What a great experience! From the time I walked in till I left - pleasant, hard working staff, Mamas in the kitchen rolling meatballs, lots of my fave Italian goodies, homemade and handmade delicious foods! Boars Head meats and cheeses. What else could ya want?
Arrived to a busy staff filling orders and yet they had time to look up and greet me immediately! How lovely. Then another member quickly took my order. Two subs. One hot, one cold. Even with all the hubbub and multiple customers, I was in and out very quickly. Staff always friendly, accommodating and courteous. Definitely recommend Pellegrino Imports of Malta.
Its a little out of the way but so so worth finding. Possibly the best Italian mix sandwich on the planet. They have amazing italian food to go. I would recommend everyone go check it out. Your welcome 😊
Great subs and import items. I honestly didnt realize this was here, had I know I would have been a customer long before. I got an Italian mix which was delicious. I am now a weekly customer. I highly recommend stopping here.
Pretty sure the chickens Parm was microwaved and the flavor was marginal maybe 1 step up from a chain sandwich shop
Fantastic subs, fresh Boarshead deli meats cut while you wait. Delicious cannolis too! Kevin the owner and the entire staff are friendly and courteous. Great experience.
Our go-to for subs and salads. Food is always fresh, very generous portions, and courteous service. I’d post some photos but the family already woofed it all down!Also a very nice selection of pastas and other Italian goodies (sweet & savory).
Pellegrino’s has amazing sandwiches and an amazing selection of imported delicatessen items. The soft serve ice cream is great, and just hits the spot. If you’re looking for the best sandwich in the area then you found it.
This place claims to be authentic Italian, but it’s DEFINITELY not! They just buy some items that make them seem Italian. They don’t even know what sundried tomatoes are. I asked for balsamic glaze on chicken cutlet with mozzarella. I got balsamic vinegar on a sloppy expensive 6 inch. When I asked about why there was no balsamic glaze, they said what’s that? I know there are next to no options in the area, but I’d rather pass on this place. Gave them 2 starts because they have some Italian items/cold cuts but just not worth going.Girl behind the counter has a funky attitude because I said, “you don’t know what sundried tomatoes are? I thought this was an Italian deli.” I didn’t say it with attitude, just said it with shock. Don’t claim to be something you’re not and lose the attitude. At least the gentleman behind the counter was nice and said he was Irish, so that’s why he didn’t know. I laughed, he smiled and I ordered something different. But his kindness just wasn’t enough to overcome the horrible sandwhich.
Unpleasant guy at the cash register. Small portions of the hot food (especially for the price) as noted in other reviews. The regular cold sandwiches were ok but the bread was dry and tasteless, that is totally unacceptable for a place that claims genuine Italian food. This place is no Cardonas of Albany which routinely uses excellent crusty bread and has much more reasonable prices. Pellegrino is also not as good as Romas in Latham and Saratoga (which also has grouchy staff at times) but better bread for their sandwiches. With Cardonas buying Romas we can hope they bring their quality to Romas. That means Pellegrino really needs to up their game and reconsider their insane prices.
I love this place! Their food always tastes great and super fresh! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I love their frozen items I can buy and cook at home for later like ~lobster ravioli~ ! I also love their subs for lunch. They do also serve hot meals and even have an ice cream stand outside in the summer months. Their outside area is peaceful and very pleasant, highly recommended!
Pellegrino is the only place we will go to for cold cuts. They are always fresh, and sliced perfectly. The subs are fantastic. I recently purchased their marinara and meatballs for an easy dinner, to have a good dinner on a busy night. I am beyond impressed, with both the sauce and meatballs being perfection! Highly recommend!
Great place to grab a sandwich, or quick lunch to go in the winter. In the summer, they have outside seating and ice cream service!The sandwiches here are larger than they advertise, and they will make it anyway you like with great fresh ingredients. I have also had the owners put together all the fixings for a full blown dinner that I finish cooking at home. Wonderful home made Italian food for less than half of a restaurants price! I have never been disappointed here.
Would of loved to try them, however there advertised as local delivery available and I manage a facility a block away. when I called the girl told me they only deliver to business and if the order is big enough! So I said well I’m right down the street and it is a business but it was just a personal order. As a manager of a company in Malta I would expect more as a neighboring business. Can’t say I will recommend.
Great subs, great staff and service, ice cream counter, Great variety of Italian foods, can buy tartufo and stracchiatella, cookies not that tasty (rainbow cookie acceptable), extra charge for credit card.
I had the meatball sub. The meatballs were very tasty on their own. Just amazing. Juicy and flavor packed. The first bite wakes up your taste senses that were sleeping before. The sub includes amazing tomato sauce, also made on site. I tried it with the melted mozzarella cheese, and it was very good. Next time, I will get it with just the meatballs and tomato sauce to really focus on those flavors (like enjoying really great coffee without adding sugar or milk, to focus on the coffee).I also tried the daily soup. It was also very good and had the spicy sausage, onions, pasta, and spices (it went too fast to really look in there).Just a note, when it gets warm again, there is nice seating outside underneath tall pine trees. Being so close to Adirondack park and its clean air, its nice to be outside.
Amazing meat/subs and potato salad, Im sure everything else is great I just havent tried it yet. Everyone there is super nice too
