GOURMET PICKLED RED ONIONS

When it comes to delis, Performance Foodservice’s roots go way back to 1885, just a few years before America gave birth to its first deli on Delancey Street in lower Manhattan. Hence our brand name Delancey Street Deli® is a tribute to where the first pastrami sandwich was made, giving birth to America’s first deli.

Our company was founded as Pocahontas Foods, which delivered food to restaurants, grocery stores, and other eateries since its beginning and along the way included delis as they emerged along the American landscape. Performance Foodservice also carries with it a special affection for delis and deli foods as part of our heritage over the years for it was in 1955 that the young Italian immigrant Mr. Louis Piancone founded his Italian deli in New Jersey, which gave birth to Roma Food and forever changed the pizza and Italian marketplace.

Delancey Street Deli® delivers gourmet products that are cleaner in ingredients and have taste profiles to satisfy the most discerning palates.

Look for Delancey Street Deli® brand on numerous products including whole muscle meats, sliced cheeses, rolls, dips, heat-and-serve soups, sandwich spreads, and condiments, pickles, relishes, sauerkraut, and gourmet cold prepared salads and other prepared foods.
