Little It Deli

Located at 615 Main Street in the heart of historic Emlenton, Pennsylvania, Little It Deli has been feeding the community for ten years with its signature house‑made dough, fresh‑simmered sauces, and daily‑baked breads. The menu showcases classic New York‑style pizza topped with locally sourced mozzarella, pepperoni, and seasonal vegetables, alongside hand‑folded calzones stuffed with ricotta and spinach. Hoagie lovers can choose from turkey, roast beef, or vegetarian options, while pasta enthusiasts enjoy spaghetti Bolognese, creamy fettuccine Alfredo, and weekly specialty dishes such as garlic‑butter shrimp linguine. The deli’s weekend features include a rotating “Chef’s Special” pizza and a selection of homemade soups that change with the seasons. Guests are welcome to bring their own beverages, and the relaxed BYOB policy adds a personal touch to the dining experience. Little It Deli also provides full‑service catering for birthdays, corporate events, and church gatherings, offering pizza trays, charcuterie boards, and pasta stations. For hands‑on learners, the deli runs pasta, soup, and sauce classes every month, teaching the secrets behind their beloved recipes. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Sunday 12 p.m.–6 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 4 p.m.–8 p.m.), the restaurant serves both dine‑in and take‑out patrons. Prices are moderate, with most pizzas ranging from $12 to $18, and the popular Family Meal Deal includes two large pizzas, a side salad, and garlic knots for $29.99. Friendly staff, a cozy interior with reclaimed wood tables, and free Wi‑Fi make Little It Deli a welcoming spot for families, students, and travelers passing through the Allegheny River Valley.
