This Tiny Brick, NJ Shop Makes Fresh Mozzarella Daily, And The Sandwiches Are Unreal
Are you looking for a sandwich big enough to either share or eat over the course of a whole day? I'm a fan of those kinds of subs, the ones where you pick it up on the way to the beach, realize you can't finish while you're sitting in the sand, and then get to have it for dinner that night too because there's just so much piled onto it.
Claudio's Gourmet Is A Real Hidden Gem, Right In Brick, NJ

That's what you get when you go to Claudio's Gourmet in Brick. This place is a hidden gem, tucked right off Mantoloking Road; if you drive too fast, you just may pass one of the best sandwich shops I've been to in recent memory.
House-Made Mozzarella, And Massive Sandwiches Make The Difference
They do everything by hand, whether it's making their mozzarella fresh, in-house, or breading and frying their own chicken cutlets each day.
When I went to visit Claudio's for the sandwich playoffs, I was blown away. The owner, John, took me through the process of a few of his signature sandwiches, and he takes real pride in what he does, and it reflects in the quality, size, and taste of his sandwiches!
Locally Owned, And Operated, Claudio's Gourmet Is A Local Favorite
Claudio's has been locally owned since its inception, and the current owner, John, does a great job of carrying on the legacy of this store. The sandwiches are loaded with meat, cheese, and toppings, and I'll be honest, for these massive sammies, the price isn't going to break the bank, which I love.
