Roma Market

"Roma Market is far more of a grocery store than a sub shop, but almost everyone inside is there to eat a sandwich. The only one Roma serves is nameless and can be found each day pre-wrapped and stacked on the deli counter in the back. It’s also remarkably simple: just a couple of slices of provolone, some cured meat (specifically capicola, mortadella, and salami), and a drizzle of good peppery olive oil on a fresh-baked roll. You, along with 37 other people on their lunch break, will grab it, pay for it, and revel in the fact that you’re eating something this fantastic on the hood of your car in a Pasadena parking lot."

"The creation of Roma’s owner Rosario Mazzeo, “The Sandwich” consists of a sturdy Italian roll drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and layered with provolone, mortadella, spiced coppa, and salami. It’s renowned for its simple and satisfying prowess."

"“The Sandwich” Italian sandwich"

"Renowned in Pasadena for its simple and satisfying prowess, the sandwich is the creation of Roma Market’s owner Rosario Mazzeo. Its foundation, a sturdy Italian roll drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, is layered with provolone, mortadella, spiced coppa, and salami. Open for takeout. This is an Italian supermarket with hard-to-find cheeses, imported pastas, and - for the purposes of this list - a nameless sandwich you’ll find pre-wrapped and stacked on the deli counter. It’s as simple as a sandwich can get, just a couple slices of provolone and some cured meat (specifically capicola, mortadella, and salami) on a freshly baked roll. But with ingredients this excellent, it’s all a sandwich really needs. You, along with 37 other people on their lunch break, will grab it, pay $5.50 for it, and revel in the fact that you’re eating something this fantastic on the hood of your car in a Pasadena parking lot."

"Roma Market’s The Sandwich is an L.A. icon—a small, simple loaf of crusty and chewy Sicilian bread, some thin slices of mortadella, capicola, salami, and provolone, and a good drizzle of olive oil has captured the hearts of Pasadenans"
