Absolutely no place better in Jersey for Italian specialties than this. It’s hard to put into words how consistently this place delivers—everything you try somehow tops the last. The mozzarella, lobster tails (sfogliatella filled with the best cannoli cream), cannolis, eggplant—hands down the best around. If you want authentic, this is where you go.
The bread, the espresso, the cookies…everything is outstanding, especially the pistachio latte! This family-owned spot is truly a one-stop heaven for Italian groceries, deli items, and bakery treats. Plenty of places do one thing well—this place does everything well, which is what makes it so special. An absolute must.

Old school Italian bakery/deli. Smells and tastes amazing even from the parking lot. Choose between deli subs, hot food specials, prepared pizza/stromboli/rolls/etc. and bakery goods. It’s all v good or better. Don’t forget the delicious samples!

Delis are to North Jersey what Abbott is to Costello. Every town has them—some old, some new. The Italian deli might be the greatest culinary show on this planet—a wonderland of sights, sounds, and especially smells.
Located in a highly industrial area of South Hackensack, and right off of Route 80 is a brick oven bakery called Clemente producing a huge selection of bread, including homemade pizza, focaccia Barese, “sausage bread,” zeppole, taralli, biscuits, and friselle Clementini (they’re a big wholesaler). The shop also has a ton of prepared food servicing the many office and blue-collar workers in the area; it’s an excellent place to have a sandwich made for one.
Upon entering as regulars to this local favorite establishment, my partner and I decided on Chicken Cutlet with fresh mozzarella cheese and roasted peppers on a toasted wheat wrap as well as Chicken Salad on a sun-dried tomato wrap for indoor dining.
They are not cheap, but one gets what one pays for in terms of taste, freshness, and authenticity. The portions were a healthy size for another meal.
We always walk out with a smile and a satisfied stomach.

Wonderful italian deli clean and well lit, great selection of anything Italian you want to eat Small meatball hero. The meatball was meaty and flavorful with a nice sauce that complemented it, it could have used a little more sauce. Just the right amount of mootz. The roll was fresh, but a little disappointing. Crust was a thin didn’t have a lot of flavor.

Outstanding Italian deli! Molto buono!
The words homemade, family, and delightful come to mind when I think of Clemente Bakery. It is more than a deli because they have hot food, pastries, groceries, different types of breads including focaccia, and specialty dishes. They also do catering and special bread orders. This is a nice deli with plenty of tables to dine in and enjoy your favorite Italian treats.
This is a family-owned business in which you can see the entire family working together. The rest of the staff has been working there for many years. I lived in the area years ago and this was my favorite stop every day. Now I must to stop there every time I visit New Jersey. Prices are very reasonable, so I laugh when I see people complaining about “high prices.” They would have a hard time ordering a sandwich in Miami, which usually starts at $10.95 for a regular panini. I miss Clemente’s.
The ladies at the counter are friendly and knowledgeable. In my experience, they can also be fun. It is nice to see a family so united (althought I can’t imagine working with my parents or relatives all day long). It probably isn’t easy. Nor is it easy to keep up with such a big and elaborated business, but these ladies are there everyday from very early in the morning to make sure all the delicious food is well prepared and all the merchandise is in order. Clemente’s is a big store with counters of food and a small market. It is a one-stop place where you can get everything you need – from a hot lunch, to all the ingredients you need to make an authentic Italian home cooked meal. The ladies can give you recommendations on almost everything because they are very proud of their products. They also make amazing cappuccinos.
The bread and focaccia are delightful and very authentic to the Puglia region of Italy, specifically Bari. They offer an extensive selection of delicious oven-baked Barese breads and foccacias. Pizzas are made from scratch. Taralli and pastries are also very good especially when they make seasonal treats like zeppoles. Pastas and other hot dishes including risotto, veal, chicken, and beef, change daily, and Fridays they usually prepare seafood. They also include one of their delicious bread rolls with almost every dish. In the deli section, they have the guys making delicious subs. One of my favorites is the Clemente special with ham, salami, pepperoni and fresh mozzarella in a crunchy hero. You can add some delicious roasted peppers and sundries tomatoes for an extra charge. Did I mention that they make fresh mozzarella daily. It is to die for.
They also do catering, which I have ordered in numerous times and it has always been well prepared and on time.
I personally love the fact that almost everyone speaks Italian. It gives it that extra “je ne sais quoi” to this lovely establishment.
It can be hard to find this bakery because it is in an industrial area, but if you are in Bergen County and love Italian food you should do yourself a favor and put it on your GPS. It is a must try! It gets VERY busy during lunch hours so once you get to know the menu it is better to call ahead and make your order by phone to pick up later that way you avoid some waiting in line.

We ordered 6 heroes to go and found 2 were incorrect when we arrived home ready to eat. The sandwiches are good but we won’t be back since they can’t correctly fulfill an order.

Old-school Italian spot you gotta try! Their Italian subs are packed and full of flavor, but the real magic is in their hot food — just make sure you get there before 2 PM because they always sell out. I recently got hooked on their “lenguas” — flakey flatbread with a super tasty tomato sauce. No idea what they put in it, but it’s addicting. Highly recommend!
