Pellini is a fast casual build your own concept eatery with an Italian healthy twist. They feature locally sourced meats, produce and Arizona Durum Wheat Pasta in a sleek cool modern atmosphere. You can build your own Pellini that's basically an Italian Burrito, a salad or a pasta bowl and other items.
I tried a salad. The salmon was better than I expected it to be and the greens were very fresh. Some of the ingredients I picked didn't work out so well in my salad as the broccoli is slightly cooked and cold and is not a good choice in salads nor was the grilled eggplant. I saw crunchy fresh cubes of cucumber and asked for cucumber and didn't notice a bin of old soggy cucumber that got used and tossed on my salad instead. I know old before new but that old should not have been tossed and not into my salad.
My husband tried a Pellini. The sandwich looks very much like a burrito. The chicken didn't seem breaded but might have been and they added spaghetti to the fillings. The sandwich doesn't get reheated so your cheese (if you pick cheese) stays cold in your sandwich.
Pellini is a unique fast casual option and is much higher quality than Subway or Panda Express.
