Sandwiches are versatile providing a virtually unlimited variety of combinations. Perhaps, this is why they are one of America’s favorite meals. On average, consumers eat them six times per week. When choosing a sandwich, the most iconic and beloved are subs. At Mario’s Pizza, we serve some of our sub sandwiches Philly style.

What Are Sub Sandwiches Philly Style?

People have been eating sandwiches for hundreds of years. Moreover, change the bread or fillings, and you can have an entirely new meal. Hence, you’ll find an assortment of types:

  • Panini
  • Po’ ’Boy
  • Ruben
  • Cubano
  • Gyro
  • Wrap
  • Submarine

Yet, among these, the submarine is one of the most beloved. Sometimes called hoagies or grinders, sub sandwiches originated in the Italian community. As the sub became popular, the fillings have changed.  However, the cylindrical-shaped roll that gave the sandwich its name has remained.

Legend credits a Philadelphian hot dog stand owner with the original Philly style sub back in the 1930s.  This sandwich begins with a fresh Italian or sub roll with a firm crust and soft center. Next, you need thinly shaved beef, preferably ribeye. This cut of meat is tender with a great beefy flavor that keeps its flavor even when well done.

While the originators of sub sandwiches Philly style only topped it with onions, some decades later chefs added cheese. In addition to a new ingredient, the sandwich got a new name: Philly cheesesteak.

However, the best cheese option for a cheesesteak sub is a matter of great debate. Many purists believe only provolone will do especially since the sandwich originated within the Italian community. Yet, both American and Cheese Whiz have also become popular options over the years.

Today you’ll find other choices to alter the flavor and texture of your Philly cheesesteak. For example, some diners like to add some sautéed bell peppers. Others like to swap the beef for chicken. Anyway you like it, a Philly style sub is one super delicious meal for lunch or dinner.

Why Choose Mario’s Pizza Over Other Local Pizza Restaurants?

Finally, we realize that Dominos ®, Papa Johns ®, Pizza Hut ® Marcos® and the like have pretty regular pizza coupons as well. However, they don’t have all that Mario’s Pizza brings to the table – literally! Here are a few reasons why Mario’s is better than other pizza places near you.

  1. We create our crust on the spot and hand-toss it. Then, we cook it to perfection in our specialty pizza ovens.
  2. Likewise, we offer a much wider variety of food as one of the best sit-down restaurants nearby. Of course, you can order any of our items for takeout as well (except alcohol).
  3. If you’re also looking for some of America’s best wings, pasta near you, salads nearby, satisfying stromboli, garlic knots, fried mushroom, fries, onion rings or other tasty appetizers, Mario’s Pizza is your spot!

Keep in mind, since flour flies all over our kitchen (remember that hand-tossed pizza tidbit?), our gluten-free crusts are not for people who have allergies or Celiac Disease because of potential cross contamination.
  6. Better yet, few of the other restaurants in the triad offer awesome kid’s meals for $5 or under either.

Which is the best Mario’s lunch special?

Do you deliver?

Yes! We deliver throughout the Triad via outside vendors such as Doordash. Or, you can order pickup at any of our locations. In addition to pizza, keep in mind that you can feed the whole office with our eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, baked ravioli, baked ziti, lasagna, spaghetti with marinara sauce, spaghetti with meatballs, garden/greek salad garlic knots, or cannoli party trays. So, we are a great delivery option for a special office-wide lunch.
