Founded in 1913, this quintessential southern Italian deli clearly doesn't fit in with the franchised mix of crap on Washington Street. Fiore's makes its own mozzarella every day, and that mozzarella is fantastic--light and fluffy without a trace of the rubberiness that mars most mozzarellas. It finds its best use in the daily hero special. Tuesday, slices of mozzarella mellow a hot corned beef and mustard sandwich, for the ultimate Italio-Irish fusion, but the Thursday and Saturday hot roast beef hero is even more notorious.

Robert Sietsema: The best evocation of the famed Brooklyn roast-beef hero is found not in Bensonhurst, but in Hoboken - home of that Portuguese-surnamed singer, Frank Sinatra. Carved from a steamship loaf at Fiore House of Quality, the pink-tinged beef, caramelized on its surface, is shaved onto a baguette, layered with homemade mozzarella, and inundated with brown gravy. Sarah DiGregorio: What is more heroic than a banh mi? The best Vietnamese hero in the city can be had at Ba Xuyen, where the grilled-pork option (my favorite) features spicy-sweet caramelized slices of pork along with pickled carrot and daikon, perky cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and generous smears of mayo and liver pate.
Best homemade Mozz ever!
