Spicy Pickle, Inc.
Spicy Pickle restaurants serve high quality meats and fine Italian artisan breads along with a wide choice of 10 different cheeses, 21 toppings and 15 proprietary spreads to create delicious panini and sub sandwiches with flavors from around the world. We also serve a pizzetti neopolitan style thin crust pizza and hand-tossed salads and soups. Spicy Pickle serves the fast growing "fast casual" market where customers demand more than "fast food," but without the price point of "casual dining." The hallmark of a Spicy Pickle restaurant is quality, service and an enjoyable atmosphere.
