THE SHORTY'S
SANDWICH
At Shorty’s Deluxe, the bread is the foundation of it all. Made fresh daily, each 12-inch round loaf is the perfect canvas for the shop’s muffuletta-inspired sandwiches. Guests can choose from four sizes to suit their cravings: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or a whole round—ideal for sharing, saving for later, or taking to-go.
The sandwich lineup is all about flavor without pretense, with names inspired by the legendary punk rock band, The Ramones. Options like the Joey, loaded with Italian meats, olive salad, and garlic aioli, or the Johnny, featuring roasted beef, whipped gorgonzola, and salsa verde, are hearty, satisfying, and anything but ordinary. Other standouts include the Dee Dee, pairing mortadella with pistachios and onion marmalade, and the Richie, a tuna-packed sandwich with nicoise olives and roasted peppers. Even vegetarians have a winner with the Tommy, combining marinated artichokes, giardiniera, and whipped ricotta.
