Kathleen Roll & Justin Simmons worked in Dayton bars and restaurants for many years before moving off to Chicago, but always knew they wanted to return to Dayton. So when they recently moved back to Dayton they came with a plan to open their own business. They decided to open a store featuring a thoughtful collection of grocery staples & really good old school sandwiches in the downtown area.
Tony and Pete’s, which is named after their fathers, will be a neighborhood market offering fresh produce, grocery staples, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, florals, and old school cold cut sandwiches.
Justin explains they want to offer epic old school deli sandwiches, they’ll even have draft beer and wine available. While they are working on finalizing the menu here are a couple of confirmed items:
THE TONY: Turkey, Roast Beef, American Cheese, Lots of Shredduce, Roasted Red Peppers, Duke’s Mayo, and T&P Vinaigrette.
The Italian Chopped Salad with mixed lettuces, chickpeas, olives, tomato, oregano, salami, smoked provolone and T&P vinaigrette.
While not a restaurant, there will be a deli counter, where you can order a sandwich, pick up some great sides. While it may not be on the official menu, Justin teases that a true Chicago style Italian Beer with true giardiniera
will be featured in the future.
