While it isn’t what you’d expect from a traditional food hall, a new offering from a downtown restaurant provides gourmet food to go that isn’t found on its typical menus.

The new Nunzio’s Food Hall is the creation of Harvester Kitchen by Bryan. It’s kicking off with the return of Nunzio’s Pizza, a pop-up takeout concept offered by the restaurant in the first half of 2024.

It’s joined by Corky’s Wine Shop, featuring hand-picked selections by Harvester Kitchen’s sommelier, Ashley Stroh.

After Nunzio’s Pizza Kitchen paused operations in July “to refine our vision, it was clear from the response of our followers that Nunzio’s needed to return,” said Anna Fey of Anna Fey Designs. “That’s when the idea for Nunzio’s Food Hall was born – a space to expand on Nunzio’s Pizza Kitchen and introduce a broader range of to-go offerings.”

Up next will be the addition of Bro’s Baby Back Ribs and Jambon Beurre, a classic French ham and butter sandwich on a baguette, said Fey, who is the niece of co-owner Bryan Moscatello and does marketing for the restaurant. Those will be followed by additional “delicious options,” she said.

The restaurant has opened a separate entrance on the north side of The Harvester Building at 196 E. Sixth St. for customers to pick up their orders.

It also turned a former “living room” space where diners could wait to be seated or gather for drinks into an area where people can wait for their to-go food and order a drink if they want. Harvester Kitchen carved out another spot for restaurant diners to wait.

The food hall doesn’t offer seating inside for dining, but the plan is to let Nunzio’s customers use the patio when the weather is nice, Fey said.

Nunzio’s Pizza features 10-inch pizzas that are baked in a wood-fired oven using cherry wood for a “signature smoky flavor.”

The current menu includes five offerings, ranging from cheese with a Italian blend of sharp provolone, fontina val d’aosata and mozzarella with a San Marzano tomato sauce to the S.P.O. with spicy Italian sausage that’s made in-house, roasted peppers, caramelized onions, along with the tomato sauce and Italian cheese blend. Prices range from $18 to $20.

Nunzio’s Pizza plans to offer pies for special occasions like the upcoming Super Bowl. In addition to the regular menu, Sunday’s offerings include The K-Swift Pie with wagyu burnt ends, pickled onions, pickled Fresno chili soubise and the Youse Guys Pie with shaved American wagyu, caramelized onions, roasted mushrooms and a provolone picante mornay.

Order by 5 p.m. Saturday for pickup anytime between noon at 8:30 p.m. Sunday. To pre-order, call 605-271-2015.

For dessert at Nunzio’s Pizza, the menu includes cannoli crafted by Chef Willow Honerkamp, featuring fried-from-scratch cannoli shells with a creamy ricotta and chocolate chip filling on the side to be assembled when they’re ready to be eaten.

The wine offerings from Corky’s have been selected to pair with the pizzas, Fey said. There are pinot noir picks, red and white wines from Italy’s Piedmont region and the Pizza and Paris collection, which includes champagne selections. Bottle prices range from $45 to $165.

“In the future, we’ll expand the pairings to match additional menu items,” Fey said.

Hours for Nunzio’s Food Hall are 4 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Orders can be placed online at nunziosfoodhall.com anytime for pickup during those hours.

“Nunzio’s Food Hall is all about bringing bold flavors to busy lives — without compromise,” Fey said. “We’re thrilled to bring this concept to life and to be back serving delicious, handcrafted offerings that are thoughtfully curated with quality and care. Whether you’re picking up a pizza or looking forward to future additions, every meal is made with intention.”
