DELIVERY

GINO’S FESTIVE SANDWICH: THE GOBBLER

GINO’S DELI | ALL BRANCHES

A delivery option that couldn’t be more festive if it tried? Gino's Deli has released a festive panuozzo, and it’s a winner! Aptly named ‘The Gobbler’, it's chock full of shredded roasted turkey, seasonal stuffing, tangy cranberry sauce, and rich, creamy brie cheese, stuffed between Gino’s signature panuozzo bread. Each bite is like a Boxing Day party in your mouth - the flavour combinations meld perfectly together.

Panuozzos are served with a little pot of thick turkey gravy, and as with all of Gino’s panuozzos, it’s extremely filling! Order a round of these for an informal team lunch and let those festive feelings flow.
