Gioia’s Deli Downtown is opening at 903 Pine St. today. As reported by Sauce in January, this is the 98-year-old deli’s second location.
Third generation co-owner Alex Donley chose the spot after seeing how good lunch business was downtown. “The food truck sells out every Friday,” he said. Now Gioia’s-lovers can eat inside.
The menu is almost the same as that on The Hill, with the addition of a couple favorites from Gioia’s food truck and catering menus: the Hogfather sandwich, featuring hot coppa, hot salami and bacon, and the Italian Salad, with pepperoncini, black olives, tomatoes, red onion and mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
The 2,000 square-foot space seats 40 for weekday lunch, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
