Fall is the perfect
time of year to take a drive and escape for an afternoon. The next time you are
craving a wood-fired pizza or zesty meatball sandwich, head to Fremont, Ohio
for lunch or dinner and some gourmet food shopping at the newly opened Elroy’s
Deli Market. Located along the Sandusky River about 40 miles from Toledo, Fremont
is easily accessible from the Ohio Turnpike or U.S. 20.

Located in Fremont’s historic downtown, Elroy’s is a casual
and bright Italian eatery that has been attracting crowds since it opened in
July. Named after Shawn’s great-grandfather Elroy Kern, the market and deli
features hand-tossed, wood-fired pizzas, a variety of subs and sandwiches, specialty
salads, and classic Italian desserts including house made cannoli.

Need a suggestion? Try the deli’s namesake sandwich, “The
Elroy,” with melt-in-your-mouth, hand-rolled meatballs, pomodoro sauce and
mozzarella on a rustic Italian roll or a Margherita pizza with crushed San Marzano
tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and torn basil leaves drizzled with extra virgin
olive oil. Hungry yet?
