About Isaly’s

Isaly’s famous store front.
A legendary name in deli and dairy products
Say the name “Isaly’s” anywhere in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, – or wherever families from this area have migrated – and folks will answer, “I remember Isaly’s”. They’re likely, too, to tell you stories like these.
“I go as far back with Isaly Chipped Chopped Ham as with my first teddy bear. It was my favorite lunch meat when I was girl and I still buy it today.” Judy Hlister, Mount Lebanon, PA
“My husband has cousins in New Jersey and New York…and when we go up there we always take them Isaly’s Chipped Ham. They grew up with it and that’s a treat to them.” Becky Ruane, East Pittsburgh, PA

Starting in the early 1930s, Isaly’s deli and dairy products were sold exclusively in Isaly’s own chain of bright, white-tiled stores with “Isaly’s” written large above the doors. Now, with changed lifestyles, those stores are mostly a fond memory. But the Isaly’s brand of meats and cheeses lives on, in supermarket delis and convenience stores throughout Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, parts of Maryland and Virginia, too. Generation after generation, the brand remains a family tradition.
