There is another place in Manville called European Deli. They make their own pierogi and have many varieties of them. They also do polish style catering. They also sell many varieties of kielbasa and imported goods. They have been in business for 18 years. Which makes them the oldest and largest polish delis in Manville
European Deli 260 South Main Street Manville NJ 08835
What is the name of the store on Main Ave. in either Clifton or Passiac that sells homemade pieriogies and kielbasa. Its about one mile east of Corrodos Supermarket.
They also sell home made microwaveable meals to go.
Best babka in Teaneck nj on clifton ave ,a majority nof residents trace their roots to Poland ,some of the older ones speak Polish but they are a dying breed ,you can try other polish origin delicacies,remember the bakery is kosher so they would not mix dairy & meat.So many jews in the U.S.A. are from polish backgrounds.

Wow I can't believe how close some of these places are. I look on a map, and its like the opposite direction of where I usually go out to eat, but the same distance and with highways.
I'm not Polish but I grew up in the Passaic/Clifton area of NJ, loving Polish food. I asked a Polish coworker where I could find good pierogis in my area and she recommended B&L Deli in Manville, NJ. And, here's a link that might be helpful to all!!

There is a WONDERFUL polish store in Garfield, NJ, where I grew up. It is called Piast on River Drive. It is absolutely PACKED at Easter time, but you will not believe how quickly you are in and out of there! They have police directing traffic, so parking is done very efficiently. They have I can't tell you how many people working behind the counter, and they have the most efficient system I've ever seen in a deli, so you are in and out of there in about 15 minutes or less! As for the food -- INCREDIBLE!!!! They not only have incredible Polish deli foods, like kiska and lots of varieties of kielbasa, but they also have a large selection of jarred and canned goods, as well as candy and magazines from Poland. There is too much to list, but believe me, it is definitely worth the trip. In the same mini-strip mall, there is an out-of-this-world Polish bakery with the best rye bread you've ever tasted, along with incredible Polish cakes and cookies of all varieties!!! I now live about 45 minutes away from them, and yet every year for Easter, without fail, I make the trip there just to get all of my Easter "goodies". Enjoy!!!
It's actually packed every day :) I live 3 blocks from there. it's true you can get just about anything in there. If it's too packed there's another small one a few blocks away aroud the corner from Pescador Portugese rest.
I'm in south Jersey - the land of nothing much of anything. Does anyone have directions to the Polish section of Philly? I only know of 1 place on Venango or Salmon that makes kielbasa. There is a small shop in Vineland at Park and the Blvd. but beyond those 2 places, :(
Anyone w/info for Philly can write me at Westsidewaltz@aol.com.
The pierogi factory did burn down several years ago but reopened on Main Street in Clifton, NJ. It's called "Homemade Pirogi". It's across the street from De Luxe Cleaners. Since there's a Mexican place next door, they now also make meat-filled empanadas as well.
B&L Market in Manville, NJ. It's on the corner directly behind Manville High School. I often buy AWESOME piergogy, Kiszka, MANY varieties of Kielbassa and many baked goods there. Trust me, this place is fantastic. They have all the dry goods that you'd expect from a Polskie store like jellies, soups, spreads, frozen goods, canned goods (we LOVE their Golonka). They speak English, but it's a pretty 'Polish' place - it reminds me of the little bodegas in Poland.
I even heard that Jimmy Maly Weber of The Sounds keeps his girlish figure by purchasing his lean snausages at B&L Market in Manville, NJ! Matka Buska!
For biggest selection of polish candy & chocolates go to delicje. It's a polish candy store and it cheaper than at piast. They are in Clifton on Dayton Ave (Botany Village Square). It about a mile from Piast and much bigger selection of chocolates. They are next to the polish bookstore.
You need to try plums in chocolate and cherries in liqueur. These are the best chocolates I've ever tasted.
I live by that deli on River Dr. The food is fantastic!! It reminders me of the Italian delis my mother use to shop in Brooklyn!! I am Italian but good food is good food!!!
