SanPeggio’s closing in Homewood after five years
Founded by Tim Pegg and brothers Pat and Mike Sanford in the early 2000s, SanPeggio’s is a New York-style pizzeria focused on “homemade sauce, high-quality meats and cheeses and locally sourced veggies.” Sravan and Amareshwari Kumar acquired the business in 2021 and have since expanded the restaurant to a total of seven locations in the Birmingham area:
- Five Points South — 1024 20th St S #102, Birmingham, AL 35205
- Homewood (now closed) — 803 Green Springs Hwy, Homewood, AL 35209
- Valleydale — 2657 Valleydale Rd, Hoover, AL 35244
- Pelham — 1948 Montgomery Hwy, Pelham, AL 35244
- Hoover — 5250 Medford Dr, Hoover, AL 35244
- U.S. 280 — 1401 Doug Baker Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35242
- Chelsea — 50 Chelsea Rd, Chelsea, AL 35043
NY Deli & Juice Bar is bringing authentic halal New York chopped cheese to Homewood
Although Homewood is losing SanPeggio’s, something new and exciting is taking its place.
NY Deli & Juice Bar, a Georgia-based concept specializing in authentic New York-style food and drink, is setting up shop in the former pizzeria. According to founder Mohammed Nagi, a New York native and business owner, Birmingham’s proximity to Atlanta and a strong demand for authentic New York–style deli food helped drive the decision to open here.
“At NY Deli & Juice Bar, guests will see their food cooked right in front of them as if they’re on the streets of New York City. The famous New York-style chopped cheese is coming to town, so stay tuned!”

The new NY Deli & Juice Bar is expected to open in mid-June and will be the brand’s first location in Alabama.
