Li’l Guys

A good deli and a good pizza place—does a neighborhood need anything else? By serving deep-dish with a rich crust and chunky, slightly spicy sauce, owner Rich Aronson is continuing a family tradition (his father opened the first My Pie in 1971). The deli, on the other hand, was his idea—and a good one. Juicy house-cured corned beef, fresh-fruit smoothies and fudgy brownies you wish your mom could bake are three reasons he may have another tradition on his hands.
