Why are people not worshipping this place!?! Where is the Review of the Day (ROTD) for Food Shoppe? PIttsburgh Yelpers, this place is flipping amazing, and someone needs to get the word out about the Food Shoppe.So if you've been reading my reviews, you know that my love of New York City and living in Astoria runs pretty deep. Living in Pittsburgh makes me miss the food of Astoria greatly. So imagine my delight when I found the Food Shoppe. This is the closest thing to that type of neighborhood deli/ butcher you'll find in Pittsburgh. The Food Shoppe is on my walk home, and we're going to have a beautiful relationship. It's been cut short with the cold winter, but I will be back daily now that it is warm!Deli: Boar's Heads meats and cheeses at the same to slightly lower prices than the grocery stores. However, they guys behind the counter can actually make recommendations, unlike the grocery store.Create Your Own Sandwich: Maybe the best part of this place. You can create your own sandwich ($4.59) on fresh white, wheat, or rye bread with Boar's head meat and cheese. At no additional cost, you can add lettuce, tomato, mayo, and/or mustard as well. If you want extra meat, cheese, or a baguette it's only $1 more! They have an amazing selection of meats and cheeses to chose from, which only makes it better. I made a Buffalo chicken breast with chipotle gouda, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on rye the other day, and it was amazing. Just trust me, and go get one!Hot Meals: There are different daily specials of grinders, sandwiches, etc. Plus, in the summer, they have an entire grill menu. Pretty cool!Pizza Slices ($2): This is what truly warmed my heart over. For whatever reason, all of the delis near me in NYC had secret pizza ovens in the back of the store, and people would fight to get some amazing pizza out of the oven. While this pizza isn't hidden in the back, I was super excited nonetheless! What is better than a fresh slice of pizza? And they'll throw it back in the oven for you to heat it up. It's not the greatest pizza, but it's decent.Cold Prepared Foods: Lots of cold "salads" to choose from (i.e. Ham Salad, Chicken Salad, etc.). They are sold by the pound so make sure to think about what you order. I got a delicious pasta salad with tortellini, but tortellini is heavy. A single scoop was $3 and not quite worth it. However, the ham salad was $5.99/pound and quite delicious!Take Home Prepared Meals: There is a refrigerator with pre-made salads, pasta dinners, and other choices toward the front of the store as well.Convenience Store: So there is all of this food, but you can also stop here for all of your basic necessities. Laundry detergent, snacks, sodas, and basic household needs are all here!All of this and friendly employees too? You bet! There is a minimum purchase of $5 to use a credit card, but that seems reasonable to me.Ok, Yelpers! Don't let me down. UFC this review up, go visit the store, and send some love to the Food Shoppe!

So underrated here. Sandwiches are outstanding. Grocery selection is good for a small family place and prices are reasonable. Little secret... the Baked Italian Hoagie is the best in the East End. Sorry Spak Bros. You make a good sandwich too though

This place is clearly a local's secret. I walked to the Food Shoppe for the first time today for lunch and I was delighted with the selection and the prices. I wanted a sandwich at the deli counter - got a tuna salad sandwich on wheat with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. The sandwich was $4.67 - what?! It was certainly not enormous, but it was a substantial sandwich for the price. I also got a small side of greek pasta salad - delicious. As I was checking out, I discovered the prepared food section and picked up a spinach, cranberry, walnut and cheese salad for later. All this for less than $15. I was wowed with the selection at a tiny neighborhood deli and butcher shop that also sells convenience store and grocery items! You can tell that everything is very fresh, good quality, and an excellent price point (for the deli and prepared food items).I'll be going back again to try the barbeque next time. They grill outside on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the summer. Looking forward to going back!

You always come home to the basics, y'know that? After being out of town for two weeks, it was sure good to come back to Ruggeri's and sink my teeth into one of their fabulous grinders. That and I bought a pint of their amazing soup to take home. Well their grinders are too big for me to consume in one sitting, so I cut mine in half and saved it for lunch today. M-m-m-m-m!

I am a usual customer at the Food Shoppe. I swear by this place. Easily my favorite place for my friends and I to grab a quick bite to eat. I will never stop going there. Love the staff as well.

The sandwiches are so good! I come every morning to get coffee and they are always so kind. Whenever I need something last minute, I can count on them to have it!