Absolutely wonderful deli with the BEST Italian mix and wonderful friendly staff. I recommend pellegrino to everyone in the area! They also have an outdoor seating area with an ice cream window and a little playground in the back. Thank you for running such a great shop!
Having ordered ahead of time. Get their orders and not done having to wait another 15 to 30 minutes not good otherwise their subs are very good
This is by far my favorite place to grab lunch in the Malta area. As good as the catered food looks, I cant speak to it because Im addicted to their subs! It seems to be a small, family run spot that gets you in and out quickly with a smile. They suggest calling ahead for hot food orders.
Best subs in the Clifton Park/ Malta area hands down.
Stopped at my sons when visiting in round lake and decided to get subs for dinner. Download their PDF menu so we could figure out what we wanted.Everybody ordered something different and when I called it in - they asked for a persons name to write on each sub so we did not have to open each one to see who was whos. Subs were incredible. After talking to one of the guys there he said their meatball sub is their best and insisted I tried a meatball and sauce before I left. No meatballs were hot so he brought me out an Italian sausage on a plate with sauce . . . . The Best!I normally make my own meatballs and sauce and reluctant to try others but this was Yummy😋😋😋!!
Great food, and very nice employees! If you want a sub, or any type of Italian dish, this is a place to visit. They also do catering, and large dish take outs too! This will definitely be my go to place for parties from here on out. 😁
Ive tried both their turkey sub and their chicken parm sub and they were both delicious! I loved the sub rolls.
Always pleasant. Great variety. The best lunch sandwiches and dinners to go! The Tortellini Salad is the best side dish I have had!The Owners are friendly and make everything fresh daily.
Great food. The staff seems to really care about there customers. They are very attentive.
Very delicious, super tasty.
Amazing food and great service! I stop by a couple times a week and love it. It reminds me if going to the deli in my hometown and getting a great sandwich! Keep up the great work
Amazing selection of deli cuts. The sandwiches are very filling and made with very flavorful bread, its one of the best parts! All around great Italian style deli with terrific selection of meats, cheeses, and various other deli selections.
Today was the worst sandwich I ever had . Couldnt even finish it. Asked for no lettuce and mine as well have asked for extra . They dont clean the boards after each sandwich so you are eating whatever the person before you had. Roll was stale meat was dry mayo had no taste. Just horrible...... Ive had sandwiches from here in the past and it seems each time you return the worst they get.
I always love eating here. Its clean and the staff are friendly. The have homemade frozen pastas to go. Every time Im here I stop in. I got a meatball sub to die for.
Great sandwhich! Cant believe I have never been here before. The service and food was quick and delicious. I also like that you can get homemade italian meals to go and reheat at home.
Good sub, pricier lunch option for the area but gourmet subs and friendly staff with a large selection of sides/dishes etc
Pellegrinos is ballin. Basically everything is made in house, and made super well. They also have candies you cant normally find in the US. Looking for a Flake or a real Kinderegg? Pellegrinos.
Delightful owners and very down to earth. Great prices, Excellent quality Boars Head meats and cheeses. Def worth the stop. Tbh, only deli in the area worth its salt anymore. RIP delucias.
Friendly and efficient staff. They serve the only Italian food that my friends Italian mother will eat. Great deli as well. Make sure to grab a tartufo for dessert.
Friday July 13 before attending the Dave Matthews concert I order a 6” sausage sandwich for pickup. Carmella I’m told is an owner and handled my order. I asked fir the sandwich to be made as described on there menu. I picked my sandwich up took it to the concert to have as my dinner and it was dry as a bone no sauce at all on thick bread. I was so disappointed as I rarely eat sandwiches. On Monday I confronted “Carmella” and she told me the owner wasn’t there and looked at me with a smile apologizing not offering to compensate me at all which us what I was aiming for ! After all in customer service my self , I strive to have my clients always be satisfied. Plenty of sandwich makers in the area. I left my name and # and pellegrinos if you don not contact t me about this matter wich I’m obviously pissued about you lose a customer. ☹️
Cold cuts are stale and completely dried out after a day because they wrap them in wax paper. Wax paper has stains all over where the grease soaked through. Too bad because the food is good. Only worth going though if youre going to eat it right away. If you need cold cuts for the week you might as well put your money through a paper shredder. If a deli cant even figure out how to wrap cold cuts so they dont go stale then why even go there.
Love this place. They have great food and are very friendly. The food is every reasonably priced. If you are a pastrami lover you have to get their pastrami sandwich it is amazing.
Great food. Great location. Very clean. Reasonably priced.Quick and easy parking. Very friendly staff. Subs are outstanding. If you go anywhere else, youll be settling for less.
For the first time I ordered food for Christmas dinner. We had meatballs, chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta with broccoli, oven roasted potatoes and salad. Everything was amazing! Not only was the food great, but we were given a cell phone number to call if we had any questions. On Christmas Day! Who does that? I will be a frequent customer from now on.
Best subs in the area! Ive tried the turkey, italian mix & meatball sandwiches. Each time theyve been great.
We ordered a cheesecake for my daughters Birthday. The best cheesecake Ive ever had! The cannoli are delicious too!
Nothing special here. Average food at best. Overpriced as well.
Best roast beef subs...without question! Any many other subs
Everyone is pleasant, helpful and the food is delicious. Its also very clean.
Great food, super nice people. I love all the sandwiches that I have gotten here.

