What Is a Philly Style Sub Sandwich?

Generally, since you’re looking for sub sandwiches Philly style, you probably have an idea of what it is. However, there is some debate on what is a true Philly cheesesteak sandwich. First, let’s consider different ways people eat sandwiches and what they call them. Typically, a sandwich is made from a filling surrounded by some sort of breading.

Types of sandwiches include:

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

Overall, a submarine sandwich is one of the most popular. Also known as hoagies or grinders, the origin of sub sandwiches is greatly debated. However it got here, there’s virtually no dispute on how delicious it is! More specifically, it’s a little easier to track down who created the original Philly style sub. According to legend, a Philadelphian hot dog stand owner developed it in the 1930s.

First, you start with a fresh Italian or sub roll that has a firm crust and soft center. Second, you fill it with thinly shaved beef, preferably ribeye. Notably, this is a tender cut of meat with robust flavor even when cooked well.

Next, the other fillings have evolved over the years. Originally, chefs topped sub sandwiches Philly style with onions. A few decades later, sandwich shops added cheese. Along with the new ingredient, the sandwich got a name upgrade: the beloved Philly cheesesteak.

Speaking of cheese, there is still considerable debate on which is the best cheese for a Philly cheesesteak sub sandwich. Many folks believe provolone is the best topping. Although, both American and Cheese Whiz are popular options.

Moreover, there are lots of other options for your Philly submarine. From sautéed bell peppers to opting for chicken instead of beef, you can have it YOUR way for a perfect lunch or dinner!

More Than Just Subs on the Menu

Speaking of options, Philly cheesesteaks, subs and sides aren’t all that’s on our menu. As our name implies, we have delightful NY-Style pizza. Plus, we offer more toppings than most of our competition. Sizes range from a smaller personal 10-inch pizza to our humongous 24-inch pizza that feeds a crowd and is perfect for parties.

Likewise, if you can’t decide on a topping, try one of our specialty pies:

  • 5 Boroughs – meat lovers
  • Greenhouse – vegetable pie
  • The Worx – a little bit of everything
  • Pizza Bianco- white pizza
  • Spicy Buffalo chicken – chicken with some heat

For customers with special dietary needs, we have cauliflower/gluten free crust as well. However, keep in mind that since flour flies around our kitchen, there is a possibility of cross-contamination.

Similarly, we serve authentic Italian entrées as well:

  • Baked ziti
  • Lasagna
  • Eggplant parmigiana
  • Chicken parmigiana
  • Cheese ravioli
  • Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce

Each entrée comes with a side salad and garlic knots.
