Best Italian hero sandwiches on Staten Island

[italianices]

Where can I get the top Italian hero sandwiches on Staten Island? I'm looking for a Defonte's or Faicco's sort of place - a deli or salumeria - that has a great selection of salumi (Italian cured meats) and cheeses and uses fresh and crispy but chewy Italian bread. Nothing yuppie or new age, just classic old-school Italian delis (in spirit if not in actual age) whose focus is on meats like soppressata and capicola rather than turkey and roast beef.

So far, the only places I know of are Royal Crown Bakery on Hylan Boulevard and A & C Superette on Manor Road. I also know that John's Deli on Stillwell Avenue in Brooklyn has a branch on Innis Street near the North Shore of the island, but their specialty is hot roast beef heroes - which is fine, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

I know there has to be a ton of Italian delis on Staten Island that fit the bill, but I'm having trouble finding these places through the search function or even on other food sites.

Appreciate any suggestions.

You're correct. There are so many places!
I like the selection at: Little Italy Gourmet. Not inexpensive but great tasting sandwiches and a great selection of 'old school' meats.

I find their cold cuts to be great. Their daily specials as well.
They also deliver. If you cannot pass by, I'm sure they'll send/fax you a menu.
Hope it meets your needs. :-)
