Westfield's Farinolio Makes Massive Schiacciata Sandwich

WESTFIELD, NJ - Farinolio celebrated their first successful year of operation in Westfield last week by creating what they believe is New Jersey's largest schiacciata sandwich.

Schiacciata is generally referred to as a Tuscan version of what is known as focaccia. It is generally thinner.

According to officials, more than 500 people came out to taste the culinary creation and they couldn't be more grateful for the supports.

"We would like to say thank you to our town, our customers, other store owners and our truly amazing staff for their support and for welcoming us to this wonderful community," they posted to social media. "All the nice and encouraging words gave us strength and inspired us to kept going and strive to make our business better. We look forward to many more years as part of this community."
