I recently had the pleasure of trying out Schlotzsky’s new Italian menu, and let me just say, it was an experience I was not expecting! Freshly-baked pasta dishes at a sit-down and drive-thru establishment? Um, yes please…sign me up!

Schlotzsky’s, an easy-dining bakery-cafe, has premiered their new Viva L’Italia menu, a collection of fresh pastas, pizzas, and ciabatta specialty sandwiches.

To start of your meal, Schlotzsky’s has created its Italian Chopped Salad—chopped romaine lettuce, shredded ham , pepperoni, Cotto and Genoa salami, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, red onions, olive tapenade, and diced tomatoes topped with a robust Italian dressing.

Delicious options include pasta dishes such as Sausage & Peppers with Goat Cheese and Tomato-Basil Canestrelli, a great vegetarian option which several of us Austinites can appreciate.

The new gourmet pizza will be Chicken Alfredo which includes sausage, hand-carved chicken, bacon, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and roasted red bell pepper.

As far as the new specialty sandwiches, The Caprese was by far my absolute favorite of the three (which was also kid-approved, as shown below).

The sandwich included shredded mozzarella with roasted tomatoes, mayo, field greens, tomatoes, balsamic onions, basil pesto, and a balsamic glaze.

FUN FACT: Did you know that Schlotzsky’s started here in Austin as a small deli located on South Congress Ave in 1971?
