Here are five hot sub sandwiches you may not have tried yet—but once you do, there’s no going back.

🧆 1. The Mighty Meatball Sub

Flavor profile: Saucy, cheesy, bold

If you’re a fan of comfort food, this sub is calling your name. Our Mighty Meatball sub features large, juicy meatballs smothered in our signature marinara sauce, layered with melted mozzarella, and finished with a sprinkle of parmesan for extra richness.

Each bite is packed with Italian flavor and satisfying warmth—like a big hug in sandwich form. It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect for anyone who craves a classic meatball experience… toasted to perfection.

🇮🇹 2. The Pizazz Italian

Flavor profile: Zesty, savory, full-bodied

Looking for something with bold Italian flair? The Pizazz Italian sub is layered with thick cuts of pepperoni, salami, and smoked ham, then topped with melted mozzarella, black olives, red onions, and tangy pepperoncini. A swipe of mayo and mustard adds a creamy, spicy finish.

This is your go-to if you want an explosion of flavor in every bite. It’s salty, tangy, melty, and just messy enough to feel indulgent in the best way.

👉 Think of it as an Italian antipasto platter… but toasted and ready to devour.

🧄 3. Chicken Alfredo Bacon Sub

We’ve turned one of our fan-favorite pastas into a sub sandwich masterpiece. The Chicken Alfredo Bacon sub is stacked with garlic-grilled white meat chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and crispy bacon. Black olives, green peppers, and red onions add a pop of texture and flavor.
