PITT’S PICK
Mortadella sandwich
from Carlito’s
Mortadella, marinated peppers, stracciatella and wild roquette on fluffy foccacia
Unplanned stop in Collingwood — wasn’t on my radar, just popped up on Google Maps and caught my eye. The blue smiley face out front was very cute, felt like a good sign.
And yeah… this was a total hit.
The marinated capsicum took me back to Small’s Deli 🥲 — not the same bread, but something about the flavour hit that same note. Everything just worked. The chilli had a real kick — not just there for show, proper heat. Bread was exactly how I like it: fluffy, chewy, a bit doughy with a slight char. Cheese brought that creamy balance, and the whole thing was properly loaded with layers of peppery mortadella.
Unexpected spot that seriously exceeded expectations.
