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.
