Central Grocery Company, located in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, is a third-generation, old-fashioned grocery store established in 1906 by Sicilian immigrant Salvatore Lupo. Renowned for creating the iconic muffuletta sandwich, Central Grocery continues to serve up this classic dish made with meats sliced in-house, locally baked bread, and their family's Italian Olive Salad.

Owned and operated by Tommy Tusa and Frank Tusa, Central Grocery has partnered with Goldbelly.com to offer nationwide delivery of their famous muffulettas. Featured on PBS, Thrillist, USA Today, and more, Central Grocery's muffuletta has been named one of the five best sandwiches by The Today Show, solidifying its reputation as a must-try culinary delight in New Orleans.
