Find the remote, blow the whistle, it’s time for kickoff! Football season is upon us and that means Sundays filled with hard hits, great catches, big screen TVs and plenty of time with friends and family. Just because you can’t make it down to the stadium, doesn’t mean you can’t host your own in-home tailgate with all your friends. There is no better place for football food than right here at Carlino’s! Any or all of these items on the list will be sure to score a touchdown with your living room cheering section.
1. Our Renowned Tomato Pie
A Carlino’s list wouldn’t be complete without our world famous tomato pie- so we figured we should put it #1!
You know our tomato pie is much different than those out there – the classic chunky tomato sauce stands out above the rest.
And of course, our dough makes a great amount of difference as well! It’s special in the fact that we put it through a 48-hour fermentation process to ensure it’s top quality. A full pie will be a great amount to feed your team!
2. Chips and Dip
This is always a classic and easy to serve appetizer. Carlino’s carries a variety of chips and flavors in our stores. We would recommend our Cheesy Bruschetta Dip. The best way to utilize this is to dip our Housemade Bruschetta Toast!
The Cheesy Bruschetta Dip is pictured below, along with our Jalapeno Dopper and White Pizza dips.
3. Uncle Frank’s Porchetta Sandwich
One of our favorite hot sandwich options is our Uncle Frank’s Sandwich. It’s loaded with house roasted and pulled porchetta, house gravy, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, long hots. Perfect flavor combination for your game day appetite!

6. Mama’s Meatballs in Sauce
