How to Order Like a Pro
While the #13 is amazing on its own, our most loyal fans use these “hacks” to take the Italian sub to the next level:
- The “CPR” Addition: Ask for Cherry Pepper Relish (CPR). It adds a smoky, spicy heat that complements the salami and pepperoni perfectly.
- The Rosemary Upgrade: Swap the standard white bread for Rosemary Parmesan. The herbs in the bread bring out the aromatic spices in the Italian meats.
- Go “Mike’s Way”: Don’t skip the onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and oregano. It’s the acidic “zing” from the red wine vinegar that cuts through the rich fats of the Italian cold cuts.
See why the #13 is our undisputed #1 pick on our list of the [Best Jersey Mike’s Sub] for 2026.
