To our dear customers, it’s with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Sonny Pezzello.

Sonny passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by loved ones. He truly was the heart and soul of Sonny’s Market. Since 1968, he and his wife Lucy worked side by side.

Sonny loved seeing familiar faces walk through the door every day. He took pride in knowing his customers…watching them grow up, then seeing them bring their own families in years later.

He was a devoted husband to Lucy for almost 70 years, and a proud dad, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

We’ll miss his laugh, his stories, and his smile behind the counter. May Sonny rest in peace.

Once arrangements are made, we’ll share the details here.

When a business has been making grinders — in other places they call them subs, hoagies, torpedoes, heroes — for almost 60 years, clearly, they know what they are doing.

A History of Sonny’s Market – 324 Jefferson Avenue, New London, CT

Sonny’s Market has been a beloved local institution in New London since the 1960s. Located at 324 Jefferson Avenue, this family-owned deli and sandwich shop has served generations of New Londoners with its legendary grinders and neighborhood charm.

For over 60 years, Sonny’s has offered freshly made sandwiches piled high with quality meats and cheeses, always served on fresh, crusty bread. Their Genoa grinder, especially when ordered with oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes, has become a local favorite. Despite its no-frills, cash-only approach, the market is consistently top-rated for its friendly service and unbeatable value.

Students from New London High School often make Sonny’s their go-to stop on the way to or from school. Beyond the storefront, Sonny’s has also expanded its reach with a food truck that has served the hardworking employees at Electric Boat for many years—further proof of its deep ties to the local community.

Whether you’re a longtime local or new to town, Sonny’s Market offers more than just sandwiches—it serves a slice of New London history with every order.
