A little Italy.
A lot of heart.
Our family comes from Castellmonte, a small town in Piemonte, Northern Italy. We're bringing those traditions — slow-fermented Neapolitan-style pizza, handcrafted sandwiches, homemade desserts, and artisan gelato — to the heart of downtown Tahlequah.
Made by Hand. Shared with Family.
Every item at Lena’s is rooted in Northern Italian simplicity: premier ingredients, patience, and uncompromised scratch preparation.

Rooted in Northern Italian Family Hospitality
Lena’s Italian Kitchen was born from generations of gatherings around wooden kitchen tables, where meals are neither rushed nor manufactured. Every pizza dough is mixed from scratch, given the time it needs to ferment, and baked with the freshest ingredients we can source.
We believe that food should feel like home. When you walk through our doors in Tahlequah, you are welcomed as family.
