Lil nick's deli

Quite possibility the best Italian Hoagie I have ever had. Im not a regular, I dont get down to south Philly much but this was well worth the trip. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The spot was clean and sharp. The meat, bread, were both top notch. Ill be back and tell all my friends.. This is the way a Hoagie should be. Oh and make sure to stop in next store. The perfect small market.

my delivery route brought me around the corner, so i took my break & popped in to try Lil Nick's for the first time... got my usual, roast pork w rabe & sharp prov.... the small at $11 was honestly spectacular. slightly crispy very fresh bun, roast pork was juicy but not drowning the bun at all...... 9.5/10 bc i should've asked about a seeded bun and that's on me. I will be returning. Pics for proof. like damn.

I stopped by Lil Nick's Deli in South Philadelphia and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a classic neighborhood sandwich shop. The place is small and no-frills, mostly takeout, but the focus here is clearly on making really good hoagies. I ordered an Italian hoagie and it was fantastic—stacked with fresh deli meats, sharp provolone, and crisp toppings on a sturdy seeded roll. The bread held everything together perfectly and every bite had that classic Philly hoagie flavor. This deli is especially known for its high-quality hoagies and cutlet sandwiches that locals rave about. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, giving the place that authentic neighborhood vibe. Overall, Lil Nick's Deli is a great stop if you want a real South Philly hoagie made with fresh ingredients and

Lil Nick's felt like how a deli should probably feel like in Philadelphia. Sports radio going in the back and a little back and forth banter. The gentleman working the register was easy going and it felt pretty laid back inside. Parking and the roads were a bit of a nightmare in this area so I'd walk in or park a mile away in a more parking friendly neighborhood which is what I did. I ordered The Big Nick Cutlet and it was a solid hoagie. The ratio of ingredients was excellent and the bread was so so so so  soft. It was honestly all I could think about initially, like wow this is some amazing bread. The cutlet was seasoned well and cooked perfectly while the extra sharp provolone added a nice bite to it. I would've maybe liked a tad more peppers and for them to be a bit sweeter but other

A modest South Philly gem where we sought refuge after long lines elsewhere, which made us feel like we had discovered some secret foodie cheat code to save an hour and a half and also have more special and tasty experience (no shade to the sandwich joints we bypassed). So many goodies at both Lil and Big Nicks, I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Everyone who worked there was incredibly friendly, adding to the charm. But most importantly, the chicken cutlet sandwich (we got the South Philly Cutlet add roasted reds + hot honey) was so good that we ate it in almost complete silence with short interruptions of “omg” and “yum” - can’t wait to come back to try more.
