On a recent trip to Rome, the celebrity chef revisited one of his favorite spots for lunch and ordered a sandwich that he considers to be “perfect.”
“We are at La Vita è Un Mozzico,” Flay says, naming the Italian sandwich location in a new Instagram video. “Great sandwiches, lots of cured meats and stuff like that.” He waits outside for his sandwich among other tourists and locals before entering the small shop. This is his order.

“I always get the porchetta sandwich, which is roasted pork, crispy skin,” he describes. The sandwich also features stracciatella cheese and a pesto spread. “They serve it on this pizza bianca, which is like white pizza bread.”
If you’re planning a trip to Italy any time soon, be sure to head over to La Vita è Un Mozzico and try Flay’s favorite sandwich. Simple choices while traveling are ideal, and this lunch or dinner is great for on-the-go Rome days. Walking after a meal can help with digestion, which is much needed after the carb-heavy meals you’ll probably (and rightfully) enjoy in Italy.

But if you’re not looking to travel, the sandwich is easy to re-create at home with pork, stracciatella and pesto spread on pizza bianca, or focaccia as a more accessible option.
