The menu was succinct: one delectable sandwich composed of the unique combination of premium meats, cheeses, or marinated black olives served on hot Schlotzsky's - Pier Park sourdough bread. From humble origins, The Original created the passionate customer following.Now close to 40 years later, Schlotzsky's - Pier Park is an international franchise restaurant chain with locations in 35 states or four foreign countriesAs we've grown, customers' tastes have evolved, or so has our menu.
