Conzatti's Italian Market

I've been forcing Mrs. Anderson to shop at Conzatti's, but no more. There was a time we would buy cheese 5 and 6 lbs. at a time when it was on sale. Mostly Colby & provolone because they would freeze so well. The last time I went to buy a half log of their jumbo provolone, I noticed the piece the clerk was weighing was faceted all around. When I asked about it, the clerk said they had gone over it with a cheese plane to "clean it up". I don't know about you, but I do not want 5 lbs. of cheese that had been "cleaned up". Never bought cheese there again Then. Mrs. Anderson picked out a nice-looking chuck roast. When she checked, it was 4 days beyond the code date, as was every other roast in the cooler. She pointed that out to the manager who said he would take care of it. Now, does "taking care of it" mean to weigh it and slap on newly printed labels with more current dates, or, perhaps, throwing it in the grinder to be sold as ground beef? Never bought meat there, again.I had been buying cashews there for Mrs. Anderson. Lately. the bulk cashews were displayed covered by a plastic skrim, so I thought it was more prudent to buy the store-weighed packages. Curious to find out how much the packaging weighed, for the hell of it I weighed a couple as purchased. All I found out was that I was not buying nuts by net weight as I had all my life, but by the gross weight of the package. Silly me.If I have to check every tomato in a peck, I find a new tomato farmer.

Really good family market type place. Their wedding soup is my favorite! They have an amazing variety of foods there and the fresh bread is so good!

Great Italian Market in Johnstown. Deli is always fresh, they have a LOT of house-made things including sausage and pizelles. Olive Bar too

Basically a local version of DeLallo's in Jeanette. Not as much choice but similar prices.

Simply the best, hands down! If you want the freshest, most versatile selection of deli luncheon meats anywhere around, then this is your place. Plus, they have literally hundreds of selections and varieties of pasta, a mega selection of sauces, homemade breads, and just about anything you could ever want from the old country; at least as far as preparing your meal goes. You'll still have to go back to Italy for that authentic Italian wife, if that's what you're after!The selections are great, as are the staff as well! I've been shopping there for forty years now, and still look forward with great anticipation to my next visit. So, if you're bored with the same old grocery shopping experience week after week, give yourself a treat. You'll be glad you did. And tell them Ol' John sent ya!!!

Conzatti's deli foods are so good! If you ever pick up pre-prepared foods at Giant Eagle stop punishing yourself and go to Conzatti's!

I was traveling through Johnstown and stopped in to get a fresh Italian hoagie. They were out. Fortunately for me a lady came from the back and said she would make one up. I just love family run businesses that go the extra mile. That service, and the hoagie, made my day. Plus, the wedding soup is also a must get. Great store.

Love this market!! Every time I come 'home' I have to stop at least once for fresh breads, meats, olives, dolmades....and I love finding new things to try!! My family loves my visits even more when I stop at Conzatti's!!!

Everything is delicious. You can't go wrong with anything. It's worth the crazy parking lot and wait.

I love ethnic markets--wonderful to have a place to buy specialty items and so much fun to discover new foods. Conzatti's stocks a lot of Italian classics, such as the right flour for pizzas, cannolis, etc., though surprisingly there are no Italian coffee beans or fresh-ground coffees. The selection of cheese is impressive, including several not available anywhere else in town, and prices are fair. I was excited to see an olive bar with a wide selection, including my favorite oil-cured olives, but my excitement soon turned to disappointment. The first time I tried the olive bar, the olives went moldy after just a couple of days. I hoped it was a one-time fluke, so I went back a few weeks later. The second time, my favorite olives were clearly well past their prime, sour and astringent, though the other olives were okay. Some other reviewers also mentioned other items past their prime, so this may be something to look out for.
