Little Italy excels with an extensive menu that showcases the best of Italian comfort food and artisan pizza. Among the standout dishes, the Chicken Parmigiana shines with its tender, golden-breaded chicken blanketed in rich tomato sauce and melted mozzarella, evoking warm, comforting flavors that linger delightfully on the palate.

For pizza aficionados, the Slice Little Italy Special is a must-try—a perfect harmony of savory toppings on a crust that strikes the ideal balance between crispiness and chew.

Little Italy doesn’t stop at pizza—its small calzones and strombolis, such as the Small Meat Calzone, bursting with ground beef, cheese, and homemade sauce, or the vegetarian variation loaded with mushrooms and peppers, offer perfectly portioned options that satisfy without overwhelming.

Don’t miss their Italian classics like Eggplant Parmesan and the sumptuous Meatball Parmigiana Sub, all crowned with fresh homemade bread, celebrated by visitors as irresistibly soft and delightfully chewy—a sensory experience in itself.

    AUTHENTIC nyc style pizza. We have ordered pizza to go here several times. The quality is consistent. Delicious, high quality dough, sauce, cheese. Not sure if it is cooked in a charcoal oven or not but it sure looks and tastes like it. Dave Portnoy should review it. Five stars. Thanks.

    Great food! Came here off a whim! The rural hall location was closed on Sunday, so this place was our next try. I ordered a cheese pizza. My test on any Italian branded restaurant, because an Italian restaurant without good pizza isn’t much hope for the rest of the menu. My family and I ordered and had food on the table within 5 minutes. This was salad and appetizers, and beers and drinks of course. THE BEST pizza in the area! I had Peroni on tap, which is always a great option. Had the pizza within 10 minutes after the appetizers came! Food was amazing and service was great! Not remembering what our waitress’s name was, but it was Sunday and I think we were seated in Table 10, and she was amazing. Helpful, answered questions and was all around a sweetheart. Will definitely be back and will tell my friends who live in Mt. Airy about this place! Found a new family favourite for Italian food!

    I liked the food here, I ordered Chicken Piccada - lemon paste with onions, sorrel and peas. Previously in the reviews it looked different, so I’ll add a photo for a better understanding of what you get. We also received a gift from the chef - delicious bruschetta, and also ordered ranch salad and lasagna. I'll attach all the photos. Let me add that everything was prepared very quickly!

    We are visiting from out of state and our hosts suggested we come here. It did NOT disappoint!!! First of all.... THE BREAD!!!!!!! O M G!!!! So soft, and chewy and fresh!! The salads were generous and yummy, and each of the entrees were fantastic. Every server checked on us as they went by, and all seemed happy to be helping! We were very impressed, and will be back next visit! Thank you for a fantastic meal!
