✦ Our Story ✦

More Than a Deli —
A Shrewsbury Tradition

AJ's Deli was founded on a simple belief: great food starts with great ingredients. Since 1999, we've been waking up before dawn to prepare the freshest breakfast platters, hand-slicing premium deli meats, and crafting the kind of sandwiches that keep Shrewsbury coming back day after day.

What began as a neighborhood deli has grown into the go-to catering partner for corporations, weddings, and events across New Jersey — but our heart has never left that first little kitchen.
