July 27, 1996: The former home of Dannyâs Deli, 23-25 Public Square, was sold Thursday to an Oswego pizzeria owner. Henry Distributing Corp., Syracuse, sold the four-story building to Anthony Calascibetta Jr., Oswego, for an undisclosed price. The new owner apparently has plans for a pizza business in the storefront, which has been vacant since Dannyâs Deli closed in 1994. Mr. Calascibetta, owner of Camâs New York Pizzeria in Oswego, declined to comment on his specific plans for the property.
