What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Maiale Deli and Salumeria in Wilmington, Delaware, for the episode "International Infusion" (S30E7), which aired 2019-07-17, featuring the shop's house-cured salumi and Italian deli sandwiches. Maiale operated as an Italian delicatessen and salumeria on Lancaster Pike in Wilmington, offering house-made cured meats alongside made-to-order sandwiches. A Yelp business listing for Maiale, updated September 2026, marks the deli as closed at its 3301 Lancaster Pike address. TripleDLife.com, a site that tracks Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives filming locations, also lists Maiale Deli and Salumeria among its closed locations.

A Google Places record checked 2026-09-08 likewise shows the business as permanently closed. No current website or working online ordering page for the business could be located during this check. Because these are listing-based signals rather than a news report or an owner statement, the closure is treated as reported rather than independently verified.
