Many people have a personal rule that they won’t order something they could make at home from a restaurant or takeout place. While we generally agree with that rule, we think there’s some wiggle room. Sure, you can easily make a grilled cheese at home—and it will probably be pretty good—but you can’t make it quite like your local sandwich shop. At Pica’s Deli & Ice Cream, grilled cheese sandwiches are among our most popular options, and just a quick look at our menu will tell you why. We take a simple childhood favorite and turn it into a gourmet sandwich experience.
Next time you visit your favorite sandwich shop, don’t hesitate to order a grilled cheese. Here’s why they’re some of our top menu items.
Grilled to Perfection
No matter how skilled you are with a skillet, it’s hard to match the perfect grilling that you can achieve with a restaurant kitchen. When you order a grilled cheese from a sandwich shop, you know the outside will be perfectly buttery and crispy, and the inside will be warm and melty.
Gourmet Ingredients
Even if you achieve perfect grilling at home, you can’t match the gourmet ingredients we use at Pica’s Deli. We go beyond bread and a few varieties of cheese. Our sourdough bread envelops cheeses, deli meats, spreads, and more to make delicious grilled sandwiches. The ingredients we use are unlike anything you can pick up at the local grocery store.
Unique Flavor Combos
Speaking of our gourmet ingredients, let us share some of our signature combos. We’ll start with the vegetarian options. First, there’s our Pesto Garlic Bread grilled cheese. We spread a generous layer of nut-free pesto on garlic bread and use both American and provolone cheese. We also have our Dill Pickle grilled cheese. American cheese, dill Havarti, and tangy pickles on perfectly grilled sourdough come together to make the pickle-lover’s ideal sandwich.
If you prefer some meat in your grilled cheese, you can’t go wrong with brisket. We combine three cheeses and thin-sliced house brisket to make a delicious deli creation. For something a little more unusual, try the Jammin’ Grilled Cheese. It’s Colby and American cheese with bacon onion jam: beautiful, simple, and delicious. Can’t choose just one? The Pica’s Triple Crown brings the Jammin’, Dill Pickle, and Brisket grilled cheeses together into an unforgettable culinary mashup.
