🥒 Little Pickle, the Jewish-style deli pop-up that captivated Phoenix diners during a six-month run in 2022-2023, has reopened with a permanent home at the Esplanade near the southeast corner of Camelback and 24th Street.
Breakfast options range from bodega-style egg sandwiches to traditional New York-style bagels and lox.
The deli’s popular pastrami sandwich (pictured), house-roasted turkey sandwich, and classic egg salad sandwich head the lunch options.
Little Pickle is part of 151 Hospitality, which also is opening The Mercer, an elevated American bistro and martini bar, and Camello, a high-energy Mexican concept, at the Esplanade.
