Rocky’s NY Deli & Italian Catering
The Pooler Lions Club is pleased to recognize Rocky’s NY Deli and Italian catering as one of the December 2023 Pooler Lions Club Businesses of the Month. They were a Gold and Team Sponsor of our Chipping for Charity golf fundraiser. Thank you for your support!
Here is what the owner, Bill Vissicchio, thinks of his New York Deli…
What comes to mind when you think of New York? The city that never sleeps…Times Square…Broadway…that magnificent skyline…THE FOOD – anything you want at any time of day or night. There’s just something about New York food that tastes different, authentic, real. For me it was the comfort food – sandwiches – the delis that were on every corner each with its own distinct tastes and ways of doing things. I might drive past 5 or 6 delis to get to the one that had “my” sandwich.
What we have tried to create at Rocky’s is a menu of “my sandwiches.” A lot of memories, time and research were put into creating our menu. Many long hours were spent in many delis and sandwich shops all over the 5 boroughs and Long Island watching how sandwiches were put together and what tastes make them unique. Yeah, I ate a lot of sandwiches – someone had to do it. There are thousands of delis across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and only one of us, so we may not do it exactly the way you might remember at your go-to deli, but I can assure you, you will be able to taste the same pride and authenticity that goes into every product we offer.
Nothing says New York like Pastrami & Corned beef. The only way to get it right is to make it yourself. We do it from scratch – using USDA Prime brisket, sitting it in a brine for up to 2 weeks, rubbing what will be pastrami in our proprietary blend of spices then smoking it for 12-14 hours before cooling it and slicing it thin. Corned beef is taken right from the brine and baked with our spice blend. That pastrami on rye that you order from Rocky’s is 2-3 weeks in the making.
Roast beef cooked rare from scratch, cheesesteaks made from 100 % Ribeye, the best Italian cold cuts, fresh mozzarella made daily, sides and salads made from scratch…just some of the things we do to make every meal special.
And that NY breakfast…stop by on the way to work for an authentic ‘bacon egg and cheese’ on a hard roll directly from the JJ Cassone bakery in Westchester, NY. Bagels. We could probably get pretty good ones around here, but if you want a real NY bagel, why not get them directly from the source? Our partner at A & S Bagels in Franklin Square, NY (the same bagel shop I used to go to as a kid) ships them directly to us. They are boiled (in that NY water), par baked, frozen, and finished in our oven fresh. They are simply the best bagels I’ve ever had (and that’s coming from a NY bagel snob).
Anyone could slice some cold cuts, put a picture of the Statue of Liberty on the wall and call it New York “Style.” At Rocky’s… We Ain’t New York “Style” – WE ARE NEW YORK.
Savannah is my home now, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else, but once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker at heart.

The Horne Law Firm
Personal Injury…That’s Truly Personal
The Pooler Lions Club is pleased to recognize the Horne Law Firm as one of our October 2024 Businesses of the Month. They were a Silver Sponsor of our Chipping for Charity Golf Fundraiser, and we thank them for their support.
The Horne Law Firm is a trusted firm with over eighteen years of legal expertise, providing a wide range of legal services to individuals and businesses. Practice areas include Motor Vehicle Accidents, Serious Injury and Wrongful Death, Medical Malpractice, Traumatic Brain Injury, as well as Civil and Criminal Litigation.
When Derek E. Horne, Owner & Founder, decided to start the Horne Law Firm, he had a very specific goal in mind. It’s a goal each staff member must memorize, embrace at heart and display as a reminder.
“We will never forget that every client that comes to us is seeking shelter from a sudden and unexpected storm. Physical pain, emotional trauma, financial pressure and fear of the unknown could leave any of us broken, desperate and lost. We are hired to fight injustice, redress wrongs and ameliorate loss. But it is more than just our job or profession. It’s our chance to improve lives, serve those in need and the highest of privileges.”
He admits it’s a lofty goal, and “I am sometimes reminded that it would be easier to accept a lower standard. However, whenever I have doubts, I only have to talk to previous clients who are better off today because we truly cared about them. They remind me that there are countless others that need our help.”
When someone is hurt or killed due to negligence or willful misconduct of others, they or their loved ones often seek out an attorney to help them navigate the complexities of tort law and instruct them on how to best protect their rights.
A high number of personal injury claims coupled with relaxed rules for creative advertising can allow a single attorney to represent hundreds of clients at the same time and never meet their clients, but we do not believe that these legal services are ideal for everybody. We have chosen to limit the number of clients we represent because this model allows us to address opportunities unique to each case and truly cater to the individual needs of our clients. Some clients need that, and we’d rather do too much, than care too little. We know you will appreciate the difference.
The firm has won Best of Georgia 2022 & 2023, Best of Pooler (Law Firm) 2022, 2023 & 2024 and Pooler Chamber 2022 Business of the Year. Derek also serves on the Board of Directors for the Pooler Chamber & Visitor Bureau and Gilliard & Company. He is also involved in several charities including Humane Society – Greater Savannah, Anthony Lanier Foundation, Stop the Traffic, and United Way.
Visit www.Horne.Law or call (912) 800-HURT (4878) today. Located at 130 Canal Street, Suite 301, Pooler, GA 31322.
