Littlejohns Deli

Littlejohn’s on the UVA Corner has been a go-to destination for hand-crafted subs and sandwiches featuring deli-style flavors since 1976. Across the street from the University of Virginia campus, aka Central Grounds, Littlejohns is Charlottesville’s most trusted name for gourmet sandwiches.

UVA Connection

Both current owners of Littlejohns are Hoos. Bill Smyth was a swimmer for the Cavaliers in the 1990s and recently returned to Charlottesville with a passion for what was a favorite spot for him in his undergraduate years. His partner, Stefan Friedman, is also a UVA graduate and has launched many successful businesses, including several in the fin-tech industry.  Friedman is a passionate foodie and prides himself on reviving businesses and restaurants.  

Taste the Tradition

Littlejohns has meant great sandwiches and subs on The Corner for over 50 years. It’s back after a hiatus during Covid, but now it’s returned in full flavor. You see? Lightening can strike twice!
