meatball sub

Marinara-drenched torpedo sandwich

A meatball sub is a sandwich made with meatballs, tomato sauce, and melted cheese served in a long roll.

It's a staple of American-Italian delis and sandwich shops: I grabbed a meatball sub for lunch.

The sub may be toasted to melt the cheese and crisp the bread.
