Little Italy's Pizza & Pints, originally Little Italy's Pies & Pints was a New York-style pizzeria and bar in Five Points South.

It was opened on December 16, 2014 by Russ Rozof and his daughter, Shannon Kidd, who managed the business. Rozof, formerly a partner in Helena's Little Italy's Pizza, sold his stake in order to open the new restaurant, sometimes called a "sister restaurant" in Birmingham.

The business was acquired in 2016 by Jay and Robin Veal. Under their management it became known as a supportive venue for local musicians, hosting artists 7 nights a week.

The business closed in April 2023 with plans to reopen in another location under the name Litty's, which was already used by regulars.
