The Pickle Sandwich: No Bread, No Limits, All Flavor

When American Innovation Meets the Deli Counter

At Stars and Stripes Mart, we don't follow trends—we set them. While other delis are piling ingredients on the same old bread, we're doing something different. Something bold. Something that would make our founding fathers proud of American ingenuity. We're talking about the Pickle Sandwich, and if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on one of the most talked-about creations coming out of our deli counter.

What Makes This Sandwich Different

Here's the breakdown: your choice of premium deli meat, your choice of cheese, fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and crisp onion—all stacked between two full pickle halves instead of bread. That's right. No bun, no roll, no wrap. Just pure, crunchy, tangy pickle goodness holding your sandwich together. It's low-carb without sacrificing flavor, it's packed with crunch, and it delivers that briny kick that makes every bite interesting. This isn't a gimmick. This is a legitimate game-changer for anyone who wants bold flavor without the filler.

Built for the Maritime Life

The pickle sandwich was made for people who live by the water. Sailors have been eating pickles for centuries—they're packed with electrolytes, they keep well, and they deliver serious flavor in a compact package. Our version takes that maritime tradition and turns it into a full meal. Whether you're fueling up before casting off, grabbing lunch between errands, or looking for something light but satisfying after a workout, this sandwich hits different. It's refreshing, it's filling, and it won't weigh you down like a heavy bread-based sub. This is the kind of innovation that happens when you understand your community and what they actually need.

Customize Your Creation Like a Captain

We give you full command over your pickle sandwich. Choose from our premium deli meats—turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, or whatever you're craving. Pick your cheese—sharp cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss, provolone, American—we've got the options you want. Then we load it with fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and sliced onion for crunch and bite. Every ingredient sits between two perfectly halved pickles that serve as your edible plate. The result? A sandwich that's crisp, flavorful, and completely unique to our deli counter. You control the build, we handle the execution.

Why Customers Keep Coming Back

Once you try the pickle sandwich, you get it. The acidity from the pickles cuts through the richness of the meat and cheese. The crunch stays consistent from first bite to last. There's no soggy bread, no falling apart halfway through, and no unnecessary carbs if that's what you're watching. It's a cleaner way to eat a sandwich, and it's packed with more personality than anything you'll find down the coast. Our regulars request it by name. First-timers order it out of curiosity and come back as converts. That's the power of doing something different and doing it right.

Here's the insider tip: this isn't on our menu board, but walk up to the counter and ask for it—we'll build it fresh exactly how you want it. You can also order your pickle sandwich online for pickup or delivery. If you're done with boring sandwiches and ready for something with real flavor, this is it.
No bread. No compromises. Just American innovation served on a pickle.
Welcome aboard the pickle revolution.
