The menu boards at the new Paisan’s Old World Deli & Catering in South Reno are 5 feet tall. In case people need to view them from a distance. Owners Angie and Mike Angelis are expecting a line. And why shouldn’t they? For a quarter century, the original Paisan’s has drawn enthusiastic diners to its storefront on Longley Lane, to the events it caters around town and, in more recent years, to its food truck and mobile pub.

This Friday, Dec. 6, the original Paisan’s is closing after 25 years. On Monday, Dec. 9, the deli re-opens in soaring new $1.5 million premises at 6550 Longley Lane, where Airway Drive and Double R Boulevard meet, just 1.5 miles south of its former home.
