    Handhelds and Sandwiches

    Handhelds and sandwiches are some of my favorite family meals because they feel casual and are easy to share with friends and family. We have slow-cooked meats like Italian Beef Sandwich and Italian Pork Roast, or quick and easy recipes like our Cold Shrimp Salad and Chopped Italian Sandwich.

    In this category, you'll find everything from classic Italian sandwiches, burgers, sliders, wraps, stromboli, and anything else you can hold in your hand! This is the hub for all Italian American handhelds!

    You'll have to try one of our favorites like The Italian Breakfast Sandwich, Pepperoni Bread (Stromboli), or Eggplant Parm Sandwich.