This place is wonderful! Good is delicious and the owner is awesome!
Place is good and clean. Nice selection of cold cuts, sandwiches,salads among other things, no inside seating, sometimes gets too crowded around lunch on weekdays
Excellent food! They will also customize if you need and can provide other food options for catering that is not listed on the menu.
Good subs, great soups. Call your lunch orders in and allow extra time or expect a long wait.
Food is pretty good here and whatnot. I would rate 5 stars, but this place is always closed whenever Im hungry.

Best roast beef sub in the capital district and a very friendly and helpful staff.
Delicious subs !
My tuna sub was great. My husband thought the roast beef was mushy.
Have to place order 45 mins in advance.
If you are a conservative that likes stale bread then this place is good for you. The other location is far better.
Excellent! Boars Head cold cuts and NYC frozen pastas.
Amazing selection of meats and sandwiches. Very tasty!!

Great subs, service, salads and more! No, Im not a paid spokesman.
The subs where delicious, however the customer service is horrible! Especially from the gentleman in his 40s wearing his hat backwards.
Great food. Subs are to die for.
This place booted out the local family that had a shop for over 40 years. Not even close in quality and friendliness. Can we bring the Littles back?
Always a positive experience here! A bit of a wait sometimes, but worth it.
Best subs in the upstate area
Subs was good. Stowe is under stock not much to choose from

2022-03-29Generous servings and high quality ingredients. The cold subs are excellent. The 6 inch is technically about 10 inches! The bread they use is awesome. Very fresh, and you can taste it. The owner of my company treated us the other day to lunch and he said this place was awesome. He was correct. I would eat here again in a heartbeat. Kind of meh places in Malta, this isnt one of them. A bit busy at lunch but if you go a few minutes early not too bad, and definitely worth the wait! They have amazing cookies and snacks inside as well!

2021-07-02Like being on arthur avenue. Great Italian sub. Kids ate the meatball (always a miracle). More baked goods and candy than I was expecting, made in house. Also have pastosa ravioli, that stuff is great if you have never tried it. Ice cream shop up front too. A lot in a little shop. Great service.

2022-06-11Sandwichs are excellent, people making them are very nice. The older gentleman at the register (owner?) Needs to chill, he gets annoyed easily. However dont let this stop you from ordering from here.
Review №4
2022-04-30Friendly staff ( especially Kevin and Steve at the counter), perfect subs using Boars Head products and their own sub rolls, and massive salads (Greek, antipasto, Cesare, Pelleginos, etc.). I think their dressings are all homemade. They have a decent selection of imports and cookies, and even a freezer dedicated to gluten free pasta mains. Call ahead and place your order during the busy lunch hour(12-1:30pm) and you wont have much of a wait to pick up and pay. Also check them out for your catering needs - their lemon chicken is fantastic!
Review №5
2022-03-04I had to try this spot 3 times before I gave my opinion, and Im confident this is the best deli in Saratoga county. A real old school Italian joint, loads their subs up with plenty of meat, and the prices are very good for what you get. They earned my repeat business 100%

2022-02-02Upstate NY is known for many things, but one to be ashamed of is a lack of delis.Pellegrinos has been fighting that upstate reputation by providing an amazing Italian deli experience. They get a good deal of imported products on top of all boars head meats and cheeses. The quality of bread is quite good as well. Their hot sandwiches are pretty great, and its the go to deli from Troy to Saratoga.

2021-09-17Food is consistently exceptional, never disappoints. Great customer service. #1 sub & deli shop.
Review №8
2020-05-23The food from Pellegrinos is absolutely delicious. Today we ordered a 12 inch Italian Mix Sub, 6 inch Chicken Parm Sub, two drinks and a bag of chips for $25. Everything was so fresh. The customer should outstanding and they get your food ready in a timely manner. Great job Pellegrion Imports of Malta!
