Oh my goodness! The meatball sub?!? Absolute perfection~tender meatballs, soft bread, and the most delicious sauce! The best meatball sub I have ever had! The shop has great items, we purchased their frozen meatballs and fresh Italian sausage, as well as their sauce and fresh rolls. I cannot wait to try everything! read more

Amazing little Italian grocery. Such a small town feel to it. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They helped me do math for how many cannolis I would need for a party and also offered to help carry groceries out to my car. The quality of the food is also out of this world. Will definitely come back. The fresh bread and cannolis are the best! read more

The selection of prepared food is why I always find myself stopping by on a trip to Akron. My favorites include the tortellini salad and tiramisu. They are always stocked well and the quality is always top notch. read more

Great Italian market!Frozen ravioli to die for! Great deserts, pasta, cheese, and bread!

Everything is fantastic. I stop in frequently for the antipasta. Sausage and peppers, cold cuts etc... it's become our go to over the years

Amazing! Awesome food and sandwiches! Subway who? Jimmy John's what? Nope, if you want a tasty sandwich, Devitis is the place!

I have had better pizza in a gas station back when I was younger and was good with buying gas station pizza. That was most definitely the most mediocre pizza I have ever had. I even went with a slice that they just pulled from the oven. On a better note, I have had their Italian Hoagies (cold) those were pretty good. If your high-end pizza is a Luigis, DeCheckos or Maries (wadsworth) and your mid threshold would be like a Gioninos, Marcos, Pizza Hut; this pizza here is way below the mids it would be at the low end actually below Speedway Gas Station, Little Ceasars, and Dominos. I was actually surprised I really expected way more from an Italian Market. Girlfriend absolutely loves the cannoli's, super expensive though; I think just under $7 for 2 of them. read more

I haven't been here in 20 years, I gotta make an effort to stop by more often. Friendly, old school service. We started at the deli counter. They offer several products imported from Italy. I recommend the mortadella and capacola. Wow, they offered us samples and sliced everything perfectly. You could almost see through the mortadella! Who am I kidding, I picked up some Sicilian pizza, imported pecorino romano, bronze cut pasta and their wonderful cream pancetta sauce. Don't be turned off by the cream, there is just a hint of it in the sauce. It has a little spicy bite but is well balanced. I'm definitely getting this again. To top things off we picked up a box of Italian lemon cookies. The service was so friendly. I started bagging up my items when a nice young man rushed over and bagged things up and offered to carry them out to our car. That's service! I will be back! read more

Love DeVitis Italian market. They have a wonderful variety of cheese and their homemade Italian sausage is the best! Huge wine selection, delicious lunches and homemade meals. And you must get the Massoli twist bread, homemade in Akron! read more

Ok for the most part this is a great establishment in the area and has been a staple for years. I am just being picky on 1 aspect. I been in here to shop. But never had a sandwich or take out. Decided today I was going to pick up a sandwich for dinner. A good Italian sub from an Italian grocery figured it had to be good. It was just OK. I got the Italian Super Sub. All pre made in a case. So you don't get to watch them make it you get the assembly line version. Looked fresh. Bought peppers as well and some chips. Sandwich is just meat and cheese. No extras or dressing or anything else. Plain sub. Seems I could get a better sub at subway. At least I could add some veggies and peppers, dressing too. The sub roll is good. Quality of meats and cheese is there but more bread than meat/cheese. And nothing else. I added Italian dressing and the peppers I bought to zing it up. It was just blah. And I paid $10 for it. The fact that I had to add to it makes it totally not worth it. Best part we're the potato chips. Some generic brand that was awesome! Crunch and salty good. The salads and sides were also in the case and behind the counter. You can get all types of you like. I just didn't want to pay $30 for lunch/dinner. So I passed. Lunch or dinner should be a quick grab. Less than $15 bucks $10 is better than out the door. This was not that. I know prices are up. But $28 for a mediocre sub, peppers, chips, is not worth it. They have a brisk lunch biz. Good for them. Just expected more or better. They do have meatball and sausage subs they make fresh to order. They looked good. Maybe I'll try that next. If I go back. Haven't decided. Plenty of parking, quick in and out for the most part as well. read more

Best Spumoni ever. Would drive across the state for this - but I live close enough so I don't have to. A 5 star treat.

You can't beat this place for their authenticity, service, and quality Italian foods. I've been going to this market with my family since I was a child. It's not large, and during certain holidays (especially Christmas) it can be a bit chaotic and crowded. That said, this family owned Akron institution is so well run and organized that you can be in and out quickly even during peak hours. They offer their own sauces, homemade heat and eat pasta dishes, locally sourced bread, and the highest quality Italian meats and cheeses. They also have daily lunch specials that Akronites have feasted upon for decades. If they made a candle that smelled like DeViti's, I'd buy 1000 of them and keep them lit in my house year round. This place is the best. read more

Pizza was good. The white pizza was our favorite. Nice family friendly atmosphere. Cash only.

This a great place for your pastas and deli needs. It probably has the best meat ball subs in the area. You can get one whole or deconstructed to take home and eat. The people are great and I have never had anything I didn't like from there. read more

Great Italian specialty shop! I always pick up a meatball sub. The meatball premix packets are great for making your own at home!

