Not to be confused with Market & Deli or Gourmet Deli.
Deli & Pizza is a food place in Grand Theft Auto III, located in Bedford Point, Staunton Island, Liberty City, and in Ghost Town.
Description[]
As the name implies, the food place is a deli serving pizza, as well as sandwiches, soups, coffee, and salads. The sign that says "Coffee Shop Bar" above the place in Bedford Point is most likely related to this place and not a separate business. It is inaccessible to the player and plays no role in the storyline whatsoever.
In 1998, during the events of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the store was non-existent and the sign above the store was "Cafe Bar".[1]
In The Definitive Edition of Grand Theft Auto III, the developers made some spelling mistakes with the storefront textures, which were later fixed.
Influence[]
While it is unknown if the food place itself, "Deli & Pizza", takes influence from any real-life business, it is clear that the sign above the business is taken directly from the real-life sign which was above the now defunct business "Coffee Shop Bar" in Union Square, New York.[2]
