“Spicy Pickle is all about uncompromising quality and service, plus healthy, premium ingredients,” said Spicy Pickle co-founder and head “foodie” Kevin Morrison. “We start with fine artisan focaccia and ciabatta breads baked fresh daily, then add top quality meats like our roast beef, capocolla, mortadella, or Sausalito turkey, just to name a few. And of course, each entrée is served with our signature spicy pickle, aged in a homemade brine of chilies and our secret blend of spices to give it just the right kick.”

Guests can choose from an array of culinary sandwich creations developed by Spicy Pickle chefs, or they can elect to build their own masterpiece from twelve different meats, eight cheeses, twenty-two toppings and fourteen exclusive spreads prepared fresh daily.

Original fresh salads round out the restaurant’s menu. The spinach salad—a mouth-watering mix of spinach, fresh apples, walnuts and crumbled bleu cheese served with apple cider vinaigrette—or the Spicy Pickle tuna, featuring romaine lettuce and tuna mixed with chipotle mayo, spicy pickle relish, tomatoes and kalamata olives, dressed in a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. Four other creative salads, as well as soups and the world’s best spicy pickle, complete the lineup.
