530-750-7870 ziasdeli.com parents, Anne and Kevin Crilly. The next generation, daughter Angela and son Jonathan, are now running the business.

“We are fortunate to come out of COVID as a strong business,” Jonathan said. “Downtown will have a resurgence of new businesses taking the places of ones we lost, some of which will be healthy competition. When new businesses come in, it often helps you realize where your own can improve. We’ve had decades of success doing business, and think our customers enjoy the familiarity and simplicity of ordering.

“However, we see where our industry is headed, and know we’ll need to integrate more technology. Something our customers have voiced an appreciation for is online ordering, and ultimately, we’d like to be in control of our online store and not rely on a third party ordering system in the future.”

Angela and Jonathan have been working in the family business since they were kids. For the last decade, they ran the Sacramento location. The closure of the Sacramento store came at a perfect transitional period that allowed their parents to finally retire, knowing that Zia’s was in good hands.
