The big question

Hard roll or soft roll?

Every sandwich starts with bread from our oven, and regulars have strong opinions about which one.

Hard roll

A hard, crusty roll, the old-world way.

“…if you don't get a sandwich on a hard roll, you are defeating the purpose…”

Since 1971

Still the original recipes

“We still make all the original recipes. They are wonderful, so why change?”

The family, since 1971

Italia Bakery & Deli was started in 1971 by the Magnanimo and DeGiosa families. They brought traditional recipes from their homeland, Bari, Italy: the tomato sauces, the eggplant parmigiana, the lasagna, the sausage and peppers. Their bread recipe is the one we still bake from scratch every day.

Today the shop is still family owned and operated, with a wonderful staff and the same standards and traditions as 1971.

We're proud to be the best Italian deli in Granada Hills. From hot bread out of our oven to a sandwich made on it, we guarantee you'll walk away completely satisfied.
