There were plenty of olives (the add-on) this time, as a higher concentration of meat, which led to a stronger flavor throughout. Thanks!

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.