Meat platter and vegetable platter were great. Ravioli was good but i thought a bit mushy.

Set friendly staff. French made foods including pastas and cookies. Had to get fresh mozzarella balls. read more

Nice Italian deli that covers the bases. The deli counter has specialties like cappicola, sopressatta and mortadella. There's a nice selection of olives and cheeses. Hard to find pastas are there too like my favorite bucatini. Fresh bread, prepared foods and even bottled beer. Wish it were closer to our house. read more

I live in Los Angeles. I would fly to Akron to get another (large) Italian hoagie with a side of roasted peppers. I am not exaggerating. Their lemon ricotta cookies and antipasto are fricking phenomenal as well! Wish we had a place like DeVitis on the west coast! :( :( read more

I drive through the Akron area when I'm heading to Chicago or Michigan from the Washington DC area. Why? There are some foodie gems here and this is one of them. The question is really "Why have I not stopped here sooner? Why have I only found this place now!?" I love Italian delis, you can find amazing imported pasta and homemade sauce in places like this. As I searched for an Italian Deli in the Akron area, this popped up with amazing reviews. I wanted to stock pile the Italian subs from the back wall and take home all the pepperoni bread but luckily my cooler in my car would not be able to hold the stash. I bought a couple items. They were so yummy that on my way back to the DC area I planned my drive so I could pass by DeVitis again. I picked up subs and extras like pasta and more sauce, which you can buy already in a jar. If you want hot (temperature wise) sauce, just ask them in the back and they'll put it in a plastic container for you. Seriously, don't even bother making your own sauce, just get it here!! read more

What a great family owned and operated business. I cannot stress how amazing it smells in here!!!!!

We love DeVitis for all of their Italian foods! They have the best prepared food, and their sauce is to die for. They also have a great sandwich, chips and drink special at lunchtime. A great little market with a huge selection. read more

Can't go wrong if you want homemade Italian pasta and sauce to go! Family business has been around for at least 70 years.

I love this little market. It's right by my house and super convenient. Anything you need to make anything Italian, you'll find it here. I find myself going there non stop to get their tiramisu. It is the best I have ever had. Then they have a great little deli there where I ALWAYS get my hot capicola when I make Stromboli. I also love buying their balls of dough to make homemade pizza as well as their amazing fresh mozzarella. If you haven't tried their frozen strudels to take home and make, you are 100% missing out. The only thing in that whole entire store I would direct you to stay away from is the cannoli candy bar they have by checkout. It's trash. But everyone is so nice there and I would be devastated if they every closed down. read more

Great family owned store for several generations. They only have the freshest food. Everything they have is good, everyone always friendly. read more

Love this place great fresh food and very patient clerks and staff they helped me find all u needed

These guys are professionals. Everything is good here and the staff really know what they are doing. I wish they were closer to town but worth the drive! read more

Don't miss this local treasure, its old world and very cool. In a time of mega grocery stores this stands alone as a family owned Italian market. You simply have to do this... take your kids, take your mother-in-law Its a trip back in time, and you need it. Ask questions at the deli counter, taste real food, they give samples and will be patient with you. Buy something you have never eaten before... and get a new favorite. read more

The wonderful smells lure you in everything is wonderful I love local family owned enterprises. All foods are TOP shelf.

Going to DeVitis is always such a treat for me. I remember going with my mom as a kid and enjoying the delicious deli meat and cheese samples on our way home from the market knowing an awesome sandwich was in store when we got home. Now, as an adult, I can treat myself to some fine Italian goods anytime I find myself in the North Hill area of Akron or sometimes I even plan a special trip there just for DeVitis. The things I ALWAYS get from the deli include capocollo, salami (esp. in one of the varieties not generally found in a regular grocery), ham, and then the sharpest provolone and asiago they can slice. Put these five ingredients on a hoagie roll with a little homemade olive oil and red wine dressing with some herbs and and you've got yourself a pretty fine sandwich. For special events or parties their deli platters make for an amazing spread of superior quality selections and come with olives and a generous bag of rolls for sandwiches. I also enjoy their frozen pesto and alfredo sauces, the freshly grated pecorino romano, parmesan, and fresh ricotta and mozarella. They have frozen pizzas that look fantastic and a variety of frozen and dried pasta in whatever shapes and combos your heart desires. Their fresh Italian sausage is offered in mild, hot, and Sicilian varieties (all wonderful) and they have great fresh produce and other canned goods plus a great selection of fresh breads. The prepared foods section of their deli is also fantastic with great olive blends and aspirational looking slices of lasagna as big as my face that look suuuuper tempting. Everytime I go, I curse myself I don't work close enough nearby to stop in for their lunch sandwich combo special or any of the other specialty prepared selections during the week. read more

What to say about DeVitis? They are amazing. They have great lunch deals in the hot bar & the chilled sandwiches. I'm not a fan of macaroni salad but I could have theirs every single day. It's delicious! The store is clean and everyone working seems pretty happy to be there. Now that I'm reminding myself about the macaroni salad, I may have to run over there tomorrow at lunch to pick some up along with whatever else looks good at the moment. Pick up lunch or dinner here and you won't be disappointed! read more
