The “Ultimate Italian”.Benedetti’s Deli originated the concept of “The Rocket” which is perhaps the largest deli sandwich one could imagine. We offer over 30 different rockets. Our Rockets come in 2 sizes: Whole & Half. We pride ourselves of having 30 sandwiches at $5 or less! Using only the freshest of ingredients and bread baked daily from across the street are what make our sandiwches so special. In addition to our Rockets we are known for having some of the tastiest chicken fingers in the area. Established in 1955. Benedetti’s Deli was founded in 1955 by Molly and Marcy Benedetti and has been a family owned and operated business in Haverhill, Massachusetts, since that time. The deli was first run by their son Joseph Benedetti who operated the store for 53 years until his passing in January, 2009. Joseph was affectionately known as “Bobo” to his many loyal customers and was a store fixture, hardly ever missing a day of work. Bobo originated the concept of “The Rocket” which is perhaps the largest deli sandwich one could imagine. Many customers have commented that a Rocket is so large it could feed an entire family. His idea was to provide a quality product at a value, a tradition which continues to this day at Benedetti’s Deli.Since February, the deli has been run by Bobo’s three children, Marc, Mary and Edward, who proudly carry on the traditions of their parents, Joseph and Mary.
