C.R.A.V.E.’s Italiano

Tastemaker

Jan. 7, 2023

C.R.A.V.E. of Gaylord is best known for its pizza—which arrives fast, hot, and full of fresh and delicious ingredients like fire-braised chicken and sweet pepper drop—but next time you’re there, skip the pie and go for a sandwich. We like the Italiano ($12), which feels like a classic Italian salad in oven-baked wrap form. (Think: salami, banana peppers, black olives, red onion, and more.) Sandwiches come with chips and a pickle, and you can opt for gluten-free bread for an extra $4. For the best deal, stop in for the Express Lunch from 11am-3pm Monday through Friday. Priced at $11.50, the special includes a sandwich of your choice or personal-size, one-topping pizza plus a soup or side salad. (There’s even a lunch card for folks who visit frequently!)
