Located in historic downtown Potsdam, NY, home to two colleges and thousands of local residents, Little Italy has established itself as one of Potsdam's finest eateries. Whether you're looking for quick bite to eat such as pizza by the slice, or a full sit down menu, Little Italy is sure to please your appetite!
Little Italy has been established in Potsdam since 2001. Darin Richards has been running the pizzeria since May of 2008. Built in 1821 the building that houses Little Italy is the oldest standing sandstone structure in Potsdam. Sewall Raymond and Liberty Knowles, both popular and prominent businessmen in the early 1800's, built the dwelling together.
In the first year of owning the restaurant Darin worked hard to established a new customer base, bringing in more of a family atmosphere. In a blind taste test their pizza was voted number one in Potsdam in August of 2008. In April of 2009 we participated in a Chicken Wing Fly-By put on by the local Chamber of Commerce and won 2 out of 3 categories. With holding the title for most unique flavor and most crispy. The jumbo wings are a must-have!
