J. Pace & Son is a family-owned Italian grocery store in Saugus considered a hidden gem. The store is known for its great and extensive selection of fresh meats and cold cuts. It offers fresh fruits and produce, abundant imported goods, and an amazing prepared foods section. The bakery items, like cannoli, are described as heavenly, and the subs are absolutely awesome, the best in miles, with customers recommending to grab one before they run out of bread. The breakfast is also noted as very good and reasonable. Reviews highlight that the staff in every department is willing to help and go out of their way to accommodate shoppers, making customers feel not alone. While most food is called phenomenal, there has been a noted inconsistency with some specific bakery items. Overall, it is highly recommended as a great store for Italian food.
Got a steak bomb and a container of spearmint leaves candy. Candy was surprisingly fresh. Even though it was just candy it was probably some of the best I've had. Sub was great all around. No complaints at all
