Kazansky’s Delicatessen

Kazansky’s Delicatessen was located at 2201-2203 Murray Ave. in Squirrel Hill. It opened in 1998, when Brian Bennett, Paul Krause, and Mark Riley purchased the business from Rhoda’s Delicatessen. Kazansky’s Delicatessen maintained some of the traditional deli items from the Rhoda’s Delicatessen menu, while removing others and adding pork products to the menu. Kazansky’s opened a private dining room in 2007.

Kazansky’s Delicatessen closed in 2010, and the location became an Indian restaurant.
