Jerardi's Little Store is one of those hidden gems that instantly feels warm and welcoming. The cozy storefront already sets the tone, but the food is where they really shine. I grabbed a sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Fresh bread, generous portions of meat, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and just the right balance of flavors--simple, classic, and done right. You can tell everything is fresh and made with care. The deli case is impressive too. From prepared salads to grilled items and Italian-style dishes, everything looks well-stocked, clean, and appetizing. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every visit because it all looks that good. Overall, Jerardi's Little Store delivers quality food, great presentation, and that small local-shop charm that's hard to find these days. Perfect for a quick lunch or grabbing something delicious to take home. Definitely worth the stop--and the return visit. read more

I came back in town for Thanksgiving and I had to make sure I stopped by here with my mom. Jerardi's is one of my favorite little shops and deli. The food and sandwiches are always tasty and the people are always friendly. I had the triple decker and my mom had a turkey sandwich in rye. I also picked up some potato salad which I loved. If you are ever in the area you need to stop by and see what they got going on here! read more

In the land of Dayton and all the garbage fast food, this place is a delicious gem! We were in town working for a week, and we had a local we were working with recommend ordering sandwiches from here. We ended up ordering three days in a row. Honestly, the people working here seemed to get a little annoyed with us, which I don't get as we were giving them business, but no big deal, the food was still tasty! They have specialty sandwiches, build your own, as well as yummy salads - get the Greek! They also carry chips and drinks to accompany your sandwich, and a huge variety of wine (for your days off.) read more

I heard about Jerardi's word of mouth from a colleague in Cincinnati, so as I'm up in Dayton on a regular basis as the hidden New York style deli in North Dayton, so I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. Note you can truly pass up Jerardi's, its a little shop on a windy road off the Needmore, Frederick and Peter's Pike, just notice the cars as most of the front of the shop is filled with cars. When you walk in you see the gem of the shop, all of the wine they carry from around the world! They are being COVID-19 safe enforcing wearing a mask and social distancing, so look for the distance spots on the floor to stand on to keep your distance while waiting in line. They have over 30 sandwiches available to choose from with their Italian sub being one of their most popular. I love turkey sandwiches and they have 7 different turkey sandwiches to choose from, so it was hard to decide, but I love a turkey sandwich with provolone, plus this had pesto so went with the Mediterranean Turkey and it was delicious. There were several associates behind the counter taking orders, all very busy. On the sides, the associate helping me said they were very busy today, so many of their sides were almost gone. I went with the pesto farfalle salad. In the case they also have a variety of main dishes to take home and reheat, I saw enchiladas, flatbreads, meatballs, loaded baked potatoes. The special they were promoting was grilled burgers, so since I was going to my parents house, felt we could have their burgers for dinner. Also while I was waiting for my food to be ready, I checked out their wine section (they also have some craft beer & sake too). I was delighted to find one of my favorites a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand (its hard to find and rare to find anything sparkling Savvy Blanc as the Kiwi's & Aussies call it). What a delightful carryout deli and wine shop in Dayton, don't miss it on your next trip off 75 and Needmore. read more

Location: 7325 Peters Pike, Dayton Ohio Parking: off street parking available; may be a little tricky when busy Website: https://www.jerardislittlestore.com/ Hours: Tue - Sat 10am - 7pm I'm a little embarrassed this was my first visit to this great store; featuring an extensive wine selection and deli case filled with options for your next meal. It is not an easy place to spot, but well-worth the effort. We planned our first visit to pick up something for dinner and chose two sandwiches to share: Italian sub and a CYO Roast Turkey with Muenster on a sub roll. Both were very good. A last-minute addition after chatting with another patron influenced me to also order a small container of shrimp and crab salad was my favorite item. In addition to 2 bottles of wine from the extensive and remarkable collection, we also picked a small bag of potato chips for the sandwiches and couldn't wait to get home to have it all for dinner. High and low... but the low is high quality. The store is small but well appointed. Tucked among the wine are cultivated snacks and specialty food items like Italian tuna in oil, olive tapenade, crackers, and pastas. The real reason to come here is the wine. Well-stocked, well-curated inventory - you are likely to find new favorites in addition to your current favorite selections. Another reason to shop here is the service. Everyone manning the case graciously made sure all customers were attended to and worked well together. Tips: 1) use navigation app to find this gem. It's tough to spot, but worth the effort. 2) ordering food at the case - your selections will be taken to the register at the front of the store for you 3) enjoy discovering some new items read more

Friendly positive quality helpful kind smiles feel like home clean. Would go back yes !

