Our story starts in the late 1800s
when a couple of Jewish
immigrants left behind an
economic depression and the
oppressive politics of the Czar
of Russia. Like many at that time
they felt the New World offered
them a real chance to succeed and be free. Settling in
Cincinnati, Mr. Kadetz offered his flair for cooking at the
renowned Sinton-St. Nicholas Hotel in Cincinnati. With
his confidence in culinary expertise and not being afraid
of taking risks, he opened the first
kosher-style delicatessen west of the
Alleghenies. His legacy has lived on,
tracing back to this start in 1901.
Izzy’s stiff-necked and stubborn
character often made an indelible
impression on people . . . whether it
was the shouting back and forth
between he and his wife Rose or the
price of food that varied depending on
what you were wearing and if you
looked like you had extra money to spend. Izzy’s
boisterous style, coupled with the savory food he served,
left many Cincinnatians with great
food and good memories.
In 1980 Izzy’s son David began
running the restaurant. David carried
many of the same qualities possessed
by Izzy and soon grew the reputation
and business of Izzy’s tremendously.
In 1982 David opened a second
restaurant on Sixth and Main Street in
downtown Cincinnati, and asked
trusted friend John Geisen, then a skilled tradesman,
to manage the location. John worked closely with the
Kadetz family, who took him under their wing and began
to instill their family and business values. John came to
understand that the secret to Izzy’s success was rooted in
offering superior quality along with the highest level of
customer service.
Together John and David helped grow the business
over the years and John Geisen became the President
and CEO.
John embarked on a mission to instill his passion for
quality on everyone at Izzy’s—from the store managers
to the front line staff. This “can-do” culture can be seen
every day at all Izzy’s locations. Whether in response to
a simple request for a special sandwich or catering a
party for 200 guests, Izzy’s employees understand that
the customer is King. This passion for pleasing patrons
easily explains the fierce loyalty shared by so many
fans of Izzy’s.
Consistently ranked the “Best Deli in Cincinnati,”
visitors to this tri-state tradition soon realize that
Izzy’s offers a unique experience that blends great
food with friendly and attentive staff, all while
maintaining the highest in quality and value.
The Izzy’s family has never been content to rest
on their laurels; they’ve gone from serving on
old pickle barrels with
wood crates as chairs to
their latest location having
a drive-thru, modern
lighting, comfortable
seating and the latest
innovative cooking
equipment. Yet Izzy’s still
depends on the same homemade
recipes Izzy Kadetz handed down
from his father way back in 1901.
The future of Izzy’s will undoubtedly bring John’s
passion for value and service beyond the tri-state. He
remains eternally grateful for his fortunate relationship
with Izzy, David, Rose, and the entire Kadetz family.
Reflecting on his time with them, John recalls back to the
80s when he asked them, “Do you know what you get
when you mix a Jew and a Catholic?”
The answer was a simple reply: “Success!”
Hurry back...got the rent to pay!!
