Bozzelli’s® in Arlington, VA. Lucio “Lou” Bozzelli co-founded what was originally known as “Bozzelli’s Brothers Deli” in the late 70’s. His business plan was simple, Serve. Great. Food.. He limited his menu to cold Italian sub sandwiches because he couldn’t afford a grill. Through word of mouth, his business started to grow so he could eventually afford a grill and even a stove top. As his budding operation improved he expanded the menu to include hot foods like lasagna and cheesesteaks. There was also demand for catering from office meetings to sporting events. Within a few years, Bozzelli’s became a popular destination in the Washington, DC area with five space stations as we like to call our stores conveniently located up and down Interstate 95.