Big selection of wine for how small the store is and everything I've tried from the deli is great. I also appreciated that they were out of local honey and they took my number down and called me when they got more in. read more

Loved this little gem that I happened across when coming into Dayton. They had some lovely nice quality small entrees and side salads. They also have a great looking deli sandwich menu. My choices were marinated beef tenderloin skewers, a boneless chicken thigh with Mediterranean seasoning and several little side salads. I went back to get more of the tenderloin skewers, the fettuccine salad and couldn't resist the giant 1/2 muffuletta sandwich. They had a nice selection of wines and some craft beers. I saw a few cases of wine go out the door on my first trip. I will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic little gem. Limited menu for food, but everything I have had so far has been great. And boy, do they have a nice wine selection!

I paid 8 bucks for something that is barely worth 5. Asked for a lettuce wrap and got a salad with one small scoop of chicken salad. Heard very good things about this place, but I'm very disappointed read more

This place is amazing! Jerardi's Little Store is an awesome little store that carries all sorts of fine alcohol products, including wines from every region imaginable, specialty things like Saké, ice wines, bitters, and some hard cider brands that I've never even seen before. In addition to having an absolutely stunning collection, they also offer a vast array of homemade sandwiches and italian deli food, including a delicious house-made hummus that I have become slightly addicted to. The owner, Eric Jerardi, is a super kind, super knowledgable man, who has a very admirable passion for what he does. He was extremely kind to this vegan celiac, and offered to make me a lettuce wrap with fresh vegetables in place of a typical sandwich. I was ecstatic and am totally going to be back for that masterpiece on a regular basis. The meat and other sandwich options have been a hit with my family, especially my mother, who says that she hasn't enjoyed deli meat this much since we lived in New Jersey and had access to a similar level of quality. Jerardi's Little Store also carries snack foods, artisanal non-alcoholic drinks, and various sauces and jarred vegetables. They don't have anywhere inside the store to sit, but this isn't a big whup. Just stop by, pick out an amazing bottle of whatever you're in the mood for, nab some tasty Jerardi creation, and enjoy when you get home. (Or if you're like me, bust out the hummus in the car because you simply cannot wait.) Lather, rinse, repeat. read more

I came here today after a recommendation and I was very impressed. I got an Italian Sub that was huge and made just like a NYC deli would do it and had the best pasta I've ever had, bow tie pesto and thai peanut noodles. What I loved about this place was the authenticity and actual real food made by actual Italian people. They also have a very great beer and wine selection. read more

I absolutely love this place. Fresh salads, meats and sandwiches are HUGE! Well worth the $7-8! You can easily split this with someone. Wonderful wine selection too! read more

The store front is very nice but the inside is flawlessly stocked to the roof with any type of wine you'd like. I go to Jerardi's for their amazing food. I've only had their sandwiches, which are by far...a crave worthy treat! But, every time I'm in there, fellow customers always approach me with a smile and suggestion on their own mind blown personal selection of food. Overall, amazing quick stop for food and spirits alike. Cheers read more

What a little gem that is hidden away and has great sandwiches and service. Being a Ohio/California transplant after living in California for 35 years it was nice to find a place that's not fast food in the Vandalia area. Also the wine collection to choose from looked amazing and I can't wait to try some. Great job Jerardi's I'm gonna be a return customer for sure! read more

Dropped by to grab a couple of sandwiches and saw that they had soup as well. The sandwiches were very good but I wish I would have gotten some of their mushroom soup. read more
