Where to get authentic Italian cold cut Subs
 

Can not find any down here. I am talking like the white house in Atlantic city. Fresh Italian meats, oil not mayo, the whole deal. Please help my wife and I out. Merry Christmas.

"authentic Italian cold cut Subs?"
If you wish "authentic Italian" I would suggest a trip to Italy. Their subs are probably "authentic."

I think the OP was pretty clear he was talking about Italian cold cuts and he explained exactly the type of sub. My grandmother, who immigrated to Boston from Genoa, would consider her sandwiches authentic Italian. I've never been to Italy but had plenty of authentic Italian subs.

Yes Frayednds I thought I was.

Jersey Mikes ?

Yup. I'm only part time there so I can't answer your question. But the timing was of your thread was ironic. Last night I was trying a fairly new sandwich shop here in Westminster, Massachusetts and they had an Italian sub. Mortadella, capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, with onions, pickles, tomato, oil and hots. The menu also had mayo on it, which I thought was strange. I removed the mayo and it was very good, almost like what I grew up with in East Boston.

I miss little Italy areas in cities we visited, or china town with ducks hanging in the window.

We like White House, but we eat at Sack O Subs in Ocean City many more times.
It’s not an Italian Sandwich like Italy, it’s an Italian Hoagie, like South Philly (i.e Angelos).

I’ve been on the search for a sandwich from home, the closest is Jersey Mikes.
Haven’t found a good cheese steak or real pizza place yet.
There’s a Philly themed food truck that sometimes is at LSL, havent tried their cheese steaks yet.

Yes, about as fresh as you can get. The other option would be to make it yourself if it’s only “Italian meat and oil”. I found this online.

Yes!

You're in Florida now. Good luck. I'm still searching for a good pizza and bakery. The best subs I found were Jersey Mike's Jersey shore sub. Reminds me of home.

That's what I was thinking too.

The only place I have found that is genuine is Mazzaros. Take the trip and bring a cooler!!! It is awesome!

Mazzaros hands down !

Sorry I can't help. The only sandwich I long for is, sadly, a distant memory. A stand in Alhambra, California, circa 1960's and 70's, called The Hat. Served either a roast beef dip or a pastrami dip. A crusty Italian loaf cut in half, piled very high with beef or pastrami, then submerged in a cauldron of au jus for the beef or a cauldron of (?) pastrami jus, wrapped in butcher paper and served dripping with juice and a huge pickle. When they changed bread supplier it just didn't quite taste the same. Like when someone you love passes, you may still find people who are wonderful, but jut not the same.
Remember the way it was, but don't expect the new to be clones of your past. Be thankful for your good memories.

make your own at home, best answer. AS far as Jersey mikes goes, better eat there sooner than later, as Private equity bought out the chain, and most likely it will be going down hill and out of business sometime in the future. (I didn't say near future, but the quality may change in the near future)

Publix, in my opinion has the best subs. Boars head meat is the best quality compared to Jersey mikes. They will make whatever you want.

Boars Head had to recall an enormous amount of meat, and entirely close a plant, due to contamination, thus " pulling a Boeing".

I’ve lived in Naples and Verona, Italy and believe any “authentic” Italian sandwich is void of mayonnaise . My favorite place in this area is Stacio’s in Orlando. It’s one of several places I always stop at when in that area.

Locally, I’ll grab something at Gio’s Deli and Mercato.

Wish mazzaro was closer to us

And McD’s is right up there in the list of suppliers made their customers sick.

I was stationed in New Jersey in 1969-1970 and there was an Italian deli in a nearby town that made the best hoagies. He had an oil and herb mixture he poured on the sandwich that was superb. The owner piled the meat on along with all the other fixings, I haven't been able to get a hoagie or sub that comes anywhere near it.
I was in Philadelphia one night with a friend that lived there, and I got a cheese and steak sandwich from one of those store fronts where you ordered and stood at a stand in front and ate your food. I have not had a sandwich like it anywhere. And the bagels!!! Gotta stop, I'm making myself crazy.

If you feel like driving to Clermont.

Gio's on 301 makes good Italian subs, but they don't use mortadella (which is what I'm used to) and I don't think they offer a strip of anchovies over the top as an option (best way ever). You can ask them to heat it for you, otherwise it's a cold sub.

When Publix has it on sale ($8.99), I usually get a Whole Boar's Head Italian Sub with Genoa Salami, Tavern Ham, Cappacolla, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato on Italian 5 Grain Bread with Onions, Jalapeno Peppers and Boar's Head Sub Dressing. It ain't Defonte's, but it's a nice sandwich.

Heat an Italian sub? I don't think so. Obviously not Italian. I got one at Jimmy Johns - had all the right meat and seasonings in a lettuce wrap. If you can find some good Italian bread (maybe Gio's) transfer the whole sub to that.

I second Gio's on 301

I ate at the Hat in Brea California loved it and a small order of fries was a lunch sack. Supposed to be an authentic N.Y. Style pastrami took my boss who was from New York and he said it was not. Supposed to be on marbled rye with Russian dressing. Goes to show no matter how good if not from home wont be as good.

You may be able to find what you’re looking for at Gio’s on 301, west side of the street, just north of 466.

Subway

Gio’s in Oxford , north on 301

Merry Christmas! I'm eagerly following your quest!

Italian sub
 

The best place that we found is Publix. They make it in front of you . Their bread is crusty and chewy and that’s how it should be. We ordered from Jersey Mikes once. Worst sandwich ever! Who puts mayonnaise on an Italian sub, and the bread was not crusty .It was made while we were standing their but we could see what they were doing and they never asked what we wanted on it😠

Gino’s in Oxford. Not that far from the north part of the villages. THE BEST

Mazzaro's Italian Market - worth the trip down.

Exactly, Boars Head went from A+ to Failure after epic disgraced filthy Plant disclosures.

After following exactly what went on in those Plants, I'll never, ever again order Boars Head from Publix.

Recently, they said it was fixed, which was a blatant lie, as they were forced to close again for the same multitude of reasons.

Publix Brand isn't very good either, but their stockpile is gone because no one is buying BoarsHead anymore.

Yesterday, at Colony, the only type of Publix luncheon meat was Hot Ham, which is nasty and Sweet Ham which sounds nasty.
Good luck continuing the tradition of making good Italian sanwhiches at home.

Boars Head luncheon meats and cheeses were packed full in the deli cases for anyone brave enough.

Publix. You can customize your sub however you want it. You just have to ask they will make it with whatever cold cuts you want and toppings

I like Jersey Mike's subs, but I prefer the Italian subs from Publix and Subway. The Jersey Mike Italian sub tastes like it has too much ham.

It was a thing a little italian pizza/sub shop used to do in Brighton, MA. Mortadella, genoa, hot capicolla, provolone, two anchovies making a stripe across the top, heated in the pizza oven until the edges of the bread turned brown and the cheese was melted, then topped with olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and hot pepper relish. The bread came from an italian bakery in the North End, they delivered it fresh out of the oven every morning.
