The Enzo

Today’s sandwich came from the panini bar inside Presti’s Grocer & Deli in St Peters. I’m not even sure how I found this one. I think I was looking around Google Maps for my next sandwich near Sandwhich and somehow stumbled across it 😂

It’s pretty unassuming, with the deli counter tucked away at the back of the store. I was actually hoping to get the Wagyu, but the guy in front of me ordered SIX. There wasn’t even enough left for his order, let alone mine 😭 So I went for the next best thing, mortadella. A classic with about a 99.99% chance of success.

And honestly, pretty damn good. The sandwich was BIG, super fresh and really well priced. Most of the paninis are around $16, and you even get a little side of chips. I ate this around lunchtime and somehow still wasn’t that hungry by 8pm 😂

There was a fair amount of mortadella, heaps of rocket and creamy stracciatella with pesto. There was some pistachio crumb in there too, although I didn’t really notice much of it. The bread sat somewhere between your standard café roll and the more elaborate stuff from a specialty sandwich shop. Doughy, chewy and kinda homey, which I actually quite liked.

Nothing too fancy, just a big, fresh and satisfying panini for a very reasonable price. Gotta love a good old-school deli sandwich!
