ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)- This is not a joke. On Friday, April 1, 2016, Gioia's Deli will open a second location in downtown St. Louis at 903 Pine. Downtown eaters will recognize that as the former location of Sauce on the Side. The layout of the space will be very similar to the flagship location on The Hill, with the focal point of the space the walkup deli counter. The downtown menu will be similar also, including the “Word of the Week” promotion, good for $1 off your sandwich, and the NotSoSecret Menu.

The new location will be open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 11am to 4pm.

The original Gioia’s Deli was opened in 1918 at the corner of Macklind and Daggett on The Hill.
