eatZi's Signature Sandwich Station


Want to hang out at one of the most popular hot spots in town? Belly up to the sandwich station at eatZi’s Market & Bakery with a few of your closest foodie friends, and get ready for a made-to-order meal experience like no other. Boy Scouts and loyal eatZi’s patrons alike know, when it comes to a crafting a stellar sandwich, you should always be prepared. That’s where I come in. Today, I’m taking you on a tour of our extensive menu of fixings and features. Stick with me, and you’ll be ordering like a pro in no time.

First things first. You've got to start with what eatZi’s considers to be the foundation of any sandwich - the bread. Can’t get enough of that delicious, fresh-baked aroma wafting through our aisles? That’s because all ten varieties of eatZi’s bread are baked in-house fresh every day.

• Bone bread (an eatZi’s signature and a must-try)
• Wheat
• Multigrain
• Baguette
• Ciabatta Roll
• Sourdough
• Pan Au Lait
• 100% Whole Wheat
• Cranberry Orange
• Deli Rye


Spreads are up next, and the list of our savory selections isn’t exactly short. They can literally take a sandwich from mild to wild, so be bold or play it safe. (Just don’t skip this part.)

• Honey Mustard
• Dijon Mustard
• Grain Mustard
• Yellow Mustard
• Basic Cream
• Spicy Aioli
• Southwest Pepper
• Hot Pepper Relish
• Low Fat Mayonnaise
• Ancho Mayonnaise
• Horseradish Mayonnaise
• Sundried Tomato
• Garlic and Herb
• Avocado Sour Cream
• Oil and Vinegar
• Pesto


Now, we come to the main menu attraction. From classics to Italian faves, the eatZi’s experts really know how to make a sandwich sing. (If you’re looking for a meat-free alternative, try our hearty Roasted Vegetables instead.)

• Turkey
• Turkey Pastrami
• Southwest Chicken Salad
• Grilled Chicken
• Chicken Salad
• Tuna Salad
• Egg Salad
• Roasted Vegetables
• Roast Beef
• Corned Beef
• Pastrami
• Salami
• Ham
• Prosciutto
• Hot Coppa
• Italian


In my kitchen and on my plate, there’s always room for more. Stack your “sammy” with fromage favorites like Swiss, cheddar, provolone, muenster or spicy pepper jack. Then, top it off with lettuce, tomato, sprouts or pickles for a strong finish. (We charge a little extra for avocado, but it can really take a sandwich to the next level.)

My recipe for sandwich perfection? I'll let you in on the secret: bone bread, a bit of our ancho may, heaps of eatZi's roast turkey, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, avocado and some of that hot pepper relish (for heat!)

For lunch, dinner or a even a snack, a satisfying sandwich from eatZi’s always hits the spot. So, stop by, say hi and hop in line. Your tastebuds will thank you later. (Our sandwiches start at just $6.59.)
