Olive Garden is finally given into unspoken demands for more breadsticks, but they’re delivering that in the shape of a sandwich with chicken or meatballs in the middle.

Starting June 1, patrons can order their new chicken parmigiana or meatball sandwich made with their famous breadsticks from the lunch menu.

“We’re always looking to evolve our menu,” explained Olive Garden spokeswoman Jessica Dinon to USA Today. “We’re always bringing on new items, and right now we’re really taking those dishes our guests know and love and giving them more ways to enjoy it. Obviously people love our breadsticks.”

The sandwich breadsticks will be wider, but the recipe will remain the same, the company said in a release.
