Book NowAbout Halfday Deli
Halfday Deli runs as a bustling sandwich counter by day, flipping into a wine and pizza room when dusk rolls in. Bread is baked in-house using fine Italian flour—yielding airy focaccia and crisp crusts stacked with chicken cotoletta, pastrami, or melted egg. Morning regulars drop in for cold brew flights and espresso pulled on La Marzocco gear. Come evening, vinyl plays against low lighting as tables fill for crisp slices like the hot honey salami alongside polenta chips and chilled glasses of pinot.
- In-house baked bread: Focaccias and sandwich loaves are mixed and baked on-site using fine Italian flour.
- Day-to-night service: The counter shifts from day sandwiches and cold brew to evening pizza, snacks, and wine pairings.
- Specialty coffee focus: Espresso pulled on La Marzocco gear alongside diverse cold brew options.

Connor Basham Fluffy Handcrafted Evening Pizzas
Pizzas are prepared on light, fluffy bases with rich tomato sauce and quality gourmet ingredients.
the real hero was the pizza base and sauce. The toppings were out of this world, but I couldn’t stop focusing on the rich tomato sauce and how light, fluffy and perfectly cooked the base was.
