This Italian Club Sandwich is so much better than your average sandwich, with a delicious combination of Italian meats, pepperoncinis, and more. It’s great for lunch or a picnic!

I was never one to get excited about sandwiches until I ate at Parm in NYC and tasted their Italian Club. I was used to the average PB&J or turkey mayo sandwiches of my childhood, but this was a sandwich on a totally different level.

I went on to taste all of the sandwiches on their menu, including meatball parms and this Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich that I also recreated for the blog, but admittedly those take a bit more work than the club sandwich I’m sharing here.

If you’ve got 5 minutes, you have time to make this sandwich. It’s so easy, yet so good.

Even though Parm’s version is excellent, I can’t be buying $16 sandwiches all the time, so I eventually started recreating them myself. They’re very delicious, and much more affordable.

How to Make an Italian Club Sandwich:

To start, get a good hoagie roll from a bakery or the grocery store, and spread one side with mayonnaise:

If you have 10 minutes to spare, I recommend using homemade mayonnaise for the best flavor.

Next layer on thinly sliced soppressata:

Next up, genoa salami:

And then, thinly sliced black forest ham, layered on in folds:

And then! Prosciutto di parma:

But wait there’s more! Provolone or meunster cheese, and thinly sliced iceberg lettuce:

Iceberg’s crisp, watery crunch makes it the best lettuce choice here.

Add thinly sliced fresh tomatoes and sliced pepperoncinis:

Add a little salt and pepper on top, then put on the top piece of bread:

This Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich is also one of my favorites that I recreated from Parm in NYC. I also love these Italian Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats and Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops. Enjoy!
