🥖 Choose Your Style
Smokey Italian Salami
Premium Italian salami with a smokey twist. Piled high with provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Italian dressing.
Traditional Italian
Imported Italian capocolla, prosciutto, and mortadella. The authentic Italian sub with premium imported meats, provolone, and all the fixings.
Smoked American
Our smokey spin on the American classic. Variety of quality deli meats, American cheese, and homemade honey mustard.
Traditional All-American
The crowd-pleasing classic. Variety of quality deli meats, cheese, and our homemade honey mustard.
🍯 Homemade Honey Mustard: Our American subs come with Frato’s scratch-made honey mustard — not the packets from a food service supplier.
Not All Party Subs Are the Same
Subway, Jimmy John’s, and Jersey Mike’s pump out thousands of sandwiches a day using pre-sliced deli meats from plastic packages, generic bread baked off-site, and assembly-line efficiency. Their “party subs” are just longer versions of the same mediocre sandwiches. Factory food caterers do even worse — bulk ordering from the cheapest suppliers and charging premium prices. You’re paying for convenience, not quality.

Your guests will know the difference. When the Italian sub has real imported capocolla and prosciutto instead of generic salami, when the bread has actual texture, when the honey mustard is homemade — they notice. Stop ordering fast food party subs for your event. Give them real deli quality.
