A good Italian sub isn’t just a sandwich – it’s a celebration of bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the beautiful mess that comes with every perfect bite.
On a cutting board, layer your sliced mozzarella, ham, mortadella (or bologna), salami, and pepperoni on the open roll.
Melt and Crisp
Place the open sandwich on a baking sheet or in an air fryer. Heat at 375°F (190°C) for about 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges of the meats start to crisp.
Add Fresh Toppings
Remove from the oven and top with shredded lettuce and tomato slices.
Season It Right
Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (optional). Then go heavy with The Godfather seasoning — that’s where the real Italian flavor comes in.
Finish with Vinegar
Drizzle a small splash of red wine vinegar over the top. Skip olive oil if the sandwich already has enough moisture from the meats.
Assemble and Slice
Close the sandwich, press gently, and slice in half. Serve warm and messy — just the way a proper Italian sub should be.
