half sandwich

Split deli order

A half sandwich is a sandwich made with a single slice of bread folded over, or a standard sandwich cut in two.

Delis and cafés often pair a half sandwich with soup or salad as a combo meal: I'll have the half sandwich and soup.

The term distinguishes portion size rather than a distinct preparation method.
