Meat the Martinelli's

At Martinelli Meats, quality isn’t a trend, it’s a tradition.

We’re a family-owned meat company built on old-school values: honest sourcing, expert butchery, and treating customers like family. What started as a passion for great food has grown into a trusted name for premium meats across Illinois, but our mission has never changed. We strive to deliver the best meats possible, without cutting corners.

We believe great meals begin long before they hit the grill or oven. That’s why we carefully select our beef, pork, poultry, and seafood from trusted farms and suppliers who share our commitment to quality and integrity. From USDA Choice and Prime beef to specialty cuts and handcrafted products, every item we sell is something we’d proudly serve at our own table.

In 2019, founder Mark Martinelli wanted to help people out during the pandemic and provide families with Prime steaks, chicken and pork when you were unable to find them in the stores. Mark looked to source the best products by working with local farms. Mark bought a refrigerated delivery van and started to hand-deliver himself orders to customers' doors. Mark's feeds his family the same great products that he sells to his customers.

As a small, local business, we’re deeply invested in our community. When you shop with Martinelli Meats, you’re supporting local families, local jobs, and an Illinois-based company that reinvests right back into the communities we serve. We may not compete with big-box stores on bulk pricing, but we win on quality, service, and trust.

Whether you’re planning a holiday feast, a backyard cookout, or a simple weeknight dinner, we’re here to make it memorable. From custom cuts to personal service and home delivery, we bring the neighborhood butcher experience straight to your door.

Martinelli Meats is about premium meats, family values, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
