Little Italy's Pizza & Pints
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 in Birmingham. They leased space in the Five Points Grocery building at 1924 11th Avenue South and Rozof, who is also a licensed contractor, built out the space himself.
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.
