Since 1979, It's more than just pizza. It's our legacy.

What began as a family grocery store in 1966 grew into one of Groveport's favorite family restaurants, Little Italy Ristorante. On September 4th, 1966 Chuck and Janet Ward purchased "Smith's Home Market" and renamed it "Chuck's Little Giant". The Little Giant provided hand-cut butcher selections, fresh produce, pantry, household items, and was a staple of downtown Groveport. As the business grew, Chuck and Janet raised their family in the home next to the grocery store. This mix of work, friends, and family helped define the distinctive culture of what is now Little Italy.
