Defonte's Sandwich Shop Menu

Defonte's Sandwich Shop, a Brooklyn staple, offers an unapologetically generous menu celebrating classic Italian-American flavors. Their signature Defontes Cuban and Potatoes and Eggs sandwich showcase a hearty balance of meat, cheese, and seasoning. Cold heroes like the Nicky Special—stacked with ham, capocollo, salami, fried eggplant, and provolone—deliver bold, layered flavors, while hot heroes such as the Hot Roast Beef and The Jerry Lewis meld fresh mozzarella and fried eggplant with savory jus or tomato.

Customers appreciate the rich, sizeable portions, the remarkable egg and cheese sandwich, and standout dishes like the Golden Boy with vodka sauce and prosciutto.
