Big Wheel Panini

You could call it "Big Wheel Panini" since it's adjacent to Big Wheel Auto Parts (4455 Stone Way N.), or you could call it "Pat's Panini Sandwiches" after its owner, Pat.

Pat offers five different types of hot panini sandwiches, all for $5 each, except for the Grilled Cheese, which is only $4. Prices include…
