Snowmageddon is coming, Ohio. ❄️
Snow starts late tonight and Sunday is looking like a stay-in kind of day.

Skip the empty grocery shelves and grab dinner today.

Our Bake At Home Fettuccine Al Forno is snow day insurance.
Pasta for 4 to 6, salad, and breadsticks, ready when you are.

Take it home, bake it tomorrow, and enjoy the storm the right way. A gallon of milk and a loaf of bread can’t compete. 🍝🔥

What happens when we give our staff the night off??

Last week, we traded pizza for pins, pasta for pints, and just enjoyed being together. ❤️🎳

We spent the night sharing our favorite work memories from 2025, from marching in the Fourth of July parade to handling chaos in the kitchen. No matter the moment, one thing stayed true: our team always showed up, and showed out.

This party was a chance to celebrate them–and the unforgettable memories we’ve made together along the way. 🍕❤️

We will be open today from 12pm to 4pm.
We will be closing at 4pm for our employee holiday party as we take time to celebrate and appreciate our team.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 🎄

Big week. Big moves. And honestly, a very proud moment for me.

I want to publicly congratulate Jessica and Chloe on two well-earned promotions.

📊 Jessica has been promoted to Full-Time Executive Assistant with ownership of our Finance seat and is now officially part of our leadership team. She supports me directly, strengthens our financial rhythms, and helps keep the business healthy, accountable, and moving forward.

✨ Chloe has stepped into the role of Creative Marketing Manager, joining our leadership team and helping shape how the Little Italy Ristorante and Main Ground Coffee story is told.

Neither of these roles happened overnight. Both were earned through preparation, ownership, and consistently showing up at a higher level. I’ve watched the work, the growth, and the commitment firsthand, and I truly couldn’t be more proud of these two.

This is something I believe deeply in.
We don’t just hire people to fill shifts.
We invest in people and give them seats they can own.

Jessica and Chloe, I’m so proud of you both...
This is earned.
And for anyone paying attention, this is what growth looks like here. I’m so excited for the future.

Onward.

It’s Christmas Eve — and we’re feeling all the things.🎄🎅

This week’s Slice is a little different. We asked our team to spread some holiday love with a shout-out chain — each person shouting out someone who made their year better. What followed was something pretty special.

We also looked back on our favorite memories from 2025, celebrated an unforgettable year, and took a moment to say thank you — to each other, to you, and to this amazing little corner of the world we get to serve.

And... we gave away a Nintendo Switch to one lucky rewards member. 🎁 Huge congrats to Connie and her grandson — hope it brings you both a whole lot of joy!

Thanks for being part of our year. ❤️

The holidays are here, and things are getting festive... and competitive.
Joleanna brought the cheer with some amazing holiday window art at Main Ground Coffee — but over at Little Italy, things heated up. Mike and Jesse went head-to-head in a game of Mario Kart to see who would unlock this weekend’s app-exclusive deal.

🎁 Spoiler: it’s a good one.
$5 off $20, app only, this Friday–Sunday.

Watch to see who won — and how you can claim the deal for yourself. Plus: every visit gets you one step closer to winning our Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart giveaway. Drawing on Dec 22. Let’s gooo.

Our Story

Established in 1979 What began as a family grocery store in 1966 grew into one of Groveport's favorite family restaurants, Little Italy Pizza. On September 4th, 1966. Chuck's Little Giant grocery store was a staple of downtown Groveport but by the early 1980's, supermarkets were pushing the Little Giant out of business. That was when son Nick Ward took over from his parents (Chuck and Janet) and put the business on a new track. Now, we have been serving family's in the town of Groveport and all of surrounding Columbus since 1979!
