Business Description

We are Darwin's theory applied to the sandwich. We have served only rolled pita sandwiches (Rollwiches) for 23 years. No cooking, no fried food, yet we are fast enough to feed 200+ people per hour, each Rollwich custom-made from over 40 selections. Voted best on Cape Cod last 6 years.
