Meet the Family Behind Datz Deli

From the Heart of Queens to the Culture of the Future

Datz Deli isn’t just a sandwich shop. It’s a family legacy, a viral movement, and now a lifestyle brand rewriting what it means to build from the ground up.

Founded by Joshua Dat, a Hollis, Queens native who spent over a decade stacking dollars from snow shoveling and side hustles, Datz Deli was built with real family and real flavor at its core. His father the chef behind the counter is the man who inspired every dish. The rest of the family is right there too, making sure every plate, every post, and every product feels like it came from home.
