Juicy, smoky meatballs smothered in rich marinara, loaded into a toasted bun, and topped with a melty blanket of cheese. This ain't your average meatball sub—it's a flavor bomb that’ll have you questioning why you ever settled for anything less. Grab some napkins, things are about to get messy (in the best way possible).
