Our house-made, baked daily focaccia is vegan friendly, soy free, dairy free and nut free. It contains no seed oils, only using high quality extra virgin olive oil.

Though our recipe is a Zay’z secret, we can tell you it only contains: high protein wheat flour, yeast, water, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Toppings may be, but are not limited to: rosemary, basil, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes.

At Zay'z, we do things differently. We bake our signature focaccia fresh every day, make nearly all of our sauces, dressings, jams, and pickles in-house, and use carefully selected premium meats, cheeses, and produce. Every sandwich is handcrafted to order with an emphasis on quality, freshness, and flavor—without taking shortcuts.
