The term “Grinder” can be traced back to the East Coast, where, during WWII Italian immigrants setup sandwich shops close to the shipyards. Their freshly baked Italian rolls were filled with generous amounts of meats and cheeses and were then baked and garnished with lettuce and tomato. These super-sized sandwiches were a favorite of the hard working men who ground rivets off the warships. The friendly shop owners referred to the men as grinders and the ever popular sandwiches also came to be known as Grinders.

All our recipes were established by Samuel Mancino Sr. in the 1950’s near St. Clair Shores, Michigan. The original concept is still prevalent in our restaurant today. The original recipes and good customer relations have never changed.
Bellacino’s of Tulsa insists on providing products which are high in quality, generous in portions, and superior in freshness. We will never compromise our quality for gimmick or profit.

I won a certificate to Bellacinos. We got an 8 inch chicken alfredo pizza & salads when we went. It was great, we have put it on our ‘go to’ list when we are on that side of Tulsa!

My wife and I went to Bellacino’s a couple of weeks ago for our first grinder experience. It was sensational. I have never had a sandwich as juicy and delicious as the Chicago Steak grinder we had. The melted cheese with garlic sauce was a perfect compliment to the fresh bread, chopped steak and mushrooms. I will have to warn you, this is not Weight Watchers friendly, but it is worth every single bite.
