Tony’s Deli: ‘New Canaan Landmark’ Consistently Delivers

By |

 

With its warm staff and dazzling array of inventive sandwiches, wraps and salads, Tony’s Deli has carved a special niche as a destination for hungry New Canaanites since opening on Pine Street in 2007. While Tony’s certainly has broad appeal, it specifically has forged a unique place with youth and high school sports programs. Take a look around the interior of Tony’s and you’ll see “thank you” posters from various Rams teams, from cheerleading to hockey to football. “Tony’s is a New Canaan landmark,” NCHS senior Connor Buck told NewCanaanite.com. “Going back to youth football, after a long game our team would always go to Tony’s. Everyone loves them.”

A major part of Tony’s synergy with the high school kids in particular is due to some old-fashioned features they’ve instituted in recent years.
