Blue Sky Deli

Hubs and I came for the infamous chopped cheese and my oh my was it worth it. It's essentially a chopped up cheeseburger inside a sandwich roll, pressed and slightly toasted. The chopped ingredients muddle well together creating a creamy texture which just works with the fresh crunchy lettuce. Typing this makes me want one right now.

It's roughly $7, takes around 15 minutes to make upon getting the order, and there is no seating indoor or outdoor which is a slight bummer.

The home of the Chopped Cheese. The famous Haiji's where it was created. Seen this place so many times in videos. And finally got to try it out myself. I've had chopped cheese sandwiches before but the original is just too good. Made on a sesame bread roll. filled with ground beef, cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mayo. Pressed like a panini to give it that crisp crunch. Located inside of the deli where you can pick up bottles of soft drinks and other convenience store items. This is a great sandwich and glad that it's getting the love it deserves. Comfort food at it's finest

Recommendation: The original chopped cheese sandwich

Got the chop cheese with everything on hero. It was pretty good, would definitely get it again. Bread was light and crispy. Condiment was tasty. Tomato was a nice touch. Only $8 but no where to eat it. Went down the street to eat it. They do accept credit card. Supposedly cardi bs favorite place to get chop cheese

Just had myself a chop cheese on a hero and Wowzers! The best 8 bucks I ever spent. One of the authentic bodegas in the area. Everyone's super nice. Get yourself something from the culture. DELICIOUS

I am a first-time trier of the NYC rapper-hyped Chopped Cheese sandwich and did not like the one made here, where it was created many years ago by a now-deceased chef.

The sandwich is made with American cheese, and the quality of the ground beef is low grade. No wonder it only cost $7.50.

I had the sandwich on a hero with everything on it, including lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mayonnaise and ketchup.

It tasted like a creamy Wendy's cheeseburger.

I have had better "creamy cheeseburgers" in pubs, taverns, diners and bars, just several miles away in Lower Manhattan. The chefs in those burger joints are likely using higher quality ground beef.

I do not recommend Chopped Cheese for cheeseburger lovers who prefer prime grade beef or for those like myself who are too Bougie for a bodega-made creamy cheeseburger. I would rather go to Wendy's, where I can sit down and eat.

I'll give it to them, they make a pretty damn good chop cheese. I was pretty damn surprised about how good the chop cheese tasted after waiting an hour for it to be delivered via uber eats and with it being mildly soggy. The flavor is there, and I would recommend anyone to get it delivered if you don't want to make the trip out to get it.

Just had some takeout sandwiches. My favorite was the Chopped Cheese sandwich which rich in flavor. The filling was packed. It was so fresh. The bun was good and tasty too. The staff was so friendly and made sandwiches promptly. My food was packed properly. Highly recommend this place. They have lots of options.

Everyone knows about NYC pizza but a hidden secret among locals is the chopped cheese. If you don't know what it is, it's essentially a beef patty chopped up with cheese (where it gets its name) put on a hero roll with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Some people will say it's "NYC's answer to the Philly cheesesteak" which it's not but they are similar.

This deli was previously named Hajji's and they invented the chopped cheese. I've seen many videos about the chopped cheese and this place in particular and I wanted to try it out myself. It's a small deli that is also a grocery store and is open 24/7 which makes for a great late night drunchies spot.

I ordered the chopped cheese with everything ($7) which was deliciously salty and hit the right senses. The secret is the seasoning in the meat which makes it so mouthwatering. There's nowhere for you to sit and eat as it's more of a grab-and-go spot.

This invention sparked bodegas across New York to also have chopped cheeses on their menus but nothing beats the originator.

This was my first time ever having a chopped cheese and they set the bar! If you ever come to New York go here first and then compare. That's what i did and out of the other ones i had, which were all good. This one was the best ! Tip add extra cheese and get it all the way!

Chopped Cheese is off the Richter Scale
This place is known for it and boy is it worth it.
