About Bari Foods

Bari Italian Subs was founded in 1973 by Joseph and Grace Pedota, who emigrated from the town of Bitritto near Bari, Italy. With a mission to serve the local Italian community on Grand Avenue, Joseph and Grace built their reputation by offering top-notch service and quality products at affordable prices, a combination that made Bari a success from the start.

​

Today, the business is operated by their sons, Frank and Ralph, who have continued to grow Bari’s offerings while staying true to its roots. Our acclaimed Italian subs and homemade Barese sausages have remained customer favorites, while we’ve introduced new, family-recipe staples like fresh-made sauces, prepared dishes, homemade giardiniera, and fresh pestos.

​

Bari is more than just a deli—we also provide an old-fashioned Italian grocery experience, with imported cheeses, prosciuttos, salamis, olive oils, vinegars, pastas, and more. Looking for a special cut of veal, lamb, beef, or pork? We’ve got you covered. Need a custom meatball mix? We can handle that, too.

​

At Bari, we’re committed to maintaining the same friendly, old-neighborhood atmosphere that’s been our hallmark for over 50 years.
