DeAngelis Culinary is more than just another sandwich shop—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the DeAngelis family’s rich culinary legacy, a name synonymous with exceptional food in Wildwood for generations.
Pete DeAngelis, the driving force behind this venture, has skillfully carried forward his family’s storied tradition with a menu that artfully blends traditional flavors with a modern twist.
For those familiar with the DeAngelis name, Pete’s father ran the beloved DeAngelis Italian Deli, which operated in various locations on the island until its closing in 2016.
As a child, we would walk to the deli located on 17th and New York Ave, where we were treated to not just amazing food but also great stories. DeAngelis Culinary carries on this cherished tradition with the same passion and dedication.
