A closer look at what makes Gino's Deli's signature panuozzo distinctive: artisanal flour, freshly baked dough, homemade ingredients and bold combinations.
A great sandwich begins long before the first filling is added. At Gino’s Deli, it begins with the panuozzo.
Our panuozzo is freshly baked, built around handcrafted dough and made with artisanal flour from an Italian mill dating back to the 1930s. The result is a light, fragrant base with enough character to carry everything that comes next. It is not background. It is the foundation.
From there, we keep the approach direct: flavourful ingredients, thoughtful combinations and no unnecessary fuss. Gino’s Deli brings the spirit of Italian tradition together with the energy of New York deli culture, creating a sandwich that feels familiar and distinct at the same time.
The menu is designed for contrast and balance. Slow-cooked homemade pulled BBQ brisket meets garlic and herb sauce, sliced pickle and aged smoked cheddar in The Rebecca. Chicken Pesto Mozzarella layers oven-roasted shredded chicken, creamy pesto, fior di latte mozzarella and sundried tomatoes. The Italian Meatball brings homemade meatballs, rich tomato ragu, mozzarella and parmesan into a freshly baked panuozzo.
There is room for vegetarian and plant-based choices too, including Tomato & Mozzarella, Halloumi & Roast Vegetables and Italian Meatless. Each one starts with the same central idea: a proper panuozzo should be satisfying from the first bite to the last.
That is what we mean by doing it properly. Use a distinctive dough. Bake it fresh. Make ingredients that deserve to be called homemade. Then put them together with confidence. The dough should feel light, the fillings should have clear character, and every sauce, cheese and garnish should earn its place.
No invented story. No need for one. The panuozzo speaks for itself: artisanal flour, fragrant bread, bold fillings and premium flavour, made for the way people actually want to eat today. Find your combination, order it fresh, and let the sandwich do the talking.
