ABOUT US

History

Mediterranean Sandwich Co. began as a small restaurant in Downtown Mobile, Alabama. The spark that launched the company came from a trip overseas. In the earlier part of 2009, the founder, Vlad Moldoveanu, reunited with his good friend from college, Alexandru Petrovici.  They were trying to get a late-night gyro in Bucharest, Romania. It was dark, raining and the line of people wrapped around the building. Vlad couldn’t help but wonder, “What makes all those people wait in the rain? Is the food really that good?” Alex then replied: “It is the best Mediterranean food in town, and the only place open at this hour!” 

At that moment Vlad knew there was an untapped potential for a late-night restaurant in Downtown Mobile. What followed were several years of quick expansion as the hard work, customer referrals and sound business principles began to pay off. Ever since the first location opened its doors, diners have been raving and critics agree. Nine years later, we now operate a local chain of four restaurants and are known as a leading quick-serve Mediterranean concept in Lower Alabama.

The Food

Based on the idea that people are more health conscious and open minded to try something new, we decided to offer our guests a healthy, fresh and unique sandwich alternative.

The concept is simple and has been used for more than 2000 years. Meats are placed on vertical rotisseries, slowly roasted to a golden brown and shaved off the rotating spit. This is the meat that all of our sandwiches start with. As an alternative to heavier high carb breads, we use pita bread for all sandwiches and wheat tortillas for our wraps. We also offer several delicious vegetarian and vegan options.

At Mediterranean Sandwich Co. we have a passion for culinary ingenuity and excellence. We have created an innovative menu of handcrafted gyros, stone-toasted flatbread paninis and signature wraps. We also offer fresh-cut salads, homemade soups and delicious orzo pastas. Our bold and unique flavors leave you craving more.

We would like to invite you to Mediterranean Sandwich Co. to try our Award-Winning Menu. Come taste the difference in Addictive Food Hand Crafted with Love. We look forward to serving you soon.

Wow! This is such a great place to visit! The food was incredible, the service excellent as well. It was so good, we went twice in a row (lunch and dinner, and leftovers for breakfast). The hummus has mustard on it, which sounds weird until you try it. They have a spicy honey that's quite good with the pita wraps. The vegan options are all extraordinarily good. Just visit this place, you won't regret it.

We got in late and did not realize most of the restaurants closed at 9:00 pm, so we ended up here. It turns out, we were possibly better off because we may not have otherwise tried it. It’s just a tiny place, but it did have seating, but we took ours to go. We ordered the chicken fungi Panini and the spinach tomato orzo as a side. don’t be afraid if you aren’t a fan of blue cheese because if I didn’t know it was on there from reading a menu I would not have known it was there. The orzo did not have a lot of flavor to me, but the consistency was pretty good for something that is made and sitting in a container for however long. it wasn’t mushy, but I like it less done. For all I know, it’s made in a Greek style.
Our service was great and we really enjoyed the food.

Very good! I got the redneck gyro and really like the sauce. Not a traditional tzatziki, but had a little kick to it. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area!

Superb service , friendly staff and good food. Will definitely go back.

If you haven’t been here, I recommend trying the honey harissa sauce on anything really, it’s a sweet and hot honey sauce. I actually purchased a bottle on my way out the door.

Food is excellent and good size portions. I usually get the Italian job and bacon orzo pasta. Delish! They are fast and friendly. Nice size menu with something for everyone. Good location in WEMO. Not much atmosphere, a little small. Pepsi products. They do have tea and Dr Pepper.
