toasted sub

Warm long sandwich

A toasted sub is a submarine sandwich that has been heated, typically in an oven or sandwich press, melting the cheese and warming the fillings while crisping the bread.

The toasting distinguishes it from cold subs served at room temperature: I'll have the meatball sub toasted, please.

Chains like Subway and Quiznos popularized the format.
